Imitations of the Mishnaic style, designed to introduce longer commentaries in the style of the Talmud. n. Zohar to the Song of Songs Kabbalistic commentary to the Song of Songs. o. Standard of Measure (קו המידה) Profound interpretation of Deut. 6:4. p. Secrets of Letters (סתרי אותיות) A monologue by ben Yochai on the letters in the names of God and their use in creation. q. Commentary to the Merkabah r. Mystical Midrash (מדרש הנעלם) A Kabbalistic commentary on the Torah, citing a wide variety of Talmudic sages. According to Ramaz, it is fit to be called Midrash haNe'elam because "its topic is mostly the neshamah (an upper level of soul), the source of which is in Beri'ah, which is the place of the upper Gan Eden; and it is written in the Pardes that drash is in Beri'ah... and the revealed midrash is the secret of externality, and Midrash haNe'elam is the secret of internality, which is the neshamah. And this derush is founded on the neshamah; its name befits it – Midrash haNe'elam. The language of Midrash haNe'elam is sometimes Hebrew, sometimes Aramaic, and sometimes both mixed. Unlike the body of the Zohar, its drashas are short and not long. Also, the topics it discusses — the work of Creation, the nature the soul, the days of Mashiach, and Olam Haba — are not of the type found in the Zohar, which are the nature of God, the emanation of worlds, the "forces" of evil, and more. s. Mystic Midrash on Ruth A commentary on The Book of Ruth in the same style. t. Faithful Shepherd (רעיא מהימנא)By far the largest "book" included in the Zohar, this is a Kabbalistic commentary on Moses' teachings revealed to ben Yochai and his friends. Moshe Cordovero said, "Know that this book, which is called Ra'aya Meheimna, which ben Yochai made with the tzadikim who are in Gan Eden, was a repair of the Shekhinah, and an aid and support for it in the exile, for there is no aid or support for the Shekhinah besides the secrets of the Torah... And everything that he says here of the secrets and the concepts—it is all with the intention of unifying the Shekhinah and aiding it during the exile. u. Rectifications of the Zohar (תקוני זוהר) Tikunei haZohar, which was printed as a separate book, includes seventy commentaries called "Tikunim" (lit. Repairs) and
