The Torah, “Exodus” 28:15 – 21: You shall make a  breastplate of decision, worked into a design; make it in the style of the ephod: make it of gold, of blue, of purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen. …

Set it in mounted stones, in four rows of stones. The first row shall be a row of carnelian, chrysolite, and emerald; the second row: a turquoise, a sapphire, and an amethyst; the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and a crystal; and the fourth row: a beryl, a lapis lazuli, and a jasper. They shall be framed with gold in their mountings. The stones shall correspond [in number] to the names of the sons of Israel; twelve corresponding to their names. They shall be engraved like seals, each with its name, for the twelve tribes. 

 Twelve stones represent all the desires of the one general soul and the real work because Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons are the link between the Creator and the people through the tens, hundreds, and thousands, heads of tribes and leaders. The breastplate (chosen) refers to the way they should follow and be connected. It’s all the egoistic desires that already operate. Moses and Aaron symbolize the head that thinks, instructs, and decides, while the twelve tribes are the executive part. The choshen provides the connection between the part of the head and the executive part.

On the one hand, the twelve tribes are represented by different stones, each tribe according to its character, its correction, and its form. On the other hand, they are all connected as one unique whole, tightly arranged together in a certain order as one breastplate on Aaron’s chest.

Aaron isn’t just a priest, but the great priest, stemming from the word “saint,” which means that he only has the spirit of love and bestowal. His connection with the twelve tribes is necessary so that they will totally connect to him and under his guidance will attain the same state. The Torah tells us how to reach the state in which everything becomes one whole called Israel, Yashar-El (straight to the Creator).

Question: Are the objects and the buildings mentioned in the Torah related to spiritual forces in any way?

Answer: Of course. But a person who does not understand and who isn’t in the spiritual world cannot physically play with them. He will not know how!

So only the wise, which means those who are on a spiritual level, can draw all this from their spiritual level, knowing every movement they make: how to process things and how to do them. But if they are not on a spiritual level they cannot even depict all this on paper.

Some call it building the third Temple, but how should they build it, what should they build? You don’t even know how to start. It has to live in you. You should understand exactly how it should be done, without drawings!

Like Ramchal, the drawings should be inside you, including all the details: the stones, the wood, etc. You cannot instruct anyone since everyone should understand you internally. There has to be a team in which there is the Temple that simply embodies its external form, its imprint.

On the whole there is no need for an external display if we come to the general end of correction so that everything will live in us and ascend from the worlds of BYA to the world of Atzilut then there is no need to embody anything in stone. The third Temple is the spiritual end of correction that requires an embodiment in the heart and not in stone.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 28:3: And you shall speak to all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, and they shall make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him, [so] that he serve Me [as a Kohen].

And you shall speak to all the wise-hearted means that you should choose from all your desires those that on the one hand have a greater energy of ego that matches the Light of Hochma, that are already filled with wisdom, that is, corrected. You must collect them inside you and turn them into one large  common, expansive, serious inner desire, but which is already corrected and full of Light. When you collect all of this, then the “garments to sanctify him [so] that he serve Me [as a Kohen]” appear.

This is how a spiritual image is formed: It is egoistic internally, separated into many egoistic levels, and accordingly, there are the garments. They have the same names as in our world: trousers, belt, coat, rain coat.

The Torah tells us what the clothes should be made of: yarns of gold, wool, and scarlet interwoven, etc. It’s about which external desires operate in order to bestow but which contain the ego of which such a correct desire can be made.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 28:9-28:12: And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel. Six of their names on one stone and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births. [Similar to] the work of an engraver of gems, [similar to] the engravings of a seal, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; you shall make them enclosed in gold settings. And you shall put the two stones upon the shoulder straps of the ephod as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall carry their names before the Lord upon his two shoulders as a remembrance.

Stone (Even) symbolizes the heart of stone (Lev HaEven), the coarsest most egoistic properties. The names have to be drawn and represented on them. Names are the embodiment of a person’s efforts, of his work. When a person performs a certain spiritual work, he is called by a name that matches the height and the character of this work. In other words, a vessel the Light enters creates a full name. A form, a person’s style of work is expressed by a certain name: Moses, Aaron, Itamar, etc., which make up the essence of the spiritual work of one soul or another.

On one hand, names cannot be arbitrary. On the other hand, the essence of each name can change.

And you shall take two onyx stones, and engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel means the state when the leaders of the twelve tribes reach this kind of work, that even their names, which means their resemblance to the Creator, reach the deepest egoistic desire, the stone, the state of the still nature, and ascends from the lowest state up to the level of Aaron’s shoulders.

“Shoulders” means HBD-HGT-NHY. When a hand is lifted, its uppermost part is on the level of the shoulder. This refers to the part that receives the calculations from the head. The head belongs to Aaron, and these are all his intentions, the whole spiritual work.

It’s as if the sons and all the other tribes are on his shoulders. This is how the system of connections between the different parts of this huge system called the general soul is described allegorically.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 28:2: You shall make holy garments for your brother Aaron, for honor and glory.

Clothing (Levush) symbolizes the correction that has to be made on a person’s desires. If I have egoistic desires, distinct desires that are strong or even the weakest desires, we have to clothe them all, which means to clothe them with the intention for the sake of others, for the Creator.

The clearer, more aggressive, and more serious a desire is, the greater corrections it should undergo, which means “garments of splendor.” Thus the uncorrected correction, Aaron, is the worst.

It says: “When Israel falls, it falls lower than any nation in the world, and when they ascend, they ascend all the way to Heaven.” The reason is that it is possible with a giant egoistic desire in its revised form to do anything all the way to the Creator’s level. Then everyone will be impressed by their splendor because it’s impossible to compare the correction any ordinary nation has to make, with the ordinary desires people have.

Thus Moses and then the sons of Aaron and then the other priests are the clearest, most disgusting egoistic desires there may be if they are not corrected. So we see humanity’s attitude towards the Jews, and in the corrected states it will be the opposite. So the nations of the world are waiting for the Jews to acquire clothing, to ascend and to start working in order to bestow with all our special attributes.

Thus the “clothing of Aaron” is no simple concept. What actually distinguishes people in our world? It’s their clothes. It can be clothes, a house, whatever surrounds a person, whatever indicates his level, his state, has ascent above others, or his descent. This means that it’s an expression of status, of a person’s state.

Question: It appears that modern fashion has very powerful roots?

Answer: Of course, it stems from the same nature. The ego uses this means for its ascent.

In the spiritual world, clothes emphasize a person’s inner ascent above the world; the level of one’s bestowal, love and self annulment. To the extent that you annul yourself, you also ascend. In our world however it’s the opposite, it’s to the extent that you decorate yourself in front of the mirror like a monkey.

This will continue until we understand that clothes are a person’s inner expression. The fact that we wear fashionable clothes is not a correction but the opposite, a distortion.

After the sin of the tree of knowledge, the Creator told Adam that he needs to put on clothes, which means that he has to correct his ego so that it will help him overcome himself and reach love and bestowal. The Torah says that the Creator sewed these clothes for them, which means that he gave them the Upper Light by which the Returning Light, which means the intention of in order to bestow, was dressed in the ego.

In order to give new examples in my lectures, I constantly process texts from the primary sources and follow the news, documentaries, and anything that can help me find relevant associations.

Even if I don’t share all the information that I accumulate during the lessons, it still exists in the overall system since I am connected to everyone. So I don’t consider it my personal intellectual acquisitions because it already exists in relation to others even if I don’t express it verbally.

Question: So you never have the feeling of losing time?

Answer: This also happens sometimes. I used to see this when I was with Rabash and I didn’t understand how a person under the upper influence could be so detached from spirituality until he becomes nothing more than an ordinary protein body. Such states when you have no desire to read or to listen to anything are very rare, but from time to time they must occur, as if completing a certain rhythm in the spiritual development.

These states are very short, although they may sometimes take several hours, and when they are over, a person suddenly discovers a new stage and keeps on advancing. The best thing is if he manages to fall asleep when he is cut off, then it doesn’t pass in vain.

On the whole we deal with the desire and not with the body or with a person; the desire has to process itself to its full depth and its full height. It has to be incorporated, absorbed, and connected with all the other attributes, to develop itself, to respond, etc. Interestingly, when you are on the inanimate material level you feel it. But it is all a natural process.

Question: Do you ever have the feeling that we don’t have time to manage to do something?

Answer: The feeling that “we don’t have time” isn’t relevant for me. I am already an elderly person who knows how much time I have left. I simply want to see a clearly assembled organization that is connected to the masses and to the Creator, and begins to work seriously. This is an organization called the “State of Israel.”

In this case, the State of Israel is not a geographic concept. It consists of different interconnected functional blocks, part of which operate in order to sustain themselves both physically and spiritually.

The part that is connected to the Creator is the Kohanim (Cohens – priests). The part that provides the ideological basis is the Levites. The part that provides the material basis is the people. And together they all tied to connect with all the outside world, and they have many connections with the masses, with all countries, and with all of humanity. This is how it all works.

If I could at least see a prototype of such an organization, I might not be in such a hurry anymore. And although it’s already looming, it is not enough; there is no clear contact with the general public; there is still no contact with the Creator,

The contact with the lower and the contact with the upper are mutually dependent and we are in the middle. The more we manage to approach the general public successfully, the more will need the Creator correctly, and will thus receive help from Above.

Question: How can we organize the mutual cooperation in the group so I will change it and it will change me in return? Are the articles of Rabash enough for us today or do we need to add something to it?

Answer: You should determine what we have to add to the articles of Rabash. Everyone adds something. It’s as if everyone rewrites the entire Torah. The Torah is not a book but actually a person’s whole attitude towards the Creator, towards everything that comes from Above.

A person has to rewrite the Torah, as it says: “Write it on your heart.” He has to write the Torah back from himself to the Creator, about the upper Providence and everything that was created, about everything that descends upon a person from Above and is arranged for him. A person has to respond internally and return it to the Creator. This is called “writing the book of the Torah.”

So everyone is called “a student who renews the words of the Torah,” since he does it by himself, out of his desire and he writes what no one else can write, none of the parts of that infinite desire. Everyone writes by himself.

Therefore, there is the commandment for everyone to write a book of the Torah. In the past, people actually sat down and wrote it.

You are asking if we have to add anything to the articles of Rabash, yet each time you read an article, you understand it differently, it means that you rewrite it, add something to it and write your own article. Every time! All this is written because you work with your desires. Every time you organize your desires differently, it’s all added to the general desire, to the general correction, until all these forms reach the end of correction (Gmar Tikkun); this is called writing.

Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains: of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skillful workman shalt thou make them.
(Torah, “Exodus,”, “The Tabernacle”, 26:1)

Each fabric symbolizes a certain quality of our egoism. “Intertwining of threads” signifies the right (bestowal and love) and the left (egoism and receiving) lines.

It’s about the way threads should be “inter-twisted,” from left to right or from right to left. It’s also about what material is used to make a basis and which one is on top of another, linen or wool, and what colors they are. There are natural fabrics like wool, linen, leather of which garments, capes and curtains (canopies) are made.

“Ten curtains” correspond to ten Sefirot and represent a screen that we have to make. On one hand, a screen consists of the egoistic desire; on the other hand, altruistic intention. It implies that a screen should consist of both right and left lines, “wool and linen.”

In ordinary life it is prohibited to join these materials. It is forbidden to wear clothes that are made of both fabrics. However, it is allowed in a place when doing things with a correct and accurate intention that makes the “ratio” between both “fabrics” right, whereas in everyday life it is not apparent if it is so. This explains why one cannot combine the right and the left lines together, an egoistic desire with the altruistic intention, because first one must connect both of them into a middle line.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 26:32 – 26:35: “And you shall place it on four pillars of acacia wood, overlaid with gold, their hooks [shall be gold], on four silver sockets. And you shall place the dividing curtain beneath the clasps. You shall bring there on the inner side of the dividing curtain the Ark of the Testimony, and the dividing curtain shall separate for you between the Holy and Holy of the Holies. And you shall place the ark cover over the Ark of the Testimony in the Holy of Holies. And thou shall place the table on the outer side of the dividing curtain and the Menorah opposite the table on the southern side of the Mishkan, and you shall place the table on the northern side.”

All the elements of the Tabernacle are the embodiment of our ego that is made of four levels. By being prepared to be burnt, which means: to totally resemble the Light as if you place a table, a Menorah, in a certain direction on a certain side.

We may say that the Tabernacle, the tent with all its features, is the complete resemblance to the corrected world but on a small scale. If we study only about it, it is enough in order to understand what the corrected state of our soul should be, in the same state, in our relations, in everything.

This means that all the elements of the Tabernacle tell us about the end of correction that we have to attain.

The Torah, “Exodus,” 27:1, 27:9: “And you shall make the altar of acacia-wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height [shall be] three cubits. And you shall make the courtyard of the Mishkan on the southern [there shall be] hangings for the court of twisted fine linen, one hundred cubits long on one side.”

It is about discovering the full egoistic essence of our soul above which we eventually put up the tent, which means that we build a Masach (screen) and the intention of in order to bestow.

The whole spiritual work begins from the first commandment of the Torah, which spreads to all the components of creation, to the whole mass of the desire that was created by the Creator.
