Finally experience it for yourself, this time for real.
You already know or guessed the benefits, but going it alone can be tough (hard to pronounce, the parsha division is very long), so the organizers came up with a brilliant new concept.
To inspire and create a sense of mutual obligation, you join a group of 87 Jews doing different pages, altogether completing the entire corpus monthly. Or you can do a daily Amud, finishing every two months. Complete your personal cycle of the whole Zohar every few years!
If you don’t own a set of Zohar, you can receive small booklets at cost price every month.
Don’t overthink this. It’s Zohar, so plain reading is fine, too (if not preferable). It can’t hurt, right?
