Question: How can your students, who represent the whole world, help correct the Jews?

Answer: In a natural way. By the fact that we, a group of my students scattered all over the world, understand that the main thing is rapprochement of everyone with everyone and that this corrects the world.

As a result, we put pressure on Jews so that they begin to understand that their job is to set an example and demonstrate how people should strive to get closer to each other.

Although, it is precisely for Jews that this is the most difficult thing to do.

Comment: But this is predetermined from the very beginning. If we turn to biblical sources, to our forefathers, they were given the Torah and they were called the chosen people.

My Response: Certainly. We all must understand that the most important and greatest vices exist in nature. They manifest themselves in us in advance as in people who are the closest and at the same time opposite to each other.

Question: A Ministry of Happiness has been established in Dubai. It is headed by a woman whose function is to develop a program to make people living in the United Arab Emirates happy.

Apart from you, who talk about this all the time, this is perhaps the first real embodiment of the idea of ​​a proper government that cares about the happiness of people. However, the question is what exactly do they mean by happiness?

Tell me how your ideas, articles, books, which are aimed primarily at the education and upbringing of the population of Israel as well as Jews around the world, are combined with this?

Answer: To be honest, I do not know the plans of the Ministry of Happiness. It would be interesting to familiarize myself with them. But I am sure that we have a completely different program.

By happiness we mean reaching mutual connection that leads people to love for each other, that is, to the fulfillment of the biblical commandment “love thy neighbor as thyself.” Nevertheless, it would be good to create such a ministry. 🙂

Question: When you talk about the spiritual world and about the fact that the goal is to reach a sense of spirituality, does this not contradict a happy life in a physical body on Earth?

Answer: In no way.

Comment: The US is holding midterm elections. Right away a lot of anti–Semitic leaflets appeared, stating that Jews are the reason for coronavirus, abortions, and inflation. They mention the names of Jewish officials in the presidential administration and heads of media companies.

This happens in the places where many Jews live: New Jersey, New York, California, and Florida, in many states. They talk a lot about Jews and not just talk about, but brand them. They give a lot of figures. The number of these phenomena has increased 3 to 4 times there.

This occurs mostly whenever something happens and Jews are immediately blamed. How much longer will this go on?

My Response: Until the Jews begin to correct this matter, until they realize that they are really to blame. This is already established in the structure of the world, in the structure of the universe. Galaxy wide!

Question: Does it mean that even nature demands that we would understand that we are to blame for everything?

Answer: So that we would correct ourselves! Then everything will be corrected, and there will be no such reaction.

Question: Are we the most egoistic or what is wrong with us? Why were we chosen?

Answer: Why we were chosen is not our business. We were chosen and that is it! Nature chose it that way. It took a small fraction of humanity and appointed it.

Question: “You will be responsible for everything,” right?

Answer: Absolutely for everything! If you are connected with each other, love, respect, and support each other, show an example to everyone else, to the nations of the world, and to humanity, and they will begin to correct themselves and come closer to each other following you, then everything will be fine. If not, then all of humanity will be against you. As humanity progresses further and further, to this extent it will progress in hatred in relation to you.

Question: So you say: There is such a law. Just as there is the law of gravity, laws of physics, there is such a law of nature: Until a Jew begins to change in relation to love for each other, in connection with each other, the world will hate him, and will drive him to this connection all the time.

Answer: Yes.

Question: The entire history of the Jews, in principle, is the history of suffering, continuous catastrophes until the last Holocaust. And you say: “Everything is just according to this law.” Is it really just because of that?

Answer: Just because of that. For the fact that they do not love each other, do not respect each other, and do not come close to each other. Moreover, when we look at other nations, we ask: Why are we worse than them?!

No. Such an internal, close connection is not required of them, but it is required of us.

Question: Will they also begin to come closer to each other as a result of our connection?

Answer: They will also begin to come closer to each other and to us. Then all of humanity will turn into one common whole.

Question: Can we say when we will deduce this law ourselves?

Answer: We cannot deduce this law ourselves, our egoism will not let us.

Question: Do you mean that we will be able to come to this conclusion only as a result of blows?

Answer: Yes. We already hold on to each other a little bit because we are afraid to be left alone against the hatred of the nations of the world.

Question: Which, as you say, is justified?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: But we had strong blows!

My Response: It does not matter, we do not know whether they were strong or weak. We do not know what to compare them with.

We know only one thing: that the Torah says so. The wisdom of Kabbalah explains this to us absolutely clearly. Do you want to be like other nations? It will not work! You should aim for connection between each other, for love between each other. Only then will you see that this is your salvation, up to the point that you will show other nations the correct connection between everyone and lead all nations to unification.

Question: Tell me, is it possible to destroy these Jewish people?

Answer: In no way. This is not a solution.

Question: Tell me, what is the solution on the part of the Jews and the solution on the part of the nations of the world?

Answer: On the part of the Jews: They do not see any solution at all, except that the nations of the world will change their attitude toward them by themselves. On the part of the nations of the world: Of course, it would be nice to destroy the Jews, but somehow it does not work out.

Question: Are you saying this ironically?

Answer: Yes. They even seem to say that it does not work out because God loves them, although He punishes them.

Question: What should be the conclusion from the nations of the world? “We have to bring them to this. We have to force them somehow.”

Answer: The nations of the world cannot realize that it is they who should force the Jews to come closer to each other. They are very far from this in order to direct the Jews toward coming closer to each other. Although, it would be, of course, salvation.

The conclusion is very simple: until the Jews, the people of Israel, in all their modifications and metamorphoses, understand that they must be together and reach unity in love with each other, until then nothing in the world will change. There will be ascents, descents, and various wars, no matter what. But, in principle, the world will not come to good in any way.

Question: Is there just one solution?

Answer: Yes, just one.

Question: Is there any force of internal energy that can suppress, say, arrogance? A Kabbalist is still at a much higher degree than an ordinary person. If a person has really gone too far, can a Kabbalist use some internal forces?

Answer: Upper forces, secret forces? He cannot, he does not know how, and he should not.

Comment: But there are people who go against the upper nature—so to say.

My Response: There are no people who go against upper forces. This is incorrect. No one goes against the upper forces. Not that he has no right to—he cannot, he is unable to because he is controlled by those same upper forces. How can I go against the Creator if what I do, say, and think comes from Him, and I am just a dummy, a puppet?

This cannot happen. You just have to understand that there are degrees where I have to rebel, including physically. It is said about this: “He who comes to kill you, kill him first.” And in all other cases—no. I cannot act here by any upper forces.

All the gain that a spiritual person has is in his spirit. He cannot use it to harm others. Otherwise, it is no longer spirit, it is not spiritual. The spiritual is only the right intention in the right action of bestowal and love. But this action can destroy the enemy both mentally and physically.

If you really act with love and dedication and your opponent is the opposite, then in the end, he will lose. It can happen through great suffering, through long-term problems, but he will lose. It will be so because he goes against the plan of nature.

Question: If you look at the Holocaust from this point of view, the Nazis lost because of it. But was it, as you have just explained, as a result of the fact that they were going against the plan of nature?

Answer: If the Jews were united among themselves—not against the fascists but among them according to the method of Kabbalah, according to the method of human development—then there would be no Holocaust, everything would be the opposite. Both Europe and the entire history of mankind would have developed differently.

Also today, if Israel were more united, if we could unite it under the banner of bestowal and love so as to become one, in a state of mutual guarantee, then, of course, we would not have any external problems with our neighbors.

All borders would be completely open, and the whole world would rise to a completely different level of relationships.

Question: You keep saying that unity of the people of Israel is the only salvation. Why are people so distant from each other in a nation that has such a destiny?

Answer: Unity is the truest thing, and therefore the egoism of humanity rises against it.

Our work is to attract everyone to unity through a long process of re-education and to become a source through which the whole world will understand how it needs to reorganize and achieve the revelation of the upper force so that the upper forces of nature, and later the general upper force as well, are revealed at the level of our world.

Then all of humanity will become eternal and perfect. But only if we reach unity among us as one person with one heart.

Question: Are you talking about Israel?

Answer: I am talking about the entire world. But first of all, it is Israel and those people in the world who feel an attraction, a need, a necessity, for this.

It is Israel, because in every Jew there is such a point in the heart. Other people in the world also have it, but it can be manifested today, or maybe in years, as they develop spiritually.

But the Jews are obliged to do this, and most of all the Israelis. If we go forward in our spiritual development, that is, toward uniting with each other, we will see how everything bad around us dissolves, we are given the opportunity to act further and feel only good influence and help.

I do not see any problems at all in the fact that those countries that are so vehemently opposed to us today will change. It depends on us, not on them. In their behavior, we must see the imprint of those missed opportunities that we can correct and do not correct.

Comment: It is said: “When you’re sick, you should see a doctor. He is given the right to treat.”

My Response: This was not said about our doctors and not in our time. It was about the times of Hippocrates and Avicenna, about the times when there were great Kabbalistic sages among the Jews before the collapse of the Temple.

The collapse of the Temple, meaning the fall of that part of humanity called the people of Israel from the spiritual degree greatly affected everything! The Middle Ages arrived, everything went into stagnation, and everything went into decline. Before that, even the Romans and Greeks were not so cruel.

Of course no one is to blame for this. It is the upper program that created such conditions through them. But the fact that through them the upper program destroyed Israel in the form in which it existed, even though it had already slipped to the point that it had to be destroyed, it turned the whole world around. Since then, medicine and everything has gone into a completely different direction.

Before that everything was different. Even relations among other nations were not as barbaric as later. Where are these ancient Greeks? Look at Greece for the last two thousand years. What was it like? And the Romans? And so on. Even the ancient Arab world. Everything has collapsed everywhere. Wars and battles were not needed.

However, all this is nearing completion.

Question: They say that when mobile telephone communication appeared, Israel ranked first  in terms of conversation activity. Not because there was a need to communicate, but simply by talking to each other.

Answer: Yes, Israelis like to chat no less than others. Of course, they cannot be compared to Italians or Spaniards. There are probably statistics about which nation in the world is the most talkative.

As for communication, technology, and all these things, a person has a very acute sense of needing them. This gives him the opportunity to be more connected with the world and with the world view, and not just to be shut within himself, but to be more open.

As before, people were accused of excessive openness, cosmopolitanism. The word “cosmopolitan” was considered a curse—a worldly man.

In Stalin’s time, cosmopolitans referred to Jews. This is partly true since, while Gypsies and other national minorities (as other nations surrounding Russia were then called) have something of their own that they steeped in, the Jews always strived to have common ties all over the world. Therefore, the word “cosmopolitan” suits them.

I think that the development of communication and the desire for technology that connects people is, in principle, part of their internal national culture. It is because the whole Jewish culture is fixated on the common connection of everyone and everything, on the need to see the world as common.

All the nations of the world celebrate the New Year as an ordinary corporeal holiday, and only the Jews have a special celebration as we celebrate the creation of Adam. This is a very significant date.

Five days before the New Year (Rosh HaShanah), the creation of the world took place, and on New Year’s Day, at the fifth hour of Friday, Adam was created.

All the red dates of the Jewish calendar are dedicated not to the corporeal holidays, but to various spiritual actions, including the creation of the world and the creation of Adam. They gave our people a general and purposeful movement forward.

Adam is a soul, i.e., a structure of force, a network of forces, which is supposedly located somewhere in space and is an analogy of the Creator.

But it was created from above, under the influence of the upper force, which is kindness, love, and bestowal. Therefore, the structure itself was in the same state of bestowal, love, and mercy toward itself, and was an internal, self-sufficient “cocoon” that did not need to develop, it existed by itself.

In order to force this structure to develop, it was necessary to shake it somehow, to introduce an element of interference into it, a sharp external influence. This was done with the help of an additional system called Hava or Eve. She disturbed Adam’s inner balance, and as a result, this structure exploded from the inside.

For example, when an imbalance occurs in an atomic bomb due to excessive convergence of the two halves, the critical mass increases and self-decay begins, which leads to a nuclear explosion.

The same thing happened here. It turns out that we basically celebrate the fall. It would seem that we should sit in mourning, fast, cry, and “sprinkle ashes on our heads.”

No, we celebrate it, because thanks to the shattering we can assemble ourselves from the fragments of Adam and Eve and bring ourselves to the state similar to the upper force that created them and become equal to it in perfection and eternity.

In this way, we correct what the Creator deliberately broke for us, just as parents disassemble a puzzle for a child so that he becomes smarter by assembling it. In all this action, we must see the preparation of the Creator who treats us with love and wishes that we reach His perfection, become equal to Him.

Therefore, we celebrate the opportunity given to us for correction as a holiday. This is the New Year.

Question: The Jewish New Year has come, the 5783^rd Rosh HaShanah. At the time when it all started, there were no Jews. But it is called “Jewish” and Jews celebrate it.

The global question now is whether this the Jewish New Year or is it the World New Year? What would you call it?

Answer: All those who take upon themselves the system of correction, meaning are included in this chronology, which is called Hebrew from the word “Ivri” – to cross the border between our egoistic world and the upper, altruistic one. So, those who want to cross this border, even if they have not yet moved from egoism to altruism, immediately the count goes to 5,783.

And then they call themselves “Ivri,” “Jew” from the word “Yihud” – “union,” because the transition takes place in connection. In this way they celebrate this date, the date of the descent into their hearts and minds of understanding of how we can move from our world, the egoistic state, to the upper world, the altruistic state.

Comment: Jews in Israel and around the world celebrate the New Year, this is the Jewish New Year. And you say, it is really those who cross or want to cross this border who celebrate it.

My Response: What is the news for everyone celebrating today that this is considered the new year? I understand that there can be many dates. But, in general, the main thing is not the date, but the meaning, the essence. And the point is that a person should change from an egoist to an altruist.

If a person wants to change, if he goes to this change, then the new year period comes for him.

Question: And all the attributes of the new year—apple, honey, sweetening life by dipping an apple in honey—does this have some deep spiritual meaning?

Answer: The spiritual meaning lies only in the human spirit. There are no spiritual roots in apples and honey, just like there isn’t in the head of a fish.

Comment: And they say that you need to start from the head, not from the tail.

My Response: Because this is the new year , the head of the year. That’s why it starts like this. But in principle, if you take not a fish, but a bull’s head? It could be even better. 🙂 The year will be even more successful. 🙂

Question: What is the spiritual meaning of the phrase “start from the head”?

Answer: You need to start from the head. Meaning, for what you want to live for this year, what it should give you, what you should rise up to, what you should demand from yourself, it’s all in the head.

Question: And what to rise to? What to demand from yourself?

Answer: Only getting closer to the Creator. Nothing more is needed. This is the only solid setting for us. And that is why we are called “Israel” – “Yashar Kel,” “straight to the Creator.”

Question: So, in principle, the new year is a constant thought and movement exclusively to the Creator?

Answer: It is not just constant thoughts and movements only in the new year. You’re the one making the groundwork for the whole of next year.

Question: So you do this kind of backing for the whole year? And if you put everything well and correctly, will the year roll? Will it go well?

Answer: No! It doesn’t mean anything yet. It would have been nice to pay off in the new year for the whole year! 🙂

Question: So it won’t work like this? Do you need to work constantly?

Answer: Yes, it won’t slip through.

Question: Then it turns out that every day can be a new year because every day you renew thoughts about the Creator and about the connection?

Answer: This is also true. So, this date is purely symbolic. There is nothing in this state of the Earth around the Sun and us on Earth, in general, there is nothing.

Question: What are your wishes to all people this New Year? You see how things are developing in the world. What a year we’ve had!

Answer: And it is still unknown what the new one will be like. We are facing really scary questions.

I think we should just wish humanity to be wiser. To understand what force really guides us, why such negative forces and threats arise in our world, and how we can even use them to turn ourselves in the right direction, to the right goal, to achieve unity, and in this unity discover the eternal great meaning.

Comment: You say that humor is especially inherent in Jews.

My Response: Jewish humor where people laugh at themselves is welcomed in Kabbalah, and therefore, it has penetrated into all Jewish literature, art, and worldview.

To some extent, this is also the case with the British. I have not observed such a feature in other peoples. It is very rare to find small, narrow zones in the culture of peoples where they laugh at themselves.

Most societies do not like it, they like to glorify themselves. All their anecdotes are based on their own praise. It seems to me that this speaks of some of their underdevelopment. They lack a sense of their own real place, and therefore they have to cheer themselves up all the time.

The English have a very particular humor, which does not exclude jokes about themselves. This also happens among some other peoples, but usually it is something specific, very narrow, for example, stinginess, frivolity, or impatience, meaning some distinct personality traits that are ridiculed.

And the Jews have it all over. All the character traits of an ordinary person are exaggerated and presented as common, typical, and ethnic. Moreover, all this is retold, encouraged, and inflated by the Jews themselves.

This suggests that the people are free from the need to showing themselves, they do not have a feeling of inferiority. That is, this is our nature, this is us, this is how I am, and that’s it.

The centuries-old development of the people, in general, gives such grounds. Whatever we do, the phenomenon itself exists. Therefore, I can make fun of everything, including my most terrible states.
