Question: What was your attitude toward Rabash? Was it as a son to a father, that he is a close, dear person to you? Or was it more a feeling that over the years of study you must take everything from him to pass on? What prevailed: the attitude of the son to the father or the student to the teacher?

Answer: Of course, the son. There was a very serious, very clear sense of relationship between us. He felt that my house was his home. My wife cooked for him, washed his clothes, and knitted things for him. It was a very close relationship.

When I first came to him, one evening before classes I saw that his students were passing a letter of Baal HaSulam from hand to hand. It was an article that was later included in the collection “Shamati.”

When I asked him, “Where do I get it and how do I understand it?”, he replied: “The most important thing for you is to achieve the study of “peh el peh” (mouth to mouth).”

For a long time I didn’t understand what these words meant. That is, I heard that this is supposedly a state of study, but I didn’t know what it was, what it is like. Later I realized that “peh el peh” is a single soul when a student adapts to the teacher in everything.

It is very difficult to come to this because there are huge counter forces. It is not just like in a calm atmosphere—we are together and that is it. This is working against huge interference
