Question: Suppose we discover that we have a disease of distancing from the Creator. We know that unification will cure us of this disease. What should the essence of the prayer be? Should we ask for unification so that the disease will go away? Or should we simply ask for unification without telling the Creator what problem we want to be healed from?

Answer: We must ask for unification and ask for rapprochement. As a consequence of this, some problems will go away, and perhaps others will arise at a higher level. But this way we will move forward.

Question: Should we include the name of the disease in the prayer?

Answer: No, we cannot determine the name.

Question: So if there is a war, then should we simply ask for unification without mentioning in the prayer that we are asking for rapprochement so that the Creator will save us from war?

Answer: No, when things like war happen, we can ask by naming the problem and asking for salvation from it.

Question: Should we pray for the people of Israel to unite because they are the most broken? How should you direct yourself correctly in this regard?

Answer: To direct oneself correctly means to aim for such a unification among themselves that every nation comes to understand that a bright future can only be in unification between them.

Only in this way will we attain everything we desire, except one thing—to rule over others, to dictate to others—and will each person to understand what one’s uniqueness is, what one’s work is, and what one should do in order to benefit others.

And others will do the same for him or her, and absolute mutual love and care for one another, everyone, and everything will reign.

This is inherent in nature, it is how it should and will be. Only all this depends on us today, how much we can get at least one step closer to this. For this reason, wars occur.

Question: Should we in our prayer, internally help the people of Israel in uniting among themselves?

Answer: Yes, it is necessary to unite at this level, defend ourselves, and correct ourselves. However, the most important thing for us is to disseminate this idea to all of humanity.

Question: If women put pressure on the world and demand connection from men, would such a demand replace wars for us?

Answer: Maybe such pressure would help both men and women. But this does not free women from working among themselves. They must come to the connection with each other to the connection with the Creator, and in addition, from their connection, turn to the men, and oblige them to unite too.

If women raise their common MAN, prayer, it will be a huge force. Huge!

Question: How should our prayer change with regard to what is happening in the world?

Answer: Prayer practically should not change. We ask the Creator to reveal Himself a little more between us.

Then we will understand what we must do to be connected with Him forever.

Question: The confidence in the Creator is not that He will do something, but that He is doing the best for us. Why do we need the prayer since confidence in the Creator is the prayer?

Answer: It is necessary to ask the Creator because it expands your feelings, and you must take care of it. The Creator deliberately sets such conditions for you from which you are not able to get out of by yourself, you must ask Him.

Question: How can I practically use the desire of a friend to come to the strength of desire that is sufficient to be merged with the Creator?

Answer: You must unite with your friends in a common striving, turn to the Creator, and ask Him to lift you up to Him.

Question: How can we plead with friends? After all, when we scrutinize our prayer, everyone has their own opinion.

Answer: These opinions should merge and support each other.

Question: What should be the preliminary preparation in order to come to the prayer that will be a real weapon?

Answer: It should come from the heart. The power of prayer depends on the strength of the connection between us, on how much we will be as one man with one heart, on how much your friends will enter into you, join your heart, and from this common heart you turn to the Creator.

Question: Should we convey to people that hatred should not be for the enemy, but for the war?

Answer: Hatred should not be toward the enemy or the war but toward our egoism. Only toward it.

Question: You said that we should catch the Creator. When we fish, we need to have bait. What is this bait?

Answer: You should catch the Creator through your desire, your prayer, and your request to Him. Therefore turn to Him as often as possible and as much as possible.

The Creator is waiting for us to want Him to open our hearts and connect them, and that we would feel in one common united heart all the power and mystery of the universe.

Question: The Creator does not give charity (alms), He gives a gift. How and what should we ask for?

Answer: I cannot advise you about what to ask. It should come from the heart. But, between us, there is nothing more to ask from the Creator except love. He gives us everything, and love only upon request.

I pray that all soldiers at the frontline return home in peace, that the war will end, and that all the people in the world will understand that war is the greatest evil that can be, and that we will live in a world in which there will be no more wars; there will be no more hatred but only connection.

Today, in our state, with such enemies and haters, it seems like a perfect utopia. And yet, we want peace to reign over the whole earth so that the revelation of the Creator appears above us and covers and protects us like a dome of peace.

Question: I feel the hearts of my friends, but my heart is torn into pieces. I keep bumping into the wall of egoism when I try to open it. I feel terrible shame from the thought that if I open my heart, everyone will see that there is criticism, judgements, and all sorts of nonsense.

Answer: So what’s the big deal? First, the usual answer to this is: “Go to the Creator who created my heart this way, complain to Him.” Therefore, when a person reveals his bad heart, he should not be ashamed and hide.

He must try to rise up and ask the Creator to correct, in general, what the Creator Himself did. We have every right to turn to Him and demand that He correct our hearts.

The science of Kabbalah is built on the fact that we unite in asking and demanding correction. And the Creator initially says: “I created the evil inclination and gave the Torah to correct it.”

What does “the Torah to correct it” mean? This is the highest light that we can attract, and it will correct us; only it can do this. And our task is to discover our faults and evil, and ask the Creator for help. He specifically waits for us to beg Him because in this case we will draw closer to Him.

Everyone can ask the Creator, and He hears everyone, but we must push Him to action only from the group. There are thousands of people at the convention, and therefore, when you ask and speak, you connect with each other and unite in a common heart.

In ordinary life, we act in tens. And if the ten is united, it can influence the Creator so that He changes each of its friends. Good luck to you!
