Sefer ha-Zohar (The Book of Radiance) has captivated readers ever
since it emerged in Spain over seven hundred years ago. Written in
a lyrical Aramaic, the Zohar, a masterpiece of Kabbalah, features
mystical interpretation of the Torah, rabbinic tradition, and
Jewish practice. Volume 11 comprises a collection of different
genres within the Zoharic library. The fragmentary Midrash
ha-Ne'lam on Song of Songs opens with its treatment of mystical
kissing. Highlights of Midrash ha-Ne'lam on Ruth are the spiritual
function of the Kaddish prayer, the story of the ten martyrs, and
mystical eating practices. In Midrash ha-Ne'lam on Lamentations,
the inhabitants of Babylon and the inhabitants of Jerusalem vie to
eulogize a ruined Jerusalem. It reframes the notion of a Holy
Family in Jewish terms, in implicit contrast to the Christian triad
of Father, Mother, and Son. The Zohar on Song of Songs consists of
dueling homilies between Rabbi Shim'on bar Yohai and the prophet
Elijah, contrasting spiritual ascent with the presence of the
demonic. The climax projects the eros of the Song of Songs onto the
celestial letters that constitute the core of existence. Matnitin
and Tosefta are dense, compact passages in which heavenly heralds
chide humanity for its spiritual slumber, rousing people to learn
the mysteries of holiness. Packed with neologisms and hortatory in
tone, these passages are spurs to pietistic devotion and mystical
insight.
