The correction of souls proceeds from the subtle vessels to the coarse ones. First, the subtle part of the soul, called “Israel,” receives the Torah, and then, through connection and mutual inclusion with it, all souls, without exception, with great Aviut, join the condition of mutual guarantee and reach the state of “as one man with one heart.”

In order to move from fathers to sons, additional Aviut was needed, which they acquired during the Egyptian exile by mixing with the Egyptians and taking Kelim from them. In addition, some of the Egyptians joined Israel.

This means that due to their stay in Egypt, they multiplied, transformed from a family into a nation, and received additional Aviut through mixing and mutual inclusion.

The same applies to the last exile. It is said: “Israel went into exile only to add the souls of the nations to themselves.” The last exile among the nations of the world had the purpose of adding the coarse vessels to the subtle ones. Of course, the subtle vessels are also in descent, in decline; otherwise, it would not be called “exile.”

However, after the last exile, the same condition arises again as when leaving Egypt. Those who are ready to leave exile can achieve the status of “as one man with one heart,” and then the condition of mutual guarantee and receiving the Torah can be realized in them too.

The people of Israel must be the first to realize the method of adhesion with the Creator. This ideology stems from the general law of the entire universe and not what you are looking for, according to which law or method you want to live by. It is simply engraved in nature, and you cannot escape it.

You simply explain these laws to people, like physics or chemistry. You do not come to them as some kind of philosopher imagining that maybe it is this way or maybe not. And not even as a Jew.

You come as a scientist to show how the world exists, what the reason is for its creation, what goal it must reach, through what corrections and processes it moves from its beginning to its end.

You explain it like a scientist, from the side, in a completely objective form: “If you want, accept it; if you do not, do not accept it.” As if you saw a bacterium under a microscope and are explaining to the world how harmful or beneficial it is and what to do with it.

And when you explain everything in a cold, detached-from-yourself manner as if it does not concern you, then it becomes their task to translate the informational form into a sensory one. After all, their lives depend on it! So, let them receive it and do what they feel. You came simply to present the fact.

This is the most healthy approach. This is exactly how I explained things in lectures abroad: “I came to tell you what is happening. Are you familiar with these facts? Then look where it all comes from.”

I drew the map of the worlds and explained that this is science: “We are all in one pot, and no one will be helped by destroying others, and there’s no point in running away to find a quieter place in Madagascar, Uganda, or somewhere else. Nothing will help.”

And people accepted it because they saw how logical it is and that it comes from nature itself. We do not understand the power we have when we present all this clearly as a fact.

It is said that the Creator went from nation to nation, wishing to give the Torah for the correction of the qualities of the will to receive, but no one was able to accept it. Then He gave it to Israel, that is, to Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE).

Thus, there exist qualities called Galgalta ve Eynaim, and if they undergo a shattering together with the AHP and become mixed with it, then afterward, through them, it becomes possible to correct AHP, in other words, to bring the Torah to the nations of the world through Israel, as correction and fulfillment.

After all, the receiving vessels are, in fact, the purpose of creation, and their adhesion with the Creator is the desired final state.

Therefore, in correcting the souls after the shattering, when all these parts are intermixed, GE is corrected first, the category of Israel, which originally required no correction.

Still, it must be corrected so that, once extracted from the mixture and corrected, it serves as an auxiliary system intended solely to correct AHP.

Question: What, in essence, did we receive at the giving of the Torah?

Answer: At the giving of the Torah we deeply desired to become one man with one heart. But at the same time, we stood around the mountain of hatred, the mountain of egoism that had been revealed between us. Since we wanted to free ourselves from it and reach mutual love, we received the Torah.

If there are not many frictions between us, then we do not need the Torah, the force that corrects relationships between us. But if we discover mutual hatred toward each other and separation, like in today’s Israeli society, then we need the Torah, meaning the force of correction. That is why the wisdom of Kabbalah, which has been concealed for thousands of years, is now being revealed.

Kabbalah is being revealed precisely today because we have reached a state where we cannot manage without it. We must reveal all our mutual hatred in order to feel the need for the correcting force. Until the hatred is clearly revealed, the Torah is not needed.

That is why it is said: “I created the evil inclination”, meaning, we reveal our evil nature and egoistic attitude toward others, and then we need the Torah to correct it. For this reason, the Torah was given at Mount Sinai, the mountain of hatred.

Question: At Mount Sinai, did the people of Israel feel like one nation?

Answer: At Mount Sinai, we did not yet feel ourselves as one nation, but we were ready to come to that. Everyone was asked: “Do you agree to unite, or will this be your burial place?”

Question: What can we do if today’s Israeli society is so fractured that there are not even the slightest impulses toward unity?

Answer: That is exactly why the wisdom of Kabbalah is coming out of concealment and explaining to the people of Israel what their mission is. Otherwise, we will have no right to exist on this land. It is precisely now that the Ten Commandments proclaimed at Mount Sinai become highly relevant again.

After all, we have physically returned to the Land of Israel and have received the opportunity to reestablish an independent Jewish state on it. In the face of the division and hatred that are growing more and more between us every day, we are beginning to realize that we need the force of correction.

Question: What is the meaning of the holiday of the Giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and what does it mean that we have received the Torah? We do not seem to keep its commandments. It is rather the opposite. It says “do not steal”—we steal; “do not covet other’s property”—we covet.

How does the Torah relate to our lives today? Could the Creator have been mistaken when He gave the Torah specifically to the people of Israel?

Answer: There is giving of the Torah, and there is receiving it. The problem is that although the Torah was given to us, we never received it. Today’s Israeli society is very far from what it should be in living according to the laws of the Torah. Therefore we are still considered to be in exile.

Question: But we got the Torah, we have it!

Answer: We have the book that says “Torah,” but that is not enough. The Torah is the upper light that returns to the source. The light corrects our egoistic nature, and leads us to love and mutual participation, until we love others as ourselves.

This is called the realization of the Torah. The Torah is the light, as it is said: “I created the evil inclination and the Torah to correct it.” The Jewish people have the most developed egoism, and it is not for nothing that our people are called “stiff-necked.” Therefore we received the Torah for its correction—the light that reforms.

In the past, during the time of the First and Second Temples, the people of Israel used this light for correction. Later they fell from this level, which is called the destruction of the Temple, and they went into exile. It is an exile from a life based on the law of love of others.

Today no one even thinks about loving others anymore. Only the external traditions remain of the Torah.

Question: Have we not received the Torah yet because not everyone fulfills religious commandments?

Answer: We are not talking about religious commandments. The law of the Torah is to love one’s neighbor as oneself. Rabbi Akiva calls this the great rule of the Torah, which includes all other commandments. Therefore by fulfilling the commandments mechanically, a person should check: does this bring him closer to love of others, or does it maybe even alienate him? Does it create a split among the people and incite hatred?

Is this the Torah that we got? We have received the highest remedy, because the Torah is light, an upper force that affects us, if we fulfill special conditions. This force can correct our nature and allow us to open the upper world, to open our eyes and see where we really are.

The Torah is eternal, and with its help we can also achieve eternal life. But this is only on condition that we really find out what the true Torah and the commandment of loving one’s neighbor as oneself mean, which combines all the commandments.

Question: You say that in our nation, due to the subtlety of the Aviut (coarseness of the Kli), there is a readiness to perceive the spiritual idea. So how can we actually implement it so that people engage with it not only externally?

Answer: The readiness of the people of Israel (who are supposed to be the first to receive the Torah) stems from the fact that they are the subtlest part in the souls that began to emerge during the time of Abraham. At that time, out of all the souls in the world, this specific part that felt a connection to the upper light manifested itself.

From the collective assembly of souls, a kind of a “tribe” began to take shape, a group, a small handful of souls who, who due to their subtlety, began to correct themselves and managed to unite.

Who then are the “sons of Abraham” and the entire group that descended from him in the corporeal world? They are the consequences of the subtle souls emerging one after another again and again but on increasingly higher levels of Aviut.

In our world, this happens through the natural succession of fathers and sons. In one way or another, the souls that came from Abraham were clothed in the bodies of his descendants in the first, second, third generation, and so on.

And today, due to mutual inclusion, there are subtle souls among the nations of the world who feel the part of Israel that has mingled with them. And who knows the current state of the tribes of Israel at all; where are they all? We do not know this.

Suddenly, we are told: “Did you hear? In Pakistan, there are 25 million people related to the people of Israel.” And indeed, in the coming years, things will be revealed that we cannot even imagine today.

Ultimately, based on what we know today, we must certainly say that the part called “Jews” in this world is obligated to reach mutual guarantee (Arvut) by the root of their soul. This is their duty.

At the same time, there are parts of the nation that apparently do not bear this obligation. Therefore, we do not see them and do not know about them. Suddenly, Ethiopians or others appear among the nation. Many have not yet been revealed because their time has not come yet, even among the people of Israel themselves.

Question: How can Israel take upon itself the duty of mutual responsibility today?

Answer: Israel is obligated to be both an example and a source in relation to the entire world.

It must become a model of mutual responsibility, love, and striving for unity with the Creator. At the same time, it must be the source of the force that spreads the power to implement this throughout the world so that the entire world enters into mutual responsibility, love for others, and as a result, unity with the Creator.

What is important for us? Should we focus only on those who are currently called “Israel”? Or should we also engage with those who are within the nations of the world, or with the nations of the world within Israel, people we do not even know who they are? How can this be verified? By passport? That is a big question.

To belong to the nation of Israel has not always historically been determined by the mother and among the nations of the world by the father. This started relatively recently. So nationality is a very shaky concept. By what criteria can we decide who is Israel and who are the nations of the world? How should we relate to one or the other? And can we even relate to them based on the data available to us? Does this really correspond to the root of the soul?

Anyone who has studied history even a little sees how unstable all of this is and how lacking in a solid foundation.

In the Middle Ages, there were Kabbalists who taught Kabbalah to representatives of other nations, and just think what times those were! In accordance with spiritual laws, they determined who was called Israel and who were the nations of the world. After the spiritual shattering, such distinctions seemingly disappeared. Whoever has a spark of Israel awakened within, you can teach him, and he is capable of beginning the correction. That is one side of the matter.

On the other hand, we still must work with that part of the nation of Israel  that is connected to the external part of the Torah, with the practical observance of commandments without intention, and somehow we must convince them to engage in intention.

Baal HaSulam writes about this at the end of the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar.” He says that this is precisely the essence of correction. We are obligated to work with everyone who desires it, in all countries and among all nations without exception, even if we have no idea who they are or what they represent, that is, with anyone who has been awakened.

On the other hand, ultimately we will be forced to focus on the religious society, and within it to cause a shift in the perception of importance from the external to the internal. Baal HaSulam states in the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” that this is what will change the entire reality.

If, within the people of Israel, the very group that adheres to the external part of the Torah shifts its attention to the internal part, this will change the whole world. For then the inner part is corrected, and all other parts begin to align accordingly.

Thus, the work must proceed in two directions.

Question: Why should one not introduce emotion when explaining things to the masses if it can help attract an audience?

Answer: The point is that when you introduce emotion into an explanation, you introduce yourself, either your empty Kelim or Kelim that have been filled. But this is something personal.

And when you speak rationally, you are talking about facts, which are seemingly above emotion. Facts are facts. They are like faith above reason. Whether you like it or not, it is the law, it is reality. Then you pass it on to others as something independent of you or of them.

You are simply giving people the opportunity to see the law; whether they want to be for it or against it, that is their business. If not, we will enter another round of suffering. And the person will translate this into their own feelings.

I would say that this kind of dissemination is the best: you do not look inspired by what you are saying, but you speak as if your “self” has been removed from the topic altogether.

You are like a mechanism issuing information, and that is it. It does not matter whether you belong to the nation of Israel or to the nations of the world, you are like an auxiliary force, a sort of angel from heaven, telling people what is happening.

This is best, because then everyone feels that you are impartial.

But by being impartial, you speak to people in a way that awakens feelings in them. This is precisely the form we must find in dissemination, even though it both depends on us and does not depend on us.

Because life will soon become such that a person will immediately feel that here you have touched their innermost point.

Question: If a thought comes like light, but I don’t let it into the Kli, and it doesn’t become reality, but remains outside as light that I don’t give form to, can it be said that this emptiness already contains equivalence of form?

Can bestowal begin not from desire, but from emptiness?

Answer: I wouldn’t say so. Let’s work through the questions and answers together, and you’ll see that by the end of the convention, the path will become more or less clear to you, what we are asking for and how we plan to reach the end.

If I weren’t involved in dissemination, I wouldn’t leave the house. Ever. If we start asking ourselves whether the world is expecting this from us, whether it will look at it favorably…

How could the world possibly look at us favorably?! From the start, we must completely throw out any possibility of trying to accommodate that! We should only care about one thing: how to present ourselves as pleasantly as possible in their eyes, but without compromising our mission. No distortion, no substitution of the task.

“As pleasantly as possible” means that since it’s hard for them to grasp our idea, we should make it as easy as possible for them to perceive it. But aside from that, we must be like flint. This is what is entrusted to us, and this is what I do. People receive it just fine.

I have given lectures in various countries before thousands of people who had no favorable attitude toward me, toward Israel, or toward Kabbalah.

But when I explained that there is a difference between me and them, and that I had come to speak precisely about that difference, about the purpose of the world, why it exists, what I must do in it, and what you must do in it, and why for thousands of years we have been in this opposition, where it comes from and for what reason—they listened!

There is a willingness to listen because the problem is evident. Moreover, they responded calmly, without shouting, without voicing opposition not against me nor against the topic. They listened from beginning to end. The explanation was simple. This should always be our motto, the central message of every one of our presentations.

Otherwise, why did you come? To talk about the upper worlds? Why? Baal HaSulam says: What do I care how many angels are in heaven and what their names are? You came to speak about what truly concerns us, and that it concerns us for a reason. And the audience will listen.
