The Secret History of the Zohar

This concise history of the mystical book known to kabbalists as the Zohar is a virtual timeline showing its connection with great figures and events. The book addresses the myths surrounding this work, and covers who first revealed it, who wrote it down, and who studied it: prominent minds from Plato to the Knights Templar, to Sir Isaac Newton and present-day movers and shakers. Scholar Michael Berg clearly demonstrates that the Zohar and Kabbalah have had a profound influence on all the major disciplines, from literature and art to medicine and science.

The Zohar’s secrets have never been revealed quite as they are here in these pages, which decipher the codes behind the words of the ancient sages, and show how every person can apply the wisdom of Kabbalah to make their life infinitely better.

Michael Berg, renowned scholar and editor of the first-ever complete English translation of the 23-volume Zohar, interprets its “best” stories, and offers a special meditation for each one. The original Aramaic letters and words are included, to scan and to read aloud. (According to the greatest sages of Kabbalah, The Light of the Creator is embodied in the Zohar’s very letters and words. Scanning it in the original Aramaic is as important as reading its translation and understanding its relevance to daily life.)

Each chapter begins with a clear explanation of what follows it: a particular portion of the Zohar that presents wisdom to address many of life’s challenges—fears, the need for inspiration, the search for a soulmate, the purpose of spiritual work—all presented side by side in both Aramaic and its English translation.

Secrets of the Zohar features the most essential passages from the 23-volume Zohar set. This unique presentation allows readers to draw on the Zohar’s full energy to achieve true spiritual transformation, joy and fulfillment -- beginning right now.

ZOHAR SCHOLAR
Michael Berg

Michael Berg was the first person ever to translate the complete 23-volume Zohar from ancient Aramaic into English, a monumental task which he began at the age of 18 and finished ten years later. This profound text is the very core of kabbalistic thought.

Michael is a scholar, teacher and best-selling author who has developed a worldwide following with such books as Becoming like God, Well of Life, The Secret, and The Way. As co-director of Kabbalah Centre International, he continues the tradition started by his father (the eminent kabbalist Rav Berg) of condensing and simplifying this profound wisdom.

The Zohar
(23 vol. set in English)

Zohar is a Hebrew word that means splendor. In its simplest form, the Zohar is a commentary on the Bible, structured as conversations among a group of friends, scholars, and spiritual masters. Although the wisdom available in its pages is older than Creation itself, the text of the Zohar was composed approximately 2000 years ago. In the centuries that followed, the Zohar was often suppressed by religious and secular authorities who feared its power to transform the lives of those who gained access to the sacred writings. The sages of Kabbalah also realized that the Zohar must wait until humankind was ready to receive it.

Through this translation by Michael Berg, we discover the Zohar deals very directly with concepts of reincarnation, visionary experiences, and the presence of unseen influences in our midst. Today we are able to accept these ideas that were once perceived as inexplicable mysticism or dangerous sorcery. We have the capacity to understand the Zohar’s true teachings. This is a difficult experience to describe, but by bringing the Zohar into your life, you will discover its meaning for yourself and receive its soul.
