Question: How can I verify that my prayer is sincere and that the Creator responds to it?

Answer: The Creator gives you such circumstances. What you feel in yourself as fulfillment is the Creator’s answer.

Question: What is this special prayer when I pray for a friend’s health? Sometimes no matter how much I ask, the friend remains sick. Something is happening that I cannot influence. How should I relate to this correctly?

Answer: You need to rise to the level where you can see that everything depends on you. Every person, all the people in the world, in every moment of life, depends entirely on you. So you just need to elevate this importance.

Question: How can we raise the Hissaron (deficiency) to the Creator through our friends in the group? What are the practical mechanics of this action?

Answer: The fact is that I cannot personally be connected with the Creator. I must achieve a connection with Him through the group, through my friends.

Only through the connection with them do we eventually reach the state where we turn to the Creator, and He can respond to us through these same states.

Question: In our world a diagnosis results from contact with a doctor. Does the revelation of the evil inclination testify to contact with the Creator?

Question: People come to Kabbalah with a point in the heart but few realize it. What does it depend on?

Answer: When a person comes to Kabbalah, one is in a state of confusion. On one hand it is said that the whole light is in the Torah, but to the contrary, they get the impression that there is no light in it for them.

Therefore, while studying it, they must be carried in the arms of their friends, who will revive, uplift, and pull them forward, and in this way, they will gradually be able to attain spiritual lights.

Question: Can we accelerate exiting descents by observing commandments in the corporeal world, in addition to studying and our connection?

Answer: I don’t know what you mean. In our world observing commandments is what we learn in the wisdom of Kabbalah: receiving the Creator’s light and getting closer to Him to bring Him contentment.

Question: When the Torah becomes the potion of death, should we try to avoid this state since we cannot immediately form the right intention? Or does this state come as a result of serious mistakes?

Answer: No, these states come from great effort and deep prayer.

Question: What does it mean to act on our own when there are doubts in decision-making?

Answer: You should act according to your spiritual state, and everything will work out for you.

Question: What is missing in longevity that exists in eternity?

Answer: In longevity, there is still unfinished work, while in eternity, this work is complete.

Question: If a ten already feels like it is in a state of dust, where should it start to rise?

Answer: From lifting itself from the dust, meaning by adding more and more desire to bestow, to fill, through actions and prayers, and thus elevate itself.

Question: How can I envy a friend correctly to connect with him and acquire his positive qualities?

Answer: We must be closer to each other and try, in our common desire for fulfillment, to wish our desires were spiritual, i.e., we must be connected to each other not through the intention to be fulfilled, but through using our desires only for bestowal.

Question: What is the spiritual envy of a true Kabbalist?

Answer: The spiritual envy of a true Kabbalist lies in his desire to help his friends in any way he can, and to be completely immersed in it.

Therefore, on Rosh Hashanah, one begins one’s work anew. Additionally, the days of the ten penitential days are called “days of forgiving and atonement of sins,” so a man will have every opportunity to join in the work of the Creator once more, even though he’s been so remote from the work (Rabash, Letter No. 34).

Question: What should I repent for after Rosh HaShanah if I have to cross out the past?

Answer: Based on how the present moment unfolds, you should determine your current state in relation to the Creator and attribute all your actions to that state.

Therefore, you have nothing else but to connect with your friends and inspire them toward the goal of creation. In this way, you justify the actions of the Creator.

Question: Should I also process the states that occurred before Rosh HaShanah?

Answer: No, but they serve as the foundation for what you feel now.

Question: What actions do you expect from us, as a group of ten, in the New Year? Should we bring you joy and through you bring pleasure to the Creator?

Answer: In the New Year, as in the previous year, as 50 or 150 years ago, the same conditions remain—that we desire to help each other ascend to the Creator with the intention of bringing Him pleasure and through our actions bring Him joy.

Question: You said that we must change the state of the world through our unity.

If during the holidays we offer a collective one-minute prayer during the lesson, could that help shift the state of the world?

Answer: If anything can help, it is a prayer. If we genuinely desire to unite and from that unity raise a prayer to the Creator—that is what is needed. Nothing else will help us.

Question: I feel some kind of mystery behind the number “600,000.” Is this feeling correct?

Answer: “600,000” is a purely symbolic marking of the number of souls that must unite to fully reveal the Shechina. Therefore, you should not cling to the number.

The main thing for us is to be together in mutual help and fulfillment of one another so that we can feel the entire Kli, the entire soul together. Then we will succeed.

Question: How can one open their heart to the Creator so that He takes us out of egoism?

Answer: This is precisely why we study the wisdom of Kabbalah. It is to understand how to receive everything the Creator wants to give us, which can only happen through the connection between us.

Therefore we must strive to connect above our egoistic desires, and to the same extent, the Creator can be revealed within us.

Question: How can one desire to know the Creator Himself and not just what He gives?

Answer: It depends on your readiness to connect with the Creator rather than receive from Him. You must be ready to accept what He wishes to give in order to connect with Him and bring Him contentment through that connection.

Question: What does “That which is revealed in Malchut is what is bestowed upon the lower ones” mean?

Answer: A person, on his or degree, reveals their desire to connect with the Creator and with the lower ones, meaning with the other friends. Then, the Creator is revealed within all of them together.

Question: What is the common desire of the ten directed at bestowal to the Creator?

Answer: It consists of the individual desires of the ten, which connect to be directed toward the Creator so that He would feel them. The desires connect without interfering with one another at all.
