Description: "There are numerous books written about Jewish mysticism, kabbalah, and the Zohar (Book of Radiance). The Zohar is written in code through the use of symbolism, euphemisms, figures of speech, ancient phraseology, and the Hebrew Bible or Tenakh. Tenakh is an acronym formed from the initial Hebrew letters of Masoretic Text's three traditional subdivisions (Torah - the Five Books of Moses, Nevi'im - Prophets, and Ketuvim - writings). Thanks to the incredible scholarship of Professor Daniel Matt from Berkeley California the codes of the Zohar have become more comprehensible to the inquisitive reader. It was because of Professor Matt's translation, explanations, and notes on the Zohar in his first seven volumes that I was moved to write this book. 'The Zohar is firmly rooted in tradition but thrives on discovery'"--back cover.
