Question: There are generations of Boomers, X, Z, and Y. Now the Alpha generation is growing up. How do we create material that will be interesting to them?
Answer: I think the most important thing for you is to study the wisdom of Kabbalah itself, delve deeply into it, and try to connect it with the questions you receive from the world. It is very important to stay connected with your friends so that from your connection with them, you can form the right answers to all questions.
The point is that by immersing yourself in your friends and the connection with them, you will feel a kind of pleasure that fills you and explains everything to you. This is what you need to reach. When you reach this state, you will have the right foundation for moving forward.

Question: If what happens outside reflects my inner world and the boundaries I see in the external world are a reflection of my inner boundaries, how can I break them?
Do I need to break them to correct the world?
Answer: You do not need to break anything or even think about whether you are breaking or building.
Question: But what if these internal and external boundaries I see prevent me from living?
Answer: You need to sort this out. By studying Kabbalah you can create such frameworks within yourself in which you will correctly feel the Creator and the universe and be comfortable within this framework.

Comment: At a congress every friend from the world group has a special opportunity to take part in kitchen duty. This opportunity is given only once. It lets us together form the right intention and opportunity and use it to connect with each other, which will delight the Creator and everyone at the congress.
My Response: Even if someone came from who knows where, can they only have kitchen duty once?!
Comment: Unfortunately, everyone gets only one chance of three hours to selflessly give to all the friends in the kitchen over the three days of the congress.
My Response: This is a big deal! These three hours are like three hours of continuous prayer. Maybe we do not understand this, so we just need to accept that it is so.
That is the most effective way to enter the upper world. Give these three hours all your heart and energy! Maybe this is why everyone came to the congress.

Question: You once said that Israel is a very small compared to other nations. Will this ratio remain until the final correction (Gmar Tikkun)? Or will everyone become “Israel” in the end?
Answer: Clearly there are few of us in numbers, but inside Israel, it feels precisely like this. The longer you live here, and I have been living here for 40 years, the more you feel there not much difference between Hebrew-speaking, Russian-speaking, and people from other countries.
There is such a melting pot here that everything together turns into one “dish.” Therefore, I do not think that Russian-speaking immigrants will play a big role in the future, only if many of them were to come, and not many are coming.
Question: I am not asking about the Russian-speaking population, but about Israel. Will everyone become “Israel” in the final correction? Or will there be a certain part that will connect with other nations and with the Creator, fulfilling the role of “Israel?”
Answer: This will probably continue until final correction. Afterward, this may change.

Question: What is our role as Russian-speaking Israelis in influencing the Russian-speaking population of the country? How important is it for us to disseminate to them?
Answer: The Russian-speaking community in Israel is very large. Moreover, it is wide spread outside of Israel. We publish many books in Russian and see that this is necessary. From time to time, these books are reprinted.
I think this will not disappear, and we will continue to teach and print books in Russian, not just in Russian, as many languages are spoken in Russia. If we want to reach people, we need to write in a language they understand.
Question: What are our advantages or perhaps disadvantages as Russian-speaking Israelis regarding the correction of Israeli society?
Answer: At one time I had high hopes for Russian-speaking immigrants. But over time they become ordinary Israelis and are only interested in their own affairs and their families. So I do not see any significant progress in working specifically with the Russian-speaking population in the future; however, many people among them are interested in Kabbalah.

Question: My question concerns forming habits. For example, one of my friends says that he does not feel compelled to get up in the mornings and that it is determined from above.
On the other hand you can take some actions in the evening, which will determine whether you get up for the morning lesson or not.
Answer: Yes of course. For example, I must get up. Why? Because I have a big day ahead; I need to prepare for the morning lesson, conduct the daytime lesson with you, and before that, give an interview for an hour. So I have to do all this and only have a little time left. Try it this way. Each of you should take on a group and lead it. That is the best thing.
Comment: Suppose I have no choice whether to take action or not, and other friends start advising me on how to do it.
My Response: Then you need to resort to actions that will pull you out of these states. The best thing is to be in the environment where you engage with others. Then you know that you are obligated; from this hour to this hour you are busy with this. Then for another hour you are busy with something else for some time.
And so you surrender yourself to the power of a schedule. That is essential. Without it, nothing will happen.

Question: How can we love people correctly in order to be worthy of the love of the Creator?
Answer: You must constantly convince yourself that to the extent that you are like the Creator in His attitude toward people, to that extent you will be close to Him. This is called the law of similarity of properties.
First, we are talking about love for the ten. To do this everyone in their ten must try to behave as they imagine the Creator behaves and demands the same from him or her. Gradually, a person will develop a feeling of the friends in his aspirations toward them, and the properties of the Creator, His love, and His qualities will be revealed in him.
Question: By loving our friends, we feel the love of the Creator. Is it the same love?
Answer: This is not the same love, not the same feelings, but gradually one will be combined with the other.

Adhering to the Creator is a task that must be achieved by each of us in this world. That is why we are gathering together. After all, if we existed as one person, like as our prototype Adam, we would not be able to achieve anything.
The fact is, our feelings come from egoistic qualities. But if we are in a state where we feel something outside of ourselves, then we can begin to work on ourselves.
Therefore, one person is not enough in the world, but several people are needed, at least ten. If we mean that we must attain complete union with the Creator, then it is possible only through ten stages, as we study from the four stages of direct light.
In other words, the originally created egoistic desire had to be divided into many parts. Depending on how much this desire develops and becomes more and more opposite to the Creator, we are divided into more and more particles, that is, people, each of whom carries an egoistic element that can be corrected.
If only a few people were not separated by egoism, this collective object would not be able to correct itself. Therefore, we are divided into structures such as individual atoms so that any combinations can be created from them.
That is similar to various chemical elements of which there are not so many, only slightly more than a hundred, and the multitude of compounds they create between them. The result is life in its endless, eternal, perfect movement.
The molecules of inanimate elements are connections of atoms. When molecules combine, they can produce something, generate something from themselves, and make their own copies.
From what the Creator created, we see that everything must break apart and fall to the lowest level and then assemble into atoms, atoms into molecules, then more complex structures in which life, reproduction, division, and so on appear.
