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 within which it
is swathed."
