Comment: I can relate to you and to the writings of Baal HaSulam, but I feel Rabash is somehow in between, and I cannot quite grasp him.

My Response: I understand you on the one hand. But on the other hand, it is completely not the case. Rabash gave us all the foundations of spiritual work. Before him, they had not been presented systematically. Kabbalists either wrote commentaries on the Torah, or letters, and articles, but a systematic presentation of the inner work a person must do to attain the Creator was given to us only by my teacher Rabash.

He wrote nearly 500 articles on this topic. In them, he expressed absolutely all the states of a person starting the spiritual path from zero and moving forward.

What Rabash did is a priceless contribution to Kabbalah! It is such an invaluable, irreplaceable help for a beginner, one that cannot be drawn from The Book of Zohar, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, or any other works!

On one hand he was a great Kabbalist, and on the other a very concealed one and cunning in how he concealed himself, how he hid everything, and stayed in the shadow of his father!

You are right when you say, “Somehow I don’t see him, he just slips past.” He truly diminished himself: “Who am I? My father was the great Kabbalist.”

Rabash was the greatest Kabbalist, with such discoveries, such achievements, such writings, and yet he constantly concealed it: “I just study a little,” and so on. No one knew him or understood him.

He was a great practitioner, a great systematizer, a great teacher, a great educator!

In his articles, he laid out the system of spiritual work in various forms suitable for every person, every soul, every style, at all times and states that we go through.

I could speak endlessly about what he did! Not because he was my teacher, the closest and dearest person to me, but because he truly did something for us without which we could not take a single step forward. We could not!

Now that we are finally beginning to study his articles seriously, I hope we will come to realize this. It is a very serious work, incomparable to anything else.
