For thousands of years, no book has been more shrouded in mystery than theZohar, yet no book offers greater wisdom to humankind. As the central textof Kabbalah, the Zohar was conceived by the ancient kabbalists as a guidefor gaining fulfillment in the material world and for drawing closer tothe sacred light of the spiritual realm. In The Essential Zohar, theeminent kabbalist Rav P. S. Berg thoroughly fulfills this intention,interpreting the Zohar's teachings on evil, redemption, humanrelationships, wealth and poverty, and many other issues from a practical,contemporary perspective. The Zohar and Kabbalah have traditionally beenknown as the world's most esoteric sources of spiritual knowledge, but RavBerg has dedicated his life to making this wisdom universally available. Intruth, the Zohar came into being as a gift to all humanity. The EssentialZohar at last brings that gift to the world.
