Part 2:
1. Rabash. Article 5, 1984. What Does the Rule, “Love Thy Friend as Thyself,” Give Us?. From the beginning TO: “My soul yearns for the Lord.”
Reading What Does the Rule, “Love Thy Friend as Thyself,” Give Us? From the beginning to: “My soul yearns for the Lord.”
Reader: “What does the Klal, rule, also collective…”
1. R. (2:42) What does the rule love thy friend as thyself give us? Question mark. Answer: through this rule we can come to the love of the Creator. Meaning from the love of friends, from the love of others, we can come to the love of the Creator and in any other way it is impossible to reach love of the Creator and the love of the Creator is actually that whole connection that we have to attain as a result of all the incarnations and our entire life in this world. So we have to come to love of the Creator through the love of friends.
If this is so, what does keeping the 612 Commandments give us? they're 613 Mitzvot and why does he say 612 for if we observe these 612 we will reach the last commandment, so let's see. First we need to know what a rule is, a Klal. It is known that a collective, a Klal, consists of many individuals and without the individuals there cannot be a collective. For example when we refer to an audience as a sacred audience, meaning a big group, we are referring to a number of individuals who have gathered and formed a unit.
Afterward a head is appointed to the audience when they gather and this is how they organize and it's called a minian or a congregation whereas at least ten people must be present and then it is possible to say Kedusha, meaning they will be able to come to a state in the appeal to the Creator which is called Kedusha, Holiness; meaning, they truly come to the Creator. If they have at least ten people and they truly intend together to come to adhesion with the Creator and the Zohar said about it wherever they are ten meaning within every ten Divinity dwells; meaning, the Creator is revealed and this means that in a place where there are ten people there is a place for the dwelling of Divinity, for the revelation of the upper light, the revelation of the presence of the Creator.
Accordingly it turns out that the rule love thy friend as thyself is built upon the 612 Commandments or actions, corrections, which are called Commandments. In other words If we keep the 612 Commandments we will be able to achieve the rule love thy friend as thyself. It turns out that the particular elements allow us to achieve the collective and when we achieve the collective will be able to achieve the final commandment which is called love the Creator, as it is written my soul yearns for the Lord. That's it, there was a question and that's how he answered it. and in the continuation of a few more sentences here he is already answering another question.
2. S. (6:40) As we are performing the commandments what happens? Do we achieve love of friends or do we enter immediately love for the Creator?
R. Commandments are called actions, all kinds of different actions within which we need to perform them in order to bestow and not for ourselves but in order to bestow. Through the friends to the Creator or directly in all kinds of ways but it's usually actions between a person and his surroundings and from this these actions, from the surroundings, the environment, he's incorporated into, to the Creator.
This is how we give back the whole human level, the whole degree of Adam where it becomes more resembling of the Creator, we bring it back to the Creator these actions are called Mitzvot, Mitzvot fromTzivuy, commandments, something that's being commanded. We're commanded to come to a state of equivalence of form with the Creator, we towards the Creator as he is towards us and then we are in adhesion with Him.
S. The student of Kabbalah, his goal is to reach equivalence of form through the commandments in relation to the environment?
R. Yes, the end of an act as in the initial thought. We want to reach adhesion with the Creator and that is to begin with is as a goal for us. Now in order to reach this goal we need to reach a connection between us and then from the connection between us a connection with the Creator. There are two stages all together here.
3. S. (9:20) Regardless of all the height of the commandment of love your friend as yourself, this is the beginning of the work?
R. Right, right. All together we have two degrees: love thy friend as thyself and love thy lord your God, that’s it, we don't have anything more than that. We have two states that we have to do, two stages, clear?.
4. S. (10:17) He explains interestingly that the rule of the collective, he explains it in the example of the ten, the Minyan, how does it relate?
R. I cannot come to the love of others in order to reach the love of the Creator from there if I'm not incorporated together with ten people, it's the condition that comes to us from nature that there has to be a Minyan, a ten. If I connect with a ten then it is with certainty that I am arranged in such a way that I am organizing myself, my internality, my will to receive in a manner that I can move from that to the Creator.
Where I build from my ten a vessel that will be suitable to absorb or receive the Creator and this vessel will always be between me and the Creator, the ten, it will always be. Therefore we need to first come to the love of the others, to the love of the created beings to build a vessel from them and with this vessel approach the revelation of the Creator to seek Him, to be clothed in Him and adhered to Him.
S. So what does it mean that, as you said, that these commandments, like what Rabash wrote here, that I can reach love your friend as yourself through all the other tens? What are these actions that we need to do between us for the correction?
R. We want to connect as one man in one heart where the Creator which is the goal for each and everyone will be a Creator for us all together as one and then in yearning to Him we connect. Imagine to yourself that we are connecting by having one Creator. Okay?
S. The Creator is one and the rule is also universal so what are these different actions, the 612?
R. That we will interpret later. Later, in us, all such manners that are different are revealed in us. How we can be connected helping one another etc. that is later, not a problem. Don't put your head into such things that you can get confused with, it's best to always remain in a state where you are certain that you're holding on to something, at least to something.
5. S. (13:50) I'm trying to understand, do I now need to put on tefillin and all other actions that will lead to the love of others?
R. We need to come to the commandant of love thy friend as thyself.
S. So we immediately work on loving others?
R. You're not being told that you have something else in the middle, you are told that you have to come to love thy friend as I thyself and the next stage which is love thy Lord thy God. Now upon all the corporeal actions here yes, no, to who yes and to who not, we're not talking about that for the time being. That's it, we are not talking, as if they do not exist.
S. You always tell us to read the articles of Rabash and to go over them, so now let's say in a bit of time, a week, two weeks, we will go over these articles again.
R. You're supposed to relate to what's written in the article, that's it.
S. So the 612 Commandments?
R. 612 Commandments means that all together we have 620 desires from which seven less is 613 so the 613 commandments we need to correct in order to bestow and these 613 desires are revealed in us along the way towards the end of correction. That is it.
6. S. (16:04) So we're learning that to make your desire as his desire and this desire is now between me and the Creator and in this case is it the other? The friend?
R. Make your will like his will. According to the love between us and between the friends we learn what it means to make your will His. Where I want to adhere to a friend where as all my desires will be similar to His desires, in order to bestow and then from that I learn what it is to bestow to a friend. If I come to a state where I try to bestow to nine friends in all kinds of states that we go through then it's called that I am ready to be in the state of bestowing contentment to the Creator.
Look at how much of a choice here, what a variety, you are in 613 actions towards the friends, towards each and every friend from the nine friends. Besides you there are nine friends, should be and then by this you correct your entire will to receive and then with your whole desire to receive you only come to the rule, to the collective, from what you receive from the Creator in order to bestow so that through them, through all these friends, through all these actions you bestow to the Creator and here you have already a whole vessel.
7. S. (18:18) Is there an action that I can do for the friend that means that I love the friend as much as I love myself?
R. Find such an action, yes.
S. Does it exist, such an action?
R. Yes, if it's written love a friend as thyself it not only exists but it's a commandment. It's a Mitzvah that you must love him that way, just like yourself.
S. I have to search for these actions?
R. Yes
8. S. (19:06) The collective is built on many individuals. What are these individuals?
R. The details and the individuals is that I love my friends and all the opportunities that we can strengthen the connection between us all the way until we cannot even differentiate between us as one man in one heart. This is what we need to work upon every day.
S. So all these states that we received from the Creator in the connection between us?
R. Yes and it could be that after a few years we will be able to feel how to start keeping this and how to observe this.
S. What do you mean? How to observe it after a few years? What do you mean?
R. I observe it and I intend to gradually, slowly, slowly trickle into our desire to receive in order to receive and then it's corrected. Through these drops of lights that we receive through every single effort we make in coming closer to one another.
S. How important is it our inclusion in the morning lesson that we receive the light within us within the ten, within the collective on the way to correcting the individuals?
R. How important is it? I cannot tell you how important it is but it is important. To measure I cannot but it is very important because the morning lesson is actually like the Keter for every Partzuf that we build throughout the day.
Reading again (21:22): “What does the Klal, rule, also collective…”
9. S. (23:48) What are 612 commandments? Are we performing them as we connect with the friends?
R. 613 mitzvot are 613 actions in order to bestow where each and every action emerges from the desire to receive that is corrected in order to bestow. We have 613 desires to receive and we need to correct them to be in order to bestow and then it's considered that we can observe them in order to bestow, this is called that we are performing Mitzvot, from the work Tzivuey, to command, the Creator is commanding us to correct our desire to receive in order to receive, to in order to bestow.
S. What is the connection between the 613 Commandments and 125 degrees?
R. There are many things here. There are 125 degrees, 613 commandments, 620 commandments. different actions. You can find this I think in the book of Zohar in the last volume there. I arranged it so that maybe I'm sure that it's in the archive and you can also see it on the internet. These things, address your department heads and they will give you where to find it.
The key to the numbers you can receive from there. There are many things to it, whoever is interested in it, where as we explain it in the general way and not entering into details that we have desires all together 620 desires, we need to correct 613 desires so that they will be from in order to receive to in order to bestow and then we perform 613 commandments and if you're telling me where else are the other seven commandments? We will correct them later. That's already in the actual end of correction and that's it. Now how do I know which desires I need to correct? Every single desire that you feel in your life try to define it and observe it and arrange it in order to bestow through the friends to the Creator.
10. S. (27:10) What does it mean to be with the friends, included with them?
R. To be included and incorporated with the friends means that we first of all cannot observe, we cannot keep these corrections, these commandments unless it's in the relationship between us. Everyone here both women and men, we cannot perform commandments or corrections in the relations between us in order to bestow if we are not incorporated, if we are not connected between us together. It turns out that all the commandments are so that we will connect between us correctly, to be as one man in one heart and from this heart we turn to the Creator.
11. S. (28:12) You mentioned that the morning lesson is like the Keter of the Partzuf that we build throughout the day. What does it mean and how do we use our presence during the lesson to realize our day through the dissemination and inner work?
R. I receive from my students such letters, emails. First of all I'm sorry but I don't usually answer most of the emails, what I talk about in the lesson I'm thinking it's considered enough that that is enough, whoever hears the lessons receives what he needs and what she needs. So I read these emails that they get up in the morning and they don't want to wake up and in the middle of the night they're jumping and don't want to go and all kinds of such moods and different relations to an attitude towards that lesson and me excetera excetera.
The main thing is not the states that you're going through, the main thing is the deeds, the actions that you go through that you come to the lesson or don’t. If you decided that you're coming to the lesson physically then physically and not that today you're not coming or you're coming only virtually. So that's why I'm saying that the beginning of the lesson is the beginning of the day, it's the beginning of the morning, it's the beginning of the new spiritual state, our lesson. It needs to be the most important.
A person that's in the middle of the lesson needs to feel himself being filled, truly being filled with all the spiritual charge and then throughout the day it's somehow enough for him maybe until the afternoon lesson and then through the night where he has maybe a few more meetings and conversations with his friends, for sure there needs to be and this is how it has to go throughout the day but the morning lesson has to be the main lesson.
12. S. (31:07) Does love of others begin when I stop thinking about myself?
R. Love of others begins when I appreciate the other more than I do myself. Anyone who is greater to his friends his inclination is greater than Him; meaning, day after day my ego, my will receive grows and I rise above it in love of others in love of friends and the next day it is even greater and I rise above it even more and this is how I advance, meaning what am I advancing upon? Upon the love for myself, the egoistic love for myself and then when I rise above it to the love of friends. That's how I constantly rise above the love of myself towards the love of others.
13. S. (32:19) When does the ten turn into a holy place?
R. When the ten is connected as one man with one heart to a certain extent, there are measures here, there are 125 degrees here and also in every degree there are five degrees, so when the ten begins to connect it starts to be as a ladder upon which we climb upwords.
14. S. (32:59) Is loving first of all a feeling and then fulfilling?
R. To love is considered to fill the other. To open ones heart and fill it with all that I'm capable of filling.
15. S. (33:20) What causes real contentment to the Creator? Actions and thoughts of the person or feelings that the person reveals or both?
R. The connection between us that we perform in order to bring Him contentment. Just like good children towards their mother where they are willing to be connected despite the ego between them and want to quarrel with one another but for their mother, they stop themselves and overcome themselves.
16. S. (34:04) What does it mean to take care of the ten that you don't have a physical connection with?
S. We need to overcome that, we need to nevertheless feel a connection that is above the physical distance.
17. S. (34:32) How do we arrange any desire that we feel in life in order to bring contentment to the Creator?
R. I cannot answer that right now. We will scrutinize it. I think it's enough all together, these questions, they themselves, especially the women, need to try and answer the questions themselves. Have them connect between them, unite and find answers to all the questions.
18. S. (35:48) Maybe you can explain why a Kabbalist would write such an article that is supposed to open the wisdom before us where without your explanation we would understand it completely differently?
R. How is it opposite? What are you telling me here?
S. If we read this article, we need to keep and observe Torah and Mitzvot…
R. No, if you come to the wisdom of Kabbalah you need to interpret everything according to the desire because all of our corrections are with our desires. Therefore, we have 613 Mitzvot, commandments, in the wisdom of kabbalah which means that if you correct all of those you are correcting all 620 desires in your soul. That is it. It is not talking about the organs in your corporeal body but rather upon the internal actions.
S. I understand, I'm not asking about that but why is it written in such a way that without your clarification we wouldn't be able to properly understand this article. Why is it like that? That the writings are so blocked that without having a teacher that guides you step-by-step word by word and again each time you explain that these are desires?
R. Because you have been accustomed to your nature because that's what you have in your hands. You are used to being close to you and you send the suit to you that way because you can hold it by the hand and understand and feel that's how you interpret things and you have to stumble upon this time and try to explain it in the correct way. When we start to explain things correctly everything becomes very beautiful, very clear and very understood.
That loved my friend as thyself is the rule. What is it telling you? 613 Mitzvot are explained to us as the collective of love thy friend as thyself. How could it be that I will do, I perform such for or action in kosher rules and all kinds of other things and that helps me reach love thy friend? Tell me, explain to me. I also don't see it in this world so much, a result of it. I see that there are people who observe commandments in corporeality in all sorts of distances between them, distancing in the forms of a pride,ego, not that there they are doing things hat they don't observe anything but nevertheless we see that the observance of commandments in corporeality can give a person another reason for pride actually. Therefore, God forbid I'm not negating anything here but I'm saying that the intention is not in that. We need to correct the heart, Just like it is written that all the commandments in the Torah were given in order to correct the heart.
S. It follows that without a teacher that really goes with you like a blind that you have to put your feet step by step so that you can get lost in this wisdom in 2 seconds?
R. Right,right and you need to remind one another all the time. That's why I saw those and they were very few. What can you do? That's our way but gradually it's being clarified and it becomes more apparent and it would be understood by many people in this world that everything needs to be corrected in the heart. In the heart is called ``all our desires". The Creator created the will to receive and we need to correct the desire to receive and nothing except for that.
19. S. (40:58) Does love of others play the role of a conduit and that we relate the role of the Creator? Is that the role that we are playing?
R. Yes, of course we always turn to the friends.Otherwise we have no connection. If we don't observe and keep the connection with the Creator and don't come to him with a question, we won't have an answer from him. Therefore, we first of all have to be connected with the friends. From the love of others we come to love the Creator. From the connection of the friends we come to the connection with the Creator and it cannot be any other way.
S. Thank you Rav
20. S. (42:18) Will all of humanity have to come to the 613 Commandments?
R. No, no no we will talk about that later. Not everyone, not everything. Of course we have to ascend and rise above their will to receive in order to receive, to the will to bestow but not with the same intensity and the same complexity as we have. Much much less.
S. But they will have to come to love thy friend as thyself?
R. Yes, yes but much less.
S. Meaning less corrections?
R. Yes, that also follows the pyramid.
21. S. (43:29) You talked about a very practical action to try to invert every desire you have in order to bestow. It is a very standout desire inside of me. What do I do with it ?
R. After you know what you need to do in order to bestow, then you catch yourself in a certain action, in a certain desire and then you try to perform that in order to bestow not for yourself but the opposite for the benefit of the friend, for the benefit of the Creator. Then you need to perform a Tzintum, a restriction that you don't think about your own benefit and connect with the desire of a friend, or the desire of the Creator and try to do according to what is in that desire.
That you are a bestower to that desire, You fulfill it and that you in some way resemble the Creator towards the friend or as the Creator that you are the host sitting in front of the host and you are scrutinizing what I can give. If I have nothing to give other than receiving what he wants to give me in order to bestow. Then you begin to see how you perform it, how to do it. Soon we are coming to situations where we are going to perform it in practice. That we will begin to feel that I have a desire and that the Creator has a desire and how do I interact with him in practice? I need to restrict myself on my desire, not to receive from myself, and then the screen, that I only want to perform for his benefit.
Then I entered the ability to perform a Zivug de Hakka that what He wants to give me, I only want to accept in order to bestow and I check everything in order to my ability to do it for His benefit. Then I come in contact with Him or am I receiving pleasure in order to bring contentment to Him, only for that, above the restriction meaning above reason. This is how we will begin to connect from between us to the Creator and soon in a few lessons we will begin to delve into these matters. Then we will begin to study the Ten Seifirot, TES in practice that you will begin to observe and keep these matters in practice that's it.
22. S. (47:14) Let's say, that I say that the desire of others is the closest thing that a person has to give the Creator in order for connection. Let's say that someone hears me from the ego. It sounds terrible from the ego. it is not something that I intend, but it is what he hears. Do we need to simplify and remove the language?
R. I do not understand, who am I speaking for? Who are you speaking about when you are asking?
S. Let's say you just explained about certain practical advice but usually you don't lower the level of the language you keep it at a very high level?
R. It is too early, you see that you can't reach it on your own so I am opening a little bit but again you need to keep out of the connection between you that you need to understand what you are speaking about. That is it and not to speak outside of the group.
23. S. (48:43) He writes that there needs to be 10 to do Kedusha in prayer. What is that state in the work in the Ten?
R. Holiness is us coming to a very special degree, a spiritual degree. Then we ascend to the degree of divinity. We will talk about it later. It is in the reception of the light Hochma in order to bestow.
S. Is there an individual feeling of holiness or is it a general feeling in the Ten?
R. Within the Ten. If a person is included in the Ten this is how it feels. Does the whole Ten feel it? No, only to as much as he is included.
S. Is it a feeling inside of a person?
R. I said what I said.
24. S. (49:53) What does it mean that I corrected a desire in me? How do I know that I corrected it?
R. You know out of the fact that you have a restriction for reception for yourself and a screen in order to bestow.
S. Is it only the desires that I have to discover that I have to correct before the friends or in general?
R. First of all in front of the friends and then of course in front of the others but not that others recognize it and say no. I think that we are done with this article. Do we have questions from the woman?
S. Yes, they asked questions and we also have questions in the hall.
R. Good, let's see what they have.
25. S. (51:01) How to change the desire? Is it the same as changing intention or not?
R. Desires we are not changing, They change within us and then the intentions we build on our own from the connection between us.
26. S. (51:45) Could it be that a person works in the Ten in a general way and tries to nullify before the friends, tries to bestow and he correct some desire, some Mitzvah but I do know, it seems that it's concealed from him?
R. No Such a thing cannot be.
S. Exactly when he is correcting it, does he knows about it?
R. He needs to know what he's doing. He needs to cleave to that very action and to cleave and adhere to all the actions of the restriction, and the Masach.
.
S. Our annulment towards working that is not corrections?
R. It is on the way to corrections but not corrections in practice.
S. What is it?
R. These are not corrections in practice. You are not doing a spiritual action, You are not receiving in order to bestow. There is no upper light that is revealed through your actions.
27. S. (53:09) We perform work between us to come to love between us in order to come to love the Creator together?
R. Yes.
S. Then we have desires that are revealed, all kinds of desires, and if we don't ascribe every desire to the friends and to the Creator then we disconnect from the work. Therefore it is a Mitzvah, it's a commandment, it's a must to take every desire that comes up in our life and associate it with this work, otherwise it will disconnect us from this work?
R. Correct, this is related to the connection between us. Try to do all of the things that we do and to see them as an opportunity to connect between us
S. It's a true obligation to do so, whoever is on this path, this is the commandment that he must do?
R. Yes, but iit is each and everyone doing it inside himself without speaking too much or maybe even showing it in any external forms. Rather each needs to each and every moment do work in connection because in that connection he will reveal the Creator.
28. S. (54:45) Today in our Ten,we have a meal, how do we not come as individuals and not as a collective?
R. You need to think about what the meal is for, why are you having it. What is the reason, and what is the desired outcome? Not just in words, that these words you just accept or receive from the book or from the lesson but rather really a deep need inside the heart when you speak about it in advance. When you come to the meal, it is not the meal that you are preparing to eat and drink. Rather it is the form of connection that you want in this connection to advance to attain in such a connection that the Creator is going to be revealed there. This is the main thing. You need to think and Kabbalists would sit and think and aim themselves towards the meal a great amount of time.
It is not that you just arrive and fall into the chair and grab a piece of bread and to eat it and to say L'chaim on the drink Rather, it is really that each and every action will be in order to be internally connected to the Ten. Try to do it in such a way that it will be very very deep in the heart that all of the external signs that you do with your body will only be external signs but really it is their internal connection in the mutual heart that you are preparing this heart for the fulfillment and this will be called the real meal. That a the heart, your collective heart is filled with the Creator, with the upper light. Then it will be called a real meal.
29. S. (57:52) We're talking about the Commandments and the correction of the desires but we didn't read the article until the end and then at the end it is written how we are all connected to one another. Where there are things about a son and emphasizes that we are dependent on one another. It seems to me that the article only talks about our connection and that we are connected in Arvut and that we cannot perform this matter of love for others and that's why we connect in the Ten and obligate one another and the Mitzvah.
R. I understand you but what are you saying that we can only keep all the demands from the Creator? Only through the connection in the Ten between the friends.
S. Yes, that is the revelation of the article because it says 613 commandments. It's simply got me angry because of all those Mitzvot. I'm just saying about this article if we read it to the end and then it's only talking about our connection and our Arvut?
R. We spoke about that and we are talking about the connection and the Arvut and that only in the connection we reveal the Creator. This is the desired outcome from all our work.
That's it. That we understand correctly the 613 Mitzvot, 613 connections that we need to establish between us.
30. S. (59:38) How to do a correction for my friend in my Ten? We are celebrating the Yertizite, the day of the departure of Rabash and there will be a report soon for the friends. We started this week by studying the Social Articles of Rabash that are the foundation for us. How do we use the special day? How do we learn these articles and implement them?
R. The article of Rabash didn't exist in such a revealed form of the Kabbalist writings that over the years they started to reveal some of the matter. Let's say from the Middle Ages and onwards, they never spoke so clearly as Rabash which is why we exist in gratitude to Rabash, son of Baal HaSulam, Baruch Yehuda Ashlag and how much we try to be close to him. In that we advance and today we are coming close to his Yartzait and today we will be at the meal and you already share the invitation to that. Usually you don't invite people to a Yartzait meal, rather you just announce. What do I want to say? We are studying these articles accordingly so we advance. Accordingly we receive our life, our spiritual life and thanks to him we exist. This isn't really our spiritual father.
31. S. (01:02:18) What is your advice so that we will manage to step in those footsteps that Rabash is leading us to in his writings, especially in his Social Writings which are truly the foundations to build Tens and the group?
R. Yes, especially the first article, the 10s of articles but they especially speak about connection, the unity that needs to be attained in connection and how we attain in the connection between us and we need to continue and continue. I'm telling you that I have been reading them for over 30 years, more almost 40 years and I am telling you that I am finding more and more new things according to which I see how much I'm Lacking to reach some sort of resemblance to my great teacher, so we need to repeat it and go over it again and again.
S. How do you, who for 40 years, together with him, learn from his articles how you manage to walk to specifically walk in his footprints? What is your advice on what is the advice to be able to step in those places that he stepped?
R. I simply feel that I hold on to him. I grab him and I walk with him like a small person next to a great one. As much as he continues, as much as he walks, I walk with him. It cannot be that I will make a step while I'm disconnected from him and I from this connected I am like a little kid that is afraid about what is going to happen to me and again I grab on to him and this is what we need to get used to , that this him source is always with me.
32. S. (01:05:14) From the summary of today and yesterday, many times we see as an example that you and Rabash were in our village and you saw the whole situation in a negative and he saw it in a positive way and afterwards I today see the world in a negative way, and you see it in a positive way, you said it today in the lesson. How do we come closer to their perception of the world to see it in such a way?
R. Of course, I see everything positively because day by day people die in all sorts of wars and battles and there is no end to it. The situation in the world in general, more and more difficult, sharp and confusing.
I hope that still people will understand that there is no other option other than to reach communication. The problem is that it is a compilation of many problems all together and the solution is the wisdom of Kabbalah is to rise above the ego, in our ego we will never find a solution. We will find problems and challenges, only to find that here it will be the place of the place of our death, the place of our burial. This is what will be inside. I hope it will all be done soon, possibly between Russia and Ukraine and other places in the world where we have skirmishes and battles and we hope that it'll all end soon and the world will learn from it. What can be done for the future for it to not happen again.
S. Yes, we learned that the hearts of leaders are in the hands of the Creator. The question is how can we as a group ask the Creator to influence their hearts?
R. You said it very well. We can pray to the Creator, the one that does peace in the heavens will do peace among us that peace is the name of the Creator and we want Him to descend to us, land on us and cover us in the umbrella of peace.
S. The last question, Yom Kippur is coming close in a few days. On that day we are supposed to judge ourselves and the Creator probably has to judge the whole world. How are you doing these days? Can we as a group do something so that it will not be a day of judgment?
R. We need to ask from the Creator that he judge the entire world in mercy and that all of the creatures will merit to be close to Him, to be near Him and certainly to connect together between us and to Him with the entire world will rise to the degree of the upper world. This is what we need to ask, everything depends on us, in this request. The Creator is ready, it is the force of love, the force of connection, of bestowal. All that is missing is the request. The uplifting of MAN from us. Hopefully we will connect in such a way that certainly he will do this action upon us and all of us together will rise together at least to the first spiritual degree. This is the most difficult ascent. We hope that it will happen, from here I want to say bid you farewell goodbye and until the afternoon lesson.
