Question: I am growing and developing as a person on the animal level, and my animal desires are constantly growing. But if I engage in spirituality, my spiritual desires also constantly grow. In the end, I can’t focus on anything, and I keep getting pulled from one thing to another. How can I balance spiritual and material life?

Answer: This is not balanced by us. A person should take care of their animal life reasonably, and dedicate all the rest of the time and effort to spiritual attainment, which means striving for connection with others in the ten to become more like the Creator.

I can’t tell a woman that she must get married and have children, that is her personal decision. As for men, they are, in principle, more obligated to be married than women. We strongly encourage men to marry because they become more stable, diligent, and consistent. But a woman is stable on her own, so there aren’t such strict requirements for her.

Ultimately, whether or not a woman marries is her choice. But the goal is to devote as much time as possible to spirituality, and to material things, let me quote the original source, only the necessary amount.

And add a bit more joy to your life; this is very necessary. If you don’t feel joy in life, it means you are blaming the Creator for your discomfort.

Question: How do you know where the limit of your efforts is? It seems there is always room to add more.

Answer: It is always good to add, but it is important to clearly define how immersed I should be in the material, how much I implement it in connection with my friends, how much I give to my family, and how I handle my work. Everything should be organized. This stems from the fact that we are living in this world. You must establish these things for yourself.

A person must feel a sense of responsibility toward his or her family and never reject the idea of building one. This is a fundamental condition for men. In fact many Kabbalists did not accept bachelors as students. To those who strongly desired to study Kabbalah, they would say, “Go get married, and then come back.”

It was this way with Baal HaSulam. A person could not become his student until the day after his wedding. And there was no talk about women at that time. Today we accept both men and women. Keep in mind that having a family is a requirement for men and is desirable for women.

Rabash was also strict with bachelors; he demanded they resolve this matter within a month or two.

We must fulfill all the conditions of a spiritual society, and it is represented in the form of a family. The Creator views the family unit—husband, wife, and children—as His creations. Based on this, He elevates them to a spiritual degree.

Question: My wife does not study Kabbalah. Would it be better if we studied it together?

Answer: Yes and no, it depends on how you coexist together. It is probably more peaceful for you that she does not study Kabbalah, but supports you.

Why? Because sometimes a man and a woman can enter into a very strong resonance.

The Creator gives each person the appropriate conditions according to their soul, and you must accept them as the best and most optimal for progressing toward complete correction.

So there is no need to complain about anything except your own lack of participation in the group. That is where your progress lies.

Question: What is the role of a woman in Kabbalah?

Answer: It is the same as the role of a man. Nothing changes.

In our world where we exist in physical bodies with material desires and family responsibilities, we are very different from each other.

But in the spiritual world, the work of men and women is the same. Kabbalah says a lot about the role of a woman and how she rules the world. Our world is also secretly ruled by women.

Malchut is the female part of the Kli, the soul. It determines everything. In our world, we always see men as producing something, doing something, but in fact there are women behind them who silently, even without words control them.

That is why women’s groups are very important to us. We would really like them to develop even more. The main role of a woman in Kabbalah is to push a man to fulfill his spiritual mission. As a mother pushes a child: “Do it,” trains him, stands behind him, so women need to manage men.

The female’s craving for the male makes a soul. And also, the male’s craving for the female and his adhesion with her produces a soul, which includes the soul from the craving of the female and takes it. Thus, the craving of the lower one, the female, is included in the craving of the upper one, the male, and the two souls become one, without separation.

And then the female contains everything, taking both souls and becoming impregnated by the male in them (Rashbi, Zohar for All, Lech Lecha, “Like an Apple Tree among the Trees of the Forest”).

The male’s craving for the female and vice versa are two different cravings, two different copulations.

The Book of Zohar explains which of them is the first and which is the second. Depending on this, one or another type of soul is born.

But this is not important. The main thing is that they merge together. Of course, the Nekeva conceives since it accepts the male part of the soul (Zachar). Therefore, it turns out that they get included in each other and become one whole.

Question: And yet this intercourse differs depending on who was striving for whom?

Answer: Yes, this is what determines who is born: a boy or a girl.

Question: In what case does this happen? Suppose a boy is when a man longs for a woman, and a girl is when a woman longs for a man?

Answer: Yes, it seems so.

Question: Why is it that precisely the Nekeva is decisive? As it is written: “And then the female contains everything, taking both souls and becoming impregnated by the male in them.”

Answer: This is how nature created it.

Question: In our world men do not need much, everything is much simpler for them than for women. Women are so different and multifaceted. What is the reason for this complexity?

Answer: A woman is like the whole world. The female gives rise to life for any organism. It is the most complex organism in our world.

Question: Is the Nekeva (female) so multifaceted in the spiritual world too? Or is it still some kind of one desire, one state?

Answer: In spirituality this is absolutely not felt, since the female part suppresses itself in relation to the male part there, and the male part prevails in everything.

Question: Does she suppress herself deliberately and consciously?

Answer: Of course. After all, in principle, she should only give the sex of the child and some earthly properties and the higher properties come from the husband.

Everything is mingled with each other and when the souls come out, male and female are mingled in them as one (The Book of Zohar, “Like an Apple Tree between Forest Trees“).

Question: Why is both masculine and feminine included in each of us?

Answer: It comes from nature. Our body is designed in such a way that it cannot have only one property; it has both male and female hormones, all kinds of properties. Even in the human psyche there is a masculine side and a feminine side.

Question: What is the function of the second half, which does not seem to apply to me, I am a man. Why do I need female hormones?

Answer: Without it, you would not understand a woman. Such one-sidedness would manifest itself in many things, and you would not be able to develop because the female component also takes part in your development. Conversely, there are some masculine qualities in a woman.

Question: Does it happen that masculine qualities prevail in a woman?

Answer: Yes, it can be detected even by appearance and not only by matching properties.

Question: Is there any hierarchy in women’s advancement? Is it built in a special way?

Answer: There is no hierarchy at all. Women are not like men who have to constantly rise up and forward.

Question: It turns out that a woman is focused on herself: home, clothes, etc. Is that why you often say that women’s work is to put some kind of pressure on men?

Answer: Yes, not only to put pressure on her husband, but also to raise children, especially boys, to encourage them to study, and so on.

This, in fact, is her spiritual work despite her down-to-earth nature.

Question: Have you experienced situations where your wife’s opinion was very important to you and you listened to her?

Answer: Of course. There are moments in family life when, first of all, I see that I cannot make certain decisions without my wife. On the other hand, her opinion is necessary, not only because she is knowledgeable and understanding, but because she is your other half. It would cost you dearly if you do not listen to her. So I believe it is essential to consult with your wife.

Question: You beautifully said that she is the other half and she is even more precious. It feels like male and female parts come together into one whole. That is very beautiful! Did you ever see such a relationship between your teacher Rabash and his wife that you could take as an example?

Answer: No, in this regard, he was very private. Although I was always around, I did not see any particular external display of their connection.

Question: We talk a lot about the need for connection. With men everything is clear, there is a lot written about it in the Torah. But what about the connection of women? Because the Torah says nothing about it.

Answer: A woman, in general, does not connect with anyone. Of course, she can have friends both in childhood and when she grows up. But for her, there is a period when she gets married, gives birth, and takes care of her children and family. This is her whole life. So there cannot be much else here.

Question: It turns out that her main function is still the home.

Answer: Yes.

Question: I can say from my own experience that this fills me very much. I feel like a queen in the house. This is mine!

But what is the function of a man? To give a woman this feeling? Not to interfere or to help?

Answer: It is to give a feeling, not to interfere, to help. That is true.
