Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag (1885—1954) or Yehuda Leib Ha-Levi Ashlag (Hebrew: רַבּי יְהוּדָה לֵיבּ הַלֵּוִי אַשְׁלַג) also known as the Baal Ha-Sulam (Hebrew: בַּעַל הַסּוּלָם, "Author of the Ladder") in reference to his magnum opus, was an orthodox rabbi born in Warsaw, Congress Poland, Russian Empire, to a family of scholars connected to the Hasidic courts of Porisov and Belz. Rabbi Ashlag lived in the Holy Land from 1922 until his death in 1954 (except for two years in England), and is considered by many to have been a great kabbalist. In addition to his Sulam commentary on the Zohar, his other primary work, Talmud Eser Sefirot is regarded as an important study text for many students of Kabbalah.
