Sacred Tropes represents a pioneering, comparatist approach to Abrahamic studies. Bennett's artwork explores the symbolism and mysteries hidden within the ancient, sacred writings -- imparting new insights from the past that might provide us with meanings for today.
The reproductions are each full-page and in full-color. Stylistically, the work of Marc Chagall and Paul Klee were influences. The 77 monotypes prints where only a single copy of an image is made are combined with collage, gold leaf, pastel, and computer generated text.
The computer generated text which accompanies each monotype uses a font created by Bennett specifically for this artwork and is based on the ancient Phoenician alphabet which is foundational for all western alphabets. This book is sure to entertain, intrigue, and challenge the reader for many years to come. Study is a good basis, but is only the beginning of the road to understanding kabbalah. These are the best English translations of the Zohar available and are well worth the money.
The Wisdom of the Zohar boxed set by Tisby is also good, although less complete. Zohar Pritzker Edition , Daniel Matt. Wisdom of the Zohar , Isaiah Tishby. The Zohar, The Book of Splendor, is the foremost book of kabbalah. The book was compiled around by Moses de Leon, who claimed that was the mystical writings of Talmudic sage Rabbi Shimeon Bar Yochai c. E , student of the famous Rabbi Akiva.
The book contains mystical interpretations of the books of the Torah bible and many kabbalists believe it based on mystical traditions dating back to Moses or even earlier.
The Zohar is a maze for those who are uninitiated into the kabbalistic tradition. The book contains extremely strange and potentially incomprehensible stories. In most cases, references to God are rendered in gender neutral language. A special case in point: the unpro-nounceable four-letter name for the Divine, the Tetragammaton, is written in unvocalized Hebrew, conveying to the reader that the Name is something totally "other"-- beyond our speech and understanding.
Readers can choose to substitute for this unpronounceable Name any of the. The purpose of MATIS is to provide a Study Bible whereby each Hebrew word and its letters could be studied to obtain a deeper understanding of what the originators were trying to express. Charts are provided in the back of MATIS that break down both the potential meanings of the Hebrew letters and the Hebrew letter code used to translate the Hebrew.
MATIS also incorporates the popular Strong's numbering system for each word in the interlinear section with a complete Strong's Hebrew Dictionary to provide for more in depth study. All English words originally used in the KJV for deities have also been replaced with their original Hebrew words.
MATIS is also unique in regard to the Hebrew verses running in sequence from left to right with the English while the Hebrew individual words are written from right to left as originally written by the Sages for thousands of years. The word order the Hebrew verses are written is the exact order they were written originally except in reverse, which allows the verses to run parallel with the English.
This combination is also unique and makes it easier for beginners to study the Hebrew language in comparison to both the Hebrew and English translations. Izbicy is sometimes referred to as 'New Age Hasidism', a tribute to its radical modernity.

The period of Shovavim-Tat; the weeks from Parashas Shemos through Parashas Mishpatim during a Jewish leap year through Parashas Tetzavah , is considered a time for introspection that is particularly propitious for repentance. Some congregations recite Selichos, penitential prayers, on Mondays and Thursdays during these weeks. Among them are congregations that include the special Selichos for Children's Illnesses as part of the service. For the benefit of those congregatons, we present the text and translation of the prayer.
