New Life #160 – The Bible and People of the Book
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

The Bible is the foundation for human civilization and is eternal in its unfolding wisdom and power. It teaches us how to approach the upper force through the system of relationships between people and God. It is a well of living water to those who want to be in complete love and are willing to demand help from God. The People of the Book are a group of people who want to be in complete love, and they demand help from God for this These people embrace “And you shall love your friend as yourself” as the goal of their existence as a society. The Light of the Torah and the discovery of divinity must be realized daily in the loving relationships between us.

New Life 158 – The Ten Commandments, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Mount Sinai symbolizes a mountain of hatred (Sinah) and mutual rejection above which we must connect. The revelation of divinity at Mount Sinai is the discovery of the characteristic of mutual bestowal between people. Kindness and love for others, taught by Abraham, is at the foundation of the people of Israel. The people of Israel are destined to become a “kingdom of priests” (Exodus 19:10) and bring all of humanity to connection and love.

New Life #157 – Judaism and God
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

The Creator is the general power of nature. The force of love and bestowal in nature is the foundation of everything. Developing love for others is called Creator lives in me, which I reveal within me. Believing in God is to “love your neighbor as yourself,” to be similar to the force of love. The people of Israel are basically a group of people who have agreed to have a relationship of love and bestowal.

New Life #156 – The Vision of One Family and the Jewish Root
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

What kind of atmosphere will we create here if we all try to relate to others as a family and how is this connected to the roots of the Jewish people? Judaism is based on the principle taught by our father Abraham: “And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18). Abraham taught how to overcome the coldness that separates us and to activate the power of connection. The foundation of Judaism is unity and connection. Building a society here as one family is the connection to our Jewish root. Connecting as one person with one heart, we unite with all of nature, all of reality, we contact eternity, and we feel wholeness. We must reach this lofty state today and bring Light to the world!

New Life #153 – The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

There is an inner connection between Israel and the world and healing the root, Israel, will solve all the global problems. The UN should push Israel to fulfill its fateful role and lead the world to perfection. If Israel would build a model society, then all nations would feel this and would understand how to connect as well. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict will be resolved through the connection between us, which will bring a good force to the world. We should arrange a connection like in a family when the husband and wife connect above all the gaps for the sake of the children.

New Life #152 – The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

The nation of Israel is a natural social phenomenon. It is a small group of people from which operating commands spread around the world. The world is completely influenced by Israel’s relationships both internally and externally. Jewish people have a unique ability to rise above their differences and provide an example of positive relations between people to the whole world. When they fail to radiate connection, the world suffers, accuses them, and closes in on them. Anti-Semitism is a law of social nature. Currently, the lack of connection within Israel is causing the global crisis. The Palestinians want the Israelis to leave the area and the world wants them to completely disappear. Jews are not realizing our destiny or the reason we were given a state. The great anti-Semites wrote that if the Jews were to connect, all the world’s problems would be solved. A show of connection will reassure everyone. The world expects us to bring it to a perfect new experience of life in which each person feels full and complete. It is in our power to decide.

New Life 151 – Socioeconomic Gaps
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Happiness is really a divine product. We all have a much higher standard of living than we had 50 years ago but there is no joy. We are divided, distant, and alienated from one another. The growing human ego demands something new. We haven’t yet digested what it is. We can’t fill ourselves and are no longer satisfied with material attainments, no matter how wealthy we are. Technology frees most of us from the need to work and yet, we are left without much of a reason for living alone. The source of the new happiness is found on the social level of human life. We lack warmth and heart-to-heart connection like a child in his mother’s lap. We used to live in a family and today we need to us to embrace the whole world as family. The gaps between us will remain but the feeling of family and mutual concern will soon be awakened between everyone.

New Life #150 – Patching Together the Religious-Secular Divide, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

Israel is the vanguard of the world. Israeli people are unique in that they have an impression from the connection and brotherly love, which dwelled among them in the past. Israel includes representatives from all cultures and is like a mini-world. All the diverse segments of society are in crisis since the ego has reached gigantic dimensions. Just as the socioeconomic problems in Israel are happening all over the world, the solution for Israel is also universal and will heal the whole world. Either the whole world will consolidate against us with tremendous pressure, or we will educate ourselves for connection. Our situation is very dangerous. We are playing here like children in a sandbox while our situation is deteriorating. Waves of fascism and Nazism are again beginning to threaten the stability of the world.

We need to create a wave of healing here that will inundate the whole world. Do not become involved with quarrels between the different factions; rise above them. All of us have a common enemy—the ego. Each faction will receive an allotment for its true needs only on condition that it approaches connection with everyone. How do we deal with points of contention? The same way we do at home, with our partner. We first rise above the argument, connect, and then solve the problem together. That is how an argument can increase mutual connection. We transform the bad that is discovered between us into good thereby strengthening the love.

New Life #149 – Patching Together the Religious-Secular Divide, Part 1
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

A Jew (Yehudi) is someone who is attracted to unity (Yechud) and unification (Eichud). Israel refers to a society based on the principle “And you shall love your friend as yourself” (Leviticus 19:18) without various external religious or secular images. No individual sector will achieve anything without a good connection between the parts. We need to overcome the historical gaps between us and embrace one faith based on love from human heart to human heart. If we succeed, we will discover new forms of pleasure and the infinite power of nature that is latent among us!

New Life #148 – The Journey to the Root, Part 2
Dr. Michael Laitman in conversation with Oren Levi and Nitzah Mazoz

Summary

The power of bestowal is the highest power in reality and dominates everything. Abraham’s group learned how to be like one warm, connected family and became the people of Israel. Later, they fell into the ego and engaged in a constant internal battle between the force of separation and the force of connection. Today, we need to recreate Abraham’s action by establishing a new education system based on the principle “love your neighbor as yourself.” We need to engage in a national mission to reconnect to our roots. The key to a spiritual life is hidden in the genes of the Jewish people. Human connection is our salvation and the solution to all our problems. The change will not come about with a strong fist but by providing the whole world with an example of a corrected society. Our Israeli mission is not for ourselves but to lead all of humanity forward by spreading the original social code based on connection above all division. By balancing the two forces of nature in this way, we embrace the different shades within one global, loving, human family.
