About Read TES

Read TES is an independent, interactive reading of Talmud Eser Sefirot — Baal HaSulam's foundational commentary on the Kabbalah of the Ari — built by students of Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Academy for anyone studying the text closely. The text is in Hebrew and English, with Bnei Baruch translations of some parts in Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, and French; the interface is available in nine languages.

Portrait of Rav Yehuda Ashlag, Baal HaSulam
Rav Yehuda Ashlag (1884–1954), Baal HaSulam — author of Talmud Eser Sefirot

The reading model

The reader follows the structure of Talmud Eser Sefirot itself: the Ari's numbered text, Baal HaSulam's Inner Light explanation anchored directly to it, and Inner Observation as the deeper systematic explanation for the part. Inner Observation is continuous rather than paragraph-linked, so it remains an independent reading pane.
