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 Kabbalah Centre.
