The writings of Rav Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag (RABASH), the firstborn son and successor of Rav Yehuda Leib HaLevi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), author of the Sulam (Ladder) commentary on The Book of Zohar, provide us with insights that connect the wisdom of Kabbalah to our human experience. These books disclose the profound knowledge of human nature that the RABASH possessed, and take us on a journey to our own souls. As we absorb the texts, we find that Kabbalah is not some cryptic occultism, but a time-tested method to understand ourselves and improve our lives and the world around us.

Although Baruch Shalom HaLevi Ashlag received rabbinical ordination from the two chief rabbis of Israel at the time, Yosef Sonnenfeld and the famous Rav Kook, Ashlag chose not to make a living by his prodigious Torah knowledge, but rather as a simple road builder, most days doing hard labor from first light until sundown. When his co-workers would go home to rest, Ashlag would go to study the kabbalah from midnight on, with his great father and teacher, the monumental kabbalist Baal HaSulam. After his father's death Ashlag was recognized as his father's successor and later given the honorary title RABASH, as he had become a master kabbalist. Today he is known for revealing the existence of and explaining a closely guarded method of using the kabbalist group as a laboratory for revealing spirituality.
