Zohar

The Zohar is a foundational text of Jewish mysticism, specifically Kabbalah, written in the 13th century. It is a poetic and symbolic commentary on the Torah (the Hebrew Bible), exploring divine mysteries, the nature of God, and the spiritual structure of the universe. The Zohar aims to reveal hidden spiritual meanings behind sacred texts, guiding readers toward deeper spiritual understanding and connection with the divine. Its style combines storytelling, allegory, and philosophical reflections, and it is studied by those seeking mystical insight within Judaism.
