Reading the Zohar cover

Comprising well over a thousand pages of densely written Aramaic, the compilation of texts known as the Zohar represents the collective wisdom of various strands of Jewish mysticism, or kabbalah, up to the thirteenth century. This massive work continues to provide the foundation of much Jewish mystical thought and practice to the present day. In this book, Pinchas Giller examines certaing sections of the Zohar and the ways in which the central doctrines of classical kabbalah took shape around them.

In Reading the Zohar, Giller (University of Judaism, CA), has succeeded in producing a work that will engage nonacademic readers while still making a substantial contribution to the scholarly study of Jewish mysticism. * Choice *
