Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Most Complete English Zohar
Review: The Zohar is the most important text of the Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. Though there are many partial translations available, this is the most comprehensive. In 5 volumes, the authors translate about 35% of the full text of the Zohar. It only translates the main core of the Zohar, the part that interprets the Bible. The rest of the books of the Zohar are omitted. Sometimes the translation seems to be inaccurate, and notes are very sparse, so a good knowledge of Kabbalah is recommended. Comes with introduction, glossary, and explanatory essays. A good buy if you're interested in Kabbalah.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It's most probably not for you.
Review: This is an esoteric text of jewish mysticism. The vast majority of the book is simply an interpretation of the bible. It's maybe the most obscure book I've ever encountered. For most people, the "mysteries of the Zohar" are simply inaccessible, period.
