Enrichment Books – Shimon Knoll
Throughout his musical undertaking, he also wrote his commentary on the Bible, including Pardes, which focuses on the occult. And like his musical performances and records, he publishes his commentary in books, while raising money to cover the many costs. Over the decades he published the books “The Secret of Melody", "New Souls," "Testament of the King," "Secrets of the Breastplate", "And Moses Assembled" and the “Book of Redemption". Since his return to Israel he has concentrated on writing his commentary of the Book of Zohar, eventually publishing it in the year 5775 (2014) in four volumes titled "Knowledgeable Zohar". His less religious books, such as "Ancient Sable" and “Menachem’s Testament”, discuss science and research on astrophysics, the brain, emotion, love, and sustainability, making his information and messages accessible to the younger generation and secular people who are attracted to science-fiction literature
And just as he integrated the art of music in his life with the rest of the arts, thus his literature attempts to penetrate into the world of cinema. He is currently planting the seeds in this wonderful creative medium…
