Ratings and reviews

The Zohar is truly a gift to mankind, Dr. Laitman has provided access for all of us to the wisdom of Kabbalah. He has made understanding the difficult concepts of partzufim, sefirot, receiving and giving, etc. easy to grasp. The Zohar is a book to be relished as a precious opening into the spiritual worlds for each of us as we explore the many layers of wisdom and apply them to our lives. For anyone seeking an authentic perspective on Kabbalah, Dr. Michael Laitman explains each of the unfamiliar words and expressions that appear in the book. He includes translations of the Aramaic and his own explanations throughout the text. All of which serves to make this ancient text comprehensible to everyone.

The Zohar is unlike other books. It’s meaning cannot be penetrated by merely reading it. And yet it contains all the wisdom and glory of Creation. In our present time we are most fortunate to have Rav Michael Laitman open the mystery of how to use this book. He is doing so with live lessons on the internet. By itself the Zohar is at best a curiosity. But combine this book with a teacher who truly understands it and then the Zohar is Life itself.

Very good
