Leading Kabbalist and the founder of the modern Kabbala.

Rabbi Yitzchak Luria also known as the Ari Hakadosh and the Arizal was one of the leading Kabbalists to ever live. Born in Yerushalaim, he moved to Egypt at a young age, where through tremendous self effort, prayers and seclusion he managed to reach tremendous spiritual heights. At age 35, the Ari moved to 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, which began a new era in the history of the Kabbalah.
