'''Rabbi Yitzchak Luria''', also known as the '''Ari Hakadosh''' (the Holy and G-dly Rabbi Yitzchak) and the '''Arizal''' was one of the leading Kabbalists to ever live. According to Breslov tradition, he was one of the 5 Tzadikai Yesod Olam throughout history. Born in Yerushalaim, the Ari moved to Egypt at a young age, where through tremendous self effort, prayers, meditations and seclusion he managed to reach tremendous spiritual heights. At age 35, the Ari moved to [[Safed|Tzfat]], becoming its leading Kabbalist after the passing of the Ramak. Despite the short amount of time he lived in Tzfat before passing away in 1572, the Ari managed to implant his teaching in a group of students headed by Rabbi Chaim Vital, beginning a new era in the history of the [[Kabbalah]]. So respected was the Arizal that even his actions were taken as sufficient proof to uproot existing customs. Each year tens of thousands of people visit the kever of the Arizal in the [[Ancient Tzfat Cemetery]]. | '''Rabbi Yitzchak Luria''', also known as the '''Ari Hakadosh''' (the Holy and G-dly Rabbi Yitzchak) and the '''Arizal''' was one of the leading Kabbalists to ever live.
