A few words about the recent international Kabbalah congress as it was taking place: I sense a completely different spirit at this congress compared to the previous ones; there is a special aspiration by everyone toward universal unity, and I am within them. This does not require my external participation; the inner striving of all the friends is sufficient.

At the opening of the congress, each participant composed a prayer from the center of the group, and the friends asked that all the prayers include the teacher’s prayer.

My prayer is that we all feel ourselves gathered in one place, included in one heart, and we feel no separation. I do not think it takes enormous efforts to unite because we are already together.

There is no need for excessive tension; let everyone feel good and at ease. After all, we have done extensive preliminary work and lessons. Now we just need to slightly sense the connection, the unity, that we have already attained. We can enjoy this state precisely because we have earned it through the efforts we invested.

The congress is a consequence, not a place of work. It is an opportunity to thank the Creator. But nothing should obscure our desire for connection. For the three days of the congress, we can enjoy the fruits of the work we did beforehand.

However, the connection must be correct so that we do not begin to enjoy egoistically and fall. This is the enjoyment from unity in which we wish to unite with all our friends, the enjoyment from the connection that is being revealed.

Is there room for prayer in such a state? Certainly, for the feeling of unity reveals how insufficient it still is.

We thank the Creator for bringing us, through all our attempts and efforts to connect, to the feeling of how “pleasant it is to sit together.” This is a prayer of gratitude. The gathering of friends, the meal, everything should be in gratitude for the fact that the Creator gives us the opportunity to be connected with everyone, that He brought us to this congress and awakens the connection between us. Our gratitude itself will be the prayer.
