Happy Shavuot!
Shavuot has a special message to all of us. Like all Jewish holidays, it represents a state in our spiritual development. The state of Shavuot marks the point where we are given the Torah—the law of life. But we are given it only after we, the whole of the people of Israel, proclaim “with one voice” (Exodus 24:3) that we will do as the law dictates.

The largest portal Breaking Israel News published my new article “Iran-Israel Clashes: Why the Enemies of Israel Give It No Respite”
“If it is impossible to blow the shofar of redemption, the enemies of Israel, Amalek, Hitler, etc. will come and call us to redemption, they warn us and give us no respite.”
– Rav Abraham HaCohen Kook
After periods of Israel warring with all neighboring countries in its radius, its current enemy on duty, which warns and gives it no respite, is Iran.
Last week, the time came when years of muscle flexing between the two countries erupted in a few initial jabs. Hours after claiming Israel’s forces in the Golan Heights were targeted by Iranian rockets, Israel retaliated by firing dozens of missiles at Iranian positions in Syria. The short but fierce conflict raised fears that violence in the region might be escalating and heading toward a direct confrontation between the two enemies.
The Only Way to Protect the People of Israel
I am no expert on international conflict resolution. History, however, has taught me that Israel will always be in humanity’s sights, and it will not be allowed to rest, precisely because of the unique role the people of Israel have toward the world: to connect “as one man with one heart” and provide a positive example of connection to humanity, i.e. to be “a light unto nations.” Fulfilling this role is the remedy that can protect the people of Israel from trouble. Until we achieve a certain quality and quantity of positive connection above all our differences, we can expect tensions to continue rising.
Great Jewish leaders throughout the ages circulated this message however they could. Rabbi Kalman Kalonymus wrote in Maor va Shemesh (Light and Sun): “When there are love, unity, and friendship between each other in Israel, no calamity can come upon them.” Similarly, Rabbi Shmuel Bornsztain wrote in Shem mi Shmuel (A Name Out of Samuel): “When Israel are as one man with one heart, they are as a fortified wall against the forces of evil.” Likewise, Rabbi Yehuda Leib Arieh Altar, the ADMOR of Gur, stressed in Sefat Emet (True Tongue): “Israel’s unity induces great salvations and removes all the slanderers.”
Why the World Revolves Around Israel
The people of Israel act as a central junction in the human network. If we try to connect positively above our differences, we let nature’s positive connective force flow through us into the entire human network. As a result, people start changing, albeit unconsciously. Connection would become more valued, and as a byproduct, the attitude toward the people of Israel would become more positive. On the other hand, failure to invest in enhancing human connection invites the negative force to further fuel humanity’s subconscious, enabling the flames of hatred to rise higher and higher in our direction. Therefore, in the situation at hand with Iran, it is only a matter of time before the people of Israel will be judged as those to blame for the tension.
Israel Currently Working Against its Divine Mission
In periods when such tensions escalate to all-out war, the climax of fear momentarily connects us. We stop caring about our internal disputes and all focus on protecting ourselves from the external threat. However, such temporary connection has no lasting strength. That is, the moment the external threat goes away, we continue business-as-usual, and all our internal disputes again take center stage.
Therefore, while time is still tilted in our favor, we should concern ourselves with initiating our connection through positive incentives. The world is waiting for us to carry out our fateful mission: to infuse it with positive connection. The more we can inspire relations of care, kindness and love to each other above our divisive inclinations, the more we will pave the path for a key attitude shift to sweep over humanity. It is my hope that we will use our ambitious energy to enliven our connection and spread it to the world sooner rather than later, instead of waiting for turmoil and suffering to goad us from the other end of the spectrum.
Question: Men go through the reincarnation of souls. But what about women? Does a woman have an eternal soul or does it just extinguish and that’s it?
Answer: There is no difference between men and women. Moreover, if a woman is able to overcome her egoism and begin to connect with other women in mutual support, they can surpass men in their spiritual attainment.
I would say that the Creator loves women more than men.

Remark: Facebook recognizes its influence. This social network no longer denies that it can cause people to become dependent on it and spread false information. On its official blog, the company representatives confirmed that social networks directly affect democracy, and not in the best way.
My Comment: There is nothing to be done about it. They will continue to do it in every possible way. It is a very profitable business, which provides the most powerful way to influence the world.
Specialists in social technologies, in fact, program a person, determine his way of thinking, his feelings and views. It is impossible to resist them because we see only the tip of the iceberg.
While we do not want to be guided by the upper management, the program of our internal development, our own domestic “fate programmers” will cause us trouble again and again. Under their “keen guidance,” egoism will take power over all spheres of life and turn people into a herd. It already does.
There is only one solution: realizing the evil that lies within our nature. Then, we will “expose” ourselves to a different program that develops us, rather than “trains” us. In direct communication, with the help of Kabbalah, a person will discover a system of relationships that elevates him vertically upward into the upper world, above the surface of this network that will choke him to the last.

New Life 980 – By Virtue Of Righteous Women
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz
A righteous woman is a desire to receive that wants to benefit everyone, and through them, the Creator. According to the wisdom of Kabbalah, there are no men and women but one human figure with a masculine part called the intention, and a feminine part called the desire. Each spiritual or corrected action has both a masculine and a feminine part. The feminine characters portrayed in the Torah are different intentions that are revealed in our spiritual development. We develop spiritually from Egypt where all desires are for self-pleasure to the kingdom or Nukva where the desires are corrected by ascending to Bina, which is a force of bestowal.

High above, Batya,
Daughter of Pharaoh and of the Creator,
Wraps everyone in a blanket of light.
(#Zohar. Lech-lecha, 196)
The wisdom of Kabbalah is the Creator’s #revelation by His paths, in all categories that are and will be revealed in the worlds, in all forms that can be revealed in the worlds, till the end of all generations.
(Baal HaSulam, “The #Wisdom of #Kabbalah and Its Essence”)
Everything was prepared in advance, and every #Soul already exists in all its light, goodness and #eternity.
(Baal HaSulam, “Letter 25”)
Every person has to attain the root of his soul.
(Baal HaSulam, “The Acting Mind”)
#WisdomofKabbalah_ML #Reality_ML
One thought created all #reality, upper and lower, all the way to the final correction. This one thought acts in everything, is the essence of all actions, determines the goal, and is the essence of all efforts, their whole perfection and expected reward.
Baal HaSulam, TES (The Study of the Ten Sefirot), Part 1
The first spiritual act, annulment of self (egoism, one’s I), is necessary so the Creator can perform anything on you with your consent (Mesirut Nefesh) in faith above reason (bestowal, Li Shma). After that, self-annulment becomes more and more active.
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah
One who receives fulfillment from the Creator ascends in these fulfillments. One who merits to feel that the #Creator also delights with him, preparing him to receive the upper influences, is called a #Kabbalist.
(Baal HaSulam, “Letter 46”)
#SpiritualWork_ML #Kabbalah
Crossing to the common group screen is called crossing Machsom, the boundary with the upper world. We act together in our group aspiration, covered by a common intention (screen, blanket) from us to the Creator. This is crossing the Machsom.
#Spiritualwork_ML #Kabbalah
The peculiarity of #Kabbalah is that it is able to connect opposing properties ( #opinions, desires, goals), people (parties, nations) into one.
#Wisdom
It is my hope that we will use our ambitious energy to enliven our connection and spread it to the world sooner rather than later, instead of waiting for turmoil and #suffering to goad us from the other end of the spectrum. #Iran #Jerusalem #Israel
The more we can inspire relations of care, #kindness and #love to each other above our divisive inclinations, the more we will pave the path for a key attitude shift to sweep over #humanity.
While time is still tilted in our favor, we should concern ourselves with initiating our connection through positive incentives. The #world is waiting for us to carry out our fateful mission: to infuse it with positive connection. #Israel
However, such temporary connection has no lasting strength. That is, the moment the external threat goes away, we continue business-as-usual, and all our internal disputes again take center stage. From my article:
#Israel Currently Working Against its Divine Mission
In periods when such tensions escalate to all-out #war, the climax of fear momentarily connects us. We stop caring about our internal disputes and all focus on protecting ourselves from the external threat.
Q: If my desires reach a higher order, to bestow and love, will I see spiritual phenomena?
A: You’ll even feel the system of #forces managing our world and every person, you’ll see the result of its influences and will interact with them to practically determine the #future.
The Creator gradually raises us, creating problems and revealing that only He can solve them. In this way He attaches us, egoism, to Him. There’s nowhere to run, and that’s great! It’s wonderful to feel that all your development is in Him, in acquiring the quality of bestowal.
The Creator will force #Jews to think about the reason for others’ hatred of them and what #Kabbalah says about it!
#Antisemitism
#UNHRC: Israel ‘ignores international law again and again’
The #UN will soon pass a resolution to revoke the state of #Israel, with most countries’ support.
#Kabbalah is simple, but it’s difficult to master since you have to act against yourself, for the good of others and the Creator.
#selfdevelopment #consciousness
#Spiritualwork_ML is managing the world/desire, aiming it at the benefit of the group/Creator. This is the sole influence on the world/Creator. Governance is only through desire.
The #Germans wanted to be courteous hosts
But the guests ended up being the hosts—
Showing hosts the door…
