Musar su Salmi 119:126
עֵ֭ת לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת לַיהוָ֑ה הֵ֝פֵ֗רוּ תּוֹרָתֶֽךָ׃
È tempo che il Signore lavori; Hanno annullato la tua legge.

And this is the language of the holy Zohar in Parshath Terumah on Psalms 129:126): "It is a time to act for the L-rd," viz.: "So long as the Torah endures in the world and men occupy themselves with it, the Holy One Blessed be He rejoices in the work of His hands and rejoices in all of the worlds, and the heavens and the earth remain standing. What is more, the Holy One Blessed be He gathers all His tribunal and says to them: 'See the holy people that I have on the earth, by whom the Torah is adorned. See My handiwork, about which you have said: 'What is man that You remember him?'" And when they see the joy of their Master in His people, they immediately open [their mouths] and say (I Chronicles 17:21): 'Who is like Your people, Israel, one nation in the land?' But when Israel neglect Torah, His strength, as it were, weakens, wherefore "it is a time [for you] to act for the L-rd.' These are the tzaddikim who are left. They must gird their loins and perform good deeds, so that the Holy One Blessed be He will strengthen Himself to rejoice with the tzaddikim and with His camps and battalions. Why so? (Psalms, Ibid.): [For] 'they have violated Your Torah,' and the men of the world do not occupy themselves with it as is fitting."

Rabbi Yose said, “Let us engage in Torah study, for the Holy One Blessed is He accompanies those who engage in study. So Rabbi Chiya began a discourse, “[It is stated,] ‘It is a time to act for Hashem, for they have made void Your Torah’ (Tehillim 119:126).” Rabbi Chiya explained the verse as follows: Suppose that people have become neglectful of Torah study or that they are remiss concerning a certain commandment, thereby causing the Shechinah to be distanced from the abode of the Holy One Blessed is He. Whenever this is the case those who tremble at Hashem’s word must summon all their strength to exhort people concerning the matter. Let them say, “Arise and take hold of the holy Torah or the neglected commandment! Raise it up from the degradation it has suffered because human beings have slighted it for so long. Let us now fulfill it for the sake of unifying the Holy One Blessed is He and His Shechinah.” Fortunate is the one who does this and fortunate is his soul. This is the meaning of the verse, “It is a time to act for Hashem.” That is, it is time to do something for the unification of the Holy One Blessed is He and His Shechinah. When is this time? Whenever people have “made void Your Torah.” Whoever proves to be eager and meticulous in this regard will be termed “the zealous one” and he will be rewarded for it.
