Mystic Tales from the Zohar Hardcover - 1997

by Wineman, Rabbi Aryeh

  • Used

The Zohar, composed in the late 13th century, is the central text of Jewish mystical tradition. Woven into its series of homilies on the Torah are many stories and parables. This work translates eight of the most interesting and well-developed narratives found in the Zohar, together with notes and detailed commentary. The richness of the Zohar narrative comes alive in Wineman's translations from the medieval Aramaic and in his analysis of the stories. The papercuts by artist Diane Palley express the beauty, mysticism and complexity of these texts.
