The Zohar: The Book of Enlightenment

Not all versions of the Zohar are the same, and this one is of unknown provenance. Who knows where this "publisher" got what it claims to be the Zohar text? Who can vouch for the text's accuracy and reliability as the actual words of the Zohar (without scribal or typographical errors)?Contrast this situation with the work behind "The Zohar, Pritzker Edition," a translation that not only is supervised by the world's leading academic scholars of the Zohar, but also is based on a careful collation of the best manuscripts, early editions, and commentaries. And that scientifically edited Aramaic text is available for FREE download from the Web site of the publisher, Stanford University Press.

The Zohar states that "Israel is the heart and the rest of the world corresponds to the organs of the body."In the same way the heart furnishes blood to the body, Israel furnishes Light to the rest of the world. When there is a lack of blood flow in the human body heart attacks can occur. Similarly, when there is a lack of Light in the body of the world, hatred, terrorist attacks and war occur.As the Middle East peace process begins anew between Israel and Palestine, it is imperative that we inject Light into the region.all the sages throughout history have taught us that the Zohar is the only source of Light that can transform chaos and bring peace to the world in a merciful way. The Zohar is clear about this - bringing the Light of the Zohar to the world is the very purpose of our existence.And when we share the Light of the Zohar with others we ourselves receive the Light of the Creator.It's a simple concept, but we still have trouble carrying it out.Inevitably, world peace will arrive. That is our destiny. How we arrive at that ultimate destination is totally up to us. The Zohar says that we have two paths - The Path of Torment or the Path of Pleasantness. Sharing Zohars, giving Light, and accepting our responsibility in the world is how we choose the Path of Pleasantness.There are only a few precious opportunities when we can make a real difference in our lives and on a global level. This is one of them.

Zohar is a Hebrew word that means splendor. In its simplest form, the Zohar is a commentary on the Bible, structured as conversations among a group of friends, scholars, and spiritual masters. Although the wisdom available in its pages is older than Creation itself, the text of the Zohar was composed more than 2000 years ago. It was then that the great Kabbalist Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai revealed the Zohar to his student, Rabbi Abba who transcribed it in the ancient language of Aramaic. In the centuries that followed, the Zohar was often suppressed by religious and secular authorities who feared its power to transform the lives of those who gained access to the sacred writings. The sages of Kabbalah, too, realized that the Zohar must wait until humankind was ready to receive it.
