...If you have a true desire to cleave to the Creator, there is no more important understanding and source than this book. --Michael Berg, from the Foreword Arguably the most profound mystic of the 20th century, Rav Yehuda Ashlag founded the original Kabbalah Centre in Israel in 1922. Among his gifts was the rare ability to make complex concepts intelligible. His 12 essays in The Wisdom of Truth cover all of the basic truths of Kabbalah, focusing on human dignity and how people must behave toward one another in order to eliminate chaos in the world. Originally published as Gift of the Bible, this new translation from the original Hebrew has been completely re-edited by renowned Kabbalah scholar Michael Berg, who has also provided a helpful introduction. Simply put, this is a book that no serious student of Kabbalah can be without.
Rav Yehuda Ashlag was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1884. From early childhood, he demonstrated remarkable ability, originality, and dedication in the study of the Talmud, the Zohar, and other sacred texts.In his 30s, Rav Ashlag met a Warsaw merchant, a great kabbalist who became his teacher. Their relationship ended when, as Rav Ashlag admitted, "My arrogance caused a separation between us," and the teacher disappeared. They later reunited, and after much pleading, the teacher revealed an important kabbalistic secret to Rav Ashlag, then died the next day. The teacher's identity and the secret have remained unknown.After his teacher's death, Rav Ashlag moved to what is now Israel, where he transformed Kabbalah from a secret wisdom into a widely accessible body of teachings aimed at revolutionizing the world. Drawing on the Zohar, he predicted that 1995 would mark a turning point toward a mass movement for Kabbalah and spiritual transformation. Rav Ashlag wrote and published two major works: "Talmud Eser Sefirot" ("Study of the Ten Luminous Emanations") and his "Sulam Commentary on the Zohar," completed over ten years (1943-1953). This monumental work earned him the title Ba'al HaSulam (Master of the Ladder). The Sulam includes a translation of the Zohar from Aramaic to Hebrew, with detailed commentary and interpretation.In addition to his writings, Rav Ashlag founded The Kabbalah Centre in Israel in 1922. He was the teacher and spiritual master of Rav Yehuda Brandwein, who succeeded him as leader of The Kabbalah Centre upon Rav Ashlag's passing in 1956. In 1969, Rav Brandwein passed the leadership to his student Rav Berg. Rav Ashlag had foretold that one of his students would bring Kabbalah to the world. Under Rav Berg and Karen Berg, The Kabbalah Centre became an international spiritual movement with millions of publications sold and tens of thousands of students worldwide.Rav Ashlag was the first kabbalist to make the Zohar and the wisdom of Kabbalah accessible to everyone. His legacy continues to guide us toward personal and global transformation.
