The Mekubal Rabbi Yehuda Zvi Brandwein, Rebbe of Stratin (1903-1969), grandson of Rabbi Tzvi Aryeh Malik and Rabbi Avraham of Stratin. In his youth studied under Rabbi Yo’el of Satmar and became his close disciple and brother-in-law of the holy Rebbe Yehuda Leib Ashlag, author of the “Sulam”. Studied and taught Kabbalah his entire life. As part of his life's purpose to spread the knowledge of Judaism, he took upon himself the position of Head of Religious Needs of the Histadrut (Labor Union) and was therefore dubbed the "Rabbi of the Histadrut". He proofread and prepared the books of his rabbi, author of the “Sulam”, for print, and also wrote the commentary Ma'a lot HaSulam on the Tikunei Ha'Zohar continuing his composition and his rabbi's work on the Zohar.
