A magisterial, modern reading of the deepest mysteries in the Kabbalistic tradition. 'Seekers of the Face' opens the profound treasure house at the heart of Judaism's most important mystical work: the Idra Rabba (Great Gathering) of the Zohar. This is the story of the Great Assembly of mystics called to order by the master teacher and hero of the Zohar, Rabbi Shim'on bar Yochai, to align the divine faces and to heal Jewish religion. The Idra Rabba demands a radical expansion of the religious worldview, as it reveals God's faces and bodies in daring, anthropomorphic language. Melila Hellner-Eshed makes this challenging, esoteric masterpiece meaningful for everyday readers.
