The Zohar, An Entrance To Spirituality - 5 Minutes Of Light

[jhaimsarvey]

The Halakha is simple - the answer is no you should not unless ... there is a slight potential or possibility that you will return (Teshuvah) and become a Jew. If you have a desire for the Zohar and the Torah most likely you were a Jew in past gilgulim and from this - the Torah states that 'converts must convert'. Please notice the Torah states that one is already a ger - convert. Converts are already 'converts' yet have to complete the process to formally accept - shomer Torah.

@jhaimsarvey - Judaism is a wonderful culture, but it is not the one and only 'all there is' to the desire for growth & positive change. The deluded idea of 'only my culture is good' is a sort of megalomania. Yisrael, I have learned is not a territory or a race but is an aspiration made of 2 Hebrew words -- Yeshir (straight to) & El (G-d). I may have misspelled the first one, but you know what I mean.

Keep it real.

Wasn't the Zohar written around 1400AD?

Scholarly views lean towards it being written by Moses de Leon (I think 15th century), while traditional views believe Rashbi (Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai) wrote it (2nd century).
