It is written in The Zohar, Noah (Item 2): “Come and see: ‘All of Israel have a portion in the world to come.’ (Rabash, “All of Israel Have a Portion in the Next World“).

Rabash explains what “all of Israel” means. Who is Israel? Israel is someone who has entered into a covenant with the Creator or aspires to this state. “Entering into a covenant” means that a person has achieved similarity of form with the Creator, that is, adhesion with Him.

Thus, the name “Israel” is given according to one’s desire for the Creator, even by the goal alone despite not yet having achieved it. This is the spiritual definition.

Of course, apart from the spiritual realm, we also live in the material world. But here, in accordance with the law of root and branch, there is another, material, definition of the concept of Israel. According to this definition, it is a person born to a Jewish mother.

However, when Kabbalists speak of Israel, they mean the inner part of a person, where he can truly make the only free choice he has—to adhere to the Creator based on his desire, by making an effort.
