In the Shadow of the Ladder
Introductions to Kabbalah by Rabbi Yehudah Lev Ashlag
Translated from the Hebrew with additional explanatory chapters by Mark Cohen PhD and Yedidah Cohen MBBS

This is an authentic translation into English of  the Introduction to the Zohar and the Introduction to the Study of the Ten Sephirot by Rabbi Yehudah Leib Ashlag

What is my essence?

• Do I have a soul?
• If I do, why can’t I experience it?
• Why do I feel alienated?

It is with these deeply personal questions that Rabbi Ashlag opens his Introductions. Moving easily from the experience of the individual to the role of humankind in Creation and back again, he teaches the interplay of light with its vessel.
This is the dynamic that makes up the drama of the Creator in relationship to the creation. Evil, suffering, compassion and joy, are shown to each have their place as the path unfolds from concealment of the Source to the full experience of Divine love.
Rabbi Ashlag teaches Kabbalah as a universal pathway.

The book includes explanatory chapters and a glossary.
