Question: Why do so many Jews stand behind the organization of the boycott against Israel, including Israelis?

Answer: Within the Jewish people, according to its ego that rises above others, lays an impulse to be detached from their Jewish identity. As a result of this, people in whom this drive exists particularly strongly want to demonstrate to everyone that they are the opposite, that they are concerned for “the good of all peoples,” that they are not Israelis.

There were similar examples in Hitler’s Germany an in American leadership. It is a well-known that a ship of Jewish refugees from Europe attempted to escape from death in the concentration camps and reached the United States. At that time, a Jew who was close to the American president advised him not to accept them. As a result, the ship was sent back, and the people perished in the gas chambers. This happened more than once. And here we need to understand that it is natural that it is specifically Jews who foment anti-Semitism all over the world.

Question: What is natural about this?

Answer: If we don’t receive the right education, the lack of internal orientation leads some to the opposite, egoistic end of the spectrum. It is not by chance that many American Jews are directed against Israel and want to sever all ties with our nation. They prefer to assimilate among the local population and become exclusively Americans. I saw this recently at a symposium of American Jewish organizations in Washington.

This is our nature. This is the inner root of our people that wants to escape its destiny, and its destiny is to show the entire world an example of good connection and unity that solves all problems. As long as we don’t do this, the nations will come to us with complaints without their understanding that the root cause is themselves.

Throughout the entire exile, the hatred toward Jews and anti-Semitism counteracted the tendency in our people toward division. So, if the pressure of the outside forces weakened, we ourselves would retreat from the burden of the “Jews,” and nothing would have remained of us. “Really, why should I be a Jew? Why should I suffer? What is the benefit of everyone hating me? It is better to disappear and forget everything.”

Question: You say that the role of the Israeli nation is to unite and to set an example to the whole world, but won’t this unity and the resulting success in the economy antagonize our enemies even more?

Answer: Unity is the only thing we should accomplish and all the nations will welcome it gladly and gratefully. Positive unity can never harm the world. By uniting we fulfill the law of the upper nature and therefore cannot invoke any harmful effects.

What is more, by uniting we lock the general system into one symbiotic relationship: the still, vegetative, animate nature, and mankind. All of nature becomes one harmonious connected whole. This is the only thing the world lacks.

The modern global crisis stems from the fact that all humanity is mutually connected but at the same time people hate one another. Therefore we have no time to stall; we must fulfill our unity and the world will become balanced. Our connection and the love we feel for one another will unite us all. Everything depends on education. We don’t need much money and resources to achieve that. We only need to educate the nation according to the principle of unity, and the wisdom of Kabbalah gives us this method.

Question: What will the united Israeli nation be like?

Answer: Everyone will suddenly wish to have more or less the same standard of living and the same responsibilities. We will work only for our basic necessities and will not produce things for which there is no need, except for making a profit.

We will dedicate all the free time we will have to strengthening our unity, and thus will begin to discover the upper world, the level of nature in which we exist even outside our bodies. We will discover a world that is above our egoism, the upper spiritual world, and we will feel it as real as the world we live in now.

We will discover such internal connections between us through which we will begin to discover nature; we will find out that we are all connected and that each one feels everyone else. The feeling of this general network that ties us all is called the revelation of the Creator to man, the revelation of the general force of nature that governs our life.

Let’s at least try to listen to what The Book of Zohar and the wisdom of Kabbalah tell us about the basis of the creation and what they advise in order to solve the problems of the people and the whole world. They can all be solved by the simple unity of people.

We cannot unite only because we don’t know this simple patent, but if we accept it and fulfill it we will discover how simple and accessible it is.

Here, it follows that the boycott is to our benefit. It brings us closer to unity because otherwise, without unity, the people of Israel would simply not be. They wouldn’t exist.

The boycott is a clear sign of what we need to rebuild, the people and the nation, such that we would be compatible with the name “Israel,” which means Yashar El (Straight to the Creator). I am not justifying those who are organizing the boycott. I am looking at the general process through which we need to pass. Our people could have started the unification even before the boycott.

We have talked about this for years, but we haven’t been heard us. It could be that, now under the new conditions, they will hear us, and if not, then without a doubt the boycott will become stronger, and we will need to establish mutual connections under much more difficult conditions because it simply is possible to lock us within the borders of the nation and prevent any outside support. It is enough to make the boycott legitimate, and it will be impossible to ignore it. For example, if the European Union on higher levels would make the appropriate decision, then all of the European nations would have to obey it.

The same thing affects the United Nations, UNESCO, and the rest of the international organizations as well. In this way, all of those who help Israel today and maintain contact with it would turn their backs on us under pressure from the rest, and then we would be left with nothing, nothing with which to fight, and nothing to eat. We would feel ourselves under siege here.

Question: Let’s suppose that some community is able to unite and organize into an integral system. How will this reflect on the world? Will everyone else be able to follow in their footsteps?

Answer: The world will have no other choice. Everyone can see what we are facing now. We have reached a state where the nature of this world has become integral and global and urgently demands our respective participation.

The still, vegetative, and animate levels of nature are locked into a single system, and they have no problems between them since nature controls them strictly without any freedom of choice from their side.

Yet, nature treats us differently. It forces us through strict influences to realize that we are acting incorrectly, egoistically, i.e., the vector is towards oneself (alone), while we need to build a correct system of interaction between us that will resemble nature itself: completely closed, integral, and global.

As soon as we enter that state, nature will begin to treat us in a positive manner, showing us how to interact and keep going forward. Everything depends on the unity between us.

Baal HaSulam, the newspaper “The Nation”: We humans are social beings, because we cannot satisfy our vital needs without assistance from others.

This is actually typical of man, as opposed to the animate level. Animals can usually take care of themselves and succeed in life.

It says that “a day old calf is called an ox.” Animal cubs develop very quickly and are ready for life after a couple of weeks. They can manage by themselves and live independently. This is true for all living things except for man. A human baby usually cannot manage and live without the help of grownups during the first 10-15 years of his life.

That is why the involvement of many people in a child’s life is a precondition for its existence. Therefore individuals were compelled to unite into a single community called a “people” or a “nation.” Each engages in one’s own trade, some in agriculture, and some in artisanship. They connect through trading of their products. Thus, the nations were made each with its unique nature, both in material life and in cultural life. Observing life, we see that the process of a nation is just as the process of an individual.

The functioning of each person within the nation is like the functioning of the organs in a single body. There must be complete harmony among the organs of each person—the eyes see and the brain is assisted by them to think and to consult, and then the hands work or fight, and the legs walk. Thus, each stands on its guard and awaits its role. Similarly, the organs that comprise the body of the nation—counselors, employers, workers, deliverers, etc.—should function in complete harmony among them. This is necessary for the nation’s normal life and for a secured existence.

Question: But why don’t I feel this harmony in our society?

Answer: This harmony doesn’t exist, but Baal HaSulam writes about what should be. A society has to exist like a healthy body in which all the organs operate in coordination with one another and in general harmony sustaining the body in the optimal manner. This is also how the connections between people of the same nation or the same country should be so that each one functions and works and thus provides society with what he can and receives from the society to the extent that the society can give him. Then we will lead a good life.

If a society wishes to be healthy, it has to keep the laws that operate in a healthy body. Everything depends on the connection between the organs or the parts of the nation. If the connections are bad, the body is ill and feels worse and worse until the connections disappear completely and the body dies. The same thing happens in the society: if bad connections operate in it, the society becomes ill until it disappears in various ways. Human history teaches us that when the connections between members of a certain society are weak, that society is doomed to extinction. This nation simply steps down from the stage of history. This is the reason that we have to urgently take care of the health of our nation.

In the future, the world will recognize the evil spirit into which it is sinking, humanity will discover that it has no means for correcting the situation, and the nations of the world will also feel in their subconscious that the people of Israel have a solution. From here is the inner drive to boycott and the desire to blame us for all of their problems.

The basis for this is latent in every person, in every people, in every organization, and in every nation. It is impossible to deceive ourselves about the illusion of the dark period that must be passed through on the way to brighter times. As it continues, it will only get worse. I have been talking already about this for many years. The world is sinking into a general crisis that encompasses education, culture, the economy, and politics, and now we are standing on the threshold of tremendous and incessant pressure from all sides. We feel ourselves as a fortress that is under siege, and our only weapon is unity.

This is possible by means of the Kabbalistic method that teaches us how to connect with each other in tens, in hundreds, in thousands, and in millions. All of the people of Israel must go through this integral or Kabbalistic study. It is not that important what we call it. At the time of our formation and coming into existence, we obligated ourselves to be as one person with one heart. If we consolidate this way between us, all the higher forces that manage us immediately will begin to soften and mollify, and we will feel changes without pause.

Let’s begin to unite in circles in the right way and then immediately in our relationships within the nation, in our relationships with our neighbors, including Hamas and the like, and in the relationships with all the nations of the world that all will begin to soften. So, it seems obvious what kind of a weapon we have in our hands. It is not deadly, but good. It brings life. It is a weapon for the struggle with our egoism, with our nature, and not with people.

So, I turn to the people of Israel. Let us accept the approaching stages with an understanding that they are designed to awaken us to the right development, to unity. If we would begin to realize it until reaching “Love your neighbor as yourself,” then immediately what has been attained between us would spread all over the world through underground connections unseen by the eye, through which we are connected with each other, and the good results of our efforts will not be late in being discovered.

Let Us Understand Our Purpose and Our Duty, and Accomplish It

First of all, we must explain to the Jewish people that the boycott at this stage is only the beginning of the pressure, both corporeal and spiritual, that awaits us. Ahead are much more severe situations as described by the prophets of Israel, and all of this, then, is to oblige us to take correct action as the people of Israel living in their own land and to set a good example to the world.

Then we will understand that anti-Semitism is only there so that the people of Israel would take upon themselves the mission to achieve brotherly love and show everyone how to apply the method of unity through the Light that Reforms.

After all, no one else has this method and cannot have it. The Light that Reforms goes out to the world only through the people of Israel. That is why this nation is called a “kingdom of priests” and “a holy nation.” When the nations of the world accept the basics of unity from us, the first spiritual quantum of Light, their attitude toward us will immediately, diametrically change. As the prophet Isaiah said, they will carry the sons of Israel on their shoulders and bring them to the temple in Jerusalem.

Only, it will take a decision—when we will provide a true example of unity that our world needs so much? In today’s global and integral reality, we cannot survive if we do not unite with each other in an equal society with entirely good relationships. In such a society, people become related to each other, help each other, and maintain relations of friendship and love.

How do we achieve this in a world that is opposed to such aspirations? This work isn’t up to us, but to the Upper Light.

Instead Of Boycotting: Love

In the News (from cursorinfo.co.il): “The boycott has nothing to do with the occupied territories or the peace process that is stuck, nor the crisis in the American-Israeli relations, Palestinian football  [soccer]or the situation in the Gaza strip. This is actually ordinary anti-Semitism or the modern anti-Israeli concept that is very hard to accept considering the rapid European conversion to Islam.

“The situation should be cleared not with the British students’ union BDS (Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions) and not with the UN or the EU, but with independent organizations that engage in incitement and demonization of our state. No concessions whether territorial, political or ideological can change the situation. If Israel itself is afraid of its Jewish character, the lack of character turns into lack of basic principles.

“The boycott can destroy Israel. If Israel, under international pressure,  will start to take the country under the guise of an agreement, it will destroy itself faster than  any economic and political sanctions. And there will always be a new reason for a boycott.”

My Comment: All is true, but there is no solution! Conceding to anti-Semites is not the solution to the situation. The reason for anti-Semitism is the natural outlook that the Jews are responsible for all the problems in the world. This is also what the Torah says: “Any calamity that comes to the world is for Israel.” We have to listen to what our sages said. After all, they tell us how we should act. The special force that fills our world with peace and abundance is a result of our unity. The hatred towards us appears to the extent that we draw away from one another. See the “Introduction to The Book of Zohar,” Items 66-71.

Question: Was the great Kabbalist Baal HaSulam far ahead of his time when he wrote the article, “The Last Generation,” in the beginning of the 20^th century about humanity inevitably achieving a communistic society?

Answer: A Kabbalist isn’t ahead of his time. Rather, he sees everything from end to end. For him time doesn’t exist! He simply rises to the next level from which it is possible to understand what is happening with us. Actually, the wisdom of Kabbalah makes it possible for us to rise to a higher level where we clearly see that we need to re-educate ourselves, how to do it, and what we must reach. It accurately teaches by which path it is possible to reach the goal so that we will work correctly on ourselves.

Question: In the article, “The Last Generation,” Baal HaSulam prepared an answer for all questions. It is left to us to research this article and realize it together. We hope that this will help us to find the answer to the question, “What can we expect?”

Answer: What is waiting for us is what we choose. People must understand the necessity of developing a mutual connection, which increases the sensitivity of a person to his environment, and become like the general system about which the wisdom of Kabbalah speaks. Even if a person doesn’t see this system, with the help of special training and special exercises called roundtables or discussion circles, he can feel that this reveals a new positive force on the levels of the still, vegetative, and animate.

In nature, plus and minus are balanced, so all of its objects act instinctively, accommodating to the influence of nature while in a human being there is only one negative force. So, he needs to discover the positive force of nature, balance the negative force through it, and go forward in the balance and harmony of the middle line. Then, he is called Adam (Man), while, now, he is on the level of the beast.

 In the News (Israel HaYom [Israel Today]): “In the run-up to the March 17 election, Channel 2 was issued an emergency ‘call-up notice’ to join the campaign to oust the Right. Judging from Monday’s broadcast, Channel 2 has yet to get over the election results. It appears bent on casting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a negative light, while making it look as if he has picked a fight with Obama at the expense of Israel’s future and security. That is false, grotesque, fabricated and biased. The channel is just trying to manipulate the public.
