Going Out To Establish Interpersonal Connections
Question: What does a strong family, a strong home, mean for a Kabbalist?
Answer: A strong family is a family that lives in a strong environment, and since an environment like this is good for them, this is a strong home for them.
A home is a human environment, not the stone walls or physical structure. Nowadays, the concept of a home has gradually changed its meaning, and it is understood that stone walls no longer can protect us from anything whatsoever and don’t provide any sense of security. This is because security is found in the good relationships and incorporation into all the circles of human society.
Today society is the next circle for a strong family home, and for society, a wider circle is the nation, and so on.
This means that the concept of a home as a cave, tent, tabernacle, apartments, etc., no longer exists. A home is about going out to establish interpersonal connection.
So here all of the physical borders have been destroyed and only internal contact between people remains. Walls, seas, and oceans cannot separate us, as we must be connected. The development of the Internet clearly shows this to us.
Question: Can Europe, which opened the borders between the nations of the European Union, serve as an example for us?
Answer: Unfortunately, Europe took this step from the point of view of egoistic benefit for itself, to make more money, avoid war, and exploit the weaker nations.
The nations of the European Union connected only the banks. In their program, the integration of all of humanity and the mutual penetration of cultures with each other did not enter into the plan. Only today are they beginning to understand how far they are from integration.
