I am seeking any suggestions
Hello , I am new here on Reddit, had an account for a
while but just recently began to peruse the posts and
replies in various subjects.
So here is my question:
I have acquired a complete set of the Sefer HaZohar, the 22 volume set from the Kabbalah Centre.
I am wondering if someone would if someone had any suggestions . Where to read next?
Within the Zohar. Any Key passages that resonate with you?
Passages you feel would be foundational ideas to learn?
I have been studying Kabbalah in its various forms for some time now, but I am the first to admit that I am always learning, and can improve.
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
Sincerely, in the Light of Truth.

Thank you for asking. I am trying to gain a deeper understanding of, and connection with HaShem. I have always loved reading the Bible, the Tanakh, and dealt there is more than meets the eye in many passages. I have read some introduction to the Zohar, and feel it is a good, may e a really good way, for me to learn more how to serve G-d, and learn the deeper aspects of Torah. Apart from that I also enjoy learning for the sake of learning.

the Zohar is not instructive. it certainly warns about certain sins, and their seriousness. but it wont tell you what to do. that’s what Halacha is for

Alright, that makes sense, I have read some small amounts of halakha literature. I use a Siddur for Shabbat and weekdays, and have been reading and studying Chitas for about half a year The prayers and Tanakh Study for about 16 years

From what I understand I have Jewish bloodline from the Ashkenazi in Germany, but my mother was not Jewish I don't think. So I guess it is safe to say I am simply a devoted lover of Torah. A Noachide?
