Abstract:
"Sefer ha-Zohar ("The Book of Radiance") has been mesmerizing readers since its appearence in Spain over seven hundred years ago. The splendor and enigmatic appeal of this canonical text of Kabbalah has never intrigued readers of all faths more than today, as it inspires us to regain our lost intimacy with the Divine without renouncing ourselves or the world ... Now you can experiences the Zohar and understand it even with no previous knowledge of Jewish mysticism. This SkyLight Illuminations edition offers insightful yet unobtrusive commentary that explains references and mystical symbols, shares the wisdom of spiritual masters and clarifies the Zohar's bold claim: we have always been taught that we need God, but in order to manifest in the world, God needs us."--Back cover
