Today, I discussed the role of women and children at the upcoming Congress.
Read a transcript of the first part – “Children at the Congress”
Read a transcript of the second part – “Women at the Congress”
In addition, I had a conversation about how children all over the world should prepare for the Congress. Speaking with me was Gila Itsekson, coordinator of the children’s groups worldwide.

This Sunday I held another virtual lesson from 4:00pm until 5:00pm Israel time. The topic of the lesson was, “The importance of a Congress.”

Questions I received on the upcoming Congress and inner work:
Question: What is the best way to prepare for the upcoming Congress?
My Answer: You should study the materials from the last Congress (February 2008) and participate in the preparations for the upcoming Congress. Go through the materials about the Congress, and finally, you should be systematically present at our daily lessons (held between 3am and 6am Israel time), or at least at the third part (from 5am until 6am Israel time).
Question: I am trying to find the best way of studying for me. Can a student who’s attracted to his own sex and who studies Kabbalah regularly over the Internet, participate in the Congress that will take place in Israel (to actually come and be there together with everyone)? Can he participate in the Congress preparations? Can he sometimes attend a congress in other countries?
My Answer: Yes.
Question: What is the correct way to unite with the common system?
My Answer: Through the quality of bestowal.
Question continued: Is a person capable of this?
My Answer: Yes, if he does it through a group, by receiving Ohr Makif from above.
Question continued: What kind of force is this, and where can it be found?
My Answer: Only in the study of Kabbalah.
Question: If I understand that everything I do is for the Creator’s sake, and my intention is “for the sake of the Creator,” how can I use Kabbalah to achieve my purpose in life?
My Answer: If you’re already at a point where everything is for the Creator’s sake, then there’s nothing more for you to do…
Question: How is it possible to go from external love to inner love?
My Answer: The same way it is possible to go from egoism to altruism.

The eighth international Kabbalah Congress opens its doors to 6,000 students from 52 countries. This year’s Congress will be devoted to revealing a new, globalized world. It will be dedicated to unity, which will elevate this small “global village” above the flood of crises and into the spiritual world – unity with Nature or the Upper force.

The Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education and Research Institute is pleased to invite you to the International Kabbalah Congress taking place in Israel on February 2 – 4, 2009!
The 2009 International Kabbalah Congress will open its gates to more than 6000 Kabbalah students from over 52 countries across the world. The theme of the Congress is: “Connecting to Goodness.” Its goal is to connect our hearts, rise above the global crisis toward spirituality,obtain adhesion with nature (the Upper Force), and to reveal a new, spiritual world.
Why? Today the world needs a lifeline that will raise it above the crisis and suffering to a good existence and the revelation of the higher purpose of our lives. Our world doesn’t have such a lifeline. Only the Upper Light, which created us, can correct our nature. By uniting, we will realize the Kabbalistic method of correcting the world through the Upper Light.
The Congress will include my lessons, shared meals, workshops, friends’ gatherings, singing and cultural evenings
Everything is dedicated to the topic of unity and every person in attendance will have the opportunity to apply the principle of “Love thy friend as thyself.”
This year children and youth are also invited to the Congress and we have special activities planned for them.
We will be happy to see all those who understand that only by uniting can we set an example for the entire world.
The Congress in St. Louis showed that America is really waking up. Americans have always considered themselves a nation of pioneers, a nation that discovers something new. And that is what’s going to happen: America is going to tell the whole world about Kabbalah, about the correction of the world and the attainment of its goal. But first, we have to tell America about Kabbalah. Our North American groups showed that they are ready to do so.
Here are some memorable moments from the St. Louis Congress:
