"The Zohar is not a book but a phenomenon."
David's second lecture in his series, A Kabbalistic Journey Through Time, explores the extraordinary ideas and contributions of the:
Zohar,
Tikkunei HaZohar,
and Sefer ha-Temunah.
In his discussion of the Zohar, David examines its dynamic interpretation of the Torah and how it applies this interpretation to the structure of the sefirot. He also looks at the way the Zohar explores the cosmic links between G-d, Israel, creation, and history.
The Tikkunei HaZohar, David explains, is concerned with the Divine presence in the various domains of the universe as well as in exile. Among other things, he considers the Tikkunei HaZohar's discussion of the feminine Divine presence - the Shekhinah - and Her quest to find unity and completion with Her male counterpart, the blessed Holy One.
The final text David examines is Sefer HaTemunah, which is predominantly concerned with the Divine in time. All things emanate from G-d and return to Him, David explains, and time is divided into cosmic cycles.
In discussing these three important texts, David provides the historical and cultural background to their emergence in Jewish history and their impact on mystical thinking. He also shows his audience the size and presentation of the books and discusses their availability for interested readers - in English, Hebrew, and Aramaic.

Happy learning, Marjorie Solomon
Am in Nigeria, how can I get the collections you've talked about. I don't mean free. Any means to get like a curriculum to grow in my kabbalah studies. Kindly advice. Thanks so much
@@chukwudinwangwu3458 Hello! It might be best to email me at info@inonehour.net and I will see if we can help you compile a reading list. Thanks, Marjorie Solomon
Thank you for a brilliant teaching
Beautiful insight into The Zohar and kaballa. The concept of Shenkina and the masculine and feminine aspects of creation is rarely taught outside the Zohar. I am so grateful for Mr. Solomon for sharing his understanding of these sacred texts.
We're so glad you enjoyed the lecture. Regards, Marjorie Solomon
I love this talk. I cannot believe that I had no idea there was such a competent Kabbalistic exegete and master of hermaneutics in Australia

...thank You....
You're welcome! Regards, Marjorie Solomon
Do you feel a power in owning a copy of the Zohar and if so would you get the Aramaic version for it is the original?
I'll have to check this with David and get back to you. Regards, Marjorie Solomon
