“I see great importance to the completion of Rabbi Ashlag’s endeavors. I have always regretted the absence of a Hebrew translation to The Zohar. Indeed, the Bialik Institute published a partial translation, but it is appropriate that this book be in the hands of the Hebrew reader, who cannot understand the Aramaic, in its entirety. … this great book… occupies a very important position in the spiritual life of our people.”
