The opening as it read in 2025
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. Although Hasidic dynasties are most often named for their town of origin, this dynasty is known by the surname of its rebbes . There are a few Ashlag Rebbeim. The current Ashlag leader in Bnei Brak is Rebbe Simcha Avraham Ashlag. The leader in Telse Stone and Tel Aviv is Rebbe Avraham Mordechai Gottlieb . There is an Ashlag community in Or HaGanuz in the north of Israel and one in Ramat Gan led by Rav Adam Sinai. As a child, he was close to his grandfather, the Baal Hasulam, who saw great promise in him and told him at age 6 to commence study of the Zohar together with his other studies at the age of 13. Rebbe Avraham Mordechai Gottlieb was a close student of Rebbe Baruch Shalom Ashlag , the oldest son of the Baal HaSulam, learning from him starting at age 14. Rebbe Moshe Hayyim Brandwein is the grandson of Rebbe Yehuda Tzvi Brandwein, a main student of the Baal HaSulam, who was ordained by Rav Kook and Rav Sonnenfeld . He leads the Kol Yehuda yeshiva opposite the Hurva synagogue as the Rebbe of Stretin. He leads the 'Sulam' community in Ramat Gan. The non-Orthodox organisations Bnei Baruch and Kabbalah Centre claim descent from Ashlag hassidism.
