Today, once again the world faces the same problem that existed in ancient Babylon: humanity is at a dead end on the threshold of a world war, mankind is again sinking into barbarism.

It is interesting that in the past 30 to 40 years scientific, technological, and cultural development of everything that distinguishes a human being from a beast has entered a new stage.

Modern technology gives the least educated person everything he needs: televisions, computers, and mobile phones. Inside he remains a barbarian, and at the same time, he uses such developments of humanity that surpass his internal state by hundreds of years. In turns out that people have regressed.

If 30 to 50 years ago, a person was interested in paintings, books, and music, and had to absorb at least some part of what humanity has done and attained before him, today, this is not so. Everything has been replaced with sending text messages. What do people write to each other? What for?

In my time, children from a village wanted to be intelligent, modern. They were ashamed of their ignorance, whereas today this is not so. It follows that specifically thanks to technology—thanks to having everything and not needing to get anything, not needing to elevate yourself to any level—humanity is returning to barbarism.

Today, we are passing through a particular state called the “recognition of evil.” Who are we? Humanity must recognize its barbarism, which is leading people directly toward annihilation. In parallel to this, the people of Israel must develop the next state of humanity: mutual connection, oneness, and becoming an example for everyone else.

Question: So, in what way are the Jews to blame?

Answer: We should have begun our work from the period humanity began to leave the Middle Ages, from the time of the Ari at the end of the 16^th century.

It was precisely then that technological advancement began, which should have been accompanied by moral development so that a person would know why this had been given into his hands, and instead of this, a person became a barbarian with an iPhone.

Question: To where must the Jews bring this barbaric mass? Is it to oneness, to love?

Answer: Today, we Jews are no less barbaric than all the rest. So, first and foremost, we need to bring ourselves to unity. We are in a very great descent relative to the level we must comply with.

Question: But at all times, the Jews have aspired for a better world: they invented socialism, the idea of equality.

Answer: They didn’t invent anything. The idea of equality has been latent in them from the beginning. This process began 3,500 years ago from around the time Abraham gathered people who wanted to know the meaning of life, “We will not be slaves to our ego. We will rise up against it, each one within himself and all of us together.”

Since this is in the foundation of our development, we haven’t done anything unique.

Question: So, how can humanity remain barbaric if an idea like this is latent in it?

Answer: Relative to the same level in which we existed 2,000 years ago, beginning from Abraham to the destruction of the Second Temple, today we are barbarians. We don’t eat each other in the literal sense; we do this through our desires and intentions.

We don’t understand that everything that is happening in the world depends on us, and we can correct this by showing ourselves as an example of a completely different existence.

Question: When we speak about anti-Semitism, one must point out one interesting phenomena: those same anti-Semites who hate Jews fiercely, at the same time love them.

For example, Voltaire wrote about the Jews, “They are the rudest of all people, the most hated of all our neighbors. All of them are born with intense fanaticism in the hearts. I wouldn’t be surprised if these people will one day become a real disaster for the whole of humanity.”

Together with this, the same Voltaire confessed his love for the Jewish people: “ I love them so much that I would like them to be in Jerusalem, instead of the Turks who completely bankrupted and destroyed their country. Work the miserable land as you never worked it before, raise the land to the exposed peaks of your demolished mountains…”

Similarly Tolstoy and Chekhov spoke contradictorily about Jews, as did other writers and thinkers. It is said that there is only one step from love to hate, and we don’t even have to take this step since love and hate are woven together to such an extent.

Answer: These are two sides of the same person. And both sides, hatred and a special respect, which are completely, mutually dependent, mutual constants and are seen by all enlightened and caring people toward the Jews.

Question: Actually, during the course of history, all of the steps against the Jews were taken as if in order to protect them, “We love them. We want to ensure their safety, so do not carry weapons, do not become involved in certain professions, and live in the ghetto.” Also today, the movement of boycotts against Israel are accompanied by declarations of love, and at the same time pressure us.

Answer: I personally welcome this kind of love since I see in this a special revelation of upper Providence that wants the Jews to implement their universal mission for the world and to carry out everything that they need to do. Anti-Semitism is very helpful to Zionists. If there weren’t anti-Semitism in Russia, then there wouldn’t be Zionists, and the same thing goes for the rest of the nations.

Furthermore, in the Torah it is written that without the hatred of the nations of the world toward Israel, the Jews would have ceased to be a nation a long time ago. Thus, this hatred is needed exactly, as in the relationships of parents to their beloved children. There is mercy and there is judgment, meaning two hands, the left and the right. The left hand sometimes punishes, and the right caresses and hugs.

Question: Where in man does the hatred appear toward Jews and why is it so difficult for him to control it?

Answer: Where there is the revelation of love toward the Jewish nation, toward their worldview or religion, know that, shortly after, will come hatred. Conversely, if you see the hatred in the nations of the world, soon it will change for the better to expressions of love.

This is manifested not only between peoples and nations, but also between many nations and the Jews. For example, after WWII, after the Holocaust, a different attitude toward the Jews appeared, “We must give the Jews a place to live, a nation, to make sure they are in charge.” This is absolutely the clear upper providence that is not dependent on people or nations. This has been observed in an exact way during the entire course of human history.

There is nothing psychological about this. It is simply the general upper providence, super human, that is above our world and is leading it to ascend above itself to the next level, to the spiritual world of forces.

It is not the material world, but the world of forces. It is the Jews who need to specify this path since it is only with them that there is the initial experience for uniting, under the instruction of Abraham, and ascending to this level. Thus, they are called a special nation with a unique quality that is not connected to the rest of the seventy nations of the world.

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.

Question: Did the events described in the Torah really take place in this world? In one of your programs you said that we have to go through the whole story of the Torah inside ourselves.

Answer: Of course, all the words in the Torah took place in this world because every upper spiritual root has to develop and eventually touch its material branch.

This is why we went through the entire process in this world: Adam HaRishon and all further generations up to Abraham, and further on through our forefathers Isaac and Jacob, Jacob’s sons, then lowering to Egypt, Moshe, Aaron, the standing at the Mount Sinai, the entrance to the land of Israel, conquering the land of Israel, the destruction of the First and the Second Temples, etc.

Anything we have been through in this world is only one side of the picture. The most important thing is our current state and what events described in the Torah we still have to go through.

The Torah is not about historic events; rather, it is about what we are supposed to correct after Adam HaRishon’s sin. As a result of our correction, we will attain the spiritual world that is eternal and endless; it is here and now, as soon as we agree to go through the process of correction, as is written: “You shall see your world during your lifetime.”

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: After the Second World War was a period of temporary peace and calm for the Jewish people, and mankind agreed to give them the land of Israel. Did this happen because of the afflictions the Jews had undergone or because the world had a feeling that their return to their land would lay the foundations for the unity of the Jewish people and that humanity will benefit from it?

Answer: I cannot say that humanity understands the state it is in with regard to the Jews, to their country, and to their mission; yet, from ancient times until our days and especially in the 20^th century there were many philosophers who felt that. There were quite a few anti-Semitic philosophers among them who didn’t really understand why they felt such hatred towards the Jews.

The famous industrialist Henry Ford, a staunch anti-Semite said that: “the Jewish nation is obliged to fulfill the old prophecies according to which the Jewish people and all the nations of the world will be blessed by them and they have to start working in order to accomplish that. If the Jewish people recognized that their mission, their global role, cannot be fulfilled by the golden calf, its global citizenship with regards to humanity and its ongoing national isolation with regards to itself would turn out to be a strong and fruitful factor in uniting humanity, which is bothered so much by the conduct of the Jews.”

There isn’t one great scientist who didn’t point at or tried to understand the role of the Jewish people to some extent, since they possess the cornerstone of human evolution with which the world has to start the ascent, not to continue its path on the plain, but to rise upwards. This was argued by all the great minds, but interestingly, to the extent that everyone expresses himself anti-Semitically, he also expresses himself in favor of the Semitic nation. This worked out for them just fine since they realized that there is a turning point here, when the Jews begin to fulfill their mission of unity and give everyone an opportunity, strength, and an example to follow.

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!

The Torah, “Numbers” 9:1 – 9:2, 9:5: And the LORD spoke unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying: “Let the children of Israel keep the passover in its appointed season.” And they kept the passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at dusk, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.

A year went by after the exodus from Egypt. When the children of Israel became free they couldn’t celebrate that event. Now, a year later, they begin to celebrate the anniversary of the exodus (Pesach). Therefore, the Torah gives us specific instructions as to how we should do it. The first celebration of Pesach (Passover) takes place in the Sinai desert, and is celebrated every year for forty years, which means that it repeats in each of the forty levels of ascent. When we ascend the spiritual levels we undergo the phases of the correction of egoism into the attributes of love and bestowal over and over again. Everything repeats itself.

The Torah allegorically tells us that by bringing Passover sacrifices we examine how we can distinguish more and more attributes inside us that we should have apparently left in Egypt, with which attributes we come out of slavery, and which attributes can be purified, etc. What do the 40 years of wandering in the desert mean? It is a repetition of the previous corrections on new levels that created the 40 levels of ascent to the level of the land of Israel, until the generation of the desert disappears, which means until the purification of egoism is completed.

Therefore, the Creator says that no one who belongs to the generation of the desert can enter the land of Israel, but only those who have fully corrected themselves into altruism. All the others who don’t join the attribute of love and bestowal must die. It is actually dead anyway but has not been differentiated from the “salad” of attributes and desires. When we classify and take out what can be corrected into bestowal, we create an altruistic desire that is called the land of Israel, and anything that cannot participate in it is the same Egypt that died because it lacked all the Light.

Egypt used to receive the Light, thanks to the connection to the attributes that can be corrected, as the minimal illumination descended through them. But now the desires that cannot be corrected have become detached and they are already completely dead. Therefore, when we go through the 40 levels of correction we constantly form the land of Israel, which is gradually revealed before us.

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: Why was the Second Temple destroyed?

Answer: Both the First and Second Temples were destroyed so that the Jews could be dispersed among the nations of the world; they laid the makings of certain elements of connection with the upper force of nature and with the completion of their development, starting at the end of the 20^th century, started their elevation. It is said that the Jews went into exile in order to collect the souls of the nations of the world.

Both Temples symbolized the achievement of a very high level of the spiritual Light, the level of Haya, and the Second Temple symbolized the level of Neshama (soul).

Afterward, the Jews had to “fall and dissolve” within the nations of the world. Also under the concept of “the nations of the world,” the meaning isn’t what we usually imagine, because according to the spiritual roots, there are only 70 nations of the world, and the Jews had to be dispersed and assimilate among them. It was stated that at the end of the 20^th century, the general correction of the world would begin, realized first with the nation of Israel and then gradually joined by the rest of the nations.
