The first biography of the Jewish poet and polemicist Sarra Copia Sulam situates her in the tradition of women's writing in Venice and explores her rise and fall as a public intellectual in the tumultuous world of the city's presses.

Laitman Kabbalah Publishers is proud to present the first volume of Zohar for All: The Book of Zohar with the Sulam Commentary. This new rendition of The Zohar offers an accessible and coherent explanation to the fundamental and primary composition in the wisdom of Kabbalah. The Sulam [Ladder] commentary is the most profound and elaborate commentary on The Book of Zohar, and was written by the greatest kabbalist of the 20th century, Rav Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag. Zohar for All smoothly merges the original text of The Zohar with the lucid explanations of Yehuda Ashlag to create a streamlined text that is both clear and true to the source.

" Zohar is a Hebrew word that means "splendor." In its simplest form, the Zohar is a commentary on the Bible, structured as conversations among a group of friends, scholars, and spiritual masters... the text of the Zohar was composed approximately 2000 years ago."--Brochure.

The first Jewish woman to leave her mark as a writer and intellectual, Sarra Copia Sulam (1600?–41) was doubly tainted in the eyes of early modern society by her religion and her gender. This remarkable woman, who until now has been relatively neglected by modern scholarship, was a unique figure in Italian cultural life, opening her home, in the Venetian ghetto, to Jews and Christians alike as a literary salon. For this bilingual edition, Don Harrán has collected all of Sulam’s previously scattered writings—letters, sonnets, a Manifesto—into a single volume. Harrán has also assembled all extant correspondence and poetry that was addressed to Sulam, as well as all known contemporary references to her, making them available to Anglophone readers for the first time. Featuring rich biographical and historical notes that place Sulam in her cultural context, this volume will provide readers with insight into the thought and creativity of a woman who dared to express herself in the male-dominated, overwhelmingly Catholic Venice of her time.
