A prolific author on a host of subjects (including science, psychology and music), Joseph Shapotshnick was a notable non-conformist figure of his time. Shas Ha-Kollel and Shas Ha-Mashpia were published as addendums to his Shas Ha’gadol She’ba’gedolim.
Shas Ha-Mashpia includes a Kabbalistic commentary to Etz Chaim by R. Y. Ashlag as well as a commentary on the Shem Ha-meforash by the author. For more on this maverick English rabbi see H. Rabinowicz, A World Apart: The Story of the Chasidim in Britain (1997) pp.56-66
