Tiqqune zohar

The Tiqqune Zohar is a 13th-century work of Jewish mysticism, or Kabbala, written primarily in Aramaic. It is considered an appendix to the Zohar, the classic text of Kabbala. The Tiqqune Zohar elaborates on the mystical interpretation of the first word of the Book of Genesis, "Bereshit" (In the beginning).12

The Zohar itself, and works like the Tiqqune Zohar, delve into the esoteric meaning of biblical texts, focusing on the 10 divine emanations (sefirot) that explain the creation and existence of the universe. These texts also explore themes such as the problem of evil and the cosmic significance of prayer and good deeds. While attributed to the 2nd-century sage Simeon ben Yoḥai, modern scholars believe Moses de León, a Spanish Kabbalist, was the primary author of the Zohar and its related works.12
