“Rejoice with Jerusalem and exult in her, all those who love her; rejoice with her in celebration, all those who mourn over her.” (Isaiah 66:10)
📜 Reflection from Rabbi Ḥiyya:
1️⃣ The Destruction of the Temple
• When the Temple was destroyed due to human pride and transgressions, Israel was exiled from their land. • Hashem withdrew above, not turning His attention to the destroyed Temple or His exiled people. • The Shechinah (Divine Presence) entered exile alongside the people of Israel.
2️⃣ Mourning the Shechinah
• Both the upper worlds and the lower worlds mourned this tragedy. • Why? Because power was given to the Sitra Achra (the Other Side, representing evil forces). • The holy kingdom (Malchut Shamayim) was humbled, while the kingdom of wickedness gained strength.
3️⃣ Our Role in Mourning
• Each person is called to mourn and humble themselves along with the Shechinah. • Why? So that when the Shechinah rises and the world rejoices, you too will rejoice with her! 🎉
✨ Key Takeaway: The verse reminds us: “Rejoice with her in celebration, all those who mourn over her.” Through mourning the pain of the Shechinah, we prepare ourselves to share in her ultimate joy and redemption. 🙌

(Raw text from Zohar ⬇️)
“Rabbi Ḥiyya opened: “Rejoice with Jerusalem and exult in her, all those who love her; rejoice with her in celebration, all those who mourn over her.”
Come and see: When the Temple was destroyed, pride caused the exile of Israel from their land, and the Holy One, Blessed be He, withdrew above, not looking upon the destroyed Temple or His exiled people. Then the Shechinah (Divine Presence) went into exile with them. Because of this, both the upper and lower realms mourned, for power was given to the Sitra Achra (the Other Side). Therefore, since the holy kingdom—Heaven’s kingdom—was humbled and the kingdom of wickedness grew strong, every person must mourn and humble themselves along with her. This is so that when she rises and the world rejoices, they too may rejoice with her, as it is said: “Rejoice with her in celebration, all those who mourn over her.”
