Rabbi Yitzchak Luria was born in 1534 to his father Rabbi Shlomo in Yerushalaim. In his early youth he became orphaned from his father and moved with his mother to Egypt to the home of his wealthy uncle Mordechai Frances. There the Ari studied under the [[Rabbi David Ben Zimra - Radbaz|Radbaz]] and his student Rabbi Bezalel Ashkenazi. At age 15 the Arizal married the daughter of his uncle, spending the next six years studying with Rabbi Bezalel Ashkenazi. He helped his teacher create the Shita Mikubetzet on a few tracts of Talmud. After this the Arizal spent 8 years in solitary conclusion, meditating and studying [[Kabbalah]] in a small room on the banks of the Nile river. He would only come home on Shabbot and would only speak in Lashon Hakodesh even to his wife. | Rabbi Yitzchak Luria was born in 1534 to his father Rabbi Shlomo in Yerushalaim.
