Question: The Internet exhibited a chilling video about how the members of ISIS killed hundreds of children all at one time. It resembles a picture of Hitler’s genocide.

Is it not time for Israel to intervene in what is happening in Syria to try to stop the terrorism? We blame the world for being silent and not protecting the Jews during the Holocaust: Why are we ourselves now silent?

Answer: Israel is not able to be involved in what is happening in Syria because this conflict is an internal Arab matter. This endless war has continued for their entire history, but it will seem like an innocent prank in comparison to those actions that they are preparing for the world.

The scheme of the Islamic extremists is very simple: either all the infidels will disappear from the face of the Earth as if they never existed or they will agree to become Muslims. On the way to attaining this goal there could be different accounts.

They could wait as long as there is a chance that you will agree: they could pressure you and encourage you. It could be that in the meantime it will be possible for you not to become a Muslim on condition that you will regularly pay them a large ransom.

Question: Do you think that they are preparing terrorist activities that will be crueler than what we have seen in Paris?

Answer: If terrorist activities sometimes happen in the streets of Israel, it is clear to everyone that many more actions had been planned but were thwarted and uprooted by the security forces. Otherwise even more terrible events than what happened in Paris would have occurred in Israel. But they don’t tell us about it so that the people will not become frightened.

Question: They say that the Israeli army warned about the terrorist action that was about to happen in Paris.

Answer: Israel even warned in advance about the planned bombing of the Russian airplane.

Comment: Judging by what is happening, the terrorists are inhuman, heartless. Such terrible pictures that they have actually created in life could not have been made in the most morbid imagination.

Answer: The terrorists come out from another part of nature and want to frighten everyone. They aim to demonstrate how decisive they are and that they will not stop at anything. They are not concerned about anything: to live or die, the most important thing is that there is a purpose and it must be carried out. This purpose must be achieved here and now, at any price.

And so we see that more and more people join them every day. This is because people love power, a clear goal, an aim that is worth living for. When a person becomes fanatic, his life becomes very simple. This is because otherwise a modern person doesn’t feel any fulfillment in life, no purpose. Culture, education, and science don’t interest him, everything is in crisis, at an impasse. It is not clear what one should live for. And suddenly something in life begins to shine for them. As a result, many young people from the West come to join ISIS.

It is important for the terrorists to show themselves as strong and violent so no choice remains for a person but to join them. And the more brutally and decisively they act, despising all, the more attractive they become in the eyes of the young.

A recent example was reported in the news that a Russian girl from a good family, a student at a university, was stopped at the Turkish border on her way to Syria, where she wanted to be recruited by ISIS. Not even the attitude that some Muslims have towards women intimidated her.

In my column on Ynet:

Nobody “Deserves” This

The increase in Muslim terrorism is an outward sign further suggesting the world is out of balance. It is important to understand that the more the waves of violence continue, the peoples of the world will point an accusing finger at us. The answer lies in the connection between the people of Israel who are ready to change the fate of the entire world for the better

On Friday the 13^th, in France the penny dropped—this time it is an ideological war, “Islam against the Western world,” the analysts write. And truly, all the symbols of the west suffered one after the other. Beginning with the famous soccer stadium of Paris, cafes and fashionable restaurants, and ending with a popular rock club. The killing map was drawn as if to verify that they would succeed in striking all the symbols of the free world.

Meanwhile, Israel is accustomed to the daily attacks; the members of the Litman family (deceased), a father and his son who were on their way to a pre-wedding Sabbath celebration were murdered by a bloodthirsty terrorist. The other children in the family were saved only by a miracle.

The massacre in Paris caused mixed reactions in Israel. On the one hand, the horror, the pain of loss and bereavement, we are familiar with in daily Israeli life, aroused identification with the French in us. After all, we know the sad cries, the candles in the squares, the young who gather at makeshift memorials.

At the same time, other voices were heard: “Serves them right! Finally, they felt what we feel. Now they understand us.” Some went further and offered to send shipments of food and wine from Judea and Samaria. Yes, the very same products that the EU has decided to label only a few days before.

At the same time, a hidden hope spread among many that maybe now the Europeans “will understand us,” as brothers in times of trouble… But let’s not delude ourselves. Unfortunately, the more that Europe feels under attack, the more it will increase the hatred of Israel.

What is the difference between a terrorist strike in Paris and Israel?

The wave of terror in Paris is the first dark herald of the new situation that the world is entering. In the near future the pressure embedded congenitally in extremist Muslim circles will break out through terrifying attacks. The goal: to impose Islam on the entire world, Europe first.

The Book of Zohar predicted these processes over two thousand years ago, “And in the future the children of Ishmael will provoke great wars in the world” (Zohar for the People, Parshat VaYera). Even if on the surface it seems that the battles are between various Muslim denominations (Sunnis, Shiites), in practice all the dominations bow to the same ideology.

The increase of Muslim terrorism in the world is an outward sign further indicating a world out of balance.

According to The Book of Zohar, all of us are connected in a single network. In the current situation, the force that flows through this network is a negative force, which drags us into extreme separatism and hatred. In contrast, the positive forces that vitalize the network of connections between us—unity, concern and mutual concern—are concealed and aren’t flowing through it.

Increasing the Positive Force in the World

In contrast to the nations of the world who were assembled on national foundations, the Israeli nation was founded on an ideological basis. 4,000 years ago, in the days of our father Abraham, the original foundation that connected us was altruism. The character of the nation and the manner of its incorporation already dictated a historical role for us: to unite and inject positive, unifying forces into the network of connection among all the inhabitants of the world.

When we look into the dark abyss racing through the world today, the mission imposed upon us becomes clear. A connection between us is the only way to inject goodness into the world, to be a “light to the nations.” Therefore it is the only force that makes it possible to mitigate the evil that is presently expressed in Islamic terrorism. Connection among the people of Israel is able to change the fate of the entire world for the better. This is the real ideological war that is being waged today.

It is important for us to understand that the more that the world becomes flooded by waves of violence, the peoples of the world will turn to us with an accusing finger. The root of the hatred that has been burning in them for 2,000 years stems from an unexplainable feeling that we are the root of evil on the face of the Earth.

The attacks in Paris and Israel are a wake-up call for the whole world, and for us. To prevent the next bloodbath, we are compelled to connect and to stream the positive force, the force of connection, through us, which will counterbalance the negative force in the world. From the moment we begin to get closer to each other, our lives and those of the world will change for the good. The decision is in our hands.

The Appropriate Social Time

Let’s get used to connection between us in daily life: at home, in the workplace, on the street, and even in the supermarket. On the highway, for example, one can give the right of way to others, not honk at each other, and imagine that our favorite child drives the car in front of us.

Let’s begin to look at one another favorably, and the moment we identify our evil inclination drawing us into competition and exploitation instead of friendship and fraternity, we will catch it red-handed and silence it.

The first step is for us to recognize the egoistic nature in which we are acting. After we carry out a number of simple exercises like those that will be further detailed in the next articles, we see how change will happen among us in Israeli society and how the attitude of the world toward us will change.

Opinion (Dr Philip D. Jaffé): “If anti-Semitism develops without surveillance, the process will very rapidly lead to violence and death. …

“The Nazis created a belief that a numerically very small group, the Jews in Europe and in Germany, could ‘infect’ the Aryan race. …

“And the only way to prevent this situation was to annihilate all the Jews. …

“The Vatican and the Protestant churches filled the ranks of the anti-Semitic soldiers. …

“If the Pope had actively denounced the ideas of the superiority of the Aryan race, history would have been completely different. …

“Anti-Semitism as a phenomenon developed over a number of centuries. Kant, Schopenhauer, Hegel, Heidegger said that the Jews were the vampires of society. …

“Europe of the beginning of the 20^th century was convinced that all of the Jews were hatching a plot to dominate the economy of the world. …

“The Jews killed Jesus, and the phenomenon of the Inquisition in Spain was based upon this…. ‘Today the anti-Semites call Israel a Nazi nation in which the Jews are playing the role of the Nazis in the Middle East. Anti-Semitism has changed its face, but hasn’t disappeared anywhere.’”

My Comment: Next libel: The Jews directed the Muslims to conquer Europe to divert attention from themselves in Europe. So to the degree of the development of terrorism in Europe, anti-Semitism will continue to grow, and everyone will blame Israel. They will connect Muslim terrorism and the Jews!

In the world there is only one “whipping boy.” Because only from him, his commitment to the implementation of “Love thy neighbor as thyself,” the desire of the world is dependent to the same principle and the world’s attitude towards him. State of the world – a consequence of the state of Israel, especially when he was given for this country and the people.

In the world there is only one “whipping boy”—Israel. Because only from it, its commitment to implement “And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18), depends the yearning of the world for the same principle and the attitude of the world toward it. The situation in the world is a result of the state of the people of Israel, especially since they were given a nation and a people for this.

From my weekly column in Ynet, the largest Israeli news and general content website.

According to a recent survey, our children are traumatized. Sixty four percent of the children are afraid to leave their home, to be in public places, or walk to school, following exposure to violent videos released recently.

We are becoming dangerously indifferent from one bloody breaking news to another, and it is as if we are getting used to living in anxiety. It is insane to live in a reality in which a knife might be pulled out at any moment on a bus, a tram, an entrance to a mall, or on the street.

This difficult situation affects all aspects of our lives. The general fervor is heated by daily news videos of ordinary people being slaughtered by terrorists that shoot to kill. All this is live, immediate, and close. Not surprisingly, in these conditions, our senses are dulled. How can you cope with such a bizarre reality any differently?

And if troubles at home aren’t enough, Israel is also in the eye of the storm abroad. The foreign media set new records of anti-Semitism, and as a consolation prize, the EU decided to tag thousands of Israeli products with the intention to boycott Israel.

The World Depends On Israel

Hatred toward Israel is not a new phenomenon. We have known it for ages, regardless of the political situation. The attitude of the peoples of the world toward us has been the same for ages and it seems that it is rooted in nature. We have already realized that the more the world suffers, the more they point their finger at us with accusations, and the day is not far off when the whole world will hate us just like the Arabs do now.

According to Kabbalah, all of humanity connected in one network, and Israel has a decisive influence. The Book of Zohar states that the thoughts and actions of the people of Israel, positively or negatively, affect the fate of the whole world. Israel is responsible for all the evil in the world and it comes back to us in order to wake us up and force us to fulfill our role. On the other hand, when we act in favor of the world, we will immediately feel a positive response.

How Can We Change Our Fate for the Better?

First we have to realize that the key for changing our destiny is in our hands alone (as the whole world claims against us…), and then we begin to act, to make tremendous efforts to connect, to strengthen the network of connections between us, between non-religious and religious Jews, between new immigrants and veteran citizens, between those living in the center and those in the periphery, between everyone. We must begin to live as one man in one heart instead of tribes living here in an obscure federation.

When we connect, when we care for one another, we become a conductor for all the goodness that flows into the world. On the other hand, if we are hostile towards one another, we reflect evil into the world, which leads to terrible disasters unto all of humanity and ourselves. Mutual guarantee and caring for others is what determines what our life will be like tomorrow, what the world will look like, and what the response to that state will be.

Is it possible to connect? Every person we will turn to with this question will agree to connect, but will also add that it is impossible. This is true. We need a method in order to connect. This method is the wisdom of Kabbalah; a wisdom that is all about correcting the connection between people. When we study Kabbalah and show even the slightest desire to connect as a result, we already balance the forces that manage our lives. The inclination to love others inspires the positive force that spreads through us to all of humanity and calms it down. The peoples of the world subconsciously feel that and will be grateful to us.

Unity between us determines what the next breaking news will be!

***

The “Introduction to The Book of Zohar” (Items 66-71,) tells us how the connection among the people of Israel determines the fate of the world:

66) Bear in mind that in everything there is internality and externality. In the world in general, Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, are considered the internality of the world, and the seventy nations are considered the externality of the world. Also, there is internality within Israel themselves, which are the wholehearted workers of the Creator, and there is externality—those who do not devote themselves to the work of the Creator. Among the nations of the world, there is internality as well, which is, the righteous of the nations of the world, and there is externality, which are the rude and the harmful among them.

Additionally, among the servants of the Creator among the children of Israel, there is internality, being those rewarded with comprehension of the soul of the internality of the Torah and its secrets, and externality, who merely observe the practical part of the Torah.

Also, there is internality in every person from Israel—the Israel within—which is the point in the heart, and externality—which is the inner nations of the world, the body itself. But even the inner nations of the world in that person are considered proselytes, since by cleaving to the internality, they become like proselytes from among the nations of the world, that came and cleaved to the whole of Israel.

67) When a person from Israel enhances and dignifies one’s internality, which is the Israel in that person, over the externality, which are the nations of the world in him, that is, when one dedicates the majority of one’s efforts to enhance and exalt one’s internality, to benefit one’s soul, and gives minor efforts, the mere necessity, to sustain the nations of the world in him, meaning the bodily needs, as it is written (Avot, 1), “Make your Torah permanent and your labor temporary,” by so doing, one makes the children of Israel soar upwards in the internality and externality of the world as well, and the nations of the world, which are the externality, to recognize and acknowledge the value of the children of Israel.

And if, God forbid, it is to the contrary, and an individual from Israel enhances and appreciates one’s externality, which is the nations of the world in him, more than the inner Israel in him, as it is written (Deuteronomy 28), “The stranger that is in the midst of thee,” meaning the externality in that person rises and soars, and you yourself, the internality, the Israel in you, plunges down? With these actions, one causes the externality of the world in general—the nations of the world—to soar ever higher and overcome Israel, degrading them to the ground, and the children of Israel, the internality in the world, to plunge deep down.

68) Do not be surprised that one person’s actions bring elevation or decline to the whole world, for it is an unbending law that the general and the particular are as equal as two peas in a pod. And all that applies in the general applies in the particular, as well. Moreover, the parts make what is found in the whole, for the general can appear only after the appearance of the parts in it, according to the quantity and quality of the parts. Evidently, the value of an act of a part elevates or declines the entire whole.

That will clarify to you what is written in The Zohar, that by engagement in The Book of Zohar and the wisdom of truth, they will be rewarded with complete redemption from exile (Tikkunim, end of Tikkun No. 6). We might ask, what has the study of The Zohar to do with the redemption of Israel from among the nations?

69) From the above we can thoroughly understand that the Torah, too, contains internality and externality, as does the entire world. Therefore, one who engages in the Torah has these two degrees, as well. When one increases one’s toil in the internality of the Torah and its secrets, to that extent, one makes the virtue of the internality of the world—which are Israel—soar high above the externality of the world, which are the nations of the world. And all the nations will acknowledge and recognize Israel’s merit over them, until the realization of the words, “And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord” (Isaiah 14, 2), and also “Thus says the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my standard to the peoples: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried on their shoulders” (Isaiah 49, 22).

But if, God forbid, it is to the contrary, and a person from Israel degrades the virtue of the internality of the Torah and its secrets, which deals with the conduct of our souls and their degrees, and the perception and the tastes of the Mitzvot with regard to the advantage of the externality of the Torah, which deals only with the practical part? Also, even if one does occasionally engage in the internality of the Torah, and dedicates a little of one’s time to it, when it is neither night nor day, as though it were redundant, by that one dishonors and degrades the internality of the world, which are the children of Israel, and enhances the externality of the world—meaning the nations of the world—over them. They will humiliate and disgrace the children of Israel, and regard Israel as superfluous, as though the world has no need for them, God forbid.

Furthermore, by that, they make even the externality in the nations of the world overpower their own internality, for the worst among the nations of the world, the harmful and the destructors of the world, rise above their internality, which are the “righteous of the nations of the world.” And then they make all the ruin and the heinous slaughter our generation had witnessed, may God protect us from here on.

Thus you see that the redemption of Israel and the whole of Israel’s merit depend on the study of The Zohar and the internality of the Torah. And vice versa, all the destruction and the decline of the children of Israel are because they have abandoned the internality of the Torah. They have degraded its merit and made it seemingly redundant.

70) This is what is written in the Tikkunim (corrections) of The Zohar (Tikkun 30): “Awaken and rise for the holy divinity, for you have an empty heart, without the understanding to know and to attain it, although it is within you.” The meaning of it is, as it is written (Isaiah 40), that a voice pounds in the heart of each and every one of Israel, to cry and to pray for raising the holy divinity, which is the collection of all the souls of Israel. But Divinity says, “I have no strength to raise myself off the dust, for ‘all flesh is grass,’ they are all like beasts, eating hay and grass.” This means that they keep the Mitzvot mindlessly, like beasts, “and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field, all the good deeds that they do, they do for themselves.”

That means that with the Mitzvot they perform, they have no intention of doing them in order to bring contentment to their Maker. Rather, they keep the Mitzvot only for their own benefit, and even the best among them, who dedicate all their time to engagement in the Torah, do it only to benefit their own bodies, without the desirable aim—to bring contentment to their Maker.

It is said about the generation of that time: “A spirit leaves and will not return to the world,” meaning the spirit of the Messiah, who must deliver Israel from all their troubles until the complete redemption, to keep the words, “for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord.” That spirit had left and does not shine in the world.

Woe unto them that make the spirit of Messiah leave and depart from the world, and cannot return to the world. They are the ones that make the Torah dry, without any moisture of comprehension and reason. They confine themselves to the practical part of the Torah, and do not wish to try to understand the wisdom of Kabbalah, to know and to understand the secrets of the Torah and the flavors of Mitzva. Woe unto them, for with these actions they bring about the existence of poverty, ruin, and robbery, looting, killing, and destructions in the world.

71) The reason for their words is, as we have explained, that when all those who engage in the Torah degrade their own internality and the internality of the Torah, leaving it as though it were redundant in the world, and engage in it only at a time that is neither day nor night, and in this regard, they are like blind searching the wall, by that, they intensify their own externality, the benefit of their own bodies. Also, they consider the externality of the Torah higher than the internality of the Torah. And with these actions they cause all the forms of externality in the world to overpower all the internal parts in the world, each according to its essence.

This is so because the externality in the whole of Israel, meaning the nations of the world in them, overpowers and revokes the internality in the whole of Israel, which are those who are great in the Torah. Also, the externality in the nations of the world—the destructors among them—intensify and revoke the internality among them, which are the righteous of the nations of the world. Additionally, the externality of the entire world, being the nations of the world intensifies and revokes the children of Israel—the internality of the world.

In such a generation, all the destructors among the nations of the world raise their heads and wish primarily to destroy and to kill the children of Israel, as it is written (Yevamot 63), “No calamity comes to the world but for Israel.” This means, as it is written in the above corrections, that they cause poverty, ruin, robbery, killing, and destruction in the whole world.

And through our many faults, we have witnessed to all that is said in the above-mentioned Tikkunim, and moreover, the judgment struck the very best of us, as our sages said (Baba Kama).

60) “And it starts with the righteous first.” And of all the glory Israel had had in the countries of Poland and Lithuania, etc., there remains but the relics in our holy land. Now it is upon us, relics, to correct that dreadful wrong. Each of us remainders should take upon himself, heart and soul, to henceforth intensify the internality of the Torah, and give it its rightful place, according to its merit over the externality of the Torah.

And then, each and every one of us will be rewarded with intensifying his own internality, meaning the Israel within us, which is the needs of the soul over our own externality, which is the nations of the world within us, that is, the needs of the body. That force will come to the whole of Israel, until the nations of the world within us recognize and acknowledge the merit of the great sages of Israel over them, and will listen to them and obey them.

Also, the internality of the nations of the world, the righteous of the nations of the world, will overpower and submit their externality, which are the destructors. And the internality of the world, too, which are Israel, shall rise in all their merit and virtue over the externality of the world, which are the nations. Then, all the nations of the world will recognize and acknowledge Israel’s merit over them.

And they shall follow the words (Isaiah 14:2), “And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord.” And also (Isaiah 49:22), “And they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.” That is what is written in The Zohar (Nasoh, p 124b), “through this composition,” which is The Book of Zohar, “they will be delivered from exile with mercy.” Amen, will this be so.”

Question: People say that if the economic situation provides everyone with an equal standard of living, it will unite the nation because the competition that leads to separation will disappear.

Answer: I have never seen that wealth leads to unity. Prosperity does decrease the mutual hatred a little, but very relatively because everyone’s ego still obliges envy of others.

Even if everyone had an income of a million dollars a month, it would not help us love one another. Everyone simply would build a higher fence around his assets.

Nowhere in the world has equality led to unity. Equality is actually a notion that is impossible to reach because an egoistic person always will think that others have received more. Equality is possible only when everyone’s property is taken away, and they are put behind bars and given 400 grams of bread a day. Then, we would feel that we are equal.

All of these ideas are based on not knowing our egoistic nature, and being well off doesn’t guarantee good social relations. You can visit the most exclusive part of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, where the richest people live in order to find out what the mutual relations between them are like.

Question: So, what can unite the people?

Answer: The force of unity exists in nature on all of its levels. In the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking, there are two active forces operating: positive and the negative.

It is only on the human level that there is nothing but minus. Where is our plus? When can we perform any good deeds, not “good” deeds by which we hope to gain something, but deeds that lead to no self-benefit?

There is no such battery with two poles in a person with plus and minus. A person is managed by one negative force. This is the uniqueness of man since the rest of nature, his own body, and the entire world that surrounds him are managed in a balanced way by plus and minus.

We must generate the positive force from nature so that it will balance human nature. Otherwise, it is impossible to do anything. The human ego is the one source of all of the evil in the world. It is not only the wisdom of Kabbalah that claims that, but also ecologists and economists.

So, where can we find the positive good force in order to balance our ego? If we don’t find it, we are doomed because we are advancing toward self-destruction. But there is a method, the wisdom of Kabbalah, that can provide us with the positive force that will balance the evil force. The entire world needs it very much, every government and every nation.

Question: You warned the west 10 years ago of the Arab migration and about what would happen in Israel and in the world, but no one believed you. Do you hope they will believe you now?

Answer: Now everyone can see that it is so. If you open my old notes, going back 15 years, you will see that I wrote about what would happen in Europe, Russia, and America and about the Arab Spring. Ten years ago in a TV interview in Moscow I stated publicly that the Arabs would populate all of Europe, which would lead to a situation that I didn’t even want to speak about. Now we can see that ourselves, so why should I be a prophet and speak about bad things? Generally I can speak about what needs to be corrected, but individually it isn’t a good idea.

Regarding the future, I will tell you that both the Europeans and the Arabs that will populate Europe will turn against Israel and rise against us as on a crusade. No matter how hard we try to please the Europeans, their hatred will continue to grow. The Europeans will totally side with the Arabs and no one will be in our favor, just like in the days of Nazi Germany. Nothing will help us. On the earthly level we are losing everything! We can only win on the level of the upper world.

If you want that, I am inviting you. If you don’t, we will be in big trouble. This is the reason that we have to disseminate the message of the wisdom of Kabbalah among the people, so that people will find out and will know what it calls us to do and the reward it promises us for that.

Comment: Many believe that the wisdom of Kabbalah should deal with the spiritual elevation of man and not in finding a solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Answer: The wisdom of Kabbalah provides the solution to all conflicts and disputes because it allows people to get closer to the revelation of the upper world. When we get closer to it, our lives becomes better.

Yet, our adversaries are right: The true role of the wisdom of Kabbalah is not to bring goodness to our world, but to raise a person to the next level, to the level of the upper world. This is the real goal!

But how can you approach a person and start explaining that? After all, he wouldn’t even listen to us.

But when the blows hit him and you tell him that there is a solution to his problem, he will listen to a couple of words and then to a few more words, and so on. Thus he will gradually realize that you are offering a solution to the problems in our world because this is the only thing he hears. As it is said: “Educate a boy according to his way.”

Then he will understand that this is only a way to truly rise to the upper world. He receives blows in this world because the wisdom of Kabbalah doesn’t attract a person directly.

It is written in the books of Kabbalah that we received the opportunity to be here, to gather together and become one people. If we are divided and not internally connected with each other, we are not a people.

Question: Israel is home to a lot of people who are not Jewish according to Halacha. Are they my brothers or not?

Answer: I will give you a very simple definition of whom it is possible to call a Jew.

“Jew” is from the word “Ivry” – “Ever,” which means to cross over. Anyone who moves from hatred to love, from a feeling of our world to the feeling of the upper world, is called a Jew.

“Israel” (Isra-el) means straight to the Creator, the system of higher management. Those who are directed toward it are called Israelis.

“Jew” is from the word “Ichud,” connection, unity.

Therefore all the people who study in our group—Mexicans, Chileans, Americans, Turks, Arabs, Russians, French, Germans—if they are directed toward the Creator, they stand under the banner of Abraham as in ancient Babylon, connecting among themselves beyond all the differences; they are called Israel.

Question: So, all of your students a priori are Jews?

Answer: They are the most Jewish Jews in the world! And those who aren’t directed toward the Creator, according to the spiritual definition, are not Jews and not Israelis.

In all times, many non-Jewish came to study the wisdom of Kabbalah. Before the destruction of the Second Temple (Beit HaMikdash)  many people from the nations of the world joined us, so all the Israelites were in attainment of the upper world, not to mention the kings of Israel.

And King David and the future Messiah, the son of David, were descendants of a non-Jewish woman, a Moabite.

The entire political system in ancient Israel was constructed not by a Jew, but by Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses. This means that, according to Halacha, the children of Moses were also not Jews.

If you refuse to accept the true definition in relation to the Creator and higher attainment, you can conduct all kinds of genetic tests. That is your business.

However, now we have come to a situation that, whether we want it or not, the entire world will become connected, which is to say that everyone will be directed toward the Creator, as it is written, “…for they shall all know Me from their smallest to their greatest” (Jeremiah 31:33).

Only those who feel the desire for a higher world, the Creator, to unite with each other, who have the question of the meaning of life, would be allowed to go to the land of Israel. That is the main question.

Baal HaSulam writes that a person who yearns for the truth, for the source, for the wisdom of Kabbalah, is one who asks himself, “What is the meaning of life?” There is a place here specifically for such people. The others just came here to be in one place and are necessary to create a group, as did Abraham. After all, we are gathered as one people according to ideological principles.

So, if we were to examine all the Jews in relation to the ancient Babylonians, it would follow that you were from one tribe, I was from another people, a third was from some other family, etc. We are all different.

Question: Do you think you are the only one who knows the solution to the problems in the Middle East?

Answer: I think that I am the only one in the world who knows the solution and its implementation. It is not enough just to know the solution. It is necessary to gradually reveal the possibilities for realizing it, and it will be revealed from above.

I, together with my several hundred thousand students, and other larger circles who number several million people who are in our learning system, arouse the influence of the higher forces of management from which we become educated. This makes it possible for us to say that we know how to repair the world.

Question: There are so many different doctrines, religions, and various currents in the world. How is it that you alone know the solution?

Answer: I am not saying that I alone am developing the correct implementation of what is the responsibility of the people of Israel. We realize this with our large group that numbers thousands of people.

Question: Do you have some kind of secret you are hiding?

Answer: I am a very open person, and I would reveal much more to people happily, but this could harm them. It is just like when a child is given only what he can understand and not beyond that. So, it is with the wisdom of Kabbalah. Otherwise, I would be misunderstood. Even those who hear me today understand what I am talking about with great difficulty, and they are only a tiny fraction of all of humanity!

Comment: You say that the solution to terror should be to strengthen the foundations of the Jewish nation. But I think that terror will stop only when we create two countries between the sea and the Jordan River.

Answer: This isn’t a feasible solution. Even from a perfectly corporeal perspective we see that there is no one we can talk to about peace agreements, not to mention the fact that it is not a solution if we look at things from a higher spiritual level.

We have to take into account that the world is advancing towards unity whether we like it or not. We will eventually have to connect with our Arab neighbors either along the path of the Light, called “I will hasten it,” hastening time, or along the path of sufferings, called “in its time.”

Suppose we were given twenty years along the time axis in order to reach complete peace with the Arabs. Let’s assess our chances realistically: Is it possible to do it in this time span or not? Is there anyone with whom we can reach a peace agreement? Do the Arabs agree to that?

They don’t agree to any of the conditions except that we will also become Moslems and that the Caliphate regime will govern all of the Middle East and the whole world too. Only then will the Arabs put an end to terrorism.

No other solution will satisfy them. We will soon see how this takes place in Europe: Christianity will disappear and instead of the cathedrals and churches there will be mosques.

Therefore, consider whether you want this to happen in Israel or not. If you don’t, we have no other choice but to start implementing the method of the wisdom of Kabbalah. After all, from the Arab’s point of view there cannot be two states here but only one Caliphate.

We should carefully assess whether we have another means to oppose that besides the wisdom of Kabbalah.
