Comment: There is a factor in the classification of sects that the group separates itself from the rest of the world, for example, by clothing, food, a special language, and a clear regulation of behavior and interpersonal relations.

My Response: I do not see any peculiarities in the global Kabbalistic group. A person works like everyone else; he must have a family, children, and take care of them. He freely communicates with his parents and relatives, goes on vacation with his family.

He has a TV, radio, telephones at home, no one lives in isolation. We are disseminating to wider society. We do not have a specific dress code. No one is obliged to wear a Kippah if he does not wish to.

Our only peculiarity is that we study Kabbalah from three to six in the morning, but this is how all Kabbalists usually study.

We do not differ from others except for the internal behavior between each other. We must strive for connection with each other, for an internal connection of hearts. As the Torah says: “To be as one man with one heart.” This is our characteristic.

Nothing else is required from a person, only to support a friend by showing him the importance of the goal that is achieved by connection between us. That is all. We are no different from others. Only by this requirement. The member of the group undertakes to carry it out to the best of his ability.
