Rav Yehuda Leib Ashlag zt"l
Rav Yehuda Leib Ashlag of Yerushalayim (1886-1954). Rav Ashlag translated the Zohar into Hebrew from the original Aramaic, and he authored the Sulam, a commentary on the Zohar. Rav Ashlag reedited the “Etz Chaim” which is the definitive Lurianic work on essence and cosmology. To this he added a commentary transposing the somewhat abstract notion of “receptacle” (Kli) into the experientially more accessible term “desire” (Ratzon) in all its many permutations. This work is known as the “Talmud Esser Sphirot.”
