Rabbi Elazar, the son of Rabbi Shimon, writes that everyone must attain the condition of Arvut (mutual guarantee). We have no possibility of connecting souls into one Kli (vessel) other than through the correction between them, which is called Arvut.

Arvut is merely the realization of unity. It is not some artificial or secondary condition that has other causes. There is only one reason—the merging of souls in such a way that they become similar to the light and merge with it. It is very simple.

How can it be that some soul, some desire from those included in Adam HaRishon, would unite with the rest if not through Arvut, when it gives itself over to all the other souls as an inseparable part that is fused with them?

Of course, in our world this must find expression in such a form that both the nations of the world and Israel will ultimately be included in the law of Arvut.

During the exile, the people of Israel mixed with the nations of the world, and now the notions of “the people of Israel” and “the nations of the world” are such that we do not exactly know who is where. We do not know the tribes of Israel; we do not know how the mixing occurred.

Therefore there are many cases in which, among the so-called nations of the world, here and there we observe such an awakening that does not exist within the people of Israel. If some soul is awakening, this is a sign that it has already reached the possibility of fulfilling its role.

In other words, if someone is capable of taking the obligation to attain such a correction as Arvut upon themselves, they are called “Israel” in relation to all the others who have not yet reached this.

And those souls that have already attained or want to attain this must relate to the rest as to the nations of the world—to correct, to connect, and to care for them.

Such a division no longer corresponds to belonging to any nation; this division is more internal: one who strives toward the Creator is called “Israel” and one who still does not strive is called “nations of the world.”

It is said that the people of Israel were sent into exile only in order to attach the nations of the world to themselves. And we see that there are those in whom the desire for the Creator lives, and the part of Israel in them, as a result of the mixing, is very strong. There is nothing to be done; this is the result of the shattering and the exile, which were predetermined from above.
