Question: Why is the Book of Psalms written by King David and Ecclesiastes written by King Solomon, the books which are closest to people of all religions?

Answer: King David is the foundation of the whole system of correction, Malchut, and so whatever he wrote in the Book of Psalms is the basis of a person’s appeal to the upper force. All the religions use it.

Malchut is the foundation of the whole world. Ecclesiastes, on the other hand, is not about an act like King David’s book, but about thought, about study. This is not only an appeal to the Creator but an appeal to a person’s internal world. This is the reason that the Book of Psalms and Ecclesiastes are closest to man.

It seems that the Book of Psalms doesn’t turn to the Creator but to a person, although King David actually turns to the Creator.

Question: In what way is the spoken language of Kabbalah different from the written language?

Answer: They are very different. The written language is much higher than the spoken language. It also appeared much later. It is a language that expresses the spiritual attainments of the person who writes and not his feelings. This is the reason that it differs from the spoken language by which a person conveys his feelings, intonations, expressions, sighs, and so on.

There are five groups of letters in Hebrew: guttural, palatal, of the tongue, of the jaws, and of the teeth. When using texts, all this disappears and the groups of letters are classified differently: the first nine letters stem from the Sefirot of the lower seven of Bina, the next nine letters stem from the Sefirot Zeir Anpin, and the last four stem from the Sefira of Malchut. There are five more letters, the final letters MaNTZePaCH, altogether 27 letters.

This is a totally different tool and a different form of expression of the same forces that are conveyed by sounds.

In addition to transmission of vocal information or written information from one person to another, there is another way of conveying information, substantive transfer, that is not used today. It was used during the time of the Temple when people also communicated by offering sacrifices, which is a totally different language.

Comment: There is a complementation of the letters in Hebrew in the form of vowel marks under the letters or markings in the shape of crowns above them, which indicate where one should put the stress and help a person read the words correctly.

Answer: All the languages lose their basis since they don’t fully convey all the information of a letter or a word, but in Hebrew it is not so.

In Hebrew all the letters are consonants with vowel marks below them which indicate the missing vowels in the written language. There are also different signs above the letters in the shape of crowns which convey forms of musical notes so you can convey everything by such an illustration of information.

In Hebrew there are also many marks inside the letters, beside the letters, and between the letters. They are the subtext that is not conveyed by sounds but by a pause in tone, by raising or lowering the tone of speech. The overt text is the notes and the covert text are the signs, which convey a second layer of information that is the subtext.

Today, however, we don’t use all these signs because the consonants are enough for a person who is used to the language.

Question: Will the world be a worse place if most people become disappointed with their religions? What would prevent people from mutual destruction and mayhem?

Answer: No, religions don’t need to simply disappear! No way! There is room for faith in the way people understand it, meaning religion, until people everywhere reveal all of creation; until they fully and completely reveal the Creator.

The wisdom of Kabbalah does not offend any religion!

If man created religion, it is essential for him. All the religions stem from the wisdom of Kabbalah, which is based on the principle “love thy friend as thyself.”

The wisdom of Kabbalah operates by leading a person to the fulfillment of this principle, whereas religions only speak about love of others, but regrettably they only cause division between people.

Question: Why are we given fantasies?

Answer: Fantasies are given to embellish a lie with a lie.

Question: Does this mean that fantasies are false?

Answer: Yes, as is our whole world, even though it seems real to us.

Question: Must a person understand that he cannot find happiness in this world?

Answer: It is for each individual. Yet I would not say that a person must prove to himself that there is no happiness in the world. We simply need to aspire to true happiness.

Question: What kind of benefit do I get as a result of others or the Creator being fulfilled, but not myself?

Answer: If I am fulfilled through them, this is a higher egoistic system of fulfillment; if I fulfill the whole world through me, then I am fulfilled with everything that I have transmitted to the world.

Question: What does it mean to fulfill the desire of others?

Answer: Fulfilling the desire of others is a means for fulfilling yourself, a means of fulfilling the Creator.

Question: What will happen in the physical world when people attain the highest level of pleasure? Will the population decrease or increase as a result of this?

Answer: Our world will disappear from our senses; after all, it only exists within our senses.

Question: There is a philosophy called Aikido by which the negative changes to positive. You claim that the wisdom of Kabbalah transforms the ego to have the characteristic of the Creator, altruism. Is this a kind of Kabbalistic Aikido?

Answer: The ego remains, we just use it correctly.

Question: Is it possible to call the relationship between parents and children “bestowal”?

Answer: No, because this connection is personal, so what am I bestowing to whom? Is it to myself?

Question: How are “ego” and “light” components of my soul?

Answer: The ego that is corrected to the level of bestowal is the soul; besides the ego, we have nothing.

Question: Will I be able to bequeath to my children the same pleasure that I derive from the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: No, it is not inherited. You can be a great Kabbalist, as were many women before you, but as a rule, their children weren’t receptive to the wisdom of Kabbalah. But in our time, this might be different.

Question: What is the connection between the “end of creation” and “pleasure”?

Answer: Creation is what we feel. When we correct all of our senses, the creation in its present form disappears and in its place an absolutely new creation appears that is called the upper world.

Question: If I am already experiencing the pleasure that you are talking about, must I still learn the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: If you have a desire for it, then study; if not, then don’t. Everything is completely voluntary; nothing is imposed on anyone. The method of the wisdom of Kabbalah is revealed only to someone who wants it, there is no coercion. If you leave the wisdom of Kabbalah, you will not be punished. If you study it, you will be convinced by the reward. It is not found on the same plane on which you are accustomed to seeing. You must choose for yourself. This is wisdom that is only given to those who need it.

Question: 2016 brought a big change in the United States. After the elections on November 8^th, the world became new, unpredictable, and unfamiliar. Nobody expected that businessman Donald Trump, who was far from politics, would win the election in his Republican Party, moreover, the presidency. To many this victory seems surreal.

These elections were the most intense and dirty in history, deeply splitting American society. People destroyed relationships with family and friends just because of political differences. America is split in two: the rural American people who wish to return America to its former strength, and neoliberals, residents of large cities, promoting their values.

Trump’s victory caused great excitement among those who voted against him. Will he be a good president for the United States and the entire world? Many people doubt it.

Answer: If Trump won the election, it means that more than half of the citizens voted for him. Why then does the second half, the neoliberals, not want to agree with this choice? They always insisted that they stood for peace and social harmony.

Now, why don’t they agree with the fact that the other half also has an opportunity to do something? They just don’t want to accept something that doesn’t fit their views. This is the only problem.

If the majority of the people chose Trump to be a president, others must agree with this choice and support him. Or don’t they agree with their own constitution?

Question: But will Trump be a good president?

Answer: We will wait and see. To me he seems likely to be a much better president than Obama who caused a lot of harm to the United States. Just look what he did in the Middle East in building the “Arab Spring.” There are continuous wars and devastation in the zone from Morocco to Pakistan.

Obama messed up US relations with Russia so much that there are talks about a third world war. Hillary Clinton, US Secretary of State speaks about world war as inevitable. Is it normal?! Obama’s governance destroyed the entire industrial base of America and doubled the national debt.

Comment: Opponents warn that Trump has no experience in such work, and he can’t lead America to the correct target.

Answer: Trump knows very well what to do. People exactly like him can manage America because they don’t belong to the political system but understand money and business. I can’t call myself his fan, but I think that Trump will be a much better president than his predecessor. Indeed, judging by the damage Obama caused America and around the world, he was the worst president in history.

During his eight years in office, Obama doubled the American national debt and introduced his program “Obamacare” that didn’t work. Look how much the number of unemployed increased since the beginning of his leadership. If the American people chose Trump, all the opponents should shut up and let him work.

I think Trump won’t support the old political and economic system, which he doesn’t really depend on. He will want to bring a lot of upgrades to America and to revive many of the old virtues of America that no longer exist today.

He will probably want to return, as much as possible, the industrial foundation of America in a new updated form with extensive use of robotics. I think he will be a good “boss,” and that’s what Americans expect from him. He won’t just interfere in other countries and organize messes there like Obama did. Judging by the things that Obama did in the world, America never had such a weak president.

Question: Where is our world heading?

Answer: The world is moving in a very bad direction, and it will be very bad if the people of Israel won’t take the spiritual leadership of the world in their hands. The people of Israel must understand that they have a method of correction of the world. It is possible to make corrections in the economy, culture, education, legal system, and family through the connection between people.

Everything can change if you change the relationships between people. It all depends on the wisdom of relationships that exists in the wisdom of Kabbalah. If Israel wants to discover this method for themselves and pass it to the world, the world will certainly want to take it and to reach a new state. Without this we would have to advance to the same result, but through world war.

Question: Why are there no letters above Bina in the spiritual world?

Answer: In the spiritual world, above Bina there is not any clear writing of the black egoism on the white Light.

That doesn’t mean that there are no letters there, just that they cannot be seen on the background of the white Light; they merge with it because a small ego is not revealed in the form of black letters.

In other words, there is only the characteristic of bestowal to Bina. In Talmud Eser Sefirot, in the section about the origin of the human soul, it is said that the letters are derived from a black point (the characteristic of reception), which begins from the center of Bina.

Question: Can the wisdom of Kabbalah educate people so they feel themselves to be part of human society and responsible for the spirituality of all the nations or is this characteristic only given by the Creator to individuals?

Answer: Kabbalah is intended for the education of people individually and collectively. Through it, we penetrate into the system through which our world is managed and we feel how it is managed with the help of two forces, positive and negative. This means that we bring ourselves to the right state relative to those forces, and in that way we stimulate the rapid development of the world and all of us within it.

Kabbalah is a science of the proper connection between people. It is an educational method for modern people who discover enormous and unlimited egoism that must be balanced urgently.

Question: What is the connection between the Russian language and the Hebrew language and how can the Russian language help in studying the wisdom of Kabbalah?

Answer: The structure of the Russian language is closer to Hebrew than other languages, at least closer than English, French, and German are.

My students who are living in Israel and in all parts of the world today learn Hebrew. Some of them know many words or speak and read in this language.

A person who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah cannot avoid knowing some Hebrew just as a musician cannot avoid knowing Italian or a doctor knowing Latin. All the great scientists who were involved with the wisdom of Kabbalah and even a science often knew a good level of Hebrew, because without it, one cannot enter into the depth of the wisdom of Kabbalah.

It is very important to know how to read in Hebrew. It is possible not to know the spoken language; the main thing is to know how to read Hebrew.

Question: What should a person think about or what should he do in order to get closer to the Creator if he isn’t in a group yet?

Answer: It is important to be in a group of ten, to establish connection with a group. It can be a small group of two or three people and even a virtual group. Without a group, the study is merely the acquisition of knowledge, which doesn’t yield anything beneficial. You have to learn to be connected with other people and to advance together with them.

Our Education Center for studying the wisdom of Kabbalah provides an opportunity to establish a connection with such a group, which eventually forms a stable virtual society. All the graduates of the third semester already know where they can connect with people.

Therefore, anyone who studies the wisdom of Kabbalah should take a course through the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education Center where you learn how to organize a group into groups of ten and according to which principles they should work together.
