R. Yehuda Leib Ashlag (1885-1955) was a genius and erudite scholar as well as a holy divine Kabbalist. Served in the Warsaw rabbinate, and studied Kabbalah from the city elders. He ascended to Jerusalem in 1922 and established the Ittur Rabbanim Yeshiva for the study of revealed Torah, besides for his many kabbalistic discourses which he delivered to a selected group of young men. Eventually, a large group of disciples and Chassidim gathered around him and he served as their rebbe. He authored and published kabbalistic books, but his masterpiece is the celebrated work, the Sulam commentary on the Zohar.
