Question: What special thing did Baal HaSulam do besides adapting Kabbalah for our generation?

Answer: Baal HaSulam was a great Kabbalist of the first half of the 20^th century. He summarized all of Lurianic Kabbalah (the Kabbalah of the ARI), organized it into a system, and presented it in The Study of the Ten Sefirot. In addition, he wrote many articles, several Introductions to The Book of Zohar, and turned Kabbalah into a true science.

In his writings, Baal HaSulam was the first to address ordinary people. Before him, Kabbalists wrote only for those who had already attained the upper world.

He was the first to spread Kabbalah to the public, because from his time onward, the world entered a period of spiritual ascent, even if it is not yet revealed. It is an accumulating, gradually building process.

Moreover, Baal HaSulam began to spread Kabbalah not only to Jews, but to the whole world wherever possible. He wrote openly about this: “I am glad that I have been born in such a generation when it is permitted to disclose the wisdom of truth, and I have been given permission to disclose Kabbalah in the world.”

Baal HaSulam’s eldest son, RABASH, was the great Kabbalist of the second half of the 20^th century, and our teacher. This is why our organization is called Bnei Baruch (Sons of Baruch); it is in his honor. From him, we received the Kabbalistic method that we study today.

He wrote three volumes of articles explaining the entire spiritual work of a person, how to attain the upper worlds. In addition, many of his archival recordings have been preserved but not yet published, and we are working on them.
