Title: Yaacov, Torah Zionist: Your question on Ask JTF April 6 thread
Post by: Kahane-Was-Right BT on March 30, 2008, 04:56:19 AM

Aren't you confusing "the zohar" with "kaballah?"  You asked why Chaim said the Zohar was written a few hundred years ago and then went into a big thing about Adam and Yaakov etc receiving prophesy (and presumably kaballah/Torah secrets).  But the Zohar is an actual text that indeed was written at a certain date.  It contains kaballah, but why do you presume that the full extent of kaballah is limited to what is written in the text the zohar?
