Question: Why were your first students Russian speakers?

Answer: I published several books in Russian first. So people came to me and literally forced me to study with them. Actually it was easier for me to read and write in Russian back then.

Besides, I did not see anyone needing it in Hebrew at the time. Thus, in the closed Russian circle I felt free and unrestricted. I was afraid to reveal myself in Hebrew. Who am I even if I am a student of a great Kabbalist? I still lacked confidence and it was not time yet.

It was 1991-1992 and I was giving talks on the radio in Russian at that time. Therefore Russian speakers came and said they wanted to study.

Question: Why did you feel the need to speak on the radio?

Answer: This need had developed in me long before. Kabbalah itself called for this and I felt a certain inner pressure. It is like childbirth when you give out what is in you, give birth, and have room for the next portion, for the next buildup and attainment of the material.

I accumulated the material, attained it, compiled it within myself and then poured it into the book. Through this I gave birth in a way. Then my inner capacity was vacant again, and it was possible to start thinking about the next topic, accumulate material, process, and study from the sources.

It was a huge incentive to develop, read, process, realize, and express everything on paper and get a reaction from people.
