Question: Today, children are also taught to share and to give in school, but when they go out into the world, they fall under the influence of different values. What should we add to the existing education system in order to form a human being and not just a specialist?

Answer: A typical contemporary school cannot raise a human being or instill the right attitude toward others because this is possible only through the proper environment (society) that must first be created around the students.

No school in the world sets this as a goal. Students everywhere are taught to achieve formal success in exams, to win competitions, and to step over others. The main goal in life is to succeed and to acquire a profession that will bring the highest income possible.

This was the right approach in a competitive society. But today, we have entered an integral society where the law is: “It is not the strongest who conquers all, it is the one who unites with others who win (along with all).” Therefore the need has arisen to cultivate a new kind of human being, not an adversary of all, but a friend to all.

Raising this kind of person goes against our egoistic nature. Therefore, a special method (the wisdom of Kabbalah) and a means (the force of correction) are required. Otherwise, people will once again distort the idea of unity into a form of “Workers of the world, unite!” and will again try to build socialism or kibbutzes. As long as we act from within our inherent egoism, nothing else will come to mind.

Therefore, education is the fundamental problem of society. Without solving it, society will never rebuild itself as required by nature. And such rebuilding is possible only through the application of Kabbalistic principles.
