“He is one” means the light of Ein Sof. “His name is one” means the desire to enjoy included there without any change whatsoever. Understand what our sages implied, that “His name” is desire in Gematria, meaning the “desire to enjoy” (Baal HaSulam. Study of the Ten Sefirot (TES). Vol. 1. Part 1. Inner Observation).
His name is the light that comes from the Creator and fills the creation. According to how a person feels what he receives, he calls it the name of the Creator. That is, the name is what the Creator wants the creation to feel within itself.
Every time the desire must bring itself to correspondence with His name. In this way, we get to know the Creator from different directions because He is manifested in different forms. The desire is also manifested in different ways so that we become acquainted from all sides with the one who carries this desire.
Question: This desire grows with yearning and longing in a person and causes the revelation of Reshimot. When we come to the ten, are the Reshimot revealed there as well?
Answer: Yes, it is something similar to that.
Question: What should I pay attention to during the connection?
Answer: Pay attention to what extent our hearts are impressed by our coming closer together.

Question: Is it possible to ask the Creator for a state of accelerating time (Achishena)? Or is this state a reward for our work?
Answer: In principle, we should try to constantly be in the same action as the Creator, to agree with His governance.
Our task is to become included in His governance and be in the same direction all the time, to act the way the Creator wants us to. Then we will enter the state of adhesion with the Creator.

The bottom Hey in HaVaYaH is Malchut, meaning phase four, the complete manifestation of the act in the vessel of reception that has intensified to extend more abundance than its measure of expansion from Bina. (Baal HaSulam, “Study of the Ten Sefirot (TES)“. Vol. 1. Part 1. Inner Observation)
Question: What is the meaning of the fact that Malchut has intensified to extend more abundance and a greater measure of its expansion from Bina?
Answer: Malchut is a greater desire than Bina, as it is written, “the cow wants to nurse more than the calf wants to suckle.” This happens when the desire of the upper one to bestow is revealed more than the lower one wants to receive, and from this Malchut grows in its desire to receive in order to stay in contact with Keter.
Comment: But they are completely different.
My Response: It does not matter. One bestows and the other receives, but one serves the other. If Malchut has no desire to receive, who will receive from Keter? If there is no desire to bestow in Keter, then where will Malchut receive from? It does not matter that they are opposites. Opposites just complement each other.
Question: It is still unclear why Malchut and Bina are designated by the same letter.
Answer: The first Hey is Bina, and the lower Hey is Malchut. The desire to receive, in fact, operates in both, but in a different style. In Bina, it receives to reveal all the abundance from above, and in Malchut, in order to receive all this abundance.

Question: What is happening now in Israel and in the world is all from the Creator. The feeling is that only the ten, the importance of the goal, and Kabbalah can help us save ourselves.
In the ten, we compose a prayer to the Creator to free our hostages so that the soldiers return home alive, so that peace would come.
What request can we raise to the Creator from our connection to somehow influence Him and the world?
Answer: We can only act in the direction of unity among all the members of Bnei Baruch throughout the world so that we all unite as much as possible and ask the Creator to reveal Himself within our connection.
Let each of you request in your heart that you want to get closer to each other, incorporate together in one desire, and turn with it to the Creator so that He unites you and connects everyone within Himself. Ask for it to happen here and now.

Question: Can actions of bestowal feel like sweetness? Or is bitterness an indicator of bestowal in our work?
Answer: In our work, the indicator of bestowal is our desire to connect and reveal the Creator in this connection. We want to present our connection to Him as a dish, as a gift, as a place where He can reveal Himself.
Question: The harder the work for the Creator, the better its result. Where is the pleasure we receive from working for the Creator? How does it fit together?
Answer: It is very simple, the harder the work, the more we can invest in it and, accordingly, receive more. From this, pleasure arises.

Comment: In Rabash’s article “What is Peace in the Work” it is said that the point of our union, which we are all striving for, is coming to peace with the Creator, that is, concluding a union with Him so that he can help us abolish our nature of receiving for ourselves.
My Response: Yes, this is the point of our unity.
In order to build this circle in a ten and from its center turn to the Creator, we must try to be together all the time, to unite into one whole, as they say, into one person with a single desire for one goal.
And so gradually we will have a common desire for this. That is, we will demand that the Creator help us unite to become one and in this form reach the goal.

Question: In Rabash’s article “What Does It Mean that the Creation of the World Was by Largess,” it is said that when a person connects the name of heaven, i.e., the Creator, with something else, he is eradicated from the world.
How can one turn to the Creator so as not to connect any egoistic desires and intentions with Him, but only to ask for bestowal?
Answer: Only if you ask for the benefit of people and not for yourself, then you will have the right request aimed at ensuring that He fills creation. But the Creator Himself does not need anything.
Question: But when you stand before the king who can give you everything and answer all your questions, how can you not take advantage of this for yourself and ask only for your friends? How does a Kabbalist choose bestowal?
Answer: He gradually gets closer to it by making a restriction, and building a screen and reflected light.
Question: What is the energy that drives us to achieve this?
Answer: The importance of the Creator, His greatness.

The whole of reality was emanated and created with a single thought. It is the operator; it is the very operation; it is the sought-after reward,, and it is the essence of the labor (Baal HaSulam, Study of the Ten Sefirot, Vol. 1, Part 1, Inner Observation)
This thought of creation contains everything from the beginning to the end, in all forms.
Question: Do my efforts and my reward also belong to this thought?
Answer: No, we are not talking about us, but about the Creator, about the light that comes from the Creator and builds the entire creation.
The reward is inside this light. The Creator causes certain actions in the creation, and He also fills the created beings with light.
