In Hebrew is brought up deep feelings of prayer and connection.  In English it’s very interesting and I wanted to intellectualize it like solving a puzzle.

[John Caton]

The English version invoked an intellectual desire to understand the whole. The Hebrew version negated the intellectual desire to understand the whole. Rather, certain words were familiar and these invoked visualization of position on the Tree.

I felt desperate, that I will be stuck in this state forever, not understanding/attaining anything…

I feel a sense of structure of reality, when listening to both versions; however, with the Hebrew translation this sense began with physical sensations from my heart and spine and traveled throughout my body.

With the Hebrew version it is much easier for me to maintain my intention and listen with my heart 😁 which feels like relief!!

The English version was more difficult to overcome my will to receive, (desire for knowledge), for myself alone.

Very interesting 💖

Gratitude!!

I felt beauty and preferred listening in the Hebrew.

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t understand anything that was written. Everytime I read or listen to any parts of the Zohar I feel lost. It’s hard for me to feel inspired by it because I get frustrated that I do not understand. If the readers or teachers of the Zohar understand what’s written then why do they not give a translation of the text in their own words?
