Description
One of the great masterpieces of Western religious thought, the Zohar represents an attempt to uncover hidden meanings behind the world of appearances. It is the central work in the literature of the Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. This volume of selected passages from the Zohar, culled by the greatest authority on Jewish mysticism, offers a sampling of its unique vision of the esoteric wonders of creation; the life and destiny of the soul; the confluence of physical and divine love; suffering and death; exile and redemption.

A magical, mystical book that nobody is able to decode without taking kabbalah classes.
It's the Zohar. A magical, mystical book that nobody is able to decode without taking kabbalah classes. Personally, I find The Hermetica more approachable and understandable. But that's just my opinion.

A book that speaks in ~ Intellectual riddles and Symbols!!
This is a book that needs translating - from it's hidden Symbology and Metaphors!!!!! I can see through the Literalistic hype, or Codes!!!! I am no intellectual, but I am being taken through my own 'Inner'Initiations'!! Yet, I Am not part of any group or Religion!! I have passed the book on!!!!

Not really for me.
I wanted to no more about the kabalah regarding spiritism ect,but this book focused more on the hidden meanings of the Torah and is more of a religious read than anything else..

Inspiring and educative
A wonderful sneak-peek into the Zohar. Scholem did a great job picking these passages from the extant Zohar texts, and the translation is also very well done. The interpretations and explanations of the Torah, though controversial to the believes and teachings of contemporary (13th century) Judaism, happen to make the old Testament vividly graspable in a way that is part mysticism and part philosophy. An exquisite read.

A Gem
This slim volume picks out some of the most spiritually uplifting passages from the Zohar. It is truly a gem. I read it after Daniel Matt’s similar selection, and found this one even more compelling.
