The Zohar

The Zohar is a foundational work of Jewish mysticism, specifically Kabbalah, written in the late 13th century by the Spanish rabbi Moshe de Leon. It is a mystical commentary on the Torah, blending narrative, philosophy, and mystical thought. The Zohar explores the nature of divine reality, the soul, and the relationship between God and humanity, emphasizing themes like the unity of creation and the process of spiritual ascent. Its poetic and allegorical style seeks to unveil hidden meanings within the sacred texts, making it a central text for those interested in Jewish spiritual and mystical traditions.
