Question: Should we learn to differentiate between the people of Israel and all other peoples in the world?

Answer: There is a much easier path to correcting their souls for the peoples of the world than for the people of Israel. Therefore we do not need to separate these categories. To the extent that we feel the need for correction in our movement toward the Creator, in drawing closer to Him, that is how we will act.

Comment: But we still must awaken this need for adhesion with the Creator.

My Response: If you have a predisposition to this, then you can join and help in the general correction of the nations of the world. Gradually you will begin to feel their souls and will be able to elevate them.

That is a great responsibility that falls on the people of Israel or on those who join in the correction so that they can spread the methodology of correcting souls and unite.

Question: There are people among us who long for the Creator as for a beloved; they want to adhere with Him. And some want to fulfill His will, to take their place in the common system regardless of their state. What should the desire really be?

Answer: Everything is good. A person will still come to their original desire. But in the beginning, let them go the way that attracts them the most.

The main thing is not to stop studying and to constantly communicate with the friends. After all, it is through them that one receives the general direction toward the purpose of creation. Otherwise, nothing else can help here.

It is like a partnership, where if each one does his job, everyone is happy, as it is written, “which God has created to do,” for there is nothing without labor.

Hence, the husband toils and brings money, and his wife takes the money and toils with it, buying groceries and cooking, and seeing that the food is tasty, and then both are happy.

If the woman cooks well, her husband will have good appetite and will then have strength to go to work and bring in money.

Likewise, if the feet walk and the hands buy and give the food to the brain, the brain has the strength to think (Rabash, Notes 503, Partnership).

That is a simple and very correct explanation of marital relationships. The partnership starts from the beginning, from the basics of our lives, and extends to high and lofty matters.

If a married couple wants to reach a higher quality of connection between them, it will lead them to spiritual work.

Question: Do they need to have in mind that they are striving for something more spiritual?

Answer: Of course, certainly! They must coordinate this with each other and understand that they may need to sacrifice something to reach a spiritual goal. Then they will attain a higher connection than the ordinary connection between husband and wife.

To have a spiritual connection, they must understand what they can achieve with its help, whether they are ready for it, and where it will lead them.

Comment: It sounds like some serious sacrifices are required here.

My Response: It does not require sacrifices, but it does require effort.

Question: What do we need to keep in the center of the ten in order to pass through the darkness when exiting Egypt?

Answer: The most important thing is to go by faith above reason paying no attention to any obstacles, taking one more step, and another step, and another. Thus, gradually, we will exit Egypt.

Question: If a person truly reaches a state where all his thoughts, desires, and aspirations are directed toward the Creator, then a second before and a second after exiting Egypt, how does his attitude toward the Creator change?

Answer: Before exiting Egypt, a person is in a state of pleading, begging the Creator to help him escape from there, to rise above egoistic problems.

And literally the next moment, he feels gratitude for what the Creator has done for him.

Question: On the seventh day of creation the Creator rests. In principle, work is prohibited on this day. What does this mean?

Answer: A person should understand that the world was not created for the purpose of working and producing something. There is simply a certain period when he must create (that is why it is called creation), and then the Creator acts Himself.

That is, for six days a person performs certain work on himself, and on the seventh day he is filled. This is already the work of the Creator.

Question: You said that we are connected to the nations of the world through Malchut. How do we work with this? What should we do with this common desire?

Answer: The nations of the world mostly stem from Malchut de Malchut, while the souls of Israel come from the first nine Sefirot within Malchut. Therefore, the souls of Israel can begin to attract light upon themselves and then channel it through themselves to all the nations of the world.

Although Israel goes first, when the nations of the world come to master the correction of nature, they will do much more than Israel as they comprise the main part of Malchut.

Question: How can I associate myself more with the first nine Sefirot than with Malchut de Malchut?

Answer: The first nine Sefirot represent the quality of bestowal. If you align yourself with the qualities of bestowal as much as possible in every movement you make, you will join them. No one will be able to take this from you; you will be in charge of your own destiny.

Question: Could it be that a ten that fulfills the condition of Bnei Baruch, the love of friends, is at the level of Lo Lishma (for oneself)?

Answer: Yes, because Lo Lishma (for oneself) or Lishma (for one’s neighbor) is manifested in their intention, but it is not visible from the outside.

Friends can do whatever is necessary and in their intention be completely elsewhere, that is, not advancing toward uniting hearts and not seeking mutual assistance. And this is the main thing.

Question: It is said that every friend is obliged to fulfill his neighbor’s needs and leave oneself lacking. What do we sacrifice in the ten for the sake of our friends?

Answer: In the ten we must sacrifice ourselves to get closer to our friends and merge with them.

In principle, we do not sacrifice anything because, after all, we begin to understand that what previously seemed to us as an acquisition is, in fact, now like a prison. Therefore, we only gain by sacrificing for the sake of our unity.

However, we should know that one cannot achieve this on his own. Rather, it is said about that (Kidushin, 30), “Man’s inclination overcomes him each day and seeks to kill him” (Rabash, Article 16, 1984, “Concerning Bestowal”).

Question: Where can I get the energy to act for the sake of bestowal?

Answer: Ask the Creator. If the Creator wants you to have such an opportunity, He will give it to you.

Question: Why is it so arranged that I have to ask the Creator for fuel for the action of bestowal? After all, the Creator wants a person to be independent and free. Why can’t I reach this state myself?

Answer: Because you should feel what you get, what it gives you, what you achieve.

The Creator wants us not to be just independent, but independent in our egoism; otherwise, He would have created us differently. We are created to think only of ourselves. For example, when you think about someone else, you involuntarily begin to feel that you are thinking about yourself. This desire to think about ourselves and not about others is our nature, egoism. Therefore, we must come closer to the Creator and try to bring Him contentment by thinking about Him.

Question: Is it possible to bring contentment to the Creator directly without bringing contentment to the other?

Answer: The Creator is also the other.

Question: Does it mean that doing something for the sake of the other or for the sake of the Creator is the same thing?

Answer: It is not exactly the same thing. The difference is in scale. This is not easy, but in principle, it lies within the same boundaries.
