Readings in the Zohar

Catalog description

Taught by GTU. We will explore the Zohar's mystical interpretation of the Torah. Major themes includes: the sefirot (facets of the divine personality), Shekhinah (the feminine aspect of God), and the various levels of meaning of the biblical text (literal, midrashic and esoteric). The selections from the Zohar will be studied in English, based on one volume of The Zohar: Pritzker Edition. Reference will also be made to the original Aramaic and Hebrew.
