Question: Who is a “neighbor”?

Answer: A neighbor, in principle, is any person with whom according to the plan of creation you must unite.

Question: How does this relate to a friend?

Answer: The fact is that you and your friend are, as it were, training on each other, practicing the basic principles of Kabbalah.

Any relationship can be expressed here.

Question: What should the quality of our prayer be?

Answer: The quality is very simple; it is from the heart. Open your hearts and the Creator will feel what is in them. Everything is attained only by the power of prayer to unite, to rise, and to kill egoism in us.

Question: How can we literally wrap everyone in one blanket of love and how can we connect everyone with one prayer?

Answer: You should discuss this among yourselves and ask the Creator to join in your request, your prayer. Then everything will work out.

Question: How can the sufferings of love for others and for the Creator help us shorten the time of our advancement?

Answer: Through suffering we do not shorten anything. Suffering is not a means for acceleration and correction. Happiness, joy, and unity are the means for accelerating correction.

Question: Even the sufferings of love can help us?

Answer: The suffering of love is very personal. Therefore, it all depends on how a person experiences it and how he correctly perceives it.

Question: You say that happiness and joy are means for accelerating correction. What is happiness for a Kabbalist?

Answer: It is hastening the movement toward the Creator. Being happy means feeling that you are getting closer to the Creator.

Question: In all circumstances a person reveals that he needs faith. Can we talk about it and somehow transfer it?

Answer: No, transferring the quality of faith from one person to another is impossible.

Question: How can we properly work with the bitterness of egoism in the ten and literally chew it up? And what impressions should we receive to want to ask the Creator for a way out of the ego?

Answer: Show our friends how much the Creator reveals Himself in us as a bitter part of our work. That is how we will reach out to Him.

Question: You said that it is not worth getting stuck in a high state of suffering of love. Where is the right place to be?

Answer: If you love, you cannot dictate what you want, one way or another. The feeling of suffering of love itself determines your state. Let us get closer to it, feel it, and then we will see what we are supposed to do.

Question: How can we determine that access to the upper world is not a substitute of one illusion for another?

Answer: When you enter the upper world, you will see that it is felt with more clarity than our world.

Question: Today, people are suffering and experiencing a lack of light.
Is there any hope of receiving this light and correcting what is happening?

Answer: Undoubtedly, eventually everyone will get the light. There will not be a single soul, not a single person, even with the most disgusting desires, with the most disgusting inclinations, who would not receive correction and fulfillment.

Question: How can people without any connection with the light get it in case of despair, war, and hopelessness?

Answer: They do not feel hopelessness the way you do. The time will come and they will receive the light of correction.

Question: It is said that the Creator is the first and the last. He awakens a point in the heart, and we lead the students like little children by the hand. What else is our role in dissemination?

Answer: Firstly, we study all the materials together with them once again and thus teach them. And then they begin to climb and reach heights.

Question: How can you convey to people, especially in a Christian country, that the Torah also has an inner essence?

Answer: You do not need to disseminate anything except “Love your neighbor as yourself.” That is enough to correct all souls.

Question: Do we have such souls who can work publicly with an audience and at the same time will not fall?

Answer: Of course there are. Do not be afraid to fall. The one who does not fall does not rise. So go ahead, and do not even go but jump from degree to degree.

Question: What is the minimum feeling we lead people to with our dissemination message? What are we talking about?

Answer: We lead people to do actions that reveal the Creator to them.

Question: How do we add faith? Do we do this ourselves?

Answer: The Creator does it, but thanks to the fact that we all together want to increase faith. Each in their our way, but, in principle, together. We want to be in perfect faith.

It is a perfect faith that completely replaces knowledge, sensation, and everything we can receive from the Creator.

Question: How can we help each other achieve a permanent lack of faith that will ultimately replace our knowledge and feelings?

Answer: Friends can show an example and support, and then you will see what you lack to gain complete faith.

Question: Can we in the ten unknowingly become workers of Pharaoh? Or by being involved in Bnei Baruch, do we have some protection, some guarantee that we will not stray away?

Answer: You have no guarantees. None whatsoever. Even though Bnei Baruch is a unique organization, everyone must constantly examine themselves, examine where they are heading and what they want to achieve.

It is only about each individual’s work. Each one separately.

Question: Can a ten deviate from the path? Have some tens in the world group already deviated, but are unaware themselves?

Answer: Of course such a risk always exists. But at the same time, tens can examine and correct themselves.
