About This Text

Author: Yehuda Ashlag
Composed: Jerusalem, Israel, c.1943 – c.1953 CE
Baal HaSulam’s Preface to the Zohar is a 20th-century introductory essay by Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag that aims to answer the question of why one should study the Zohar. In the process of answering, Ashlag considers kabbalah’s approach to existential questions such as why suffering exists and what peoples’ purpose is in this world.
