Page "Zohar" Paragraph 61

The book Ra ` aya Meheimna, the title of which means " The Faithful Shepherd ," and which is by far the largest " book " included in the book of the Zohar, is what Moshe, the " Faithful Shepherd ," teaches and reveals to Rashbi and his friends, who include Tannaim and Amoraim.

In this assembly of Holy Friends, which took place in the Beit Midrash of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, secrets of and revelations on mitzvot of the Torah are explained and clarified — roots and deep meanings of mitzvot.

Since it deals with mitzvot, from Ra ` aya Meheimna it is possible to learn very much about the ways of the halakhic rulings of the Rabbis.
