Summary: A Must Have for a Kabbalistic Student
Comment: This is a text that is absolutely necessary for any in-depth study of Kabbalah. Besides the Zohar, this book is the next most influential text. Although the original author(s) is debated, its antiquity is unchallenged.

This particular rendition by Aryeh Kaplan has a huge commentary, that makes it accessible to even average students of the English speaking world. However, this book is definitely not for the casual reader, you really have to pay attention to details.

The book itself is broken down line by line and delves into the esoteric nature of the study of Kabbalah. This is one of the true practical Kabbalah manuals with its endless combinations and meditations, and workings of the mystical tree that all but the most advanced will find themselves re-reading paragraphs.

The addition of other versions makes this book a good one for the linguistic study of the text and is shown in the original Hebrew as well as English.

Summary: Invaluable spiritual guide
Comment: Whether you are a long time Kabbalist, or a Christian interested in the roots of your religion, this book is invaluable. Rabbi Kaplan writes about a daunting subject in an easy to understand style. I knew next to nothing about the mysteries of Kabbalah when I purchased this book, but now I understand most of the major Kabbalistic concepts. Do not pass this book up if you are interested in spirtual and mind expansion.

Summary: Must Have For Any Serious Student Of The Kabbalah
Comment: There is a lot of garbage that is printed on the various aspects of and subjects pertaining to Kabalistic thought and creation, but this is NOT one of them. Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan was a truly phenomenal man, worthy of praise from mystics, rabbis, and the curious alike. It is truly a wonderful coincidence for those lucky enough to meet or sit in on lectures with Rabbi Kaplan that he lived in the last century. Rabbi Kaplan made Kabala accessible to those whose only language is English. While I would recommend other books by this great man, I would also recommend, more than words can express, this work in particular. If you SERIOUSLY want to learn about the Kabalistic paths, this book is one of the best in English to help you along your journey, safely, and honestly. Good Luck!
