The correction of souls proceeds from the subtle vessels to the coarse ones. First, the subtle part of the soul, called “Israel,” receives the Torah, and then, through connection and mutual inclusion with it, all souls, without exception, with great Aviut, join the condition of mutual guarantee and reach the state of “as one man with one heart.”

In order to move from fathers to sons, additional Aviut was needed, which they acquired during the Egyptian exile by mixing with the Egyptians and taking Kelim from them. In addition, some of the Egyptians joined Israel.

This means that due to their stay in Egypt, they multiplied, transformed from a family into a nation, and received additional Aviut through mixing and mutual inclusion.

The same applies to the last exile. It is said: “Israel went into exile only to add the souls of the nations to themselves.” The last exile among the nations of the world had the purpose of adding the coarse vessels to the subtle ones. Of course, the subtle vessels are also in descent, in decline; otherwise, it would not be called “exile.”

However, after the last exile, the same condition arises again as when leaving Egypt. Those who are ready to leave exile can achieve the status of “as one man with one heart,” and then the condition of mutual guarantee and receiving the Torah can be realized in them too.

It is said that the Creator went from nation to nation, wishing to give the Torah for the correction of the qualities of the will to receive, but no one was able to accept it. Then He gave it to Israel, that is, to Galgalta ve Eynaim (GE).

Thus, there exist qualities called Galgalta ve Eynaim, and if they undergo a shattering together with the AHP and become mixed with it, then afterward, through them, it becomes possible to correct AHP, in other words, to bring the Torah to the nations of the world through Israel, as correction and fulfillment.

After all, the receiving vessels are, in fact, the purpose of creation, and their adhesion with the Creator is the desired final state.

Therefore, in correcting the souls after the shattering, when all these parts are intermixed, GE is corrected first, the category of Israel, which originally required no correction.

Still, it must be corrected so that, once extracted from the mixture and corrected, it serves as an auxiliary system intended solely to correct AHP.

Question: What, in essence, did we receive at the giving of the Torah?

Answer: At the giving of the Torah we deeply desired to become one man with one heart. But at the same time, we stood around the mountain of hatred, the mountain of egoism that had been revealed between us. Since we wanted to free ourselves from it and reach mutual love, we received the Torah.

If there are not many frictions between us, then we do not need the Torah, the force that corrects relationships between us. But if we discover mutual hatred toward each other and separation, like in today’s Israeli society, then we need the Torah, meaning the force of correction. That is why the wisdom of Kabbalah, which has been concealed for thousands of years, is now being revealed.

Kabbalah is being revealed precisely today because we have reached a state where we cannot manage without it. We must reveal all our mutual hatred in order to feel the need for the correcting force. Until the hatred is clearly revealed, the Torah is not needed.

That is why it is said: “I created the evil inclination”, meaning, we reveal our evil nature and egoistic attitude toward others, and then we need the Torah to correct it. For this reason, the Torah was given at Mount Sinai, the mountain of hatred.

Question: At Mount Sinai, did the people of Israel feel like one nation?

Answer: At Mount Sinai, we did not yet feel ourselves as one nation, but we were ready to come to that. Everyone was asked: “Do you agree to unite, or will this be your burial place?”

Question: What can we do if today’s Israeli society is so fractured that there are not even the slightest impulses toward unity?

Answer: That is exactly why the wisdom of Kabbalah is coming out of concealment and explaining to the people of Israel what their mission is. Otherwise, we will have no right to exist on this land. It is precisely now that the Ten Commandments proclaimed at Mount Sinai become highly relevant again.

After all, we have physically returned to the Land of Israel and have received the opportunity to reestablish an independent Jewish state on it. In the face of the division and hatred that are growing more and more between us every day, we are beginning to realize that we need the force of correction.

Question: What is the meaning of the holiday of the Giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and what does it mean that we have received the Torah? We do not seem to keep its commandments. It is rather the opposite. It says “do not steal”—we steal; “do not covet other’s property”—we covet.

How does the Torah relate to our lives today? Could the Creator have been mistaken when He gave the Torah specifically to the people of Israel?

Answer: There is giving of the Torah, and there is receiving it. The problem is that although the Torah was given to us, we never received it. Today’s Israeli society is very far from what it should be in living according to the laws of the Torah. Therefore we are still considered to be in exile.

Question: But we got the Torah, we have it!

Answer: We have the book that says “Torah,” but that is not enough. The Torah is the upper light that returns to the source. The light corrects our egoistic nature, and leads us to love and mutual participation, until we love others as ourselves.

This is called the realization of the Torah. The Torah is the light, as it is said: “I created the evil inclination and the Torah to correct it.” The Jewish people have the most developed egoism, and it is not for nothing that our people are called “stiff-necked.” Therefore we received the Torah for its correction—the light that reforms.

In the past, during the time of the First and Second Temples, the people of Israel used this light for correction. Later they fell from this level, which is called the destruction of the Temple, and they went into exile. It is an exile from a life based on the law of love of others.

Today no one even thinks about loving others anymore. Only the external traditions remain of the Torah.

Question: Have we not received the Torah yet because not everyone fulfills religious commandments?

Answer: We are not talking about religious commandments. The law of the Torah is to love one’s neighbor as oneself. Rabbi Akiva calls this the great rule of the Torah, which includes all other commandments. Therefore by fulfilling the commandments mechanically, a person should check: does this bring him closer to love of others, or does it maybe even alienate him? Does it create a split among the people and incite hatred?

Is this the Torah that we got? We have received the highest remedy, because the Torah is light, an upper force that affects us, if we fulfill special conditions. This force can correct our nature and allow us to open the upper world, to open our eyes and see where we really are.

The Torah is eternal, and with its help we can also achieve eternal life. But this is only on condition that we really find out what the true Torah and the commandment of loving one’s neighbor as oneself mean, which combines all the commandments.

Question: You say that in our nation, due to the subtlety of the Aviut (coarseness of the Kli), there is a readiness to perceive the spiritual idea. So how can we actually implement it so that people engage with it not only externally?

Answer: The readiness of the people of Israel (who are supposed to be the first to receive the Torah) stems from the fact that they are the subtlest part in the souls that began to emerge during the time of Abraham. At that time, out of all the souls in the world, this specific part that felt a connection to the upper light manifested itself.

From the collective assembly of souls, a kind of a “tribe” began to take shape, a group, a small handful of souls who, who due to their subtlety, began to correct themselves and managed to unite.

Who then are the “sons of Abraham” and the entire group that descended from him in the corporeal world? They are the consequences of the subtle souls emerging one after another again and again but on increasingly higher levels of Aviut.

In our world, this happens through the natural succession of fathers and sons. In one way or another, the souls that came from Abraham were clothed in the bodies of his descendants in the first, second, third generation, and so on.

And today, due to mutual inclusion, there are subtle souls among the nations of the world who feel the part of Israel that has mingled with them. And who knows the current state of the tribes of Israel at all; where are they all? We do not know this.

Suddenly, we are told: “Did you hear? In Pakistan, there are 25 million people related to the people of Israel.” And indeed, in the coming years, things will be revealed that we cannot even imagine today.

Ultimately, based on what we know today, we must certainly say that the part called “Jews” in this world is obligated to reach mutual guarantee (Arvut) by the root of their soul. This is their duty.

At the same time, there are parts of the nation that apparently do not bear this obligation. Therefore, we do not see them and do not know about them. Suddenly, Ethiopians or others appear among the nation. Many have not yet been revealed because their time has not come yet, even among the people of Israel themselves.

Question: Why should one not introduce emotion when explaining things to the masses if it can help attract an audience?

Answer: The point is that when you introduce emotion into an explanation, you introduce yourself, either your empty Kelim or Kelim that have been filled. But this is something personal.

And when you speak rationally, you are talking about facts, which are seemingly above emotion. Facts are facts. They are like faith above reason. Whether you like it or not, it is the law, it is reality. Then you pass it on to others as something independent of you or of them.

You are simply giving people the opportunity to see the law; whether they want to be for it or against it, that is their business. If not, we will enter another round of suffering. And the person will translate this into their own feelings.

I would say that this kind of dissemination is the best: you do not look inspired by what you are saying, but you speak as if your “self” has been removed from the topic altogether.

You are like a mechanism issuing information, and that is it. It does not matter whether you belong to the nation of Israel or to the nations of the world, you are like an auxiliary force, a sort of angel from heaven, telling people what is happening.

This is best, because then everyone feels that you are impartial.

But by being impartial, you speak to people in a way that awakens feelings in them. This is precisely the form we must find in dissemination, even though it both depends on us and does not depend on us.

Because life will soon become such that a person will immediately feel that here you have touched their innermost point.

We are now at a point in time when the world is ready to embrace the method of spiritual correction. If such thoughts and awareness are awakening in the world( as we have seen recently), it is a clear sign that the world is indeed ready.

If, under the pressure of suffering and the question of life’s meaning, people begin to ask “What is the point of the Jewish people’s existence?”, then the answer to that can also begin to be understood.

Humanity is now undergoing very deep, powerful processes. The thoughts circulating around the world, especially in a world interconnected through modern communication, are once again leading to the mixing of Reshimot from the time of the breaking of the vessels.

What is happening today? The world will soon unite around the idea that there is a certain nation, as Haman once said, that interferes with everyone, and that the solution is simply to eliminate it.

This idea will soon become fashionable. Every “cultured” person will begin to speak of it in a respectable, acceptable way, and present himself as understanding the real structure of the world and identifying the source of its evil.

He will express his desire to fix the world, to make it better, by surgically removing the “evil” from it. This will appear very clear, very rational, very scientific, supported by historical and philosophical arguments, and it will be presented as something real and correct.

After all, the Germans were also the most cultured and developed nation at the time of the Holocaust. And that was not by chance. That is how this entire philosophy developed, though it is not new; it has existed since the time of the destruction of the temple.

So if such questions arise: “What is the cause, and what is the answer?”, it means the world is now more ready to hear.

If I weren’t involved in dissemination, I wouldn’t leave the house. Ever. If we start asking ourselves whether the world is expecting this from us, whether it will look at it favorably…

How could the world possibly look at us favorably?! From the start, we must completely throw out any possibility of trying to accommodate that! We should only care about one thing: how to present ourselves as pleasantly as possible in their eyes, but without compromising our mission. No distortion, no substitution of the task.

“As pleasantly as possible” means that since it’s hard for them to grasp our idea, we should make it as easy as possible for them to perceive it. But aside from that, we must be like flint. This is what is entrusted to us, and this is what I do. People receive it just fine.

I have given lectures in various countries before thousands of people who had no favorable attitude toward me, toward Israel, or toward Kabbalah.

But when I explained that there is a difference between me and them, and that I had come to speak precisely about that difference, about the purpose of the world, why it exists, what I must do in it, and what you must do in it, and why for thousands of years we have been in this opposition, where it comes from and for what reason—they listened!

There is a willingness to listen because the problem is evident. Moreover, they responded calmly, without shouting, without voicing opposition not against me nor against the topic. They listened from beginning to end. The explanation was simple. This should always be our motto, the central message of every one of our presentations.

Otherwise, why did you come? To talk about the upper worlds? Why? Baal HaSulam says: What do I care how many angels are in heaven and what their names are? You came to speak about what truly concerns us, and that it concerns us for a reason. And the audience will listen.

Question: In striving to achieve mutual guarantee, is it possible that we are directing too much effort outward instead of acting within ourselves?

Answer: This might be valid if we didn’t find in practice that engaging in external dissemination unites us, gives us confidence, strength, and upliftment, which we receive back from the communities we serve.

By building something outwardly, we thereby build ourselves. It is impossible to say what the correct balance should be. We try. This, essentially, is a kind of action called “we will do and we will hear.”

We see that we are constantly undergoing changes. One must act according to the understanding of one’s state. What else can we do? This is our path, because seeking and discovering is that practical work through which we carry out clarifications and corrections.

To aspire toward the final state is good. But by discovering different things now and performing tiny actions, we generate details of perception without which the end of correction cannot be felt.

The difference between the end of correction and the beginning of creation lies only in the added details of our perception (Avchanot), which we collect along the way.

You return to the same state, only inside yourself you become more diverse and more refined; more opposite details of perception and distinguishable inner qualities appear within you.

This is what allows you, instead of being a point merged with the Creator as you once were, to become a Partzuf and truly existing on His level.

Question: What do we lack more in dissemination: physical or internal efforts?

Answer: We lack both internal dissemination, inside ourselves, and dissemination in the group—the group to each one, and each one to the group—and dissemination outside the group, to the people.

We must disseminate to the people both internally, in thoughts, when we think about it and want it to happen, which is called prayer for the society, and also in the form accepted in the world, in action. In other words, both in our spiritual plane at the level of thoughts, desires, and in the plane of physical, corporeal actions.

We must look for such forms so that a person accepts what is good for him, what he will not accept in any other way. Just as suitable food is specially prepared for a sick person: for example, more liquid, not too fatty, etc., so we must do this. Our task is to prepare medicine for the people in such a way that they can swallow it.

But this does not mean that we should lag behind. After all, in the case of a sick person, you do not waste time; you immediately give him what is good for him, but in a form in which he can accept it so that everything is better absorbed in him. It is the same way here!

Therefore, we need to distribute delicately and slowly, while taking into account the capabilities of people.
