About the Book
The Kabbalist Rabbi Laitman, who was the student and
personal assistant to Rabbi Baruch Ashlag from 1979-1991,
follows in the footsteps of his rabbi in passing on the wisdom
of Kabbalah to the world. This book is based on sources that
were passed down by Rabbi Baruch’s father, Rabbi Yehuda
Ashlag (Baal HaSulam), the author of ‘‘the Sulam,’’ the
commentaries on The Book of Zohar, who continued the
ways of the Ari and Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai and many
great Kabbalists throughout the generations before them.
The goal of this book is to assist individuals in
confronting the first stages of the spiritual realm. This
unique method of study, which encourages sharing this
wisdom with others, not only helps overcome the trials
and tribulations of everyday life, but initiates a process in
which individuals extend themselves beyond the standard
limitations of today’s world.
