Kabbalah – A Bridge Connecting Jews

Question: Two hundred years ago, American reformists wanted to take the religion of the fathers, their traditions, and adapt to modernity. This conflict between Orthodox Jews in Israel and American Reformists continues to this day. What can be the bridge that connects them over all traditions and divisions?

Answer: Nothing but the science of Kabbalah, which is the basis, the core, the inner part, of real Judaism and explains who the Jews are, where they came from, what they should be, what to bring to the world, and what their purpose is. Only in this case will something change.

Remark: But it has been written about that everywhere, and they can read it.

My Response: They will not be able to read it because they will not want to. Even if they read it, they will not take these words into account, much less realize it themselves. It doesn’t seem to exist for them.

Question: Does this mean that Kabbalists will have to set an example?

Answer: Kabbalists will have to organize themselves. I hope this will happen within the next 10 to 20 years. At the same time, the world will sink into the abyss of disunity and all kinds of crises: political, military, economic, natural, and climatic. As a result, Judaism must explain to itself and to others that it is in it that there is the right attitude of man to man and to nature, which will bring everything into balance.

This is the purpose of the Jews: to become a light for the peoples of the world. First for yourself and then for others.

American Reformism

Question: As you know, German Jews were reformists. The arrival in America of hundreds of thousands of fellow believers from Eastern Europe (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Poland) did not make them happy because these Jews were Orthodox. On this basis, conflicts arose. Bohemian Isaac Mayer Wise is credited with founding American Reform Judaism.

What is the basis of reformism? What is the reason for this phenomenon in Judaism?

Answer: Reformism believes that religion should be left as a kind of background where it unites the people. And where it does not unite, it has to be removed. It is necessary to remove the orthodox religion from society because it divides it into clans, classes, etc.

Even in Russia, there were different rabbis in the villages who differed in their interpretations of Judaism and in everything else. And even more so, Eastern and Western Jews, Litvak and Belarusian Hasidim. Naturally, all this prevented unification.

On the other hand, American Jews wanted a purely mercantile use of their origin for their own good, and therefore sought to partially soften the tradition. We see that over the years, American Jewish society has more or less retained an indifferent form.

Of course, the difference between Jews is very large, but it is regarded according to the wallet, like the rest of American society. For example, in synagogues there are certain places for those who make large donations, for those who cannot pay that much, for special individuals, and for ordinary people, which cannot be in a meetinghouse. The Americans, with their inherent division of a person by pocket or rank, do it rather unceremoniously, which leaves an imprint on modern American Judaism.

But on the other hand, this led to the fact that today this Judaism, in principle, does not exist. It became the so-called three days a year Judaism, when people come to the synagogue only on holidays: Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Passover, etc. The rest comes down to you mailing a check to your rabbi or community.

Religion Is a Factor Dividing Society

Question: A hundred years after the resettlement of German Jews to America, Russian Jews began to arrive.

According to the American writer Stephen Birmingham, German Jews were already respectable, well-dressed, bourgeois-looking and wealthy, and the new immigrants from Eastern Europe were ragged, impoverished, actively bearing the charge of their culture, fierce suffering, and pogroms. They were idealistic socialists.

German Jews were very much afraid of the Russians, especially their idea of ​​organizing trade unions. Therefore, disagreements arose between them, but not on religious, rather on social grounds.

The famous American actor Kirk Douglas who comes from a family of Belarusian Jews noted that anti-Semitism was sometimes most strong among Jews, particularly with German Jews hating Russian and Polish Jews.

Why is the discord between Jews not only on religious but also on social grounds?

Answer: Our religion does not unite Jews. On the contrary, it makes everyone an individualist because it is not built on the true foundation of Judaism, which says “love your neighbor as yourself,” above all differences.

Religion believes that a Jew must fulfill everything that is said in the “Shulchan Aruch” (Code of Laws), and by this he will ensure his future in this and the next world. All the rest does not matter.

Question: Can’t external traditions unite people?

Answer: External traditions divide.

Question: Why is there the strongest anti-Semitism among Jews?

Answer: A Jew is a person who must show the whole world the way to unity, to “love your neighbor as yourself,” to rise above all the differences that love covers. We must be a light for the peoples of the world. And if we do not bear this, then we are in disunity and everyone hates us.

And where do we get the right message if we do not receive the appropriate education? Religion says nothing about it. On the contrary, it pits us against each other: these are Sephardim, these are black, these are white, these are Eastern, and these are Western, and so on. Everything is built on bringing maximum disunity into society.

To this day, we see this among Orthodox Jews. The more Orthodox a Jew is, the more he is attached to his narrow clan, to the extent that marrying others is a big problem. Only in recent years, somewhere, somehow, this has softened, but still not in strictly Orthodox communities.

At the same time, the non-religious part of society in Israel, and even in America, is absolutely indifferent to various parts of society and is ready to unite with them.

This clearly shows how much religion divides society into classes and groups, and how a departure from religion attracts people to be more connected with each other.

The Failure of Religion to Unite the Jews

Question: In the middle of the 19th century, a large wave of emigration of Jews from Germany and Austria to America began. Their number in the country increased by several tens of thousands. They were divided here into “aborigines,” who were the Sephardim living in America for several hundred years, and “Germans,” who had just arrived.

The well-established Sephardic community did not accept German (Ashkenazi) immigrants. As the American writer Stephen Birmingham wrote: “The newer immigrants were poor, they needed baths, they worked as foot peddlers, they spoke with accents. They lacked the social status that the Jewish first families had achieved, the breeding, the education, yet they called themselves brethren. …They were an embarrassment. By the early 1800’s, they were threatening to fling the fabric of Jewish society in America apart, threatening the ‘tribal’ feeling that is at the heart of all feelings of Jewishness.”

How did it happen that one religion and common traditions could not unite people in one family?

Answer: Jews cannot unite through religion. This has never happened in history. On the contrary, their amazing religion separates them.

And this is natural, because the real religion is the science of Kabbalah, which says that one must rise above all differences, above one’s egoistic nature. Only in this case will you be what is called a Jew, that is, someone that unites all of humanity.

And if this beginning is not in a person, if he does not understand his true cosmic function of uniting everyone and everything, then he is separated from the rest. Therefore, there is a huge fragmentation and separation within one family of all against all. There is no nation more internally disunited than the Jews.

Question: The pandemic caused a new violent outburst of anti-Semitism. There is more and more dislike of the Jews. Something like a new protocol of the elders of Zion is being released, which is purported to state that Jews allegedly are seeking to conquer the world and have resorted to using the coronavirus to prepare a market for the sale of a vaccine in order to reap colossal profits.

Is this always inevitable in times of crisis?

Answer: This will be until the final correction. If we do not bring the correction to the world, the world turns to us and demands this correction, but in their own words.

We must understand that if we do not actively correct our world, that is, the connection between all the people, we by ourselves cause the negative attitude of the world to us, and naturally, we will be in trouble.

Question: Is it us who should become pioneers of unity to begin this unification?

Answer: Of course. No one can do it besides us. This is our work, this is our mission, this is what we must do. If we do not do that, we are offered other “work.”

Question: Were Jews brought in this world solely for this work? Not for progress, not for Nobel Laureates, not for discoveries?

Answer: No! These are all by products that nobody needs. They just annoy people. Everything that was invented in the world was done by the Jews, and this did not do anything good for the world.

In order for the world to unite and be one, a group of people was selected from this world little by little from all its places and corners. These people must absolutely clearly participate in the connection of all humanity. There is no escaping this!

Question: Will it always so, at any time?

Answer: Not always. I hope that this will end soon. That is, either toward happiness by the stick or, conversely, with honor and respect.

There is hope. Even greater than before. Then everything will calm down.

Question: Will the enemies and the worst haters become friends?

Answer: Absolutely! They will understand the reason for their hatred. They will say, “We were right to hate you! It was because you did not do your work, your function, your purpose. Now, of course, we love you!”

Question: Do you think that these who are shaking with hatred for Jews will become their closest friends?

Answer: Of course! This will happen. All the haters really will become loving, close ones, helpers, friends, and associates in bringing humanity to unification.

The Most Active Part of Society

Question: America was originally established for emigrants. The first Jewish settlers were the Sephardi. Already in the 20s of the 20th century about six thousand Jews lived in America. In a short time, they achieved full equality in rights. And the process of their assimilation and Americanization began.

Interestingly, the following phenomenon has been observed throughout history: Jews always become more American than Americans, more Russian than Russians, more Spanish than Spaniards. Why does this happen?

Answer: First, despite the fact that the Jews have their own religion, they practically did not have their own language. They came to America from all over the world. Some spoke Yiddish, some Arabic, etc. That is, there was no common base for everyone. Therefore, they could not have much contact with other groups of immigrants.

On the other hand, Jews were the most active part of society, which immediately began to settle in places, open their schools and other institutions necessary for the existence of their community. They very energetically set about to establish themselves as a people living in America and at the same time to develop various types of business.

Therefore, as the most active part of the population in any country, and even more so in America, they have shown themselves as pioneers in all spheres of activity of the new American society.

Question: Which generations, in your opinion, can be distinguished as a starting point in the development of humanity?

Answer: There are many such generations! Each generation determines something in humanity.

As for the spiritual development of the world, it began with the construction of the First Temple. However, it is not about its construction, but about the period when people began to seriously connect with each other and reveal the upper force, the Creator, in their connection.

Question: Do you think that it was from this period, 1000 years BC, that the spiritual development of all humanity began?

Answer: It began even earlier, in ancient Babylon. However, it became especially intense since the construction of the First Temple.

Remark: Baal HaSulam wrote that the Torah was given to the people of Israel for improvement; however, here the people of Israel play the role of guides.

My Comment: “Torah,” from the word “Oraa” (instruction), is a method of uniting. We do not need to do anything except correctly implementing in on ourselves and demonstrate to thepeoples of the world how to apply it. Then everything will settle down and take its place.

Being guides means that once we connect properly with each other and begin to understand in detail how the control system works that influences our world from the upper world (called the Torah), we can do the same for the nations of the world.

In this way the system of the upper governance will begin to influence all of humanity through us. We all will become one single whole, controlled from above, and the world will reach its correct, perfect state.

Question: Looking at the world today, it is hard to imagine that Jews can be spiritual guides and give something to the world, except for such things like Hollywood, business, IT technologies. Can they really bring any moral values and change social relationships?

Answer: To do this, we need to turn everything a little upside down, place everything as it should be. Kabbalists call for this, but no one is listening to them so far.

According to Kabbalah, the world will experience tremendous suffering, falls, and crises in all directions at all levels until people understand what the cause of their ever-growing problems is and the people of Israel understand that everything that happens in the world depends on them.

They are the source of all evil in the world. It does not mean they radiate evil from within themselves, but the people of Israel just do not bring the method of correction that leads to good into our world.

This is their problem, and this is why the peoples of the world hate them. This will continue until all the nations of the world get together against the people of Israel and force them to think seriously about what Kabbalah has been saying for several thousand years now: bring all peoples to the correct state, to connection between them.

Question: During the Enlightenment, many Jews moved to cities. 70 to 80% of them were engaged in trade, worked in factories, enrolled in universities, served in the army, and created their own parties. There was a departure from religion.

Jews participated everywhere, even in the most anti-Semitic organizations. Among them were Mensheviks, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Bolsheviks, and even Black Hundreds.

A new division appeared, a religious one, which became one block, and the part that left religion. Why, from the point of view of the purpose of creation is such a withdrawal from the spiritual roots of the majority of Jews?

Answer: Neither Hasidim nor the Litvaks [Lithuanian Jews] suited people who needed a clear methodology. What is religion for? Where does it lead? What is its purpose, its meaning? Why is it given to the Jewish people?

This is a natural set of questions that arise among Jews who have gone through such long exiles, who emerged from the Middle Ages surrounded by other peoples, who also began to catch up, develop science, open universities, etc.

In addition, a vision about the Jewish masses was created as being completely intimidated, ignorant, very far from the modern, constantly developing world. Therefore, there was a very serious difference between the progressive Jewish strata who went into science, art, and those who remained in the Jewish villages, in their yeshivas [Jewish educational institutions devoted to Talmudic study].

Question: But from the point of view of spiritual development is it good that people leave their history and forget everything?

Answer: This story has outlived its usefulness since it existed on the ruins of the destroyed Temple. It had no opportunity to continue further. There is a time to scatter stones and a time to collect them.

But to this day, echoes of that period are felt, although in our time not so much because the leaders of the religious part of the people realized that something had to be done, to somehow develop further.

Therefore, in recent years, they no longer alienate people from approaching science, from acquiring normal occupations.

Earlier, if a person wanted to live a religious life, he condemned himself to a beggarly existence without a normal profession. His family lived on a level lower than the rest of the Jews that were engaged in civilian practices.

Therefore, having received the rights, the Jews rushed to the cities, to factories. When the Bolsheviks came to power, Jews became the bulk of the leadership in all parties and organizations. Not only men, but also women. Paradoxically, most of the Soviet leaders had Jewish wives.

For more on this topic, read my book The Jewish Choice: Unity or Anti-Semitism, Historical facts on anti-Semitism as a reflection of Jewish social discord.

Question: In the seventies and then in the nineties of the twentieth century, the repatriation of Jews from the Soviet Union began. Why, after the establishment of the State of Israel, are we gathered here right now?

Answer: We live in a unique time. Now it must be decided whether we will go the right way, meaning that we will explain to the Jewish people, wherever they are and no matter how they are mixed with other nations, their special historical role: to show the method of unification to all the peoples of the world. We need to fulfill this mission, and then the world will achieve its correct, perfect, comfortable existence.

If we do not do this, then the world will have to plunge into even greater troubles. In the end, it will still realize the viciousness of his selfish development, but this will happen after many years of severe suffering.

Question: Spiritual development, meaning an appeal to the study of the Creator, nature, and the soul, began to revive in the 18th century with the emergence of Hasidism. Interestingly, the first Zionists came from Russia. In principle, they created the State of Israel. Is it somehow connected with the same Hasidism?

Answer: They were all from Jewish religious communities so they had an instinctive inner movement toward unification, plus external oppression. So it all coincided.

But in our time there is a completely different state of both people and the state. The rapidly expanding global anti-Semitism will probably take on a driving role that will bring Jews together in one place and make them realize why they are so hated.

Question: It turns out that it was the Zionists from Russia who became the basis for the formation of the State of Israel and for spiritual development in general?

Answer: Yes. First, they renounced the faith and left the religious part of the people that did not support the resettlement to the land of Israel. These were non-religious, absolutely healthy, vigorous young people who believed that it was necessary to build socialism and communism, not on foreign lands, but here, in Israel. That is why they came here with such a communistic impulse.
