Torah: Original Or Translation?

137Question: Does one need to read the Torah only in the original language? Is it pointless to try to understand the meaning of the Torah and The Book of Zohar as it is translated in Russian?

Answer: It is pointless to read the Torah both in the original or in translation because man will not understand what it really wants to tell him.

In order to study the Torah in any language, one must first study Kabbalah. Then we will understand the meaning hidden in the Torah.

Machsom Or Final Correction?

608.01Question: Which state is deeper relative to the previous ones: crossing the Machsom or final correction?

Answer: Final correction, of course.

Crossing the Machsom is a very serious stage, a breakthrough in the development of a person, in the development of the soul, but you cannot compare it with what comes later. The Machsom is what is now before us, the first degree.

And deeper and higher is that which is closer to the Creator.
