Question: Is there anything left of the great work of Kabbalists throughout history?

Answer: Of course! We are standing on their shoulders and therefore we seem to be so strong and clever. But we have nothing that is ours! Everything we have received is from the Kabbalists of the past, and now we can add to the foundations that they have laid.

This will be done in two ways: first and foremost there should be wide dissemination of the method of unity among the people living in Israel and among the Jews all over the world.

On the other hand, the external pressure coming from Europe, America, Russia and all the other countries in the form of different boycotts will increase.

Eventually, the external pressure and the internal dissemination explaining why this is happening and how we can change things will influence the people and they will understand that the only way to accomplish anything is by correcting ourselves.

The only way we can protect ourselves is by developing ourselves and by bringing the attributes of connection, love, and bestowal to the world. We have to discover everything on ourselves and among us, and then waves of unity and love will spread from us to all the nations of the world.

Comment: The great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam spoke about the return of the Jews to the corporeal land of Israel as the revival of the nation and an opportunity to fulfill its goal.

Answer: The point is that the people who have returned to this land have to organize and unite in the form of the nation of Israel. It isn’t just a collection of people who have been living here for 70 years after the establishment of the country or for 130 years since the first wave of settlers, the first Aliyah. We must first understand the basis on which a new state and a new nation can grow so that it can really be called the nation of Israel, which means that is focused straight to the Creator, at the attribute of love and bestowal. This isn’t the situation at the moment.

Herzl also dreamed about gathering all the Jews here, which was physically right but for which the nation wasn’t ideology ready. The state was established on socialistic principles and disputes that couldn’t lead to anything positive.

Comment: Baal HaSulam hoped that there would be some revolution and that the Creator, which means the law of love and attribute we live in, would bring us to this land and compress us into one whole.

Answer: In the 20’s of the previous century Baal HaSulam thought that he could bring 3.5 million Jews here, mainly from Poland. This could have been a great ascent for the state before it was established. In addition, he hoped that he could raise them ideologically and that although they were all from Jewish villages, he would be able to tell them what their mission comes down to. He dreamed that he would have a small circle of ten students and that they would work together and study and that the mutual relations between them would make waves of true unity. But this was not realized.

The hope was that the nation that gathered in Israel would become a one unified whole in time, but actually it turned out to be the other way around: it dispersed and disintegrated. Even today the social stratification continues and so does the opposition of one part towards the other. This will go on until things explode and we will be thrown to every corner on earth. The Torah says that if we are not compatible with this land, it will chew us up and vomit us out. If we are compatible with it, it will be a land flowing with milk and honey for us. Unfortunately, in the meantime we are nearing the state in which we will find ourselves on the outside.

Question: So what can we do if even the greatest Kabbalist of the 20^th century didn’t manage to accomplish this?

Answer: Baal HaSulam didn’t succeed because people didn’t listen to him. He is not to blame and neither are the others; we simply have to work harder. Today we have many more opportunities and we try to do whatever depends on us in order to set an example of connection and unity for the world. This isn’t easy either, but we are trying, and let’s hope that we will eventually succeed.

Question: When I pass through the streets of Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, I look around and think, how is it possible to unite? How?

Answer: The idea is that you are evaluating everything according to your powers and understand that this is impossible. But we didn’t have these powers to start with, so there is no reason to look for them within us. We must understand that these powers are found deep within our nature. We only need to begin with unity and immediately we will feel how they awaken within us, making us close, and we become like one person with one heart.

The same thing will happen in parallel with the rest of the people. All of us exist in a single field, and the Jews within it as the source of unity, from there waves spread to all of humanity. To the degree that we unite, humanity will suddenly begin to calm down, will begin to smile at each other, and peace and well-being will prevail.

As soon as we attain our unity, it will be clear that we are not 16 million Jews in the world, but half a billion, for example. For somewhere the ten tribes of the people of Israel are roaming; they will also join us and begin to unite with the same method. And then others will begin to unite, the heaviest and most distant parts of humanity. Everything depends on the focal point only and that is the people of Israel!

Comment: The first Zionists hoped that if we returned to the Land of Israel all the good things in our nation would reawaken.

Answer: What did the Zionist base their hopes on: the belief in the good inclination of mankind? This is a myth that was never really true. Herzl said that everywhere we ever lived, we honestly tried to integrate and be part of the other nations, but they didn’t want us. If the nations of the world hadn’t objected, we would certainly have assimilated among them because we wouldn’t have focused on what we are.

We prayed to be given the chance to build a state just like any other state but our own: “Just give us a chance and we will not bother you; everything will be quiet and peaceful.”

Question: What does a Jew have to do when he sees the animal hatred in the eyes of an anti-Semite? Does he explain to his enemy that his people have given the world many Noble Prizes?

Answer: We can say whatever we feel like, but the anti-Semite understands that it isn’t really so. He feels it in his bones that Jews are the source of evil in the world. We have to give other people the method of unity. This is what they demand of us. The world has been in a state of endless wars for ages because the Jews don’t provide it with a method that can replace the wars.

Question: So what should I say to the anti-Semite?

Answer: “Let’s discover together why there is a phenomenon such as the Jewish nation in the world: where it is, what it should do, why you hate it, and how do we explain to the people that everything stems from nature’s upper plan.” But generally speaking, we simply have to show ourselves that when we connect we become one united nation, and the moment we achieve this according the principles laid down by  Abraham, everything around us quiets down and all the storms cease.

We only need to attain mutual understanding among us: unity, to become as one man in one heart, to ascend to the level of love thy friend as thyself. Then we will immediately see how the same thing will be revealed in the world. All this will happen without saying a word to anyone!

Even if we were locked up in a big ghetto and the nations of the world could not see us, once we reached a state of unity the world would immediately quiet down.

The main thing for us is to reach unity of the hearts, which means to rise above our ego. When we correct ourselves, we can correct all the nations, the whole world.

Question: Do you think my future grandchildren will want to stay in Israel or move to another country?

Answer: It depends on what kind of country we are preparing for them now. If we make Israel a wonderful country where all live as one united family in which every person can feel well and develop, then they will certainly stay here.  In this case, what would they need to search for abroad?

They could go to other countries if they are asked to help other nations reach the same level of unity and prosperity. This is the purpose of the nation of Israel whose mission is to be “the light for the nations of the world.”

I see tomorrow’s Israel as a society with two forces in balance with one another: good and evil. Through this we will show an example to the entire world of how to reveal the positive force that will balance the negative one so there will be peace and tranquility in the entire world for all people.

Question: Do we have freedom of choice?

Answer: Every person who feels a need for freedom of choice can attain it. And with the Jews, as the carriers of two lines, this need is always always there because they initially received it in ancient Babylon.

Even today every person who feels the imperative of freedom of choice can join the method of Abraham as followers joined him in his time, left ancient Babylon, and received guidance from him about the correct spiritual development. In our time anyone can join in studying Kabbalah because it speaks about souls and about how to develop them.

Entry into Judaism is very simple: someone who wants to, please; nationality doesn’t matter. Jews don’t judge other people according to their nationality because they themselves don’t have one. The only criterion is self-development with the help of the method of ascending and connecting all for the sake of mutual love. And all humanity can join in this without any limitation.

Comment: According to your words, the process of conversion is very simple.

Answer: Was there some process of conversion for ancient peoples? When a foreigner came to Hillel the Elder and asked him, “What is your Torah, Judaism?” Hillel the Elder answered him: “What is hateful to you, don’t do to your friend.” That’s it; it’s not necessary to say anything more!

Question: What is the freedom of choice of the Jews?

Answer: The choice is only to be linked and connected between them in spite of their ego, and to create the characteristic of bestowal and love within them. All of those who are involved with this are called Jews, they rise above the ego and unite to bring a positive force into the world. If a person has this imperative, this is a sign that hidden within him is a spiritual gene. And so he is absolutely equal to the Jewish people regarding the question of freedom of choice.

Question: Does this mean he can pass this gene on to his children?

Answer: This doesn’t pass as an inheritance, but is the result of education. Someone is called a Jew not because he is born to a Jewish mother as everyone is accustomed to think, rather someone who prepares himself for a transition (Ever) from the egoistic paradigm to the altruistic.

Comment: But most of the current Jewish people have no idea about this..

Answer: They have an inner inclination which is called a Reshimo (Remembrance), an informational record about this, that they can develop the spiritual gene that has been in them from the start since the days of Abraham. Every person who joins the Jewish people searching for love of others and ready to engage in this method, conveys to his progeny the same spiritual inclination.

Question: Do the Jews have to become teachers for all people who want the wisdom of connection?

Answer: Certainly, it is said that Israel will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, and through them all the nations of the world will be blessed. In other words, the Jews will become teachers for the nations of the world in the wisdom of connection and the unification of all of humanity so that, with this unity, the higher power will be revealed. But this will happen only after they first reconstruct this method for themselves. Only then can they transmit it to everyone else.

Above all, they must discover the spiritual consciousness latent in them, reaching a permanent state of connection between them and becoming a single whole, and then they can explain, teach and transmit this characteristic to their students. But even if the Jews were to reach unity and not be involved with others, the 70 nations would be drawn into agreement with them. The essence of the method is not in sitting and studying it. It is the unity of mutual penetration, adhesion, connection, closeness with each other, and internal reciprocity when they begin to feel themselves as a single, unified whole. Their egoistic desires will begin to melt just like pieces of iron or gold, becoming a single mass.

Question: But for any modern person this seems frightening because this signifies the loss of his “self.”

Answer: On the contrary, the person acquires his self because he is united with all of humanity. His self grows eight billion times, and this will be his eternal and perfected self.

Opinion (Alexander Maistrovoy):“For the Jewish-American elites, most prominently Thomas Friedman, a leading columnist for the New York Times, there is a unique logic: Israel shouldn’t oppose a deal with Iran, so as not to provide a reason for accusations of dual loyalty of American Jews.

“As we know, an identical position was held during the second world war; the Jewish community leader Rabbi Stephen Wise didn’t want to bother President Roosevelt with complaints about the suffering of the European Jews….

“It is difficult to believe, but it is specifically people of Jewish extraction (it is difficult to call them Jews) who stand at the head of the ‘crusade’ against Israel. They are not renegades in their environment, but leading politicians and public figures, trendsetters of culture of  Jewish Americans.

“For example, the anti-Zionist Max Blumenthal claims that Israel is a place with a kind of colonial education. His comparison of the Jews to Nazis and his call for the capitulation of Israel caused shock even with the fiercest critics of Israel—Eric Alterman, who claims that Israel shuts the mouths of its critics with accusations of anti-Semitism, and the liberal leftist weekly “Forward” editor Jonathan Jeremy Goldberg.”

My Comment: At all times, beginning from the founding of the people at the foot of Mount Sinai (the giving of the Torah), all of its suffering has been caused by internal, not external, enemies. And the destruction of the internal enemies is possible only through the unity of the people.

The Creator (the only force in the world) intentionally arouses vile forces among us that make a career out of the suffering of their people so that we will be forced to unite. That is how it was in all troubles and wars, small and large.

We have no external enemies; rather, we have internal enemies in each one of us. Burning them out of everyone is possible only through attracting the Ohr Makif (the Surrounding Light, the Upper Correcting Light); it works and influences us to the degree of our yearning to be “as one person with one heart.”

When we unite and connect above all the disturbances that are sent by the Creator, we realize the freedom of choice and manage our nature. Clearly, only the wisdom of Kabbalah can teach us this.

Question: You used to write more posts about the actual wisdom of Kabbalah and now it is as if everything is about Israel and the Jews. Aren’t you a Kabbalist anymore?

Answer: I engage in the advancement of the world towards the goal of its development, which is the ascent (transition) to the next level, to the spiritual level. The wisdom of Kabbalah is the study of this transition. But it is a process that happens to humanity gradually over 6,000 years, since the discoverer of this phenomenon, first man (Adam). In our world the transition is realized in a group of people.

They differ from others since the question about the meaning of life is burning in them, as Baal HaSulam tells us in the “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot,” Item 2. Abraham was the first to gather and organize this group, and called it the people of Israel.

This is not a biological nation that developed from their common biological ancestors, but an ideological nation, i.e., descendants of people belonging to different nations living in Babylon 1,500 years BC who understood the call of Abraham, that through connection and unity, despite mutual rejection, and revealing the upper force (“taste and see that the Lord is good”), the meaning of existence is attained.

The fulfillment of this goal is the reason for the existence of the Jews, although they have forgotten about it for 2,000 years now. But this is the only reason they exist: in order to show themselves and all the other nations the attainment of the goal: revelation of the Creator. The fate of the Jews depends on the successful illustration of how to attain the higher existence (being the Light unto the nations).

The nations of the world expect this of the Jews subconsciously, and when this mission isn’t fulfilled, it evokes hatred towards the Jews and a feeling that the Jews are hiding something from them. Today we are in a special point in human evolution: it has reached global egoistic dependence.

There are two ways we can advance from this point: either by a world war or by correcting the global dependence into positive global connection. If the Jews choose the path of unity and teach the nations of the world how to fulfill it, the world will reach the next level of its development rapidly and safely. This is the only thing I engage in.

Comment: The present wars are removing “superfluous mouths,” and if this doesn’t happen, the population of the Earth will steadily grow.

Answer: There is not a problem in feeding these mouths. If everyone would comfortably begin to engage with spiritual development, then there won’t be “superfluous mouths.” There is a place for everyone under the sun! Moreover, each is desired. It all depends on the relationships between people.

In this case, no one will bother anyone, as if there weren’t anyone near me, because each one will be within himself and simultaneously in mutual agreement and understanding with others and with the Creator. And after that our world will totally disappear, now it is simply portrayed for us through our sensations, but the moment that we begin to elevate our feelings to the last level, to the degree of the elevation, this world will begin to gradually disappear; that is how this works.

Today physicists and psychologists are confirming what the wisdom of Kabbalah spoke about 5,000 years ago. Our world is a holographic image; it exists only in our sensations, in relation to us. In itself it is not like this, but that is how we perceive it. In itself, it is nothing, and it doesn’t exist. Forces exist that portray various pictures in us, like on a television screen. But these pictures that appear in relation to us and in front of us are simply forces. To perceive them, we have our own internal screen. And now instead of this screen it is necessary to create a new screen, and to see the true world on it.
