I haven't been the same since i started to study the zohar. the light and fufillment so joyous no drug or anything in the material realm can deliver such a high. and it's wisdom and tools to rid of ego and end pain and suffering.

In writing a paper on the Qabbalah before the issuance of "The Zohar: Pritzker Edition" by Stanford University Press, I used this edition for my research. This edition is put out by "The Kabbalah Center", which is a fine organization for those who mind neither loose scholasticism in their learning about the Qabbalah nor the blending of New Age concepts therein, but for those who wish to learn of Sepher HaZohar through the purity of itself without the invasion of New Age ideas having nothing to do with traditional Qabbalah, then avoid the Kabbalah Center and this translation of The Zohar like the plague.
Aside from this, I did not like how this translation inserted interpretations into the main body of the text, rather than in foot-notes, as does the Pritzker Edition.

The only thing that can be said is , thank you so very much.
