The Zohar, Pritzker edition
The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Vol. 1 by Daniel Chanan Matt My rating: 4 of 5 stars As a Hebrew student, but non-native reader, I found the Pritzker edition of the Zohar to be the best I’ve read. The Zohar is a work of vast depth, however, and this edition did not substitute for a lack of knowing the allegorical subtleties of gematria. I’m sure the editors sought a balance regarding the amount of footnote material presented, give that this edition is 75% notes and 25% content. Readers not familiar with the verse of Torah upon with the Zohar is commenting will need a bible beside them to keep the flow of the original, and contextualize the commentary. I think this is the most voluminous rendering of the Zohar’s light to-date. View all my reviews
