I > like the one I've got. I've been asking around Yahoo Groups for about 8 months for a good translation of the Zohar. The only answers I've gotten have been around the Soncino. Even then, there was a bit of disappointment in the fact that it only covers something like 35% of the total text. My dream is to have the whole thing with some good commentary... I imagine that there probably will be no such version, and that I shall have to learn to read Hebrew fluently, but I can dream can't I? > I know I've got a translation of the bahir and of sephir > yetzirah by aryeh kaplan, but I can't remember who did > the zohar that I''ve got. Gotta love Kaplan. I'm involved right now with an e-mail list that is going through the Sepher Yetsirah book that Kaplan wrote. Lots of fun, and very informative. Kaplan's meditative approach is really good imo because he isn't breaking taboos by discussing the Practical Kabbalah, but he gives you the tools to make your own approach. I like innovating. > Lisa Always a pleasure chatting with you, Lisa -- Casey Sheldon ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary.
