Until today humanity still perceives that there are many forces, many purposes in the world, that there is no single thought, no single force, no single desire, no single goal; that we are driven by various impulses, urges, and that over us stand numerous “commanders” and causes for what occurs.

But suffering, both in previous generations and in ours, on the good path and on the bad one, gradually purifies the Aviut (coarseness).

Precisely because on the one hand a person becomes more “coarse,” and on the other investigates more and more, and comes to understand that he is incapable of understanding and investigating, this brings him to the revelation of the truth that he does not understand how creation is structured. This gives him the prerequisite to demand the revelation of the Creator, just like the demand that arose in Abraham.

Therefore when Abraham began to seek the Creator, he was alone. Later others joined him, those spoken of in the Torah, people who grasped this idea and went along with him: his sons, grandchildren, and students who constantly joined him.

All of this became a special system for educating future generations within Abraham’s group.

Comment: Each stage of explaining Kabbalah to the people requires proof in itself. The first—that there is a higher force, the second—that it influences us, the third…

My Response: We should not seek proofs. We must focus on our world, and since on one hand, we exist within it, and on the other hand, we have something that belongs to the higher world (our methodology), we must do no more than organize and connect it together. Like, for instance, natural phenomena and their explanations beyond nature: where these phenomena originate and why they appear to us in the way they do.

We need only to establish the right connection, the correct picture, clear, convincing, and understandable, and that is sufficient.

Question: How can the people of Israel feel their mission in this world?

Answer: First of all, the people of Israel must achieve their own correction. To the extent that they correct themselves, they will begin to understand what their role is in relation to all the broken vessels.

But Israel does not understand and cannot understand in advance what its function in creation is, since it is under the dominion of the AHP, the nations of the world, the broken Kelim.

Galgalta ve Eynaim cannot understand that there is some kind of work of bestowal here. To whom should one bestow? With what? Therefore when the people of Israel are in a state of shattering, what is the point of telling them: “You must correct the whole world!” ”What do I care about the whole world? Leave me alone.” Because of the lack of bestowing qualities, people do not feel the need to engage in someone else’s correction.

However, to the extent that they acquire the qualities of bestowal, that is, as GE return to their proper role, about which it is said: “You shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests,” they will reach the second stage, as it is said: “You shall be unto Me a holy nation.” But not before! Until then, they do not understand their function, and this is called being in a state of shattering.

Therefore, today we cannot expect the people to recognize what role they are to assume in this world. Perhaps they will be forced into it through suffering.

As of now, it is unclear to people that we must correct ourselves in order to correct the entire world. They only understand one thing: if we correct ourselves, without regard to the world, then the whole world and the Creator will treat us well. The second stage, which is hidden here, they do not yet perceive.

So it is not clear whether it is even worth speaking about the fact that we must become a light unto the nations, pass on to them the method of correction, and correct ourselves together with them. This becomes clear only when Bina truly attains the quality of bestowal, when it really becomes similar to the Creator, bestowing for the sake of bestowal, and seeks how to implement it.

Then it sees the necessity of the nations of the world and of connecting with them in order to correct them for the sake of the Creator. And benefit for the Creator means that the world will be corrected, that is, the nations of the world. To them He initially wished to give the Torah. Israel is present here only as a “conduit.”

However, at first all this is difficult to explain to the people of Israel, since they are in a state of shattering. But upon coming out of the shattering, they will begin to understand their task and their role in relation to the entire world.

Question: Shouldn’t we address the people who deal with the external part of the Torah directly?

Answer: The time has not come yet. We need two-sided preparation.

On one hand, it is necessary for the crisis that has occurred in Judaism to develop to a certain level and for the general opinion of society, of the people, which still influences them, to become so strong that it makes an impact and in some form a shift of attention from the external to internal would begin.

Baal HaSulam speaks of this as an iron curtain that exists between the people and the science of Kabbalah, between the people and the Creator since the destruction of the Temple. We see that today there is hatred between the Orthodox part of the population and the science of Kabbalah. Fear, hatred, and misunderstanding of what it is are very strong, and until it passes, we need preparation.

The preparation is gradual. We are already seeing how this is somehow penetrating inside, the people agree with it more than their leaders, and the leaders are gradually changing. To remain in leadership, they will have to accept the desire of the people; they have no choice in this. So it will come.

You cannot rush this. You would not call me patient, would you? But I feel something stopping me, in the past and now too; it does not allow me to approach the people of Israel and be involved with them. This does not mean I have no means, or that our group is not strong enough.

There is some protection from above here; we are not yet sufficiently prepared. We still lack an inner understanding of how to do this in the right way so that everything is perceived with understanding that yields results.

It should be like a mother with a child who understands him and knows everything that is necessary for his well-being.

It seems to me that first we must distribute as many pamphlets as possible, to take such actions so the people perceive it on different levels, from inanimate to vegetative, to animate and speaking. There is a lot more to think about here.

It has not taken shape yet; it has not descended from above. Therefore, no matter how much we want to, we cannot rush things, otherwise we will get a negative reaction that will damage both us and our connection with the people of Israel. But I hope that we are guarded from above and we will not be allowed to mindlessly do what we want from the bottom of our hearts.

Question: How can I “disconnect” myself from the explanation when disseminating?

Answer: We approach the masses as scientists, as researchers, and a true scientist must be absolutely impartial toward the outcome. They investigate nature outside themselves, outside their own “I,” just as Kabbalists do in this world.

Only later can we begin to talk about how my desire for something to happen influences its actualization. This occurs due to the law of nature adapting to my desire.

So how can I remain impartial? I must strive to understand the world, to understand life, to learn what is assigned to me without any personal involvement. If I investigate while I am interested in the result is a will to receive. What will I examine then? Only what is better for my will to receive. That is what everyone studies, and no one can see the true picture this way.

I must explain to everyone: “Friends! By distancing ourselves from our will to receive, we achieve the revelation of the picture of the world, we reach a degree from which we can understand the true interrelationships between the parts of reality—how everything is operated by the upper force, how all the details are interconnected, and what purpose they serve.”

I explain everything as a scientist who has discovered the system, the general law that operates in all its forms. But at the same time, I am dependent on nothing. This is how our approach should appear from the outside.

I must show by my entire appearance that I do not exist at all in this picture. It is not related to religion, to any way of life, or to anything else. It is simply general nature as it reveals itself. Then people will perceive it that way.

Comment: I can relate to you and to the writings of Baal HaSulam, but I feel Rabash is somehow in between, and I cannot quite grasp him.

My Response: I understand you on the one hand. But on the other hand, it is completely not the case. Rabash gave us all the foundations of spiritual work. Before him, they had not been presented systematically. Kabbalists either wrote commentaries on the Torah, or letters, and articles, but a systematic presentation of the inner work a person must do to attain the Creator was given to us only by my teacher Rabash.

He wrote nearly 500 articles on this topic. In them, he expressed absolutely all the states of a person starting the spiritual path from zero and moving forward.

What Rabash did is a priceless contribution to Kabbalah! It is such an invaluable, irreplaceable help for a beginner, one that cannot be drawn from The Book of Zohar, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, or any other works!

On one hand he was a great Kabbalist, and on the other a very concealed one and cunning in how he concealed himself, how he hid everything, and stayed in the shadow of his father!

You are right when you say, “Somehow I don’t see him, he just slips past.” He truly diminished himself: “Who am I? My father was the great Kabbalist.”

Rabash was the greatest Kabbalist, with such discoveries, such achievements, such writings, and yet he constantly concealed it: “I just study a little,” and so on. No one knew him or understood him.

He was a great practitioner, a great systematizer, a great teacher, a great educator!

In his articles, he laid out the system of spiritual work in various forms suitable for every person, every soul, every style, at all times and states that we go through.

I could speak endlessly about what he did! Not because he was my teacher, the closest and dearest person to me, but because he truly did something for us without which we could not take a single step forward. We could not!

Now that we are finally beginning to study his articles seriously, I hope we will come to realize this. It is a very serious work, incomparable to anything else.

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.

Baal HaSulam was a scholar engaged in pure science. He wrote in a high academic style. And my teacher Rabash is very close to us. He holds us in his arms and shows us, “This is how you should walk. This is exactly why you are experiencing such and such states.” He constantly guides you like a small child, helps, feeds, swaddles, does everything to raise you.

Rabash, in essence, created a Kabbalistic encyclopedia of inner spiritual work. He revealed all the states we have to go through in his articles. Therefore, if a person studies them all the time, he has no problems.

While working on an abridged version of these articles and going through them over and over again, I see how much it is like baby food, without which a child would not survive. A person cannot receive the nourishment of Kabbalah that Baal HaSulam actually gives one. Baal HaSulam pours such a light on him, it is like he places a steak in front of an infant.

But Rabash does not.  He turns all this into porridge, into boiled vegetables, into milk, which can be consumed in the proper portions. He was able to do it amazingly! And in such a style, in such a form, it is impossible to describe!

I remember how he wrote, every day a little bit, a little more, a little more, and by the end of the week the article would come out. He would hand it to me, and I would make copies and distribute it to the students. And for the entire following week we would read it, until a new article came out. And then the same thing again. In other words, it was a systematic, internal, spiritual work of mastering the spiritual space.

Question: Can you tell people whether there is a God or not?

Answer: There is a single force of all nature in all the worlds including our imaginary world. It is called Olam Amedume—the imaginary world. So the highest power that includes absolutely everything, of course, us too, is called the Creator.

Question: And how should we interact with Him, with this nature, as you say, with the Creator?

Answer: This is what Kabbalah teaches. You have definitely come out on a direct line: “How am I supposed to address the Creator? What should I do? How do I find Him? How do you regulate your state relative to Him? And anyway, what should I do with my life? How do I live? What if I get something for it?”

And here we need to understand what the Creator is. So what does Kabbalah do? It tells you how to behave so that you do not feel bad.

And why do you pray? It is about actually feeling the remote control of the world and really starting to control your destiny. It is given to man. And the upper force that we know, the Creator, wants us to come to this.

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.
