<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For centuries, the Kabbalah had been closed to all but a few. It was Rabbi Yehudah Leib Ashlag who opened this spiritual treasure for all. He became known as Baal HaSulam, "Master of the Ladder," after the name of his great commentary on the Zohar, the central work of Kabbalah. Rabbi Ashlag taught that the study of Kabbalah opens us to a spiritual path that connects soul with Source. He taught the importance of uniting outward action with inner intention; that the revealed Torah needs to join with the hidden Torah, Kabbalah. The Master of the Ladder brings you Rabbi Ashlag's letters, his poems, and his teachings, enabling you to experience the depth and beauty of a Torah-inspired life. You, too, can feel the passion that filled Rabbi Ashlag's heart and soul. Inviting you into the heart of Torah, The Master of the Ladder enables you to discover your own heart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Throughout the book, the figure of Rabbi Ashlag appears as an intense and holy man.
