TIKKUNEI ZOHAR – COMPLETE ENGLISH EDITION

What is Tikkunei Zohar? In the Jewish Kabbalistic tradition, Tikkunei Zohar is among the foundational works devoted to the secrets of the Torah (sod). Its title evokes tikkunim, spiritual rectifications or orderings, and the seventy faces of the Torah unfolded through interpretations of Bereshit, “In the beginning.” Tradition attributes its teachings to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his companions, who discern in the letters of Scripture the paths of the Divine Presence and redemption. More than a book of symbols, it calls the reader to tikkun: restoring the bond between the Holy One, blessed be He, and the Shekhinah through Torah study, prayer (tefillah), intention (kavvanah), and the observance of mitzvot. Rectification is not an isolated technique, but part of Jewish religious life and the sanctification of the world. Its teachings explore the sefirot, Divine Names, gematria, the exile of the Shekhinah, the soul, and mysteries of Creation, in dialogue with the Talmud, Mishnah, and Midrash. This bilingual edition presents the original Aramaic and Hebrew alongside an English translation, with notes clarifying key terms, rabbinic sources, and interpretations of letters. The base text follows the Mantua edition of 1558, collated with Amsterdam 1706 and manuscript Vat. ebr. 204 (1551). For readers drawn to the Zohar, Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism, and the inner wisdom of Torah, Tikkunei Zohar offers a demanding yet essential encounter with the tradition of tikkun and redemption.
