The Zohar by Moses de Leon (Attributed to Simeon Ben Yochai) 13th Century (Attributed to the 2nd Century)

from Classic Books in 30 Minutes: Western and World Literature for Busy People

Step into the shimmering heart of Jewish mysticism — a universe where every word of Torah hides infinite worlds of meaning. In this episode, we explore The Zohar, the 13th-century masterpiece that became the cornerstone of Kabbalah. Written in lyrical Aramaic and filled with symbols, secrets, and cosmic allegories, The Zohar reads like a spiritual dream — rabbis wandering through the night, uncovering divine sparks hidden in creation. We'll unpack how it reimagines God, the soul, and the universe as a living web of light and energy. Part scripture, part poetry, The Zohar is both a mystery to study and a mirror for anyone searching for the infinite within the ordinary.
