SYNOPSIS:

We are told that Yisrael is the heart of the whole world, and the heart is the only part of the body that knows pain and trouble because it incorporates existence and intelligence. Thus it is the only part that is close to God at all.

Relevance of the Passage

The Light of healing flows to our heart and to the entire cardiovascular system. Moreover, this Light warms and heals our spiritual heart, transforming us into kind, compassionate, and loving people. The Light energy generated here is the lifeblood of humanity. And just as the heart furnishes the body with blood, this Light flows to the collective body of man - the nations of the world - nourishing their souls with divinity to melt away the barriers of religious and social intolerance. The suffering and pain endured by the heart ceases, replaced with gladness and joy. And the knowledge of the Creator permeates the land, bringing peace and love to all civilization.

Pasook 152. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha Pinchas

שְׁאֶלְתָּא אַחֲרָא, דְּוַדַּאי אֲנָן קְרֵבִין לְמַלְכָּא עִלָּאָה, יַתִּיר מִכָּל שְׁאַר עַמִּין. וַדַּאי הָכִי הוּא, דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבַד לוֹן קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא לִבָּא דְּכָל עָלְמָא. וְהָכִי אִינּוּן יִשְׂרָאֵל בֵּין שְׁאַר עַמִּין, כְּלִבָּא בֵּין שַׁיְיפִין, כְּמָה דְּשַׁיְיפִין לָא יַכְלֵי לְמֵיקָם בְּעָלְמָא אֲפִילּוּ רִגְעָא חֲדָא בְּלָא לִבָּא, הָכִי עַמִּין כֻּלְּהוּ, לָא יַכְלִין לְמֵיקָם בְּעָלְמָא, בְּלָא יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְאוֹף הָכִי יְרוּשְׁלֵם בְּגוֹ שְׁאַר אַרְעָאן, כְּלִבָּא בְּגוֹ שַׁיְיפִין. וְעַל דָּא אִיהִי בְּאֶמְצָעִיתָא דְּכוּלֵי עָלְמָא. כְּלִבָּא גּוֹ שַׁיְיפִין.

Translation

The second question ASKED BY THAT GENTILE, IS THUS: FOR surely we are closer to the Supernal King than any of the other peoples. This must be so for the Holy One, blessed be He, made Yisrael the heart of the whole world, and the relationship of Yisrael to the other nations is as that of the heart to other parts of the body. And just as the other parts of the body do not last, even for a moment, without the heart, so it is that none of the other peoples can exist in the world without Yisrael. Jerusalem, too, has the same relationship with the other countries, being as the heart to the parts of the body, which is why it is in the center of the whole world just as the heart is in the center of the limbs.

Pinchas: Verse 153 וְיִשְׂרָאֵל מִתְנַהֲגָן גּוֹ שְׁאַר עַמִּין, כְּגַוְונָא דְּלִבָּא גּוֹ שַׁיְיפִין. לִבָּא אִיהִי רָכִיךְ וְחָלָשׁ, וְאִיהוּ קִיּוּמָא דְּכָל שַׁיְיפִין, לָא יָדַע מִצַּעֲרָא וְעָקָא וִיגוֹנָא כְּלָל אֶלָּא לִבָּא, דְּבֵיהּ קִיוּמָא, דְּבֵיהּ סוּכְלְתָנוּ, שְׁאַר שַׁיְיפִין לָא אִתְקְרִיב בְּהוּ כְּלָל, דְּהָא לֵית בְּהוּ קִיּוּמָא, וְלָא יַדְעִין מִדִי. כָּל שְׁאַר שַׁיְיפִין לָא קְרִיבִין לְמַלְכָּא, דְּאִיהוּ חָכְמְתָא וְסוּכְלְתָנוּ, דְּשַׁרְיָא בְּמוֹחָא, אֶלָּא לִבָּא. וּשְׁאַר שַׁיְיפִין, רְחִיקִין מִנֵּיהּ, וְלָא יַדְעִין מִנֵּיהּ כְּלָל. כַּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל, לְמַלְכָּא קַדִּישָׁא קְרִיבִין, וּשְׁאַר עַמִּין רְחִיקִין מִנֵּיהּ.

Translation

And Yisrael's conduct amongst the other nations is as that of the heart amongst the limbs. The heart is soft and weak, but gives existence to all the limbs, AND ALL THE LIMBS do not know pain, trouble and agony at all, but only the heart does, for in it is existence and intelligence. PAIN AND ANGUISH come nowhere near the other limbs, for they have no existence and know nothing. None of the other limbs comes near to the King, who is wisdom and intelligence that reside in the brain; the heart is the only exception. The other limbs are far from Him and know nothing about Him. Thus it is that Yisrael are near to the Holy King while the other peoples are far from Him.

chanoch's Commentary
