Question: The Creator gives one a place for faith and a place for work in the heart. How can we hold and expand this space? Is this our concern?

Answer: Yes, this is achieved by increasing the importance of the fact that the Creator is working on us.

Answer: It is when we humble ourselves, but we must be careful that it is done correctly and not artificially.

Answer: You should always try to find yourself in what you say and think.

Question: When we say that there are phenomena that can destroy us, that is, the Creator gives some kind of exercise that I have to disagree with, how can I not get confused here?

How can we on one hand agree and accept, and on the other hand to disagree with something that destroys us. What kind of support and priorities can there be?

Answer: The most important thing is that there should be no mutual hatred. That is, work on what attracts you to each other.

And then gradually the negative qualities themselves will move away from you, and the positive ones will manifest themselves. That is the way to act.

Question: How does annulment before the upper lead to bestowal?

Question: How do you hide yourself so that it is a pure bestowal?

Answer: It will come gradually.

Question: Each time we pray we compose a new prayer. Should we strive for some form of prayer, or does the fact that it is new every time indicate its imperfection?

Omer comes from the words “gathering sheaves,” which means connection.

The world is called “the six days of action and Shabbat [Sabbath],” which are seven Sefirot, and there is Hitkalelut [incorporation] of the Sefirot. Therefore, we must connect ourselves to the Creator on all the days of the years of our lives, which are seventy years, implying that each year comprises ten Sefirot. Rabash, Notes 938 “Concerning the Omer [Count]”

“Gathering sheaves” means to connect with each other so as to be in one bundle. Then we will be able to feel the attitude of the Creator toward us in this bundle (sheaf).

We all desire to reach one goal, and therefore we must strive only for it so that all our desires connect together. But it is the Creator who does this because we are not able to do it ourselves.

Question: How can we connect with the Creator in such a way as to acquire the quality of a certain Sefira from this sheaf?

Answer: It depends on the soul of each of us, on the desire of each person. For example, in striving to meet the Creator I attain Him in one way, and you follow your own path and attain Him in another way. But overall, each of us attains the root of our own soul.

Question: But the qualities in this sheaf, these Sefirot, are they still common?

Answer: Each person has their own.

Question: How can I reach a certain quality from the seven Sefirot as a result of connecting our different qualities?

Answer: You should only strive for connection, and what will result from it, what will be revealed to you from your connection with the Creator, you will see for yourself.

Question: How can we bind ourselves to the Creator so that we won’t  break away from Him, at least for a long time?

Answer: When you are connected to each other and at the same time with the Creator, and you constantly monitor this connection so that it does not decrease in any case but only increases, then gradually you will form a permanent connection with the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to monitor this connection?

Answer: Make sure that it does not disappear anywhere.
