So does it mean i have to read the Tanakh first and then read the Zohar? or is it that a non-jew is not supposed to learn about it?


 a non-jew is not supposed to learn about the zohar.

basics about judaism are fine.. The books Lisa mentioned.

I think its very hard to enforce rules like that on non Jews. If the books are available people will look into them if they are interested in learning what they contain.

Listen.  He wants to know what judaism says

He is not asking if it's ok. He is asking if judaism says it's ok. That's what he means.

It is not enforcing rules.

It is not enforcing rules any more than you asking me if (according to judaism) you are allowed to be an atheist or do certain things, and me telling you that according to judaism, all people in the world should believe in G-d and shouldn't commit certain sins. Just like christianity also makes claims as to what all people should believe.


Tzvi Ben Roshel1:
If it is a book you would like then maybe get the book "Beyond a reasonable doubt" By Rabbi Shmuel Waldman.

Tzvi did it again.

Just listen to Lisa and ignore everybody else.

I am not going into why. Not again.

 I did nothing wrong. He asked for good book and for suggestions , and I gave him. I am confident that Halahically it is okay and actually good for him to read this type of book. Please tell me what is wrong (Halahically) with my suggestion (to his question)?
