Question: Why did the Creator reveal the miracle of Hanukkah, that the oil sufficient for only one day of candle burning lasted for eight days?
Answer: The oil symbolizes the light of Bina, which is the quality of bestowal. Therefore, on Hanukkah, we celebrate receiving spiritual correction.
When our egoistic desire turns into an altruistic desire to bestow for the sake of bestowal to others, this is Hanukkah.
The next stage is already receiving for the sake of others, symbolized by Purim, which represents the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).
Therefore, in Hanukkah, we ask for connection between us, i.e., to receive bestowing Kelim, and in Purim, we already connect with the Creator.

Question: During Hanukkah should we connect all our desires aimed at bestowal to each other?
Answer: Yes, everything that is in us is given to us by the Creator. We want to turn this into bestowal to Him through our qualities, hearts, and desires.
Question: How are we, the Bnei Baruch group, ready to accept the light of Hanukkah into our common Kli?
Answer: We are ready. It all depends on us. We have sources that we study and discuss. In general, we can say that we are ready.
We have a whole week ahead of us. Let us load this week with the topic of Hanukkah to understand it as best as possible and to be close to this state. We will succeed. At least we can go through the first stage of correcting egoism.

Question: We accept the value of friends as the beginning of the work and the value of friends as the whole path that we are going through here and now. How can we accept the value of friends as a miracle?
Answer: It is really a miracle that you have the opportunity to sit in a circle with your arms around each other, connect other hearts to this circle, and cling to each other and to the Creator with naked hearts, just like that. Include me as well in your circle.
If you constantly do such exercises, you will see how much your inner feeling opens up, and the Creator appears there.

Question: In the book of the prophet Isaiah (Yeshayahu in Jewish tradition) there is a well-known phrase that everyone repeats, “And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore” (Isaiah, Chapter 2, 2-4). It sounds like fantasy and completely unreal. If this is a prophecy, should it come true?
Answer: Of course.
Comment: It is said that this prophet has never been wrong.
My Response: No prophet makes mistakes because he sees the future as if it were the present.
Question: But it sounds fantastic, do you agree?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Then the question is what time period does this refer to?
Answer: The time when the entire true picture of the universe will be revealed and it is known that the Creator controls absolutely everything.
Question: Is the main thing to reveal it? Must everyone understand and accept this?
Answer: Everyone must understand, feel, see, and reveal it.
Question: And then “they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks.” So, will all wars be overturned?
Answer: Of course. There will be no need to fight, nothing.
Comment: And there will be a need for creativity, like using pruning hooks, building gardens, being at peace with each other.
My Response: Yes.
Question: Under what circumstances will this happen?”
Answer: This will happen when people reveal the Creator.
Question: Under what circumstances will He be revealed?
Answer: I would say this: He will reveal Himself to people when people wish for it.
Question: When will they wish for it?
Answer: When they wish for it, then He will reveal Himself. I am answering you absolutely accurately!
Question: What needs to happen to them? What needs to change? What cry needs to arise for Him to be revealed?
Answer: They must feel that they cannot do without the Creator! Because that is the only thing they lack.
Everything in the world is available to us, but we wish only for His revelation to us and that is it.
Question: Can you say, slowly but surely, people’s view is turning in that direction today?
Answer: I wish I could say that, but it is not in sight yet.
Question: Only suffering can make people turn to the Creator?
Answer: I think only suffering. I hope it will happen quickly. The main thing is quickly.

Question: How can I find the thread on the sensory level that I can pull to directly feel the connection with the Creator and understand if I have awe of Him?
Answer: You do not have that thread yet because you are all within the ego. That is why we work in a group to get ourselves out of it with the help of our friends.
We do not deceive ourselves by saying we are here for the Creator. We really want to achieve this.
Question: Is awe the cause of love or the effect?
Answer: Awe is a person’s inner anxiety when he feels he can get closer to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to be together in the ten so that the Creator raises us?
Answer: It means to be connected, and through the connection, to turn to the Creator so that He raises you.
Question: What is the correct reaction to accusations and slander from someone?
Answer: Show him that you accept it within a quality of goodness.
Question: I see my friends as great, but if someone corrects me, I immediately start blaming her internally and externally. In this case, how can I accept what my friend wants to correct in me? And in general, can she correct something in me?
Answer: No, your friend can only give you an example; only you can correct yourself or rather only the Creator, according to your request.
Question: What does it mean to go deeper into our studies?
Answer: To go deeper means to seriously study what Baal HaSulam writes.
Question: You have many more descents than all of us combined. How do you exit the state and go through a descent correctly?
Answer: I fly up, and that is it.

Question: You said that in order to feel corrected, I need to include all the desires of the friends within me.
How can I do this if a friend in the ten has a concealed desire to connect, if he does not participate in lessons and workshops?
Answer: You just need to connect to his desire and that is it.
Your correction depends on how much you annul yourself in order to connect with him in one desire.

The one appointed over hell, whose name is Dumah, several tens of thousands of sabotaging angels are with him (Introduction to The Book of Zohar “Laila de Kalah [On the Night of the Bride],” Item 131).
An angel is a spiritual, physical, or practical, no matter what kind of, action.
In other words, angels are positive and negative forces within a person that result in his good and evil actions. After all, everything starts with a thought: either good or bad.
Question: What is hell?
Answer: Usually we interpret this concept in accordance with our not quite normal ideas imposed by different traditions.
In fact, it is something like a court where a person is judged for his good or evil actions, thoughts, and desires.
