Everything you will hear, see, and feel at the convention, you must keep within yourself in order to pass on to others. In addition to lessons, you will have all kinds of virtual meetings. Try to briefly convey to each other your inspiration and desire for connection so that we are all in the same heart, meaning in the same desire.

We must give ourselves to the common desire to unite, so that everyone connects through us and there is a single desire in which we reveal the Creator.

To give oneself means not to have any desires of your own, but only the desire to connect everyone.

Question: How can we create such an atmosphere at the convention that the state of connection is our only desire and nothing distracts us from it?

Answer: You enter the convention completely empty of all your duties, deeds, and thoughts. There is nothing but thoughts of unity, only about it, nothing else.

Question: How do we seriously approach the work of creating a unified desire?

Answer: You must agree on this with each other before the convention—don’t utter empty words but only what is necessary to connect your hearts.

Question: What should our attack on connection look like during the convention?

Answer: To connect with each other so that there is no free space either in everyone’s heart or between us. We will succeed; you will see. You will suddenly feel that you have the strength, the desire, and the thoughts that you can do it.

Question: If there is a sense of detachment in relation to the connection, then what should our orientation be when everything is open and there is nothing definite?

Answer: You must break all the bad ties between you, instead restore good ties, and think only about how to turn into one big Kli together. You do not need anything else, just to become one single heart.

Question: What does it mean that as the differences are corrected they disappear? After all, everyone has their own root of the soul, and connection allows you to reveal even more clearly the individual characteristics of each desire.

Answer: Although the individual characteristics of each are revealed more clearly, the direction is the same. The meaning of spiritual ascent is for everyone to unite and create a single network that will connect all hearts.

Question: I feel like I do not know how to connect all the World Kli in my heart. But I know you can do it. Can I add my intention to yours?

Answer: Please, I am open to everyone in the world, absolutely everyone. Therefore, join me, I will join you, and together we will strive for complete connection.

Question: On the eve of the convention, I experience two states: excitement and joy. I would like to know which of them should I pay more attention to?

Answer: We should be glad that we have the opportunity to come a little closer to the Creator, and we are together on the path to this.

Question: What is this inner work of everyone at the convention that will be broadcast outwardly so that those nearby can hear and see something from everyone about the work of the Creator?

Answer: We need to feel our desire in such a way that it comes from the heart and affects the desires of everyone. After all, we want to be so connected with each other that everything that we have in our hearts is fulfilled.

How can we, together with our friends, invite the Creator to our meal? This is not difficult at all. The Creator is not proud and does not require a special invitation.

If we have even a slight desire for Him to be among us, He will come and be with us at our meal and at our gathering.

There is no force in the world softer, more yielding, more understanding, and more responsive to us than the Creator. Certainly, He will be with us at our Kabbalah convention.

But if we want to be with Him, that is a completely different and more complex question. For this, we need to acquire His qualities and get closer to Him together and feel this closeness as the greatest reward among all existing in reality.

Then we have this chance. However, only to the extent that we are ready to become similar to Him, to this force, which is immense not because of its great power, but due to the willingness to lower Himself and secretly help each of us in such a way that we do not feel it. This is entirely opposite to our egoistic nature.

Michael Laitman on the Times of Israel: “World Kabbalah Convention, January 2024”
World Kabbalah Convention, January 2024

We have just finished our World Kabbalah Convention with Kabbalah students attending from all around the world. Everything we did—the study, the meals, the social discussions and the songs—was aimed at a heart-to-heart connection to reach a whole prayer.

It was truly the first convention of its kind in its profound internality. It was something indeed very special, and it now serves as an example for the future.

Around the world, students connected virtually from dozens of countries, and in some cases, students traveled long distances to gather physically in mirror conventions in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Florida, Toronto, Guadalajara, Sao Paulo, Santiago, Togo, Barcelona, Dordrecht, Vilnius, Minsk, Tbilisi, Kyiv, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Crimea, Vladivostok, Baku, Budišov, Astana and Almaty.

In Israel, over 1,600 students gathered in our center from all over the country, including many evacuees from the north and the south, as well as many with sons and daughters serving in the army. Along with the difficult states we are experiencing in Israel and around the world, the heartfelt connection we established at this convention was sure to bring great contentment and joy to the Creator. I hope that we continue turning to the Creator, and that we will continue supporting and encouraging each other to positively connect and continue bringing the Creator contentment.

Question: I want to become similar to the Creator. What particularly attracts and gives me greatness of the Creator is His self-annulment, His humility, and the fact that He does everything and does not manifest Himself anywhere. How can one achieve this annulment, how can one achieve such a blessing?

Answer: It happens naturally. When a person engages in Kabbalah correctly, under the influence of the upper light, he receives such an impact from above that he becomes humble. What does he need? Just to lean on the Creator. This means to desire nothing except that all the goodness emanating from the Creator into this world will pass through the soil and the shoots will sprout.

Question: We are approaching the convention now. What advice would you give on how to achieve this annulment in the world group right at the convention?

Answer: Think that we all must be together in mutual annulment toward each other, and then from us will grow exactly the crop that needs to grow in the field and will feed all people in the world, both spiritually and physically.

Question: How can the world Kli tens properly merge into the convention?

Answer: I open my heart to everyone. Let everyone enter it. Everything that I receive from the Creator, I am ready to give to everyone. I constantly take care of this connection between us. Then we will succeed.

Question: But we will go through many different states at the convention. Something will distract me, maybe even throw me out of the state of unity. How do I stick to this particular point?

Answer: Don’t get distracted. Stick to all the hearts, gather them in your hands, and hold them together as one common heart. This is the only way you will feel constantly connected with the whole Kli and with the Creator. The main thing is to think about unity, about the common heart of the convention.

Question: Precisely when I work in the ten?

Answer: You don’t work in the ten, you work in everyone.

Question: Now at the convention, we will gather with friends in the tens and try to feel the internal connections between us. How can we come together to the first condition of the prayer that only the Creator can correct us?

Answer: Talk about this with your friends and make sure that they think the same way that only the Creator can correct your condition.

Question: And how can we together with the whole world Kli cultivate this common cry?

Answer: To do this, you should try together to get as close to each other as possible, embrace everyone, feel the vibrations of your friends, and unite with them so that there is no space between you.

Come together, bring yourself closer to a global connection, and we will make a big correction in the world.
