Reconciles the conflict between these two seemingly diverse traditions.
From the corridors of Jewish history, this unique book unravels the discussions surrounding the authenticity of the Zohar and the profound role of Kabbalah in Jewish thought and practice. For the first time, we present an exclusive compilation of thought-provoking letters, painstakingly translated into English. Penned by four eminent Jewish leaders - Rabbi Abraham Yitzhak Kook, Rabbi Yihye Qafih, Rabbi Eliyahu Benamozegh, and Shadal - these letters provide us with an entrancing exploration into the differing perspectives, doctinres, and ideologies of two contrasting yet traditional schools of Jewish thought.
