Idra Zuta (literally small gathering) is a Kabbalistic sefer that is typically printed as part of the Zohar. It serves as a continuation of the Idra Rabba (literally large gathering), at which R. Shimon Bar Yochai first revealed mystical secrets to his followers. Three participants didn’t survive that revelation, so when R. Shimon reconvened the group on the day of his death, it was smaller – hence the name Idra Zuta (small gathering). Idra Zuta describes R. Shimon joyously sharing mystical secrets he had previously withheld, before he passed on to the next world. Printed as a miniature for use on Hoshana Rabba and Lag B’Omer at the Hillula of R. Shimon.
