זוהר שמות — דף צב ע”ב

The Zohar continues the explanation of the two letters of the holy Name that unite. The discussion concerns the secret of the entry into Shabbat and the Kiddush: sanctification of the day and sanctification of the night. Rabbi Shimon explains that "Remember" corresponds to the masculine and "Observe" to the feminine, and they unite on Shabbat into a single wholeness. The sanctities Israel receives on Shabbat come from above and Israel sanctifies itself through the descending abundance. The discussion continues on the details of Shabbat preparations and the secret of the candle blessing.
