Detail Description

Idra Rabba ("The Greater Assembly"), a description of the gathering of R. Simeon b. Yoיai and his companions, in which the most profound mysteries are expounded concerning the revelation of the Divine in the form of Adam Kadmon ("Primordial Man"). It is of a superior literary construction and the most systematic discourse found in the Zohar. Each of the companions says his piece and R. Simeon b. Yoיai completes their pronouncements. At the end of this solemn assembly three of the ten participants meet with an ecstatic death. Among the early kabbalists it was called Idra de-Naso and it is printed in the portion Naso (3:127b–145a). It is, in a way, a kind of Talmud to the Mishnah of the Sifra di-Zeni'uta.

 

Hebrew Description

סדר אדרא רבא : ...לליל שבועות בק"ק [בקובץ קטן] להקל מעל הקורא: המו"ל יצחק ניסים מו’ רחמים.
