Baal HaSulam spent his entire life interpreting the wisdom of Kabbalah, innovating and spreading it throughout Israel and the world at large. He adapted the Ari\u2019s Lurianic Kabbalah to our generation, and in doing so enabled everyone to study the roots of the reality in which we live, and thus perceive life\u2019s ultimate purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Baal HaSulam was born when the world was ready to know about Kabbalah, his writings carry a distinct \u201cmultinational\u201d nature. He predicted processes such as the fall of Russia\u2019s communism and globalization long before they became evident to the rest of us, and presented them in context with humanity\u2019s spiritual correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baal HaSulam was born in Warsaw, Poland and studied Kabbalah with Rabbi Yehoshua of Porsov. In 1921, he immigrated with his family to Israel (which was then called Palestine) and settled in the Old City of Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rumor of his arrival quickly spread throughout the city and he soon became known for his knowledge in Kabbalah. Gradually, a group of students formed around him, who would arrive at his home in the wee hours of the night to study Kabbalah. Subsequently, Baal HaSulam moved from the Old City of Jerusalem to another Jerusalem neighborhood, Givat Shaul, where he served as the neighborhood rabbi for several years.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His Major Works<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>His two principal works, the fruit of long years of labor, are&nbsp;<em>The Study of the Ten Sefirot<\/em>, based on the writings of the Ari, and&nbsp;<em>The Book of&nbsp;<\/em><em>Zohar with the Sulam (Ladder) Commentary<\/em>. The publication of the sixteen parts of&nbsp;<em>The Study of the Ten Sefirot&nbsp;<\/em>began in 1937.&nbsp;<em>The Book of&nbsp;<\/em><em>Zohar with the Sulam Commentary<\/em>&nbsp;was published in eighteen volumes between 1945-1953. Subsequently, Baal HaSulam wrote three additional volumes in which he interpreted&nbsp;<em>The New&nbsp;<\/em><em>Zohar<\/em>. The publication of the latter interpretation was completed in 1955, after his demise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/clean\/58925\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/var\/kbl\/storage\/images\/kabbalah\/nauka_kabbala\/spryyt_ktby_mqoblym\/mihael_lajtman\/sprym\/kabbalah_for_beginners\/part_one_the_history_of_kabalah_chapter_2_timeless_teachers_of_kabbalah\/rabbi_yehuda_leib_halevi_ashlag_baal_hasulam\/the_book_of_zohar_photo\/1125869-6-eng-GB\/the_book_of_zohar_photo_large.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the introduction to his commentary on&nbsp;<em>The Book of Zohar<\/em>, he explained why he called it \u201cThe Ladder.\u201d \u201cI have called my interpretation&nbsp;<em>The Sulam (Ladder),<\/em>&nbsp;to show that the role of my commentary is as the role of any ladder: if you have an attic filled with goodly matters, you need only a ladder to climb it, and all the abundance of the world is in your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baal HaSulam composed a series of introductions that initiate the student into effective study of Kabbalah texts, and clarify the study method. These include \u201cThe Preface to The Book of Zohar,\u201d \u201cIntroduction to The Book of Zohar,\u201d \u201cPreface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,\u201d \u201cPreface to The Sulam Commentary,\u201d \u201cA General Preface to The Tree of Life,\u201d and \u201cIntroduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1940, Baal HaSulam published a paper he called&nbsp;<em>The Nation<\/em>. In his last years, he wrote&nbsp;<em>The Writings of the Last Generation<\/em>, in which he analyzed different types of government, and outlined a detailed plan for building the corrected society for the future.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spreading the Word<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Baal HaSulam did not settle for simply putting his ideas on paper. Instead, he worked arduously to promote them. As part of his efforts, he met with prominent figures in Israel such as David Ben Gurion, Chaim Nachman Bialik, Zalman Shazar, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Ben Gurion, the first Prim Minister of Israel, wrote in his diaries that he met with Baal HaSulam several times, and that these meetings surprised him because \u201cI wanted to talk to him about Kabbalah, and he, about socialism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>_____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/eng\/content\/view\/clean\/58917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kabbalah.info\/var\/kbl\/storage\/images\/kabbalah\/nauka_kabbala\/spryyt_ktby_mqoblym\/mihael_lajtman\/sprym\/kabbalah_for_beginners\/part_one_the_history_of_kabalah_chapter_1_kabbalah_chronicles\/kabbalah_chronicles\/comment\/1125729-1-eng-GB\/comment_medium.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIndeed we have already come to such a degree that the whole world is considered one collective and one society.

He couldn&#8217;t afford to pay a typesetter and was doing the typesetting himself, letter by letter, standing over the printing press for hours at a time, despite the fact that he was in his late sixties. Ashlag was clearly a&nbsp;<em>Tzadik<\/em>&nbsp;(righteous man)\u2014a humble man, with a radiant face. But he was an absolutely marginal figure and terribly impoverished. I later heard that he spent so many hours setting type that the lead used in the printing process damaged his health.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took over half a century for his greatness to be recognized, but today his achievements are well known. In recent years, his teaching has attracted a great deal of attention, and hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world study his works, which have been translated into many different languages. Now, anyone who truly wishes to climb to the spiritual world can easily do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baal HaSulam was a fascinating and complex individual, broadminded and well-educated. He was very much involved in global events as well as in the events that occurred in Israel, where he lived. His views are considered revolutionary and far-reaching in their boldness, even today<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baal HaSulam passed away in 1954, but his ideas have been perpetuated by his successor, his firstborn son, Rabbi Baruch Shalom Ashlag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(1884-1954) Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag is better known as Baal HaSulam (Owner of the Ladder) for his&nbsp;Sulam&nbsp;(Ladder) commentary on&nbsp;The Book of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":13176,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"topic":[27],"class_list":["post-13235","book","type-book","status-publish","hentry","topic-michael-laitman"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 -
