Why is it said that a soul like Baal HaSulam descends into our world only once in ten generations? The fact is, this soul is incredibly great, and its attainment requires tremendous effort.

Therefore, it descends into the world only once every few generations when there are many souls ready to rise from one spiritual degree to another. Through their collective effort, they can reach the heights described by Baal HaSulam.

Through all our efforts in studying the wisdom of Kabbalah and our actions toward unity, we wish to include ourselves in his soul, and to the extent that we achieve this inclusion, we can touch, even slightly, his greatness. Everything depends on our desire to rise above our current state and reach greater unity, through which alone we can attain spirituality.

By reaching a certain level of attaining this degree, we must try to clothe ourselves in Baal HaSulam’s spiritual garment, which is exceptionally high, hoping that the Creator will have mercy on us and allow us to understand, feel, and somehow glimpse this state.

That does not depend on us alone, but on the desire of the upper to reveal itself within us and, through us, influence all of humanity. We must not forget this, so that together we can feel this immense responsibility and strive to bring the whole world closer to the Creator.

Our group is the result of the work of the great Kabbalists who lived before us, who have extended to us the end of the thread that connects us to the Creator. We must grasp this thread and use it to ascend.

Through our closeness to one another, through connection and mutual inclusion, we will be able to feel more elevated qualities and higher states, and in doing so, we will oblige the Creator to raise us up to Him. That is already near, and we hope we will succeed in achieving it.
