Kabbalah (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780874414912)

On the surface, Torah is history, prophecy, story, ordinance, rules of conduct, and philosophy. If that were all, says the Zohar, it would be no more than a book. The work of the mystics is to uncover the mystery behind the words. In the first part of this mini-course, Harry Gersh details what mysticism is and how it developed through the ages. The second part brings us face to face with 10 primary mystical sources, drawn mainly from the Zohar, which challenge and enlighten. Discussion questions and suggestions for further study accompany each chapter.
