   Only edition of these kabbalistic homilies on the Torah by R. Judah Leibesch ben David Schiffman. The title page lists the sources of the discourses, naming the Maqggid Mesharim, Remazim Yakarim, Mayyim Amukim, Medavash Mesukim, Peshatim Meforaim, Meolephis Sapirim, Ve-Devarim Atikim, and Shevatim Mezukkim, derushim, hiddushim, kedoshim, and perushim. Zohar Torah is a commentary enlightening as the stars on the hamushei hamushim, arranged and ordered by R. Judah Leibesch Schiffman. It mentions his other works, namely, Derush ve-Kabgel Secar, Ne’ah Dorash, Imrei Binah, and Peri Ez Hayyim. The verso of the title page has a list of the discourses followed by a full page photograph of R. Schiffman, noting that he was born in Tiberius in 1870.
