May they begin to teach the holy Book of Zohar to children when they are still small, ages nine or ten, as it was written by the great Kabbalist… and redemption would certainly come soon, without any labor pains of the Messiah. And Rabbi Shem Tov had already written in The Book of Faiths that Judah and Israel will be redeemed forever only by the wisdom of Kabbalah, since only this is a Godly wisdom, given to the sages of Israel since days and years of old. And by its merit will the glory of God and the glory of His Sacred Law be revealed.
