Zohar on Tehillim 144 - Ashrei
Tehillim 144:1
- "Ashrei ha'am shekakhah lo, ashrei ha'am she-Hashem Elohav" - (fortunate is the people who live this way, fortunate is the people whose lot is such, fortunate is the people for whom G-d is G-d).
The month of Tishrei symbolizes judgment. The reduced gematria of the letters of the month Tishrei (תשרי): "tav" = 4, "shin" = 3, "resh" = 2, "yud" = 1—the numbers are arranged in descending order, hinting at judgment.
But the gematria of the word "shekakhah" (שככה) —(that this is his lot—such is his portion) equals the gematria of the name Moshe (משה).
And therefore—fortunate is the people whose lot is such, who have Moshe.(The Kohen's prayer in Tishrei, Zohar, Sulam, Acharei Mot, Zvi Nisanzon)
