Question: The love of the Creator should manifest through a friend. Before I came to the science of Kabbalah, I had a cry from the soul. To which Creator was I crying? I believed that I should receive an answer, and the Creator brought me here.

How can I now convey to my friends that faith above reason that I had? After all, it turns out that I had faith above reason. I had a cry from the soul.

Answer: That unconscious cry of a newborn without direction, without intention, is just the beginning of a real desire. So everything will still come.

It is good that you are trying to understand this. I see how you are trying from the first questions to delve deeper into the answers of the science of Kabbalah. This is very good.

Everything will still fall into place, it will dissolve and settle. You will see how this science explains everything that exists to you. You will have no problems connecting Kabbalah with life, with family, with activities. In the end, you will see how all this is distributed throughout your life.

Question: I love myself with egoistic love, but I must love my neighbor altruistically. How is that even possible and what exactly needs to be done?

Answer: You try and you will see that first it is possible, and second, that it is not so difficult. Approach it gradually.

Question: But I have egoistic love for myself.

Answer: Reason less, strive forward more with your heart, and everything will be fine. Don’t over think; it delays your feelings and your spiritual development.

Question: What is the difference between loving friends and loving all people?

Answer: There is a big difference between these concepts because loving friends in the group is one thing, but loving just people is another.

Although I have to love both of them, i.e., feel their good and bad feelings as my own.

Question: We are studying how to treat our friends. What about loving people?

Answer: Wishing them well is how love for a person manifests itself. You must love people, and then the Creator will love you to the same extent.

Question: How can I correctly calculate what portion of pleasure I give to the Creator and not be deceived?

Answer: That is not easy. A person must see how they structure all their pleasures and direct them either toward themselves, their friends, or the Creator.

Question: Where should this work begin?

Answer: It does not matter where. The main thing is that you want to change the cause of this pleasure so that it is directed toward the Creator.

Question: What if I was not able to maintain it?
Answer: Next time you will. Ask for forgiveness from the Creator and keep moving forward.

Question: There are generations of Boomers, X, Z, and Y. Now the Alpha generation is growing up. How do we create material that will be interesting to them?

Answer: I think the most important thing for you is to study the wisdom of Kabbalah itself, delve deeply into it, and try to connect it with the questions you receive from the world. It is very important to stay connected with your friends so that from your connection with them, you can form the right answers to all questions.

The point is that by immersing yourself in your friends and the connection with them, you will feel a kind of pleasure that fills you and explains everything to you. This is what you need to reach. When you reach this state, you will have the right foundation for moving forward.

Question: If what happens outside reflects my inner world and the boundaries I see in the external world are a reflection of my inner boundaries, how can I break them?

Do I need to break them to correct the world?

Answer: You do not need to break anything or even think about whether you are breaking or building.

Question: But what if these internal and external boundaries I see prevent me from living?

Answer: You need to sort this out. By studying Kabbalah you can create such frameworks within yourself in which you will correctly feel the Creator and the universe and be comfortable within this framework.

Comment: At a congress every friend from the world group has a special opportunity to take part in kitchen duty. This opportunity is given only once. It lets us together form the right intention and opportunity and use it to connect with each other, which will delight the Creator and everyone at the congress.

My Response: Even if someone came from who knows where, can they only have kitchen duty once?!

Comment: Unfortunately, everyone gets only one chance of three hours to selflessly give to all the friends in the kitchen over the three days of the congress.

My Response: This is a big deal! These three hours are like three hours of continuous prayer. Maybe we do not understand this, so we just need to accept that it is so.

That is the most effective way to enter the upper world. Give these three hours all your heart and energy! Maybe this is why everyone came to the congress.

Question: You once said that Israel is a very small compared to other nations. Will this ratio remain until the final correction (Gmar Tikkun)? Or will everyone become “Israel” in the end?

Answer: Clearly there are few of us in numbers, but inside Israel, it feels precisely like this. The longer you live here, and I have been living here for 40 years, the more you feel there not much difference between Hebrew-speaking, Russian-speaking, and people from other countries.

There is such a melting pot here that everything together turns into one “dish.” Therefore, I do not think that Russian-speaking immigrants will play a big role in the future, only if many of them were to come, and not many are coming.

Question: I am not asking about the Russian-speaking population, but about Israel. Will everyone become “Israel” in the final correction? Or will there be a certain part that will connect with other nations and with the Creator, fulfilling the role of “Israel?”

Answer: This will probably continue until final correction. Afterward, this may change.

Question: My question concerns forming habits. For example, one of my friends says that he does not feel compelled to get up in the mornings  and that it is determined from above.

On the other hand you can take some actions in the evening, which will determine whether you get up for the morning lesson or not.

Answer: Yes of course. For example, I must get up. Why? Because I have a big day ahead; I need to prepare for the morning lesson, conduct the daytime lesson with you, and before that, give an interview for an hour. So I have to do all this and only have a little time left. Try it this way. Each of you should take on a group and lead it. That is the best thing.

Comment: Suppose I have no choice whether to take action or not, and other friends start advising me on how to do it.

My Response: Then you need to resort to actions that will pull you out of these states. The best thing is to be in the environment where you engage with others. Then you know that you are obligated; from this hour to this hour you are busy with this. Then for another hour you are busy with something else for some time.

And so you surrender yourself to the power of a schedule. That is essential. Without it, nothing will happen.
