Secrets of the Zohar: Stories and Meditations to Awaken the Heart

by Michael Berg

As the first person to translate the entire 23-volume Zohar from Aramaic into modern English, Michael Berg is uniquely qualified to convey its timeless wisdom to a wider audience. In these pages, Michael deciphers the encoded words of the ancient sages, organizing and explaining them in a way that is easily comprehensible. In Secrets of the Zohar, he presents the wisdom from this great book in both Aramaic and English, as according to Kabbalah’s greatest sages: The Light of the Creator is embodied in the Zohar’s very letters and words, and scanning the Zohar in the original language reveals Light. This unique compilation allows readers to draw on the Zohar’s full energy, by introducing some of the Zohar’s most important stories, thus empowering through an intellectual spiritual connection.

Es un libro espiritual, me gustó, pero si esperaba más de él

[Venkat Ramakrishnan]

A very nicely written composition of stories and meditation that's useful for every day lives. Really appreciate author's effort in compiling the important portions to be presented in a crisp form. Makes me curious and motivated towards exploring Zohar further, although Aramaic language understanding and comprehension might be a problem, but as the author says, it's a language of energy and not just meaning, so faith in the language and sayings might lead someone towards Light. Great effort!

Powerful meditations stories and thoughts

[Juan David]

Me gusto mucho, asombrosa sabiduría.

[Reyedit Arcols]

Es un magnífico libro para entender de qué va el Zohar. Pues tiene una explicación, el texto en español y en Arameo, y una meditación.

Diría que incluye todos los aspectos que uno necesita. Protección, librarse del miedo, etc

Pero aún así desearía mayor profundidad. Otro libro que ahonde más en las cosas más maravillosas. No sólo una breve explicación para de inmediato pasar a la sección del Zohar, que agradezco, pero que resulta a menudo difícil.

excelente libro

Grandes enseñanzas en estas cortas historias que nos explican en una forma muy superficial lo importante que es el libro del Zohar para nuestras vidas y para toda la creación más a sabiendas que están muy cerca los días maravillosos para todo aquel que busque al Único y Verdadero, Bendito Sea Su Nombre

[Renato Silva]

O livro contem passagens do Zohar, especialmente selecionadas por Michael Berg com diversas questões e situações que podem ser aplicadas a vida cotidiana, com muita sabedoria. O livro é um bom começo para os iniciantes no estudo do Zohar.

[Ana Laura Martínez Pereyra]

Bueno.

[Steve]

Zohar used in service of a "culty" organization. Read Daniel Matt and Gershom Scholem, and Moshe Idel if interested in the real thing.
