Mystic Tales from the Zohar by Aryeh Wineman
Zohar, or 'brilliant light,' is the central text of Kabbalah. In Jewish mystical tradition, it is the meeting of midrash (storytelling that expands on events in the Bible) and myth. This selection offers translations of eight of the well developed narratives in the Zohar along with notes and detailed commentary.
There has been a recent upsurge of interest in Jewish mysticism, and the material in this book, while scholarly, can be readily understood by interested lay readers--Library Journal
Aryeh Wineman is a Rabbi at Temple Beth-El in Troy, New York.
