Unpublished Works Handwritten by Rabbi Yehuda Leib Ashlag, Baal HaSulam
Three notebooks handwritten by the kabbalist, R. Yehuda Leib Ashlag, the Baal HaSulam. [Eretz Israel, ca. 1920s].
Three works on kabbalah and the Zohar, handwritten by the Baal HaSulam. The works are titled on the notebook wrappers: Kishrei HaTzinorot – essays on kabbalistic topics (heading on p. 12 dated 1922), Likutei Zohar VeSidrei Meorot – homilies, commentaries and novellae on the Zohar and kabbalistic concepts (dated 1923 in several places) and Terumat Netzach Part II – Noach, Lech, Vayera, Chaye Sara – kabbalistic commentaries and novellae on the Torah portions, and more (dated 1923).
The three notebooks are filled with neat, close writing (approx. 30-40 lines per page, some in two columns), and comprise three different works (or parts of works). To the best of our knowledge, these works are unpublished.
R. Yehuda Leib Ashlag (1884-1954), outstanding Torah scholar, kabbalist, and thinker. He served as rabbi in Warsaw, later immigrating to Jerusalem where he delivered many classes on kabbalah to elite Torah scholars. With time, a large group of disciples and Chassidim gathered around him, and appointed him their rebbe. He composed and published many works on kabbalah, most famously Talmud Eser Sefirot and the Sulam commentary on the Zohar.
