A Brief Glance At the Zohar

The masterwork of Cabbala is the Zohar 
I took a glance at it today 
in the mystical bookstore near me -  Namaste 
What I read about was the importance of the Sabbath
I usually attend services Friday night at the Reform temple near me 
The presence of God can be found 
if you open your heart to it
The scoffers non withstanding 
the Sabbath brings peace and healing 
and is something to look forward to 
after the week's toil

I've read e versions of the Kabbala but, not the Zohar. You've inspired me to check it out; love the way you've penned this and yes, the Sabbath is healing. Well done.

You bought back many memories as I worked for several Jewish families and loved the sabbath and the rituals that went with it:-) hugs Jan x
