Question: Your teacher was already an elderly person when you met him. You knew that in any event he would pass away. Did you prepare yourself for his death?

Answer: It was absolutely clear to me that I would be unable to live a single day in the surroundings where he was once he was gone. I was in that place and with those people only because of him. Only! The moment he would not be there, I would not be there either.

Rabash left. He died in my arms in the hospital. There was no one around him but me. It was Friday. I called and told the guys that our teacher is not here anymore. People started coming to the hospital. The same day the funeral took place at 11 in the morning. We went to Jerusalem. I remember all of this as in a dream.

I still thought that I should not be so easily separated from the others and they from me, and that we should break into many parts. I understood that eventually I would have to do that. I was thinking that we would have to reorganize somehow in the same system, in the same society. After all, in Kabbalah it is written about society, about group, so it means I have to do something. And I tried.

In the end I felt rejection from the others, and they felt the same way toward me, and everything broke into many pieces. One group stayed in Bnei Barak, another one in Jerusalem, the third one somewhere else. It happened as I expected.

Question: Does it mean you played the “film” of what would happen after Rabash’s death for yourself?

Answer: Absolutely. No doubt. I even talked using hints about this with Rabash. Why not?

In the same way today I can talk about what will happen when I am gone; there has to be a group the same as now. The core of the group is the people I rely on even today. I can even say their names. They can lead the group correctly together and in no way will be swayed by other opinions that jump out here and there.

The same happened after Rabash was gone. Right away upstarts appeared. With the teacher they were sitting quietly in the corner, but now they got a feeling that everyone is equal. No way! There are no equals.

There are people who are not capable, do not understand, and still undeveloped internally to be inside the governing system, in the core. And there are those who according to their inner readiness, to their connection with me are ahead. They possess the inner self-discipline; they can continue to carry on this mission. Therefore, I think it will get organized this way.
