Synopsis

The Light of Wisdom provides a deep understanding of how to achieve the goal of eternal life. Rav Ashlag describes the process of unfolding the secrets of Rav Shimon, and also explains how the revelations of the Baal Shem Tov and the Ari helped open the Gates of Wisdom to the masses. In the second half of The Light of Wisdom, we learn the real mistake of Adam and Eve. Through understanding the DNA of what went wrong, we also learn how to personally correct it; as we are each part of Adam and Eve we perpetuate their sin. The temporary life we experience due to their errors, this whole procedure of time and limitation, is one that will ultimately create eternity for us if we do our own tikkun (spiritual correction).

About this title

About the Author

Born in Poland in 1886, Kabbalist Rav Yehuda Ashlag is revered by students of Kabbalah as one of the most profound mystics and spiritual teachers of the 20th Century. Among his many accomplishments was the first-ever translation of the Zohar from its original Aramaic into Hebrew.

Rav Ashlag felt a powerful need to reveal the wisdom of Kabbalah to the masses, which had previously been prohibited. This desire led him to found The Kabbalah Centre in Jerusalem in 1922, making the wisdom widely available for the first time, and thus passing on a legacy that continues to this day through Kabbalah Centre International, its teachers and students worldwide. He was the teacher and spiritual master of Rav Yehuda Brandwein, to whom leadership of The Centre was passed when Rav Ashlag died in 1954. In turn, when Rav Brandwein died in 1969, he designated Kabbalist Rav Berg to lead The Centre.
