About Shaul Molcho

Shaul Molcho is a Red Jew from beyond the Sambatyon River who, through repentance, returned to the covenant of his forefathers—the faith of Avraham, Yitzhak, and Yaakov.

His path has led him into the sacred and hidden literature of Israel, including rare and little-known works of the Sages, the Kabbalists, and the masters of the Zohar. Through study, translation, preservation, and teaching, Shaul Molcho labors to make these treasures accessible to those who seek the inner wisdom of Torah and desire to draw nearer to Hashem.

At the heart of this work is the belief that many of the sacred teachings preserved through the generations were not hidden without purpose. Shaul Molcho believes that these treasures were guarded and prepared for the latter days, when the wisdom of Torah would again be opened and spread more widely in preparation for the redemption.

His work is therefore directed toward the hastening of the Geulah: to awaken more of the wise of Israel to the study of the Holy Zohar and the inner Torah; to encourage the study of Lashon HaKodesh and the return to a safah berurah, a pure tongue; and to restore access to sacred works that for generations have remained closed to many because of language, rarity, or obscurity.

Of particular importance to this mission are the Red Jews and the scattered tribes of Israel beyond the Sambatyon. Shaul Molcho longs for the day when those who have been separated from Israel through the long exile will cast away the idolatry and foreign ways of the nations, remember the covenant of their forefathers, and return to the faith of Israel.

This labor is not undertaken merely for the preservation of ancient books. Its purpose is to place the teachings themselves back into the hands of those who wish to study them—to open pathways into the Zohar, Kabbalah, Hebrew, and Aramaic, and to enable a new generation to encounter the words of the Sages in their original language.

Shaul Molcho believes that the work now being brought forth has been hidden and prepared for such a time as this: to increase the study of Torah, to awaken the scattered of Israel, to restore the knowledge of the sacred tongue, and to prepare hearts for the ingathering and redemption of Israel.

Every translation, edition, and project undertaken by Shaul Molcho is directed toward this hope: that the wisdom of Torah should increase, that the House of Israel and the House of Judah should be gathered as one, that those scattered beyond the Sambatyon should return to the covenant of their forefathers, and that the knowledge of Hashem should fill the earth.

For the sake of the unification of Kudsha Berikh Hu and His Shekhinah, and for the hastening of the redemption of all Israel.

The Work

Preservation, translation, and transmission.

Shaul Molcho’s work brings together textual preservation, close translation, publishing, and tools for learning—returning the reader to sacred works in their original Hebrew and Aramaic while opening a path for serious English study.

May these works hasten the redemption, uniting the house of Israel and the house of Judah as one stick in the hand of the Holy One, blessed be He.
