15) Furthermore, Rabbi Ravad brought additional statements of our master (Maran) in his work "Beit Yosef," expressing caution regarding the words of the Zohar in a context not mentioned in the Talmud, contrary to its teachings. The Rama (Rabbi Moshe Isserles, of blessed memory) wrote about this that even though his words are not mentioned in the Talmud, they are not considered binding according to the rulings of the halakhic authorities, and there is no need to be concerned with the words of the Zohar in this matter.
Declare from now on that the words of the halakhic authorities mentioned in the response of Rabbi Ravad, which include Maran (Rabbi Joseph Caro) of blessed memory, Moram (Rabbi Moses Isserles), the Radbaz (Rabbi David ben Solomon ibn Abi Zimra), the Keneged Gidon (Rabbi Gideon ben Abraham Gershon), Mahar"i Halevi, like Mahar"sh Halevi, Rabbi Elijah Halevi, HaRama Elqabuli, R"t ben Yachya, Rabbi Chak Yaakov, Maharashal, and Mahar"m Elshakar, who state that there is no need to be concerned with the words of the Zohar and the Kabbalists, as it contradicts the Mishnah, Talmud, and even individual halakhic authorities.
Behold, from this you have proven to yourself that you have written something that is a complete fabrication and utter foolishness. Your words are baseless and completely devoid of any truth.
