Question: When a person finds himself in a difficult situation, often hopeless, he turns to the Creator. Today, many people in our country turn to the Creator. Some have already lowered their hands in helplessness, some in anger, some in a plea, prayer, and demand, meaning, the Creator turned the nation to Him today.

Our hearing is sharpened today. What do you think we should hear? What does the Creator want to tell us?

Answer: That we should unite. This is the most important thing. If we unite, then we will defeat our internal enemy and external enemy, and in general then we will win.

Comment: You separate internal and external enemy; please explain this.

My Response: The most important thing is our egoism. We must defeat it, and then we will defeat the external enemy.

Question: So, one depends on the other?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And yet, what is the Creator telling us now?

Answer: He only tells us about connection. Nothing else! He will act in accordance with our connection.

Question: Today, every mother and every father who have a son or a daughter in the army, flinches at the sound of a doorbell ringing even more than from a siren. It isn’t from a phone ringing, but a doorbell. It is clear why; they are afraid that three officers will come in and suddenly tell them that their son, their daughter, or their husband has died.

The question is in what exactly is our maximum effort to save the lives of our children, relatives, and loved ones who are now on the front line?

Answer: The answer is the same—in our unification. In our unification in all cases and under all conditions.

Comment: You say “unification.” We hear this around us too, but you add something else to it.

My Response: What I mean by this is that we must unite in such a way that the Creator wishes to create a dome over us that will protect us, and most importantly, unite us. The Creator is waiting for this.

Question: Does He expect us precisely to turn to Him or that we want to unite and then turn to Him? What is the sequence?

Answer: That we will unite and turn to Him.

Question: And why do we turn to Him when we unite? After all, we have already united.

Answer: We begin to feel the need for Him then.

Question: Why does precisely this effort to unite lead to the need for the Creator?

Answer: Because then we begin to feel this upper force that can protect us, unite us, and save us from external and internal hatred.

Question: And if we now offer this formula to everyone that our unification leads to… what? How would you put it?

Answer: Our unification leads us to protection from above. Then the Creator is with us.

Comment: So far the world supports us. So far everyone is horrified by the footage of Hamas fighters as they were attacking, showing how they were killing, and as they were taking prisoners. The world shuddered. But time is running out, we are launching an operation to destroy Hamas.

And you understand that literally after some time pressure will begin, and it will be a terrible pressure, enormous, from the whole world.

My Response: It depends on how much we will be together.

Question: If we are together, we can have an answer?

Answer: To move on and on. They wanted to throw us into the sea, we have to throw them into the sea.

Question: The army [in Israel] is totally mobilized. No one is running away from serving; there is 100% turnout.

Why Did We Come To The Land Of Israel?

Question: More and more facts of terrorist atrocities are being revealed now. They were horrific! We are not even seeing all the photos that might be posted someday.

We did a 14-minute-long program with you about this. People watched it to the end. It received lots of views, almost a million, in 24 hours. This has never happened before. It received a lot of warm and heartfelt support and a very large flow of curses.

“You are aggressors! You torture the Palestinian people! How dare you say that this territory needs to be resettled, that it cannot exist next to you!” And so on. I will not repeat it because you know all this very well. The first question is: how do you feel about this?

Answer: I take this evenly. Even if there were no criticism, I do not react to it. This is a natural response of people who are on the other side of justice.

This will stop if we become loving, mutually obliging, and so on. Otherwise, we will feel bad all the time. We can say that the nations of the world are leading us to correction with their own hands.

Question: And the fact that people are very distrustful of this—of the fact that everything will change, that Jews must change, this being chosen?

Answer: It seems truly incredible, but I believe that no matter what, we will turn into who we are meant to be.

Question: Do you mean “Love your neighbor as yourself”?

Answer: Yes. And then all the nations of the world will say: “Look what the Creator did to them.”

They will see that we are one nation treating each other with love and not with mutual hatred, demonstrations, and all sorts of antics. And they will be happy to approach us and learn from us about this opportunity to live in peace and love.

That is, we have no choice. The Creator again gives us an opportunity, an incredible opportunity, so that we can establish a good connection between us and Him.

I consider what happened to us a miracle. Because there were no guards, no front, no one! They could have just calmly slaughtered all of us. This is what the Creator showed us—how we kill ourselves with our opposition, contradiction, and discord between each other. It is terrible!

The only thing I would wish is to beg the Creator not to let His people go until they are corrected. You must be a Jew, be different, and then everything will work out for you.

Question: What do you mean by the word “Jew”?

Answer: Yehudi (Jew) comes from the word “Yehud” (unity).

Question: Then everything will work out for us and everything will work out for the world?

Answer: Yes. But now we still live in debt. The world is suffering because of us and yet forgives us. And all this comes from above.

So we have no right to make claims to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to be strong today?

Answer: It means to be united. Nothing else! If we unite, then the Creator is with us.

Comment: You always have one answer.

My Response: Yes. We do not need anything else.

Question: What is unity? What do you mean by that word?

Answer: Unity is when everyone feels that they are for others and all are for one. There can be no slacking here. We should just stick together.

Question: On the one hand, you are saying what we have been saying since childhood. Remember the Three Musketeers? “One for all, all for one!” We really believed in this, loved this very much, and wanted to live like this. Where did all this disappear to later?

Answer: This disappeared because life pushed us to other values—everyone for himself and it does not matter how the others are. But now we are being taught, very seriously taught.

Question: Can this change only happen as a result of such teaching?

Answer: Of course. Otherwise, the Creator would not have given it to us.

Question: What is our move now? He made a move, a difficult, tragic one. What is our move?

Answer: Our move now is only to connect with each other and advance on the enemy.

Question: We have 1,300 dead, and a lot of prisoners and missing people. This is a terrible grief for loved ones and for the entire country. Once upon a time, the release of one prisoner was the concern of the whole country. Today we are talking about hundreds of people.

They are in constant fear. At the same time, they are in hope, powerlessness, and prayer, and they are kept somewhere under the ground in inhuman conditions. What would you tell them?

Answer: Hold on, we are coming to save you! Your main task is to hold out. Do not think about anything else.

Question: But you do understand that in this case hope with every passing day …?

Answer: Never mind. The Creator is above this.

Question: Are you saying that they should turn to the Creator at this moment?

Answer: Yes, they should turn to the Creator, and we should turn to the Creator so that this connection would be real.

Question: Tell me, what should our thoughts be about the prisoners? What should be our thoughts, the thoughts of the entire country, the leadership of the country, and the ones responsible for all this?

Answer: We need to save them, save our people who are being held captive somewhere, and do everything to ensure that they return home.

Question: Today the whole country [Israel] is talking about the spirit of unity that reigns and that the country should be permeated with. What do you think it means to raise the spirits of our soldiers?

Answer: It means showing them that the whole society is behind them, and nothing else is important to us, only that they are healthy and unharmed. And only in this way will we win.

Question: And what if there are, as we hear now, voices of doubt, accusations, etc.?

Answer: We just need to destroy such attempts to tear us apart, and we have to fight it.

Our children, relatives, and friends who are fighting should feel that the country is behind them!

Comment: What is happening in the country [Israel] now, of course, causes pride. In response to the complete lawlessness of the terrorists, an army of 360,000 people was assembled in a matter of days. People left everything and went to recruiting stations, and they came from abroad. They left all their business.

Everyone has a feeling: “This is my house, and the house is in danger.” And everyone came.

We see how everything changes. Just prior to this, someone was left or right—now they are together, going into battle. There were different views; now there is one view. Such is the real unity of Israel. Meaning, the grief has connected everyone.

My Response: We must completely neutralize Hamas and destroy this organization to make sure that there is a normal life in the Gaza Strip as it once was.

Once it was even possible to enter the Gaza Strip. People went there to do shopping or to repair cars. They lived a normal life. And then because of this organization, Hamas, Gaza became the absolute enemy of Israel. So what we need to do is restore normal communication.

Question: What about the fact that the atmosphere of searching for the guilty is beginning? How do we live with it now?

Answer: There is no getting away from it. We need to look at things realistically. It lives in people. When there are so many lives lost and so many problems, it will not go away by itself, and time will not erase it. Therefore we must understand that we will have to deal with this for a long time.

Question: So if this feeling “how could this have happened” arises—and it arises in many people of course, since they see that things were missed here and there—then is it not necessary to suppress it within yourself?

Answer: No, you can’t suppress it. We just need to sort out all the plans for the future well.

Question: When did you utter such a phrase, “Everyone should have a sense of guilt!” How should we understand this?

Answer: We allowed ourselves to do everything possible to weaken the state with endless demonstrations and clashes among ourselves, and this gave the terrorists the opportunity to do what they want.

Question: So you don’t retreat from this phrase?

Answer: No, of course not. We are to blame for this.

Question: Are you saying “we”? Not the ones who went out on the demonstrations?

Answer: No, no. I also do not absolve myself of any responsibility. There can be no double standards here. Everyone is to blame.

Question: And how should we live with this, with this guilt?

Answer: How to live with it? Well, don’t live.

Comment: But when you see what happened there and you still feel guilty, it’s not that simple.

My Response: So what can you do? Close your eyes and say, “It’s not happening”?

Question: I can’t anymore. Is it possible to turn it all around? Is it possible now to get out of this feeling into another one?

Answer: Only if you constantly work on it. I mean, we have to restore the right relationships between us so that we stop these stupid demonstrations, which, in principle, do nothing but weaken the state and only benefit organizations like Hamas.

So we have a problem here.

Comment: Today we see this unity, all this help, mutual guarantee. We gather together during wars.

My Response: I don’t know. I personally am not sure that the people can draw such good conclusions from this. It will all pass, it will all change quickly, and it will be forgotten; they will hide their head under their wing and that’s it.

Question: Do you think that the horrors recorded by the prophets are possible and can come true?

Answer: They are possible. And we must definitely live in this way until we achieve final correction, to be with each other in absolute love.

If love is not above all disagreements, then in the end we will wake up in the sea, thrown out of here.

Question: Love rising above all disagreements—does this depend on us?

Answer: Of course. Everyone should say that it depends on him.

Question: So the differences remain, and I rise above them?

Answer: Yes, correction is precisely in this.

Question: You keep saying, “Unity. We must be united.” Could you please continue and explain? Because? Because of what?

Answer: Because it is our idea, which is above life and death and above everything. The main thing is unity. What for, why, when—it does not matter. Now and forever. That is what should be.

We must be united because this is how we can fulfill the program of creation and only in this way do we come close to the upper force.

We must be united not for the sake of living, or living well or peacefully, but for the sake of our idea, which is to love our neighbor as ourselves no matter what the conditions are.
