One who has never seen the Light of&nbsp;<em>The&nbsp;<\/em><em>Zohar<\/em>, sweeter than honey, has never seen Lights in his life, and has never tasted the flavor of the Torah. Moreover, it purifies the soul and cleanses it. Even a mere utterance through the lips is a great remedy and correction for the soul. In particular, the book of corrections, which are the actual corrections of the soul from any flaw, blemish, and disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Rav Yitzhak Yehuda Yehiel Safrin of Komarno,<br>\u201cIntroduction to Atzei Eden [Trees of Eden]\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He should grow accustomed to studying in the Kabbalah, for reading the Kabbalah is a correction for this iniquity. This is why the Kabbalists were called \u201charvesters of the field,\u201d for they cut off all the&nbsp;<em>Klipot<\/em>&nbsp;[shells]. And the study of&nbsp;<em>The Book of Zohar&nbsp;<\/em>is part of that correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Horns of the Righteous<\/em>, Item 53<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five pages from the holy&nbsp;<em>Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;each day is a great benefit and a great correction for the soul, to illuminate, purify, and correct it. It heals and corrects the sins and transgressions of the soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>The Staff of Ephraim<\/em>, Item 516, Sub item 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interpreters wrote as follows: One who studies in the holy&nbsp;<em>Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;corrects the upper worlds, and one who studies in the corrections chases away the&nbsp;<em>Klipot<\/em>&nbsp;[shells] and corrects the world of&nbsp;<em>Assiya<\/em>. This is the reason why Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai established the holy book of&nbsp;<em>Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;in a great number and the book of corrections in a small number. This is the meaning of the words \u201cAnd God created the two great lights,\u201d implying to the holy book of&nbsp;<em>Zohar<\/em>&nbsp;and the book of corrections &#8230; Thus, studying in them is a great thing for correcting worlds in heaven and in the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">Rav Chaim Huri,<br><em>Mercy and Truth<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Baal Shem Tov says &#8230; Saying&nbsp;The Zohar&nbsp;is good for the soul.
