But there is no doubt at all that despite all the praise of the book of Zohar, there are things that have no value that cannot escape my attention. Perhaps the scribes who copied the book secretly added supplementary parts, coated with deceptive veils. The sun of Kabbalah does not shine on them, and they are called counterfeit Zohar. And when I say they are forged, I do not mean to say that they are completely invalid to be included in the congregation of God, like a counterfeit coin in absolute falsehood. God forbid that I should cease to teach about all that is found in it that is meritorious, according to the extent of my abilities.
