Ashlag (Hasidic dynasty)
Ashlag (Hebrew: אשלג) is the name of a number of Hasidic courts that were established in Israel by the students and descendants of Kabbalist Rebbe Yehuda Leib Haleivi Ashlag from Warsaw, Poland, known as Baal HaSulam.[1]
Although Hasidic dynasties are most often named for their town of origin, this dynasty is known by the surname of its rebbes.
The Current Ashlag Admor shlita, Rebbe Simcha Halevi Ashlag, was born to the previous Ashlag Admor, Rebbe Shlomo Binyamin ztz”l and his wife, Marat Ahuva Liba, in 5708. As a child, he was close to his holy grandfather, the renowned Ba’al Hasulam, who saw in him great promise and told him to commence study of the Zohar together with his other studies at the age of 13.
