Baal HaSulam lived a difficult life
Filled with trouble, pain and strife
Yet through it all he found a way
To bring the wisdom to our day
He saw a world consumed by hate
And knew mankind could not just wait
He knew the answer had to be
For man to rise above the me
To join together heart to heart
For this is where the work must start
He showed us how to organize
How through the friends a man can rise
How ten can gather and become
As if the many were but one
He worked and wrote both day and night
To open for us the path to Light
Not for riches, not for fame
Not so the world would know his name
But for the souls who someday might
Need his words to find the Light
His troubles came, his hardships grew
Still he continued what he knew
For somewhere deep within his heart
He knew his writings were a start
A road for those who came behind
A way for mankind to finally find
That all the hatred we must rise above
And build between us only love
Baal HaSulam has gone away
Yet still his words are here today
And every time the Ten becomes one
The work he started carries on
