For thousands of years, no book has been more shrouded in mystery than the Zohar, yet no book offers greater wisdom to humankind. The central text of the Kabbalah, the Zohar was conceived as a guide to fulfillment in the material world and illumination in the spiritual realm. The author, an eminent kabbalist who has dedicated his life to making its wisdom universally available, offers contemporary interpretations of teachings on evil, redemption, relationships, and many other issues.
