Question: Passover lasts for seven days. Why is that?

Answer: Seven days represent the seven Sefirot, all the levels of our soul. On the first day of Passover, a person exits the intention for oneself and continues to get rid of his egoistic intentions on the second day, the third day, and so on, until he completely detaches from them.

In this way, one approaches a state called Yam Suf—the Red Sea. He is ready to plunge into it to fully detach himself from Egypt (from egoism).

Question: Exiting Egypt is the final frontier of the corporeal, egoistic world beyond which lies an arbitrary line called Machsom. By crossing it, a person begins to feel love, bestowal, and the spiritual world. What happens to him? What transformation occurs beyond this line?

Answer: Beyond this line, a person only thinks about how through others he can increasingly realize in himself the quality of bestowal and love. As a result, he begins to feel in this quality that he is filled with the highest light—the Creator.

Question: How do we collectively find the true, correct Hisaron (deficiency) during the night time?

Answer: At night we cannot find anything; there is no light. During this time, a person is under the influence of egoism, under the influence of uncorrected or even evil forces.

Therefore, at night we do nothing, and we act only when morning begins, i.e., from midnight.
In this, we take an example from King David who always woke up at midnight and began writing Psalms.

Question: On Passover night, the body is limited both in thoughts and desires. What is this state?

Answer: It is a state of feeling the exile in Egypt.

Question: We are required to awaken from below. Is there anything special about Purim that we still need to do?

Answer: We do not need anything other than connection. The Creator created the desire to receive and shattered it into many parts. And we need to gather them so that they become like one person with one desire.

All these parts are in us. We are broken parts, so our desire to unite leads us to a state of correction.
We must constantly turn to the Creator with a request that He unite us into one common whole.

And when He does, we will have the opportunity to ask Him to fill our common desire with the upper light. This state will be called Purim.

Question: What is the true deficiency (Hisaron) born in the struggle of exile and redemption that leads to true prayer?

Answer: The true Hisaron, or deficiency, arises in a person through the process of studying what exile is, why we ended up there, and how to escape from it.

This is the essence of Passover. Passover, from the word Pesach (Pe-Sach), means a transition from one state to another, from a state of exile to a state of redemption from egoism.

Passover night symbolizes the feeling of being exiled into egoism.

Therefore, for hundreds of years until the final correction (Gmar Tikkun), the exodus from Egypt represents the final night of Passover, when we finally exit egoism and become free people.

Question: What should be the conditions for the quality of the people of Israel in us to hear the call of Mordechai: either connection or death?

Answer: We must feel that as a result of the entire historical path, we have reached a state where the Creator (nature) sets a task: either you unite with each other and become higher, more developed than everyone else, and then everything will work out, or your end will be here.

Question: The fact is that although our lives are in danger every day, we cannot say that any sensitivity has awakened in us. How can we develop it?

Answer: Special sensitivity can be developed only by all possible actions to unite. Then we will see how much they help us and benefit every person and the whole nation.

Question: It is said: “The wicked will prepare and the righteous will wear.” How do we build these properties in the ten?

Answer: The point is that such a state can exist even in one person when he wants to do a spiritual action but still has intentions for his own sake.

However, while doing spiritual work, he gradually corrects himself and acts for the sake of the Creator.

Question: What does a righteous person wear on Purim: the Light of Hassadim or Hochma?

Answer: On the holiday of Purim, he wears the level he reaches.

Question: Purim is an awakening from above, and Yom Kippur is an awakening from below. But in any case, there must be some readiness for an awakening from above. How is this different from awakening from below?

Answer: In principle, we are always in favor of causing awakening from ourselves, from below. But at the same time, we must understand that awakening from below is accomplished by regretting our sins.

And awakening from above is already an awakening from the Creator when you begin to understand, feel more, and come closer to Him.

Question: Awakenings from above and from below should occur together, right?

Answer: No, of course not. One after the other, alternately.

Question: How can each of us become Mordechai and call upon the group to unite? The group is our world, after all.

Answer: A person who feels that the most important thing is the unification of all people is called Mordechai, from the word “Mor-Dror” (light of freedom).

He attracts the light of the Creator from above, which unites all people. And therefore, in such an action there is a possibility of defeating the most evil force—the force of Haman.

Question: So we should do this on Purim so that we lead the group to correction?

Answer: Not only on Purim, but all the time throughout the year.

Our goal is to connect to such an extent “until we do not know” (exactly as it is said in Purim). That is, I do not want and do not ask for anything other than connection between us, which turns into an empty vessel ready for the revelation of the Creator, the revelation of the entire spiritual ladder.

Question: What is the quality of Queen Esther in us?

Answer: This is the quality of Malchut, which is ready to be in concealment so that we can get closer to receiving the upper light.

Question: If Esther is a beautiful desire, ready to connect with the Creator, then how can it be in concealment?

Answer: We all have a simple physical property: if our desires are similar, then we understand each other; if they are different, then not.

Esther’s name comes from the word “Astara”—concealment. People who are not in this desire do not see it. Therefore, no one understands or feels it, except Mordechai because he offered her qualities to his master the king.

Question: Is concealment her role?

Answer: Yes, in women this quality manifests itself differently, especially in the spiritual world.

Question: What is it, and how can we use it?

Answer: We narrow our Kelim and try to restrict them so that they are not accidentally filled with light because then we will be forced to receive it for ourselves. Therefore, we must praise modesty, that is, to do everything as to be far away from egoistic reception.
