Question: More and more facts of terrorist atrocities are being revealed now. They were horrific! We are not even seeing all the photos that might be posted someday.

We did a 14-minute-long program with you about this. People watched it to the end. It received lots of views, almost a million, in 24 hours. This has never happened before. It received a lot of warm and heartfelt support and a very large flow of curses.

“You are aggressors! You torture the Palestinian people! How dare you say that this territory needs to be resettled, that it cannot exist next to you!” And so on. I will not repeat it because you know all this very well. The first question is: how do you feel about this?

Answer: I take this evenly. Even if there were no criticism, I do not react to it. This is a natural response of people who are on the other side of justice.

This will stop if we become loving, mutually obliging, and so on. Otherwise, we will feel bad all the time. We can say that the nations of the world are leading us to correction with their own hands.

Question: And the fact that people are very distrustful of this—of the fact that everything will change, that Jews must change, this being chosen?

Answer: It seems truly incredible, but I believe that no matter what, we will turn into who we are meant to be.

Question: Do you mean “Love your neighbor as yourself”?

Answer: Yes. And then all the nations of the world will say: “Look what the Creator did to them.”

They will see that we are one nation treating each other with love and not with mutual hatred, demonstrations, and all sorts of antics. And they will be happy to approach us and learn from us about this opportunity to live in peace and love.

That is, we have no choice. The Creator again gives us an opportunity, an incredible opportunity, so that we can establish a good connection between us and Him.

I consider what happened to us a miracle. Because there were no guards, no front, no one! They could have just calmly slaughtered all of us. This is what the Creator showed us—how we kill ourselves with our opposition, contradiction, and discord between each other. It is terrible!

The only thing I would wish is to beg the Creator not to let His people go until they are corrected. You must be a Jew, be different, and then everything will work out for you.

Question: What do you mean by the word “Jew”?

Answer: Yehudi (Jew) comes from the word “Yehud” (unity).

Question: Then everything will work out for us and everything will work out for the world?

Answer: Yes. But now we still live in debt. The world is suffering because of us and yet forgives us. And all this comes from above.

So we have no right to make claims to the Creator.

The Creator will evidently show us that Israel cannot exist in exile, and will find no rest as the rest of the nations that mingled among the nations and found rest, and assimilated in them until no trace was left of them. Not so is the house of Israel. This nation will find no rest among the nations until it realizes the verse, “And from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him for you will demand Him with all your heart and all your soul.” (Baal HaSulam, article “Exile and Redemption,” “Harmony between Religion and the Law of Development or Blind Fate”).

Question: Why does he call it a sentence as a result of the judgment?

Answer: Because it is in this state when we are completely scattered, and divided, when we have no society, no country, no sense of something of ours that surrounds us, we come to realize that, in principle, that we are nothing and nobody, and from this state, we begin to rise.

Question: What does it mean to be strong today?

Answer: It means to be united. Nothing else! If we unite, then the Creator is with us.

Comment: You always have one answer.

My Response: Yes. We do not need anything else.

Question: What is unity? What do you mean by that word?

Answer: Unity is when everyone feels that they are for others and all are for one. There can be no slacking here. We should just stick together.

Question: On the one hand, you are saying what we have been saying since childhood. Remember the Three Musketeers? “One for all, all for one!” We really believed in this, loved this very much, and wanted to live like this. Where did all this disappear to later?

Answer: This disappeared because life pushed us to other values—everyone for himself and it does not matter how the others are. But now we are being taught, very seriously taught.

Question: Can this change only happen as a result of such teaching?

Answer: Of course. Otherwise, the Creator would not have given it to us.

Question: What is our move now? He made a move, a difficult, tragic one. What is our move?

Answer: Our move now is only to connect with each other and advance on the enemy.

Question: Is it correct to look at what is happening in the world and at the latest conflict currently taking place in Israel as if the Creator has increased the resolution like with a microscope and is showing me my attitude to the ten?

Answer: Yes. Each time the Creator increases the resolution, and thus we see past problems on an enlarged scale.

Question: What is colliding with what in my attitude to the ten?

Answer: There is a collision of your personal egoism with the force of bestowal and connection that is in the ten. These are the two forces that contradict each other.

Question: We have 1,300 dead, and a lot of prisoners and missing people. This is a terrible grief for loved ones and for the entire country. Once upon a time, the release of one prisoner was the concern of the whole country. Today we are talking about hundreds of people.

They are in constant fear. At the same time, they are in hope, powerlessness, and prayer, and they are kept somewhere under the ground in inhuman conditions. What would you tell them?

Answer: Hold on, we are coming to save you! Your main task is to hold out. Do not think about anything else.

Question: But you do understand that in this case hope with every passing day …?

Answer: Never mind. The Creator is above this.

Question: Are you saying that they should turn to the Creator at this moment?

Answer: Yes, they should turn to the Creator, and we should turn to the Creator so that this connection would be real.

Question: Tell me, what should our thoughts be about the prisoners? What should be our thoughts, the thoughts of the entire country, the leadership of the country, and the ones responsible for all this?

Answer: We need to save them, save our people who are being held captive somewhere, and do everything to ensure that they return home.

Question: Today the whole country [Israel] is talking about the spirit of unity that reigns and that the country should be permeated with. What do you think it means to raise the spirits of our soldiers?

Answer: It means showing them that the whole society is behind them, and nothing else is important to us, only that they are healthy and unharmed. And only in this way will we win.

Question: And what if there are, as we hear now, voices of doubt, accusations, etc.?

Answer: We just need to destroy such attempts to tear us apart, and we have to fight it.

Our children, relatives, and friends who are fighting should feel that the country is behind them!

Question: Should we pray for the people of Israel to unite because they are the most broken? How should you direct yourself correctly in this regard?

Answer: To direct oneself correctly means to aim for such a unification among themselves that every nation comes to understand that a bright future can only be in unification between them.

Only in this way will we attain everything we desire, except one thing—to rule over others, to dictate to others—and will each person to understand what one’s uniqueness is, what one’s work is, and what one should do in order to benefit others.

And others will do the same for him or her, and absolute mutual love and care for one another, everyone, and everything will reign.

This is inherent in nature, it is how it should and will be. Only all this depends on us today, how much we can get at least one step closer to this. For this reason, wars occur.

Question: Should we in our prayer, internally help the people of Israel in uniting among themselves?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary to unite at this level, defend ourselves, and correct ourselves. However, the most important thing for us is to disseminate this idea to all of humanity.

Gradually, the nations of the world will agree that we must live in friendship and cooperation, and in rapprochement between us. After all, there can be no progress in moving humanity forward otherwise.

Therefore, we are approaching a state where part of humanity will begin to understand that rapprochement between nations is necessary not only to avoid wars; it is a necessity coming from nature itself, from its source, the Creator.

The difficult situation in the country will force people to become interested in the wisdom of Kabbalah. Although they are accustomed to associating Kabbalah with some kind of miracles, mysticism, or rituals, in fact, Kabbalah teaches the structure of reality, which includes the entire universe, all people, all inanimate matter, plants, and animals, that is, the entire nature of the universe without exception.

We must understand that we live in a world that needs correction through unity. There is a lot of work ahead to oblige all the inhabitants of the world to think about this. There is no other way to reach the correction of the world and come to peace and tranquility, to a good life, so as not to be reincarnated in this world, which is falling to the lowest point of reality, unless we connect into one man with one heart.

A person must clearly realize this so that in the turmoil of this life, no matter how confused he is every day by the billions of people around him, he still does not become disconnected from the purpose of life and does not fall under the control of desires for wealth, power, knowledge or when his only concern is for food, sex, and family.

Question: If our world group comes to an internal war with its evil inclination, will it help the world?

Answer: Of course. Only in this way can we come to complete correction (Gmar Tikkun); it is only by fighting with our egoism and turning to the Creator so that He helps us in this.

Question: Is it possible to say that we see an external war because we cannot use the light attracted by us for greater connection?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why does a person fall into such feelings that the Creator does not help him?

Answer: Because he needs to invest much more of himself in connection with the Creator.

Question: The whole history of humanity is full of wars, terrible wars. The history of  Israel is full of wars. We know the Holocaust the Israeli people experienced during the War. It turns out that nothing helps, although it is constantly beaten. How much can it be beaten?

Answer: Until we get smarter and all the egoism is knocked out of us.

Question: Are there winners in war, and is it correct to say that reconciliation is the winner?

Answer: Only the Creator can act as the winner, and we want to see such a war. It is a war in which egoism will be defeated and peace will be restored throughout the Earth.
