Question: The congress is a big gathering. How can I feel that I have my ten at this huge congress?

Answer: The entire congress is one ten. All mankind is the Partzuf of Adam, his ten Sefirot. There are no more than ten parts.

The fact they are divided into tens, and tens, and more tens does not matter.

This is necessary so they all can make their own small, correct contribution to the common Kli.

Therefore, we must think about the general, because everyone at the congress wants to be together as one common whole.

Question: How can one understand that a group is advancing?

Answer: If with each passing day the ten experiences more and more revelation in understanding the entire system of the universe, then it is advancing. You simply need to study, read, and try to see the world through every article you learn, and then you will succeed.

Question: Does our connection extend to those friends who were with us but have left the community? Should we continue any relationships with them?

Answer: If they do not come, then there is no need to. You can reach out if there is a specific reason, but generally, you should not pull them back forcefully or try to persuade them to return.

Question: What determines the transition from receiving the light of mercy for oneself to love in connection with the environment?

Answer: A person must change their attitude toward society, toward people, and toward the group. Then they will develop the desire, the vessel (Kli), in which they will feel connection with the Creator.

Comment: We must perform a correction in our connection in the ten to become as one. But the main correction concerning the entire society, all of humanity, lies in including their vessels, as they are the most important.

My Response: No, we are not yet able to think about all of humanity or even about all of society in this way.

But at least within our groups, we must feel that we are preparing for this.

Question: What is the difference between religious people’s fear of the Creator and the Kabbalists’ fear of Him ?

Answer: The fear that religious people experience stems from the fear of punishment. On the other hand, Kabbalists do not have this type of fear. Instead, their fear is focused on the concern that they might not fulfill the will of the Creator.

A serious prayer is required to transition from the one type of fear to the other.

Question: From time to time, we feel fear of the Creator. How can we maintain this state consistently?

Answer: It depends on your environment, on your friends. If you all think about this together, it is as if you are keeping a ball in the air. Just as a team can keep a ball in the air when playing together, it is the same here.

Question: What do we need to do together so that we can build the Third Temple beyond what reality shows us?

Answer: We must regret that we are shattered, that there is no connection between us in our hearts and minds, and that we do not feel like one whole. Therefore, our condition is still far from being corrected.

But despite this, we must still move forward and hope that the Creator will gather us together and shine upon us, and then we will be corrected.

Question: On what basis does the holy community unite in order to become one whole and raise a perfect prayer?

Answer: On the basis that it desires to reach the Creator, to be close to Him, to influence Him, to receive from Him, and thus move forward toward the purpose of creation.

When a person is rewarded with a temporary illumination of Kedusha [holiness], it is considered that he has entered the Temple.

The ruin of the Temple is when the illumination is taken away from him. (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 566, “Cast Their Seed Among the Nations”).

Correctly using the glow of holiness means thinking only about the correction of the common Kli, the common soul, which is called Beit HaMikdash (Temple).

This is not a building that can be built in Jerusalem, but our common soul, which we create from all individual souls through unification, and inside it, in every heart, we prepare a place for the Creator.

You can sustain the glow with the help of prayer for correction, for merging of the hearts. We must unite all our individual desires into one desire, and the Creator will fill it.

“Fear of sin” means that he is observing everything only for his own sake, that the reason is for himself. “Fear of heaven” means that the reason is the Creator, that he observes Torah and Mitzvot because this is the Creator’s will (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 250, “Anyone in Whom There Is Fear of Heaven – 1”).

We must reach a state where all our organs, desires, and intentions agree with what we do. Then, we will come to the correct fear of heaven.

The root of genuine awe and fear of the Creator is the desire of a person to bestow to Him. They fear they might be unable to give themselves entirely to the Creator.

We must strive for our reverence and fear before the Creator to assist us in our spiritual work so that we can direct ourselves to Him.

The fear before our friends lies in wanting to see the same feelings in their attitude toward us as we express toward them.

Yet, this fear of heaven is akin to the fear of flesh and blood (Rabash, Notes, 250 “Anyone in Whom There Is Fear of Heaven – 1”).

Question: What does it mean that fear of the Creator is akin to the fear of people?

Answer: This is a complex degree. In our world, a person instinctively fears the authority and power of those around him. Therefore, one must strive to reach a state where he fears the Creator at least as much.

Question: What does it mean to fear the Creator? Regarding people it is clear: you see them, they affect you, and they can limit you in some way or punish you. But with the Creator, there must be some sort of connection?

Answer: Of course. Without a connection with the Creator, you cannot feel how He relates to you or what He does for you. Therefore, you will not be able to match Him in the relationship, “I am to the Creator, and He is to me.”

Question: For example, what does a thief fear? That he will be punished. But what is the correct fear concerning the Creator? Is it the fear that He will punish me, or is it the fear that I will fail to do something for Him, to show love?

Answer: Yes, all types of egoistic fear. Then ask for your fear to be above this, and when you receive it, you will understand that you have ascended.

Above egoistic fear is fear before the greatness of the Creator who rules everything and holds everything in His hands. All our states depend solely on Him.

Question: On the spiritual path we are often overwhelmed by contradictory impressions. How can we understand whether we are approaching the Creator or moving away from Him?

Answer: You can understand this by the level of connection you have. The closer you are to each other, the more you can imagine that the Creator is also close to you, even though He remains concealed from you.

Question: If there are contradictions or conflicts between us, does that mean there is a conflict with the Creator?

Answer: There may be conflicts, even many of them, but these do not necessarily hinder your connection with each other.

Love can withstand any conflict, so you should never break the connection. That is something very important to keep in mind.
