Question: How can the people of Israel feel their mission in this world?

Answer: First of all, the people of Israel must achieve their own correction. To the extent that they correct themselves, they will begin to understand what their role is in relation to all the broken vessels.

But Israel does not understand and cannot understand in advance what its function in creation is, since it is under the dominion of the AHP, the nations of the world, the broken Kelim.

Galgalta ve Eynaim cannot understand that there is some kind of work of bestowal here. To whom should one bestow? With what? Therefore when the people of Israel are in a state of shattering, what is the point of telling them: “You must correct the whole world!” ”What do I care about the whole world? Leave me alone.” Because of the lack of bestowing qualities, people do not feel the need to engage in someone else’s correction.

However, to the extent that they acquire the qualities of bestowal, that is, as GE return to their proper role, about which it is said: “You shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests,” they will reach the second stage, as it is said: “You shall be unto Me a holy nation.” But not before! Until then, they do not understand their function, and this is called being in a state of shattering.

Therefore, today we cannot expect the people to recognize what role they are to assume in this world. Perhaps they will be forced into it through suffering.

As of now, it is unclear to people that we must correct ourselves in order to correct the entire world. They only understand one thing: if we correct ourselves, without regard to the world, then the whole world and the Creator will treat us well. The second stage, which is hidden here, they do not yet perceive.

So it is not clear whether it is even worth speaking about the fact that we must become a light unto the nations, pass on to them the method of correction, and correct ourselves together with them. This becomes clear only when Bina truly attains the quality of bestowal, when it really becomes similar to the Creator, bestowing for the sake of bestowal, and seeks how to implement it.

Then it sees the necessity of the nations of the world and of connecting with them in order to correct them for the sake of the Creator. And benefit for the Creator means that the world will be corrected, that is, the nations of the world. To them He initially wished to give the Torah. Israel is present here only as a “conduit.”

However, at first all this is difficult to explain to the people of Israel, since they are in a state of shattering. But upon coming out of the shattering, they will begin to understand their task and their role in relation to the entire world.
