If you could reply (and yes, I am the one who posted the first comment), that would be great, because you have an incredibly interesting blog, and I'd love to be able to comment on future posts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-86370478265562261982010-05-30T05:43:34.302-04:002010-05-30T05:43:34.302-04:00hi.

If you really believe the entire Sefer HaZohar to be a forgery by R' Moshe de Leon (and therefore not at all authentic, i.e. written by Rashb"i), why did you devote an entire post to "rescuing" it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
