The Zohar, an arcane commentary on the Hebrew Bible, is the central work of the Kabbalah. The Zohar's ideas were interpreted by the mystics of the Galilee hill-town of Safed in the sixteenth century. The amalgam of the Zohar's teachings and the latter interpretations formed the basis of classical Jewish mysticism. This study serves as a companion to the Zohar and its implementation by the Safed mystics as the basis of the kabbalistic mythos.
