The Gemora (Kesuvos 111a) cites a braisa: A person should always live in Eretz Yisroel, even if it is in a city which has a majority of idolaters living there. A person should not live outside of Eretz Yisroel, even if it is a city which has a majority of Jews living there. For one who lives in Eretz Yisroel is regarded as one who has a God, and one who lives outside of Eretz Yisroel is regarded as one who does not have a God.
Rabbi Avraham Chalavah explains the following Zohar with our Gemora: The Divine Presence never left the Jewish people on Shabbos and the festivals and even on Shabbos during the weekday.
What is the explanation behind these ambiguous words?
He explains based upon our Gemora: There is no place for the Divine Presence to rest outside of Eretz Yisroel, for anyone who resides there is regarded as if he is Godless. On Shabbos and Yom Tov, however, the divine Presence descends even outside of Eretz Yisroel.
The Zohar does not mean “Shabbos during the weekdays.” Rather, the meaning is that the Divine Presence rests upon the Jewish people in the Diaspora on Shabbos and Yom Tov.
