Zohar: English with Commentary (Revised) | Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai, Shimon Bar Yohai, Rav Yehuda Ashlag
The Zohar is more than 2000 years old, but until very recently it was kept almost entirely hidden from the world, withheld out of fear that its power would be misused. For thousands of years, kabbalists have taught that the physical presence of the Zohar brought protection from harm. Looked at strictly as a work of spiritual wisdom, the Zohar is both an exploration and an explanation of every aspect of our physical and spiritual universe, and the connections that exists between them. Yet the real benefit of the Zohar in our daily lives is the energy imbued within each letter, each word, and each phrase.
