Question: How do texts like The Book of Zohar [1] and Shamati [2] work and influence me when I read them together with others, and how do they influence me if I read them alone? And which is preferable?
Answer: In both cases the Ohr Makif (Surrounding Light) is awakened; we must read them both alone and together, but it is more effective to read them together.
Question: Which particular prayers are worthwhile for me to read before going to sleep so that sleeping will open me spiritually?
