Book Reviews of Zohar (5 Volume set)
Book Review: Well, it's a start
Summary: 3 Stars
While it is a herculean task, it leaves a lot to be desired. Mostly, I would have liked to see the Aramaic (or a Hebrew Translation)added to the text. It would help a lot to understand some of the things which are simply not translatable.
I cannot imagine anyone who dosn't have a basic knowledge of Hebrew and/or Aramaic trying to read this text anyway.
It is a good start however.
Summary of Zohar (5 Volume set)
This five-volume set is the only complete English rendering of The Zohar, the fundamental rabbinic work on Jewish mysticism that has fascinated readers for more than seven centuries. In addition to being the primary reference text for kabbalistic studies, this magnificent work is arranged in the form of a commentary on the Bible, bringing to the surface the deeper meanings behind the commandments and biblical narrative. As The Zohar itself proclaims: Woe unto those who see in the Law nothing but simple narratives and ordinary words .... Every word of the Law contains an elevated sense and a sublime mystery .... The narratives of the Law are but the raiment Thin which it is swathed.General Books
