To Whom Qabala May Concern — The Authenticity of the Zohar –Update 02

Rabbi David Bar-Hayim 28-02-65 │ 20-05-2012

Shavu’a Tov. And a meaningful Yom G’ulath Y’rushalayim.

I wish to recommend a series of lectures by Rabbi Alan Brill entitled “Introduction to the Kabbalah”, which can be found at http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/712013/Rabbi_Alan_Brill/Introduction_to_the_Kabbalah_01. This link was sent by a reader – whom I thank – in the wake of my recent post “Response to a reader regarding Qabala and the Zohar”.

I cannot vouch for the entire series of over 20 lectures. I can tell you, however, that I listened to the first lecture, and my impression is that this series may be helpful to many seeking to come to grips with and reach their own conclusions regarding Qabala, the Zohar and related issues.
