“Patach Eliyahu” is a short and sweet passage of Zohar on the greatness and unity of G-d. Some are accustomed to recite it before every prayer. Although most of us can’t understand these ideas in full, the religious impression is intense, giving us at least a taste of the “Knowledge that we don’t know”.
Here’s a beautiful interlinear rendering of this Kabbalistic text in inspiring English, by a new institute aiming to translate the entire Zohar into English. The English is okay, and the translators are actually religious. Q: How common is that? A: It is not! [Disclosure: I know some of the people involved.]
