The Zohar: Annotations to the Ashlag Commentary

by Michael Laitman

The Book of Zohar (The Book of Radiance) is an ageless source of wisdom and the basis for all Kabbalistic literature. Since its appearance nearly 2,000 years ago, it has been the primary, and often only, source used by Kabbalists.For centuries, Kabbalah was hidden from the public, which was considered not yet ready to receive it. However, our generation has been designated by Kabbalists as the first generation that is ready to grasp the concepts in The Zohar. Now, we can put these principles into practice in our lives. Written in a unique and metaphorical language, The Zohar: annotations to the Ashlag Commentary enriches our understanding of reality and expands our worldview. However, this text should not be read in an ordinary fashion. We should patiently and repeatedly read and think about each sentence as we try to penetrate the author's feelings. We should read it slowly and try to extract the nuances of the text. Although the text deals with one subject only how to relate to the Creator it approaches it from different angles. This allows each of us to find the particular phrase or word that will carry us into the depths of this profound and timeless wisdom

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.

Wonderful. Really complicated but so deep. Surprisingly it explains the Christianity also very well. There are some aspects that fit well with latest physic discoveries. For me, a great book. Very cryptic but Laitman explains it like a scientist.

Very dense! missing index and a structured glossary, 'Advanced' stuff! Start with, The Way of Kabbalah By Z'Ev Ben Shimon Halevi which is alot more grounded and leads nicely into this tome.

No vale la pena comprarle

Prácticamente es un engaño; no lo compren. No se entiende y le hace falta contenido. Esperaría más bien que me retornen el dinero.

very profound teachings; requires in-depth study, not just a simple reading! hard enough to understand all those details about the light in the spiritual realm.
