==== The Rebbe ====

During a yechidus with the Chief Rabbis of Israel, Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu and Rabbi Avraham Shapira which took place on 1 Kislev 5744 (1983), the Rebbe extensively praised the virtue and importance of studying the inner dimensions of Torah in general - and the Zohar in particular, expressing his desire that the rabbis issue a proclamation ("kol koreh") to study the book. Among the things said:<blockquote>'''Rabbi Shapira''': And there are also letters from Rabbi Kook z"l in which he mentions in strong terms the necessity and need to study Kabbalah, without which it is impossible to study Torah truthfully [similar to what the Rebbe mentioned about what the Vilna Gaon wrote in his commentary on the book of Proverbs, that without studying the wisdom of the hidden aspects - one cannot achieve understanding of the revealed] and he writes that through this we delay the redemption, etc.
