To support Sulam Ya'aqov Inc. donations can be sent via our website: https://www.seventyfacesoftorah.com/d... The Ramchal's Mesillat Y’sharim is compared to the ascent of the Sulam Ya'aqov (Jacob's Ladder). Influenced by the words of R’ Pinchas ben Yair, the Ramchal teaches each rung on the ladder is a degree of achievement. However, before a person can begin their ascent of the ladder they first need to know what they are ascending to, i.e., what is their goal.
