In The Master of the Ladder  we find the story of a great Kabbalist. We experience his passion for serving God, we learn of the spiritual  path he received from his Masters, and we struggle with him in his courage and perseverance in opening up the inner wisdom of the Torah, the Kabbalah 
Told through  Rabbi Ashlag’s  personal documents, interviews with those who knew him, his letters, and his teachings, we get a vibrant, inner view of a great sage who was in constant union with his Creator.
We also get a dynamic view of the opening of Kabbalah and what it means for us to have this wisdom in our turbulent generation. Many excerpts form his writings and teachings are given throughout the book, and there is a comprehensive glossary.
