Moses isn’t a person, but a desire that is completely devoted to the Creator. Moses is a trusted guide, showing the example, caring for us, and drawing the quality of bestowal above so that by revealing this quality inside of us, we will build the Creator’s form inside of us. The quality of Moses brings us to equivalence with the Creator, adhesion with Him.

When the force of bestowal and the force of reception combine in the right form and increase each other in the middle line, the middle line occurs in a person not as a simple sum of right and left lines, but as a demonstration by each of its oppositeness and its greatness.

Man, Adam,  means “similar” (Domeh) to the Creator. Jacob is the most important of the three forefathers—these are qualities that are revealed in a person to the extent of his equivalence to the Creator. The quality of Jacob is called Tifferet – splendor, beauty, honor, the Creator’s qualities that are revealed inside of creation.

Jacob is the most important spiritual quality. Abraham symbolizes bestowal from the Creator, Isaac – revelation of the will to enjoy in creation. Jacob is the unity of the two qualities, bestowal and reception, the right and left line, through man’s inner work to connect the two lines by which he becomes like the Creator.

When the force of bestowal and the force of reception are united into proper form, amplifying one another in the middle line, it manifests in man not as simply the sum of the right and the left lines, but as each line demonstrating the oppositeness of the other line, and exalting it.

We receive two qualities from above: the good and the evil inclinations. The good inclination stems from the Creator via Abraham. The evil inclination that manifests in creation stems from the Creator who had created it. It is our work to unite these two forces the right way, and we must carry it out.

Man (Adam) means “similar” (Dome) to the Creator. Jacob is the most important of the three Patriarchs, which are qualities that are revealed within man to the extent of his similarity to the Creator. The quality of Jacob is called Tifferet (beauty, grandness, honor). These are the Creator’s qualities revealed in creation.

Jacob is the most important spiritual quality. Abraham symbolizes bestowal from the Creator, Isaac signifies the revelation of the will to enjoy in creation. Jacob is the combination of these two qualities: bestowal and reception, the right and left lines as a result of man’s inner work. As he connects the two lines, he becomes like the Creator.

We use our will to enjoy solely to impose upon it the authority of the will to bestow. Only in this form do we allow ourselves to work with our ego. And when we correct it in this manner, the middle line, Jacob, will come out.

Man must undergo all the changes within: to cancel himself completely before the quality of Hessed. To slightly awaken critical thinking and allow the will to enjoy to manifest. Then to combine Hessed, the quality of Abraham, with Gevurah, the quality of Isaac via faith above reason.

The quality of Abraham, Hessed, fills all the space created by the Creator. The Creator wishes to see all the creatures united in love and unity with Him. The creature appears only after the birth of Isaac—the will to enjoy that is attached to Abraham’s quality of bestowal.

The holiday of Sukkot is the beginning of the construction of the soul. The soul begins from the quality of Abraham (Hessed, bestowal), an open heart aimed toward love for all creatures, for their benefit. You cannot reach the goal of creation in this form, for in the quality of Abraham there is no quality of creation, the will to enjoy.

I wish all of us a good holiday of Sukkot. May it be bright, sweet, successful, and warm. May we sit all together in one large tabernacle—all of mankind.

When we are united together, don’t be afraid of losing what we’ve achieved. In caring for our unity, even a loss will happen in order to receive something new, more important than before. We have to forget the prior achievements in order to advance further. Everything will be like new for you each time.

I cannot save or retain anything because my spiritual vessel is just a point, a pixel. I must be connected to the other pixels in the ten. Otherwise I immediately lose what I have achieved. Spirituality can be retained not inside of us, but only in the connection between us

In our time only love will save us, meaning unity above all the differences. Even if there is nothing I love about my child, I still love him! Love does not follow any rules, “Love will cover all sins” This is the kind of love we have to learn!.

Baal HaSulam, Letter 13
“Try to see the friends’ merits and not their flaws, to unite together with them in true love, till the state where ‘love will cover all sins.'”

Baal HaSulam, Letter 4
“May you have no deficiency other than to collect all the parts that have broken away from your soul, and unite them into one body. Into this perfect body, the Creator will place His presence forever. And the spring of great wisdom and the upper rivers of light will be like a limitless source.”

Baal HaSulam, The Last Generation
“Life’s aim is to merit adhesion with the Creator by scrupulously observing the condition of acting only for His benefit. Or to qualify many so they may reach adhesion with Him.”

Baal HaSulam, Preface to the book Panim Meirot UMasbirot, item 22
“A person does not live for himself, but for the entire chain as a whole, such that every link in the chain does not receive the light of life inside it, but only conducts the light of life to the entire chain as a whole.”

Baal HaSulam, Letter 49
“I instruct you to exert all your forces to begin to love one another and to take part in one another’s suffering, and to rejoice in one another’s joy, as much as possible. I hope you’ll fulfill these words and will comply with them entirely and perfectly.”

On this day of judgment, #YomKippur, we must decide how to act. The world is in dire need of unity.
On this Yom Kippur, I wish for our hearts to open to one another. To draw closer instead of distance further. To unite into one heart, a single whole. And for this to be our Day of Judgment!

On #YomKippur, one must gather his thoughts and rise slightly above his ego, his prejudices and habits, and try to judge himself objectively: that he is not connected with others with good bonds, that he’s indifferent toward others, doesn’t think about tomorrow and disregards this for himself and for others.

After all the suffering and scrutinies, we will discover that the good mutual connection (mutual guarantee) is the only means of escaping all woes. Despite ourselves, we will discover that the precept of “Love your neighbor as yourself” is a condition of life. This is the example we will give to one another!

Bnei Baruch does not oppose protests. We oppose the growth of mutual hatred among the people. This is because our nation is endowed with a special task: to show humanity how to unite above mutual enmity. After all, our nation is the mini version of all the nations of the world so we must achieve peace amongst ourselves!

Nature’s law obligates us to mutual guarantee above all contradictions. We must achieve and build love above all contractions. When, instead of organizing love, I see mutual hatred among those organizing protests, I see them lining up for imminent destruction…

In the past, nature developed us by pushing us forward. Today, nature comes out to meet us, preventing us from developing, pushing us into the higher dimension.

#Coronavirus is not a blow but a push toward our growth to facilitate our #development, to bring us together through unity—to perception of the upper force of nature. We have to be connected to it. This has nothing to do with religion. Only then will our life get better.

Nature (the Creator) wishes to show us that until we learn to treat each other right, we must be practically isolated from one another. And it doesn’t matter whether we’re attending a prayer or a protest. Our good attitude will lift the quarantine!

Today we will try to start building a Partzuf: to create out of our individual ego something common, to mold a soul. We need only to soak clay in water (Hassadim), then everything will unite into one body of the 10 Sefirot, and from it we’ll be able to make common actions for the sake of the Creator.

A teacher teaches HOW to think, not WHAT to think. He teaches how to be independent from others and from oneself, pointing only toward the goal: the Creator’s revelation.

Man is always inside the Creator, as an embryo is inside the mother.
One just needs to feel WHAT the Creator “is telling him”—this is the highest state!

If we grow up, nature won’t have to punish us. We would participate in our own development, would be fully responsible for each other, and we would find a true goal in mutual guarantee. The essence of man is not to be free from nature, but to consciously align with it.

As a result of the impact of the coronavirus, we will inevitably start thinking of our interdependence and begin realizing our mutual responsibility.
Baal HaSulam: “Nature, as a competent judge, punishes us taking into account our development.”

How to protect them? The virus reminds us that we’re completely dependent. It carries information that allows the biosphere to maintain systemic balance. When we don’t create the right connection between us, the virus does so on a biological level—forcing us to care about others.

Suddenly I fell into a dangerous dependence on other people. True, they depend on me too, but that doesn’t make it any easier on me. And if others are not conscious not to infect me, I will get infected from them, it’s almost impossible to protect oneself from it. And all my loved ones are also in danger.

Currently, disseminating the method of correction of man and all of mankind may seem to us a heavy burden. But as we advance, we’ll understand that this is what gives pleasure to the Creator, and if we feel Him as great, then we will gladly bear this burden and feel no heaviness.

Lesson after lesson, gathering after gathering, we will feel more and more that there are a vast number of people, humanity, that our group has to lead. Like a locomotive that pulls the whole train of many cars to the goal.

We are given a chance to become Adam, similar to the Creator, and pull all of humanity towards correction. This is our work, thus we are called servants of the Creator. This is a very high privilege, a special and honorable mission. If a person neglects it, he gets replaced…

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah (New year), I would like to wish everyone what we lack the most—connection, closeness between us, love. This always saves our people, it is in the codex, in the record, in the chromosomes of the nation itself.

There is no sense of the Creator, no faith, so no one to stop me. I cannot act differently because if the Creator does not rule over me, then I’m under the control of the evil inclination—egoism! Thus, I ask the Creator to rule over me. This is my main request!

“Let me feel You and I will change!” This is exactly what one should say to the Creator, this is the right request and true remorse. For what was the reason I committed the crime? Because there was no sense of the Creator called Faith.

Did I do anything? I didn’t do anything, it was all the Creator. And He did it on purpose, so that I would know what I need to correct. I take this evil, the crime that has now been revealed, and begin to correct it. My whole aspiration is forward, not backward…

We don’t bring up the past or apologize for it. I must realize not what happened earlier, but the fact that I do not seek correction now, nor demand the Creator’s help in this. I want to move forward, not dig into the past, shedding tears about what I did…

“Let me feel You and I will change!”—this is what one should say to the Creator, this is the right request and remorse. I commit crimes because there is no sense of the Creator, no faith, and no one to stop me. I cannot act differently because if the Creator does not rule, then it’s the evil inclination!

Rosh Hashanah (New year)—time to ask the Creator for forgiveness for our sins. I feel that I do not have a sense of importance or greatness of the Creator, for this I repent. After all, if I felt the Creator as great and important I would have behaved differently. My only lack is the feeling of the Creator…

People, and the whole world, do not understand how the upper governance of nature (the Creator) transitions us to a new mode of relations through quarantine, by restructuring of society, production, trade, through limiting (normalizing) consumption in balance with nature…

The correction of the creation, the soul of Adam, is in the unity of the creatures, mutual guarantee, in the realization of the commandment “Love your neighbor” and beyond, from the love of the creatures to the love of the Creator, the goal of our development. This is how we come to the goal of creation—in similarity of qualities of the Creator, love, and adhesion with Him.

Our transgression is neglecting the desire for connection with others, and not turning to the Creator for help with this. The purpose of creation is only to unite the creatures in a single desire to unite in the Creator. From individual tens to a single ten that includes all of humanity. This is the extent of our connection to the Creator!

In this New Year, a new state of reality is revealed. After 5,780 years of development, humanity is able to rise to the first spiritual degree. The first tens are opening the door and entering, pulling the whole world with them. Let’s be prepared with the weight of responsibility confidence, and mutual guarantee.

This New Year differs from all the previous ones in that the Creator begins to clearly treat the world as a whole. And we need to treat Him the same way, turning to the Creator as the whole world, pulling the whole world to this goal set for us by the Creator.

“The coronavirus outbreak is getting out of control,” said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis unlike any other.
This is true: we have entered a period of correction of humanity through good or evil. The method of correction is Kabbalah. Better not to delay!

But what must I build? From what to distance and to what to draw closer? That is why the new year is preceded by the period of Selichot (repentances) in which I scrutinize my egoistic qualities. I want to go from reception to bestowal, from an animal mind to faith above reason, the Creator’s mind.

The #Coronavirus pandemic must make us feel that our troubles are a result of our enmity. We must tie together the physical and emotional states. Our distance and inability to feel one another emotionally and how wonderful it is to be unified is the cause of all our misfortunes.

The problem stems from the upper degree, where we are bonded together, so as to show us that we must unite.
If we draw closer together, the pandemic will lessen. If we fall back into the ego, the pandemic will return. Thus the Creator will teach us to strive toward the connection between us and Him.

The virus doesn’t destroy, but as it captures the globe, it paralyzes our life, and in so doing, draws all the attention to itself. It stems from a spiritual degree, from the end program of our common correction. That is what makes it special and why it casts everyone in dismay.
