WHO AUTHORED THE ZOHAR?

 


讝讛专 Parshas 讜讬砖诇讞

WHO AUTHORED THE ZOHAR?

The 专诪" writes that he heard that
the 讝讛专 was authored* by 专砖讘"



There is a  诪讞诇讜拽转 转谞讗讬诐 if 讙讬讚 讛谞砖讛 is 诪讜转专 or
讗住讜专  讘讛谞讗讛 (benefit)

专' 讬讛讜讚讛 holds that it is 诪讜转专 and 专' 砖诪注讜谉** holds 
it is 讗住讜专 讘讛谞讗讛.

The 讘讬转 讬讜住祝 (Y.D. 65) writes, "that it is best
to refrain from having 讛谞讗讛 from the 讙讬讚 讛谞砖讛
because The 讝讛专 驻专砖转 讜讬砖诇讞 writes that 讙讬讚 讛谞砖讛 
is 讗住讜专 讘讛谞讗讛."
 
The 专诪" in 讚专讻讬 诪砖讛 writes, he heard "(砖诪注转讬)
 that the 诪讞讘专 of the 讝讛专 was 专' 砖诪注讜谉 (Bar Yochai)  
the same 专' 砖诪注讜谉 mentioned in ".
 
The 专诪" asks, If this is true, then why should
we care that the 讝讛专 holds that it is 讗住讜专 讘讛谞讗讛.

We have a rule, "讬 讜专"砖 讛诇讻讛 讻专"- wherever
there is a 诪讞诇讜拽转 between 专' 砖诪注讜谉 and 
专' 讬讛讜讚讛 the Halacha is like 专' 讬讛讜讚讛."

 
I find it puzzling if we assume the 讘讬转 讬讜住祝 also
held that the 讝讛专 is from 专砖讘". How can he
claim that we should follow R.Shimon's ruling in the
诪砖谞讛 because R. Shimon in 讝讛专 also agrees?

It's like saying that he is right because he
himself said so.

If we assume that the 讘讬转 讬讜住祝 wasn't aware
or didn't believe that 专砖讘" was the 诪讞讘专 of 
the 讝讛专 then this will solve both 拽讜砖讬讜转.

Assuming the " held the 讝讛专 was from 专砖讘"
then perhaps we can explain, the 讘讬转 讬讜住祝 means
to say, to be 诪讞诪讬专 because 注诇 驻讬 拽讘诇讛 (讝讛专)
it is 讗住讜专 讘讛谞讗讛.

According to this, we can answer the 拽讜砖讬讬转 讛专诪"

True, "驻 讛诇讻讛 it should be 诪讜转专 讘讛谞讗讛 because we
always Pasken like 专' 讬讛讜讚讛 against 专' 砖诪注讜谉.
However, since according to ***拽讘诇讛 (讝讛专), it
is 讗住讜专 讘讛谞讗讛 it's preferable to follow 专' 砖诪注讜谉 who
argues on 专' 讬讛讜讚讛
 
讗诪讘爪讬   


 * 专砖讘"could not have written
the Zohar- in his times
讚讘专讬诐 砖讘注诇 驻讛 讗讬 讗转讛 专砖讗讬 诇讻讜转讘谉

 **住转诐 专' 砖诪注讜谉 讛讜讗 专砖讘"

*** 注讬讬谉 诪"讘 住' 讻"讛 住"拽 诪"讘 讘砖诐 讛讻谞讛"讙
