The war reveals to our people [Israel] that everything depends on our connection. Everyone says that the enemies will retreat in the face our unity and that our separation gives them strength. Let us hope that the unity of the nation will only increase until complete correction without wars.

It is encouraging to see how the people of Israel have suddenly united, how people have begun to appreciate each other. No one needs to explain anything anymore. Every soldier on the front feels that he is in his place and wants to stay there. He feels better among his friends there than among ordinary people in the center of the country.

It is such a difficult path, but we are going through huge corrections, the whole nation is, and are honored with unity. When soldiers come home on leave, they say that real life is there, at the front, and they want to return quickly despite all the danger.

This is a huge lesson for all of us, and let us hope that it will leave an indelible mark in our hearts that will never be forgotten. The main thing is to be with all your heart and soul with those soldiers on the front line and pray for them.

At a time when unity and brotherhood are growing on the front, the discord that existed before the war is beginning again in the rear. But this contrast will help us realize how undesirable disunity is and will help us make the right decision.

To anyone who is fighting against a real, obvious enemy that wants to destroy us and throw us out of our land everything is clear. But there is also an inner enemy, and each of us will have to feel that he is standing against his egoism and must grab it and strangle it.

How can we recognize this inner enemy? It is very easy. Everything in me that helps me get closer to others is my friend, and everything that alienates me and awakens hatred for others is my enemy.

This war has softened the hearts of the people. But the nation of Israel has experienced such terrible catastrophes in its history and still has returned to separation. Let us hope that this time there will be no return to the old habits.

Question: What is the difference between experience, reason, and knowledge? Or is it the same thing?

Answer: Try to define experience, reason, and knowledge yourself, and you will see that they differ from each other.

These are not just three different words, but three states in a person and three completely different approaches to exploring our states.

Question: Is faith above these parameters, or is it based on one of them?

Answer: A person must create a platform within himself on which he will use the method of faith to study his states. That is the fourth approach to exploring the world.

Question: Are there states when you feel that you have to cancel all your knowledge or it will drag you down?

Answer: Yes, it is a lack of faith.

Question: How can you cancel your knowledge correctly? Do you have to forget everything you learned, what you knew, and start everything from scratch?

Answer: No, you just have to move in the quality of bestowal and relate to everyone based on that quality.

In order to attract knowledge for the sake of bestowal, we must strive for it and at the same time for knowledge in order to be above. In this way we will obtain this stage.

Question: Is there a difference in what kind of knowledge to strive for?

Answer: You do not know this yet. Strive, and as a result, it will lead you to the desired result.

It is known that the Sitra Achra has no lights…. Therefore, as one rises from one’s bed daily and washes oneself to purify his body from the filth of the body, so one should wash oneself from the filth of the Klipa (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 59 “Concerning the Staff and the Serpent”).

Question: It is said that Sitra Achra (Klipa, evil spirits) does not have its own lights, but at the same time we can easily fall under its power.

Where does the Klipa get its strength and power without lights?

Answer: From us, because our egoism works for the Sitra Achra. And only if we go against it do we gradually weaken it.

To do this, we need to unite in a ten, accept the desires of the ten as higher than our own, and so continue to advance.

Question: How should we discover the desire and striving for the Creator: in faith above reason or in reason?

Answer: Both in reason and in faith above reason. With a bit of luck, you will figure it out.

Question: Through what actions can a person gain mercy in the eyes of the Creator?

Answer: Only through love for his friends.

Question: Can Bnei Baruch be called the spiritual world?

Answer: Of course. Bnei Baruch is a separate part of our world that strives for universal connection.

Question: What is the rigor of the performance of actions in improving the ten?

Answer: For all of you to be as close to each other as possible.

Question: Before entering Israel, Moses taught the people the laws of the Torah. How can we adopt these laws in a new way so that we can change egoism to bestowal?

Answer: “Love your neighbor as yourself” needs to be checked every day. How committed you are to this principle?

Question: How do we correct the Kelim (vessels) of the Egyptians in practice?

Each of us lives in our own “Egypt” and at the same time we strive to connect with our friends during the lessons. And it is like two different worlds. How can we correct these Kelim?

Answer: Try to connect with other friends with your Kelim and thus feel the common Kli in your unity. And it will already pull you up.

Question: It is said that the best way to increase the desire is to fall into egoism. Where is the guarantee that when I fall Moses and Aaron will come and get me out of there with my big desires?

Answer: It depends on how you work. You must descend into egoism with the intention, with the hope of, pulling out new Kelim from there with which you can move forward.

Question: How and with what can we compensate for the lack of feeling that the Creator is our source and constantly turn to Him, like in the example of a mother and child?

Our sages said, “He who comes to purify is aided.” The Zohar asks, “How is he aided?” and it replies, “with a holy soul (Rabash. Article No. 41, 1990. “What Are the Light Mitzvot that a Person Tramples with His Heels, in the Work?”).

As a result of all his efforts in spiritual work, a person gets help from not turning off the path and adhering to the rule “just do not leave.” He cannot leave the group, the ten, and continue to move forward.

Question: What does it mean he is helped with a holy soul? What happens to him at the same time?

Answer: He opens his eyes a little and rises a little higher up the steps of the ladder of spiritual elevation.

Question: But is it revealed to him as a gift for his work or from the fact that he made an effort and found, i.e., earned?

Answer: It does not matter, either this or that. We cannot determine exactly why we received this or that attitude from above.

Question: Is the help of the holy soul carried out as a once-in-a-lifetime exit from Egypt? Or can it happen systematically?

Answer: No, it happens at specific points along the way.

Question: What does it mean to fulfill the desires of the friends I have incorporated in?

Answer: This means that you can make calculations on how to fulfill the desires of your friends, then make Zivug de Hakaa (coupling with striking) with the upper light, and fill these desires with it. It is not an easy job.

This is how you connect with all your friends. They feel that they exist in one desire, and from this desire they come into contact with the Creator. That is, you all perform a common action together.

Zivug de Hakaa is the result of the fact that you want to receive all the light into all the Kelim of the group with the intention for the sake of the Creator.
