Margalya Press is excited to announce that two volumes of the Tiqqunei ha-Zohar Margalya annotated English translation have been released on Sefaria, making this groundbreaking work available to a global audience.
Margalya Press has partnered with Sefaria to enable the inclusion of Tiqqunei ha-Zohar Margalya to be offered among its collection (under a Creative Commons licence). As a result, TZM will be available for free online.
Further volumes will be released over the next few months in the lead-up to the publication of the physical edition.
OUR SUGGESTION FOR HOW TO READ TZM ON SEFARIA
Sefaria offers its readers many ways options for accessing its texts. We have wandered through the various options and believe the best way to view the Tiqqunei ha-Zohar Margalya is in a parallel mirrored format. To read it this way, please follow these steps:
-
Visit https://www.sefaria.org/
texts - Go to the 'Browse the Library' section and select 'Kabbalah'
- Scroll down to the 'Zohar' section and select 'Tikkunei Zohar'
- In the 'Contents' section, select the box numbered '1' under 'Tikkunim'
- Scroll back to find the beginning of Tiqqun 17a, "Another Introduction to Tiqqunei ha-Zohar"
- Click the 'A' icon beside the title header (where it says 'Tikkunei Zohar 17b and Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024') and:
- Under 'Language', select 'Aא'
- Under 'Bilingual Layout', click the middle option with languages side-by-side
- Under 'Font Size' choose the largest option
- Return to the text, read through and enjoy!
As you browse the translation, click the icons to reveal sephirotic references, transliterations, Gematria, and Talmudic/kabbalistic referencing. The Sefaria release showcases the depth of the annotated translation.
We are thrilled that Sefaria has so cleverly reproduced the multi-layered presentation of the print edition in this beautiful online format.
WHY WE RECOMMEND BUYING THE PRINT EDITION
While Margalya Press is thrilled that anyone, regardless of location or income, will have access to the TZM translation, it believes that no online publication will match the multi-sensual experience of having the physical publication in hand.
The Tiqqunei ha-Zohar Margalya physical edition is a thing of beauty and value that would grace the shelves of any serious home or institutional Jewish library.
We believe that the TZM seven-volume set is an important and desirable acquisition for people who appreciate Jewish texts and are in a position to invest in them.
A Stunning Production
TZM will come as seven elegant lay-flat hardcover volumes, with removable dust jackets, designed to enhance a reader's ability to study the text.
Internally, the pages have been carefully designed to maximise accessibility and create a pleasing aesthetic experience. The bilingual translation, presented on facing pages - with English on the left and Aramaic on the right – is clear, uncluttered, and beautiful.
Premium Features
The TZM set contains premium features exclusive to the seven-volume bilingual printed edition, including:
- An extensive overview essay of the text and its translation by David Solomon, translator and editor of TZM, provided in volume 1 of the set.
- As an English translation of the 1740 Constantinople edition, TZM also includes translations of the introductory pages and haskamot (rabbinical approvals) found within the original edition.
We encourage anyone interested in this translation who has the means, to buy a set and place it proudly on their bookshelf. We are convinced that they will be glad they have done so.
Every purchase of publications like the Tiqqunei ha-Zohar Margalya helps to ensure the continuation of innovative Jewish publishing. By buying a set of TZM, you are supporting Margalya Press to produce more remarkable books.
