The Main Law Of The State

269Question: When does Israel, as a country, have the right to exist?

Answer: Only when we give the world the key to the happiness of mankind.

If we do not take the science of Kabbalah and don’t begin to disseminate it and present it to all the nations, we won’t become a light for them, we will lose the right to our existence here on this land as a nation, and we will be forced to leave here again.

We got the opportunity to come here just to set an example for the rest of humanity.

Comment: But even according to Kabbalah, there can no longer be exile.

My Response: But this is not exile. We haven’t even returned from it yet. In Kabbalah it is said that if we do not realize the dissemination of Kabbalah in the right way for all mankind, we will have to leave this place.

It has been given to us, but we have not received it yet, so our stay here is not considered a return from exile.

We have not received the Land of Israel, we have not created a Kabbalistic state here the way it was before according to the same principles. We have taken from the English and Turkish mandates the laws on which our state exists to this day. We judge people not by our ancient codex, but by English law.

Question: The State of Israel is a state that exists without a constitution, without a main law. What, then, should be its primary law?

Answer: “Love thy neighbor as thyself”! And nothing else. If we go from the highest point and then begin to arrange from the end to the beginning, then the highest point is to love your neighbor as yourself. As it is said: This is the most important, basic law of the Torah.

By the way, no one in the world argues with this, they just don’t want to implement it.

In principle, this should become the basic law of the state. And based on this, we have books that clearly describe how to implement the law “love your neighbor” at all levels: in education, culture, science, government, judicial, and legal activities—in everything.

Otherwise, we are not a nation. Otherwise, we are not a state. Because we were created exactly on this principle! After leaving Babylon, this is how we formed our society.

And the fact that Jews are now trying to imitate other nations of the world, to follow their path, does not lead to anything good.

We see that this causes anti-Semitism. We want to be like the others, and they subconsciously expect something completely different from us, wanting to see in us an example of how they can be like us.

But I hope, after all the dissemination that we have achieved in Israel, that we will be able to convey to people what we are really doing, what our national, vital, state credo is and how all this should live and work in the world.

Moreover, we see millions of students of our world society, including non-Jews, and there are many of them, and see to what extent they perceive this principle with understanding, joy, and respect. We have something to demonstrate: why and how this should happen.

We just need a little more time to make more efforts on our part. And we will reach a good state where the world realizes that it really has great perspectives and there is a key to happiness.

The Right To Exist Only If We Offer The Key To Happiness To All

961.2Question: In what case do Jews have the right to exist?

Answer: Only if they declare to the world that they truly have the key to the happiness of humanity, to its normal existence, to reach a perfect state, and offer it to the entire world.

If we do this, no matter how ridiculous or absurd it may seem, people will take it seriously.

After all, antisemitism toward such a small nation, which consists of an insignificant number of fifteen million people out of all of humanity, and the claims against them that they are the cause of all the world’s suffering, in principle, is a claim that this nation is special.

Nations of the world feel that we are special. Only so far, we are special in the bad sense of the word because we do not reveal the meaning of life, the possibility of reaching a real, eternal, perfect existence, thus limiting all other nations.

We are the cause of their suffering. They are absolutely right in this. Without the middle line, the nations of the world cannot come to the thought of creation. It is impossible.

All of us come from ancient Babylon. But only we took this middle line and the rest went on the way of egoistic development. Today we meet.

Hidden Descendants Of The Ancient Israelites

747.02Today, we see a huge number of people among different peoples who want to adopt the Kabbalistic methodology emerging all over the world. In this regard they are no different from the so-called native Jews, and they come to the same results.

Whether it is the root of their soul or not, no one knows because, as a result of the breakage of souls and the fall of the people of Israel, especially during the period of the First Temple, ten of the twelve tribes were lost. We do not know where they are today.

Therefore, there may be hundreds of millions of people in the world who come from the ancient Israelites since the time of the First Temple.

They live among the nations of the world and are mixed in with them. Imagine if today, after all the annihilations and catastrophes that Jewry has experienced, two tribes number fifteen million, how many would the ten tribes amount to without having undergone the annihilation nor catastrophes since the First Temple.

This is a huge number of people who in their spiritual essence belong to those souls who also must carry out corrections in the world. We just have to start, as if light a match, give a spark. After that, perhaps, interest and desire for the method of the correction of the world will flare up.

A Different Approach To Life

258During the time of the Roman Empire, the Jews lived according to completely different principles than the Romans. They did not have slavery. And although there was such a thing as a Jewish slave, it was written about that: when you get a slave, it’s worse than if you buy yourself a master.

After all, if the master has one pillow, he must give it to the slave. A slave is practically a guest in the house, which is very difficult to support because you need to constantly provide everything for him. If he is released, he must leave with his wife and children. That is, there has never been enslavement among the Jewish people.

We see this today. There are even jokes about the Israeli army, when a soldier can easily turn to a general: “Hello! How are you?” or something like that, because equality is in the blood of the people.

In addition, the attitude toward a woman, her position, and role, everything that exists today is completely different from what it was before. For all peoples, except for the Jews, it was absolute suppression. A woman was not considered a person at all.

And the Jews had very strict laws in this regard. When you marry a girl, you give her a wedding document, in which you undertake to support her.

As for Jewish children, there was not a single boy who did not start learning the alphabet and arithmetic from the age of three. Everyone without exception was extremely literate. We are talking about people who lived three to four thousand years ago!

There was none of this in Rome. At most, those who wanted to succeed went into sports. Although this was also not available to everyone. And those boys who were not well built or had physical defects were killed without any remorse.

Therefore, in all vitally important articles, we have a completely different approach of the two nations to life in general, the interpretation of existence, and life values.

The Ruling Mechanism In Ancient Israel

570Question: It is said that there is a paradox of power: As soon as we gain it, we lose some abilities. Let us say that empaths become insensitive, honest people become thieves, and professionals become incompetent. Even being in power for just four or five years is already a lot. For example, in ancient Rome and Greece, governors were changed every year.

How was it handled in ancient Israel? Were there any restrictions on those in power?

Answer: In ancient Israel, it was constantly changing. A person cannot be in power if he does not prove to others that he uses the power correctly and that he is morally and mentally superior to others. Therefore, his job was to demonstrate his superior abilities all the time.

For example, a king had to teach, be a judge, issue decrees, and justify them before the assembly. And the assembly consisted of 120 wise men who did not simply obey him; they objected and freely voted “for” or “against.” All this was very complicated.

In addition, there was a limitation of power both over the years and in various areas.

To Bring Correction To The World

214Question: What does it mean that the importance of the Jews is determined according to the speed of correction and the nations of the world according to the revelation of the Creator’s plan?

Answer: This means that we must work together! Now we are in a state where we must quickly correct ourselves and attract the peoples of the world in this. This is how it should be executed.

And if not, then the prophets say that this can happen through suffering, enormous suffering, even much greater than before. Kabbalah speaks about the possibility of an atomic war.

It turns out that the Jews are to blame for not bringing correction to our world in time. And yet I hope for a good, kind path.

The Soul Of A Jew

294.1Question: Will the soul of a Jew always be a Jew?

Answer: Yes, because these are the souls from Babylon who aspired to unite with each other and to unite with the Creator. They responded to this call because they belong to the thinnest, upper part of a single soul.

But with the collapse of the First and Second Temples, they fell from this spiritual level and mixed with all of humanity. We see how this mixture has reached such proportions that on every point of the globe they cannot forget about this small number of people, decide who they are, what they are, or what to do with them.

As a result, we come to a state where, through the revelation of Kabbalah, this group of people will be forced to rise again to the spiritual level and show the whole of humanity the same example that the rest of the Babylonians could not accept in ancient Babylon.

The Jewish souls cannot change because they are different in their root. They correspond to Galgalta ve Eynaim, the part of the common soul that is engaged in the implementation of correction. And the rest of the souls adjoin it and also engage in mutual correction, but with the help of the upper light, which they receive through this upper part.

This is by no means a disregard for the peoples of the world or a preference for some over others. It is just the way things are. By the way, as a result of the mixing of the Jews with the peoples of the world during the spiritual exile, the same states arise in other peoples as for the Jews, and they also rush upward.

We see such examples that took place in the ancient world. These are: Rabbi Akiva, Onkelos who gave us the Aramaic Targum (translation) of the Torah, and others. That is, there were souls who in past exiles received a spiritual gene from Galgalta ve Eynaim, were able to adapt it, and use it even better than the Jews.

According To Spiritual Laws

947The Jews are the people who left ancient Babylon, adopted the Kabbalistic method of existence, and settled down according to this method.

The Romans and the Greeks are parts of Babylon that took a different path and settled down according to their egoism. This is described in the books of the historian Flavius Josephus who lived in Rome and wrote Antiquities of the Jews.

Rome developed absolutely materialistically, in complete contrast to Jerusalem, because the Jews lived according to certain laws that were set originally from Abraham.

They were taught how to behave in the city, in the family, and in their circle, and also how to strictly observe the code aimed at equality, respect for each individual and his development. There was no difference between a poor man’s son and a rich man’s son. Each received the same education.

There was no such thing that a girl from a poor family without a dowry could not get married. This was always the concern of the whole community or city. Not a single girl, neither poor nor rich, remained unmarried.

All this was spelled out in the laws and was very clearly carried out because these are spiritual laws that speak of a maximally corrected society.

The king had to give an account to his people. In the Psalms, King David seems to cry to the Creator, “Look what I have to do as a king: judge and participate in all the showdowns. I am obliged, obliged, obliged…”.

The roots of this ideology originate in the spiritual where everyone is equal and interconnected and each completely determines the position and condition of each other.

Therefore, there is no small and there is no big, everything is a circle, a ball.

Clash Of Two Ideologies

Laitman_192Question: According to Kabbalah, what do Rome and Israel represent? There has been a constant confrontation between them throughout history?

Answer: There is a contradiction between the Creator and the created being, meaning between the Creator’s thought, His behavior, His quality of bestowal and love and the nature of the created being, which only wants to receive, to be satisfied, to enjoy, and to be fulfilled in its pride, strength, knowledge, and wealth.

Therefore, the entire essence, the whole philosophy of life, of ancient Israel, the group that emerged from Ancient Babylon and became a nation, was formed on the basis of equality, “love your neighbor as yourself,” and because of this it existed in the feeling of the upper force, in the understanding of its own development and the perspective of the ultimate purpose. All this was absolutely opposite to the barbarians.

The Romans were barbarians in terms of their attitude to life because they believed that life consists of the existence of the body and nothing more. Moreover, this philosophy was planted purposely, clearly, and soberly. It contained a lot from today’s concepts of attitude to life. At one time, the philosophy of the Romans was very popular in Nazi Germany.

The Romans indeed represented the most powerful, proud, and dominating force of egoism, which believed that conquest, suppression, and enslavement are the meaning of the existence of the people.

In Israel, however, the meaning of the existence of the people was completely different. The Romans could not agree with this. Thus, two attitudes to life, two philosophies, two foundations, two ideas, collided and war began between them, a terrible resistance.

There are contacts that are friendlier and less friendly. The Jewish people did not have such a thing that they shut themselves off from others. On the contrary, come and live like us. There was even a special place for other nations in the Temple. Today there is nothing left of this.

We are talking only about the ancient peoples, Jewish and Roman. We are talking only about the Romans, not today’s Italians. It should be noted that these are completely different nations.

“The Negev Summit: Israel As ‘A Light Unto Nations’” (Times Of Israel)

Michael Laitman, On The Times of Israel: “The Negev Summit: Israel as ‘A Light unto Nations’

The role of Israel as a connecting force in the Middle East is not a coincidence; fostering unity has been the essence of the people of Israel since time immemorial. As part of an historical summit in the Israeli Negev town of Sde Boker, top diplomats from Israel, the US, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Morocco have agreed to meet regularly to establish a permanent forum for the creation of “regional security architecture,” in light of the possible renewal of the Iranian nuclear deal.

The unprecedented forum is one of the results of the “Abraham Accords” which brought normalization of diplomatic ties between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, and Morocco. While the new Middle Eastern regional front will also focus on joint efforts in the areas of counterterrorism and defense, education, health, tourism, food, water, and energy, the main concern for Israel and its Arab allies is Tehran’s threat.

The State of Israel must do everything in its power to protect its security, both by forming alliances and by striving for additional political meetings, and there is no doubt that a unified security front in the Middle East can deter Iran. On a more internal level, if the people of Israel demonstrate a unified spiritual front against any threat, this will sooner or later neutralize it. Cohesion is the ultimate power for the redemption of people from troubles and torments. As the sages said, “When Israel are as one man with one heart, they are as a fortified wall against the forces of evil.”

And why exactly do we, the people of Israel, have the power to change complex and sticky situations? Because from our beginning about 3,800 years ago, we acquired from our ancestor Abraham in ancient Babylon a method of connection which taught us how to transcend the egoism that ruled us, how to rise above differences, and how to direct ourselves toward the supreme force of nature. Thus, “Israel” (from the Hebrew Yashar-El) means “straight” to “God,” and from its foundations, Israel has always been an ideological group aimed at being a unifying force in the world.

If we as the people of Israel were stronger on the inside in terms of cohesion, we would see significant results in all areas of life without the need for political agreements. However, as long as we are not united on the inner front–strongly connected in one heart–then there will be a vital need for our leaders to sign agreements on the political and security fronts.

Meanwhile, buds of the future role of Israel can also be seen forming on the physical level. Israel is revealing an extraordinary political feature of being at the center of every fateful conflict and threat–from the “Negev Summit” bringing the Middle East countries together over Iran, through the role of mediator between Russia and Ukraine, to the recent visits of the President of Israel to Turkey and the Israeli Army delegation to Morocco.

Israel is gradually gaining ground in taking up its rightful role as a connecting force between peoples. In the future it is also expected that Israel will formalize its physical and spiritual role to become a sort of international parliament and forum through which countries can communicate –a contemporary Sanhedrin reminiscent of the ancient assembly of sages in the Land of Israel. As the Jewish thinker Rav Kook said, “The purpose of Israel is to unite the whole world into one family.”

Countries all over the world will subconsciously continue to feel that Israel should function as the connecting factor between all nations and peoples, regardless of who leads the nation in turn. The world will continue to ask us to act as mediators. World demand will spur us to continue to perform the task entrusted to us since the days of our original agreement with Abraham, to truly become “A Light Unto Nations.”
