Passover - Selected Excerpts from the Sources

1.Rav’s Introduction: Yes, every year for several decades now we learn immediately after Purim immediately start to learn about Passover, first of all this is our bases, the foundation, Passover from the word passing over, when we take a step outside of this world, to the next the higher world. We have to prepare ourselves for the Creator to do this exit on us, the Exodus from Egypt, exiting from the ego from Mitzrayim, which is the extract of evil this is how we gradually start to feel our state that we are in our desire to receive, in our selfish desire to receive and this is how we try to do everything that is needed. So that Creator would it take us out of it, this is why we are beginning to learn the material about Passover, there is a lot of material about it.

This is the longest and biggest part, the richest part in material that everybody is talking about all the Sages, the books of the wisdom, precisely about this period of the Exodus from Egypt. Because everything is built on it is we learn in all the blessings as well that we bless as the bless our states afterwards, when we progress to the end of correction we always remind ourselves that we come from Egypt. So we say in the blessings as a memory of the Exodus from Egypt so let's get into this material, be incorporated in it find in it all kinds of internal states for each one, internal in each ten, internal in all of reality, in human reality. From this we will learn all our states that accompany us from here until the end of corrections, let's go to these verses and scrutinize we have time and mainly we have to feel how we, with our minds and hearts, go through these states in a way that we are incorporated in them, in all those states.

2. R. (03:30) In other words the whole path to spirituality when the person comes to learn the wisdom of Kabbalah, he is told that he has to be incorporated into the friends, into a single group but of course it is after the beginners course. Then he starts to get into the group becomes incorporated into the friends and he is told that the connection with the friends it is the main thing and our entry into spirituality can be only when we are all connected as one man with one heart.

Then we feel our group, that then when the person comes there the ten, as one and the person starts to feel that all of his spirituality should happen, should be revealed to him only in the ten from the common feeling that he has in this group. Therefore all the questions, answers, the problems and their solution they are all in the relationships between us when we come to a state called Egypt and we do not know why, how and what, this is how we start to connect in the ten and because the Sages are telling us and we want to try and hear each one according to how he can’t understand their calling.

Then until we begin to see how these things are necessary that precisely within the group we should build states that are called Egypt and then how we come out of these states and improve them into more and more spiritual states that are called the Exodus from Egypt and this is how later we come to the land of Israel through the desert through all kinds of problems. Israel, meaning Yashar Kel, straight to the Creator when our desires are no longer directed only to our own benefit in this life but it directs us to the spiritual life and this is how we continue. In the meantime we are at the beginning even though we do not understand that we are facing the descent into Egypt.

Excerpt 1 (07:10)

3. R. (08:02) Yes, this means that it is not possible to exit Egypt, meaning to leave the governance the control of the selfish ego which is opposite to the Creator closes us into this reality we are, here in the feeling of this world. It is impossible to emerge from this but unless we start to feel this state as a dungeon, as a prison we are in exile, outside of holiness, bestowal and love of others, outside of the Creator. So this is why we have to recognize our situation, recognize the vessel we are in, how bitter it is, how evil it is, although according to the physical state we can say it is not so bad but nevertheless we must continue working on the connection between us to receive more and more light from above. Then our situation will be felt in us as bad and then we want to run away from it and get out of it to the point that we are running away from it and we will do this at night, in the darkness, at midnight, these are spiritual examinations and then we will be able to escape from our current reality.

Excerpt 1 (09:57)

4. R. (10:59) For now we have no questions, so we will continue if there are questions even about this first text we will go back, in the meantime let's continue.

Excerpt 2 (11:06)

5. R. (11:22) What is the Inheritance of the land the land is desire inheriting the land means acquiring a new desire instead of the desire to receive which is in order to receive, which is called Egypt, we shift to desire that is in order to bestowal then this is the land of Israel.

Excerpt 2 (11:42) Twice

6. R. (12:55) Meaning to receive the desire to bestowal, for the desire to bestowal to dress into us and then we will be able to feel to some extent like the Creator.

Reader continues: (13:05) “Since the Segula of….”

7. R. (03:13) On the land on the desire to bestowal.

Reader continues: (13:14) “As through it one is rewarded….”

8. R. (13:17) That precisely to this the Creator is directing us so he will come to the desire to bestow and would be able to be fulfilled with all the abundance which is the Creator himself.

Reader continues: (13:40) “This is why Abraham the….”

9. R. (13:56) Because it means receiving a huge light, fulfilling the complete eternal upper world compared to our world which is just like a tiny black dot, so from where would they have vessels to put all the knowledge, the understanding and the feelings that exist in attaining the upper world for from where would they take such big vessels to be rewarded with the Inheritance of the land.

Reader continues: (14:43) “finally the Creator told them….”

10. R. (14:41) That precisely when they are in the dark they prepare themselves to a state where they seemingly exit from darkness to light already with new vessels where they can receive all the knowledge, understanding, feeling and all the examinations and details that exist in the upper world that operates according to the forces of bestowal. We say it is 620 times more which is not so much, it is only 620 times more than initially, it is as if the number is limited as if it was finite. 620 I don't know it might be billion, but the billions would be still finite, we do not understand this, in spirituality it is not measured by how many times over, it is measured in essence. So just as we cannot compare between the animate, the still or the vegetative, all the differences between them, the fundamental essential differences between them. Likewise we cannot compare but it means to have a perception, because what is the perception of we have in Egypt, we are not even in Egypt yet because being in Egypt is already attainment of the evil nature, the evil inclination. It is the attainment of the upper force the Creator in an opposite, reversed way operating on us in an opposite way.

11. S. (16:42) Why do we specifically need big vessels to be rewarded with the Holy Land?

R. In spirituality that vessels are examinations details between light and darkness, these pixels as much as you can bring them into perception,so they need many of them until we attain the form or the shape of the Creator which is a form let's call this analogue, unbounded and we perceive not in an analogue way but we see it through many many dots until they give us the shape of reality, these many points. We do not feel these points themselves but the connection between them which brings us the picture, which creates the picture, the connection between them this is what is important for us.

That this is why we need many many such pixels until we can make from them the form of the Creator, how he behaves with us what he wants to tell us with his revelation and in what way do we perceive these points of light and the points of darkness and the accumulation between them, why we understand in this way, why do we understand these messages from the Creator this is the whole wisdom of Kabbalah. This is the wisdom of perception of reality the Creator and the created being and the created being received the Creator through one principal, the extent of being similar to the Creator. So all those pixels within us become arranged in such a way that they build in us this image, this form and then we come to learn, to study the Creator and this is by your actions we know you.

S. So what are these pixels in our work now that we need to collect inside?

R. All the good and evil things we discover in our situation, in the connection between us, in progress, build for us points of light and points of darkness and their accumulation all together builds in us a picture. It cannot be all light, it is that darkness will shine as light even there are points of darkness that we have between the points of light, those points of lights and points of darkness also tell as about the points of the lights and all together give us the shape of the world, tell us about the Creator and we will be able to arrange ourselves accordingly as well.

12. S. (20:39) If we cannot measure and evaluate these vessels by Nature, how can we perceive their greatness?

R. Bit-by-bit specifically through opposites and precisely as in the advantage of the light in the darkness precisely through this, attain the greatness of the light in the lowliness of the darkness through experience because these things accumulate and build in us the forms and the relationship between the forms.

13. S. What I do not understand, how the work of the light causes us to prefer something that we know very well is our vessel but how can we choose the vessels of the light of the Torah, what do we have to do inside to switch between the vessels?

R. It is only revealed by the efforts of the friends are going to be in mutual responsibility with between them the principal is very simple we have to be a mutual responsibility and by making efforts we are building ourselves more and more suitable to be able to feel the point of darkness in the points of light and then we can progress between them.

13. S. (22:42) Why is the most effective way to receive these vessels is the exile, so why do we need the exile?

R. The Creator prepared for us the exile on purpose so we would feel the darkness in our life but the exile is already a spiritual state, it is not like all of humanity is in exile. If you're speaking to them and they do not know what you're speaking about, what exile, we are alive, we have everything in our life, what are you talking about? The exile means that the person feels that he is in exile, that he was thrown out from his place and he is not very he wants to be, where he deserves to be very he thinks he should be. So our situation is still according to our feelings, some feel that they are in a good situation, some feel that they are in a relatively evil situation, some feel that I am in jail, I am in prison, I am in exile, I cannot stand it. All those states are still within Egypt, when we come out of Egypt, when we are ready for anything. Only to come out of the state of disconnection from acts of bestowal when we want to give to each other so much that we are willing for anything. Then we are ready for anything just come to bestow and then we come out of Egypt, do you understand how not simple this all is, so we have to take what we are learning seriously and try to implement it every day in the connections between us.

14. S. (25:15) What should we attain in the ten in order to feel that we are attaining the evil inclination?

R. We do not need much, we just need to attain in the connection between us that there is this force that does not let us, that does not give us the ability to connect between us, to be one man with one heart. This is called the evil inclination, our ego and we must rise above it and by rising above the force of rejection that does not let us connect in one heart this is called The Exodus from Egypt.

15. S. (26:22) According to the text that people did not really want to reach the Creator so the question is what changes, shifts my desires from fantasy to reality?

R. Only in if you are in a ten and everybody is trying a little bit to be emerging from the ego between them, between the friends and then they help each other when each multiplies the group, the effort in the group, everybody’s effort in the group. The whole group multiplies these efforts and each comes to a state when they can no longer stay in the exile, the disconnection between them and then they started to cry out and then they come out of the state. This is already an Exodus from Egypt but along the way see what is written in the Torah for the whole story, how much and how many states they have to go through. Moses was born in Egypt and the daughter of the Pharaoh took care of him, raised him. So there are very profound stories here and what is happening in creation until they come to a state where they become organized and they organize themselves and come out of Egypt. It is not simple, it is a very complicated story but we will study it bit by bit, it will give us many examinations and details on the way but we have to understand this is the state we have to go through, of course not quite as it is written but to some extent to some sort of it, yes.

16. S. (28:48) Something is still unclear how to help these friends around me to help each other to come ready to feel the state of exile in Egypt, to feel this dungeon, how to help each other to come to this feeling of the prison we want to escape from?

R. Give each other examples of the right behavior even though it is coming to you artificially but give this example to the others and you will see how it is absorbed and how they change then as a result, how they do these things and how it influences you in return and then you also do it. Only through examples to each other and don't laugh at these states, take them seriously, go through them seriously, seriously meaning you do not laugh about it, you act it out but you act seriously so to grow just like children play but they do not know they are playing and by this they grow.

S. How to give an example of being in exile through the lesson?

R. Show examples about being in the exile, about the feeling of being in the prison. You do not have to start the screaming we dare not too impressed by outcries and shouts although it is in all kinds of states of friends and students, we simply want to show each other how much I am taking upon myself the spiritual stages we have to go through in the group. How much I am taking them seriously with all my might, with everything I can do, in any way I can I show it to the friends. This is it I do not abandon or slight the physical life. I handle it the way I have to handle it but at the same time I make exertions, I put all my effort into the spiritual way to the connection between us to the point where our common prayer finally can influence the Creator and he can deliver us from Egypt

17. S. (32:11) The people of the Bnei Baruch organization, are we still in exile ?

R. All the spiritual states, are states that we have to feel, if I do not feel that I am in exile from spirituality then I am not in exile, I am not in Egypt. In Egypt also as we learn from the story of Egypt as we go into Egypt we are thinking that we are going into good states, good life. Egypt appeared to them as a beautiful country as the Pharaoh welcomed them beautifully, he gave them the best piece of land in Egypt until after as it is called, that 7 years of satiation, the seven good years, they started to feel that the state we thought was good it is not so good, why? Because it is that deficiency, the lack for the Creator that started to surface in them and then they started thinking about how to connect in order to attain the Creator, in what way they have to do it in order to come to it and then begin the second state, the other side, the other part. We will study this all soon.

18. S. (34:10) What is the The Exodus from Egypt in the ten, what is the feeling?

R. When we shift from the in order to receive to the in order to bestow,we can perform actions that do not come as mandatory, as governments of the desire to receive but the desire to bestow, yes, come out of under the governance of the Pharaoh into the governance of the Creator.

S. Sadly, my problem is that I do not understand yet how to do this with my friends in the ten and sometimes my work is confused because I would like to be in bestowal but I do understand that I am always in the state of reception, like a trap?

R. This is what we now need to implement between us for the Creator, to shine on us and then we received from his illumination, from his bestowal, from his influence, we will receive the understanding, the strength, the power to organize ourselves in mutual bestowal in our group and then that group will start to discover in it, reveal in it spiritual states, spiritual states of mutual bestowal which are already spiritual states. From this we go strength to strength, in degrees of bestowal increasingly more and more. This will also be towards the Exodus from Egypt and the Exodus itself. We are learning this very very seriously and practically.

19. S. (36:37) Can we elaborate on the term of exile, so what is this exile in the ten?

R. We do not throw anything away, all we do is to organize inside as all the qualities, the desires, the notions in a way that they would give us a feeling of the control of the upper force, the control of bestowal over reception and we continue and you will see.

20. S. (37:35) He is talking about how the labor builds that vessel and we say that sometimes that sitting and doing nothing is better. What labor should we do, that it does not cause harm and does not go in vain?

R. Doing nothing is also exertion, it is also an exertion just like say one who shuts his mouth during a fight and not say anything. It takes a long time and a lot of effort, a lot of strength, he does that for the sake of peace and this is why it is called exertion.

S. Why is the exertion with our hands and legs important ?

R. We just call it this way but the truth is we barely has any efforts with our physiological body, the whole effort is an internal effort.

21. S. (38:42) What determines how many different states of darkness we have to go through before we obtain the vessels to come out of Egypt?

R. That determined by the root of the soul, the depth of the soul, we do not know how much it is, the truth is it does not matter if I work for bestowal and I progress in bestowal it does not matter to me if I attain it or not, when and how many actions it takes me it doesn't really matter in principle. The principal is that I am heading towards the Creator and I am even over my smallest with my smallest states I give contentment.

22. S. (39:36)You said before that we are supposed to get messages from the Creator, what are these messages we are supposed to receive from him?

R. We will see how he relates to us and how we have to accept his messages how we have to accept his messages.

Excerpt 3 (39:57 - 40:51)

23. R. (40:53) Abraham asked, “how can I be certain that I am addressing my children?” By children he means all of the students following me, so how can I be certain that I am leading them correctly to the right state, to the right goal and that they will reach that, and they will enter spirituality and they will inherit the spiritual state? They will come to you and adhere to you and realize the goal. This is the meaning of the question: how would I know that I will inherit it, by what would I know that I will inherit? That they will get this gift, the land of Israel, of the desire that is entirely for bestowal, to love. So what is the answer of the Creator: “in the beginning you will be in a foreign land, meaning they will be an exile, they won't feel that they will have these desires of connection and love, it will feel the opposite. They will be tortured for 400 years, 400 means a whole degree, four degrees.

That they will try to come out of their ego but they will not be able to do anything and once they tried everything at their disposal in order to come out of the ego and to reach connection and love between them, and they won’t be able to, they cannot; then “they will cry out and I will save them from that place, from the exile”. Then they will come the great possessions, many possessions, meaning they will be able to take from that place of exile many vessels with which they can later reach the highest degree, up until the height of the whole ladder with what they take from the will to receive called ‘Egypt’. You later go to correct and by that you rise and rise, correct and correct all these vessels that came out of the will to receive only in order to bestow. You add them, you add to them the intention, the screen, the coarseness and the reflected light and then you reach the height of the Creator.

Reader continues: (43:49 - 44:29) “. . . here, too, we should understand . . . “

24. R. (44:33) Meaning this is clear that if Abraham asked “how can I be certain?” As much as I am certain that they will follow the right path, they’ll reach the purpose of creation, the final Corrections. Meaning what does he ask to begin with? He didn’t ask about the Creator not giving the corrections and strength, he asked about the desires of the people. Just like we see today in this world, does anybody have a desire for the final Correction? No one, they do not even know what it is, they cannot tell because they do not feel the depth of the ego they should correct. Then what happens? That's what Abraham asked, “how will they take the desire, from where? Such a big desire to correct their own ego with all of its true depth in order to rise to the highest degree through the ladder, 125 degrees, until they can climb to You, to be attached to You, where will they take it from? Ordinary human beings have no desire for this and this is called being some guarantees for inheritance. Meaning, how can he be certain that they inherit the Holy Land, all the spiritual degrees and the five worlds that they can climb and acquire rather than falling in the middle of the path or not even begin to climb the ladder? The main thing for them is to have deficiencies, that’s Abraham's question.

Reader continues: (46:36 - 47:06) “Baal HaSulam explained the meaning of this question“

25. R. (47:09) Yes, where can they take the need for such big spiritual attainments because this goes against the desire. If the desire would work along with the attainment of the feeling with understanding, a spiritual understanding, that is something else. But it goes against the desire, I have to suppress my desire, I have to turn it from in order to receive to in order to bestow in each and every degree, higher and higher and higher. So how to reach a state where I have this ‘drive’, this impulse? So this is the question, meaning we don’t know the answers yet but the question is clear, and this is being asked and really evokes a feeling of truth. When without this deficiency it is impossible to come to anything.

26. S. (48:21) A Kabbalist at the level of Abraham, he didn't see the process? Why was he surprised?

R. This is not a Kabbalist, we are talking about ‘forces’, here. Forces of nature, this is how they are called: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David. All these are forces of nature, it's not human beings, these are upper forces that can sometimes clothe in people but actually it’s forces. So how when Abraham saw these things? I do not want to make it corporeal but let's say that every spiritual root has to reach a corporeal branch, so there were some such people but how much they revealed it, how much it was revealed in them, we will talk about it on the way. We do not want this to confuse us.

S. To what extent are we in a similar state, today?

R. To the extent you feel that you are in exile, it’s very simple, you should answer yourself. If you would now be in a prison cell, in a hole in the prison, without any time that you know you would come out, would you be in a better state? Try think about that, answer that yourself.

Excerpt 4 (50:11 - 51:54)

27. R. (51:56) Just see how Rabash opens these things in a way that really scrutinizes everything. Read it again.

Excerpt 4 (52:04 - 52:38)

28. R. Meaning you get everything from above both the deficiency and the force to correct and the force to fill these corrected vessels. There is no problem, everything you get from above. Man is not required to create anything or to become the Creator, nothing only we have to do that is upon us to do and then he explains:

Reader continues: (53:05 - 54:23)

29. R. This means that we'll see how much we try and try again to come out from the in order to receive, from the vessels of reception of ours but we are not capable, ultimately we reach a state that only the Creator can bring us out. He gives us an awakening, a special illumination that will bring us out of our state and then our state will feel as exile meaning that in what we are already, we have already a feeling of what is coming later from the feeling of redemption, Ge'ulah and because if you are born in a prison you do not know anything outside of the prison. We start to get some illumination from above and it will give us a feeling that there is something above our state and it will pull us out, it will push us to want to ask, to cry if you truly want to come out of exile, otherwise we will simply keep on living with the Pharaoh thinking this is the best thing possible and when we start to feel this way about the difference between our state and Egypt with the Pharaoh and our selfish ego and its control and between the state of arising above it into the world of bestowal into the world of love and connection then accordingly these two

degrees, such big forces will be revealed and we will be able to come out of the control of the ego. This is how we come to the revelation of the Creator to us.

30. S. (56:19) It says that he did not give only the light but also the need for the light and the impression is, if I understand correctly that this is an act from above down and before that it seems that the need has to come from below, it’s our work to build it?

R. From where would you take anything? Where do you take the desire, the fulfillment or the forces to work on the desire and the forces to draw the fulfillment? Where can you take the forces from, we have nothing we ourselves can do nothing. All our work is just to connect as much as possible and to discover how much we are not capable and to turn to the Creator to help us to perform this correction. All corrections come only from above and our request for the correction comes from us, from below to the Creator. This is it so this is something we must not forget. The main thing is to remain in this.

31. S. (57:42) He writes here that we receive the lights in the vessels and the Creator develops us and it goes from Passover to Passover, the heart becomes more and more dense, thick, obtuse so we do not have these profound feelings that supposed to be revealed, there is just this thickness and inability to hear what it is about.

R. It is nice but what are you missing, what are you missing in order to feel that you are in Egypt?

Just imagine the picture for yourself what am I missing to feel that I am really in that state that I cannot stand it anymore and I cannot stand it not because I do not have millions of dollars or I am not the boss in the world or the most this or that but instead because I want to reach bestowal, the love of others, the connection with everybody and by that to attain the Creator in order to bestow onto him. All these things are in order to bestow to the Creator. What am I missing, I am missing to truly want this, there is nothing else so all these things we go through are only in order for us to want. In our connection to bestow to the Creator and in our connection that will be a Kli and bestowal to the Creator that is the reflected light, from this vessel and the Creator accordingly will elevate us and save us and he will fill us with his presence.

S. But this deficiency as if we want to come to this but I do not know how to reach this deficiency. We always do something to increase the importance of the goal. We always have what it takes but the deficiency, how to come to it?

R. We do not think about it. If we could always think about the right deficiency we want to attain then we would attain it. We are not craving for it, we are not aiming for it. The main thing is the deficiency. Besides the deficiency all the corrections all the fulfillment all come from above but the deficiency have to come from us from below.

32. S. (01:00:31) Abraham asked this question for his friend, what do the …hear me, does it mean that we need to feel this world as a part of us?

R. That is also true but let's in the meantime think about ourselves, only about ourselves. Of course we can think about the world that we have to perform our corrections with respect to the world and with respect to the Creator and we are in between. The truth is that we do have to do it to both the Creator and to the whole world. We are really in debt in both directions. That is why we have to compress our work as much as possible and to finish it as fast as possible.

33. S. (01:01:41) You said that the deficiency should come from us meening that initially it exists in us but it is hidden under layers of the ego?

R. That is of course all the deficiencies are in us but they cannot be revealed in us all these deficiencies if we cannot overcome them and direct them properly. That is according to the condition don't place an obstacle before a blind man. When a person is only shown the deficiencies that he can work with correctly rather to fall or to rise but somehow to feel where he is with these deficiencies but he is not being shown deficiencies that he could not realize at all, in any way.

S. Do we awaken them in the ten how does it work?

R. Yes of course these deficiencies should be revealed according to what we read and then according to our work.

34. R. (01:06:37) To truly be in Egypt that is a degree you have to understand that you are opposite from the Creator and you have a few steps to take before you reach him. Maybe you can even imagine to yourself how much you have to get rid of your own will to receive, how much you need to accept an intention in order to bestow in order to be equal to the Creator. Then somehow you organize these things, you have some ladder when you understand how it is built and how to climb it. That is why Baal HaSulam wrote it was about himself. Baal HaSulam did it himself and he called his interpretation to the Zohar the ladder. That is the whole thing, how to rise to our degree to the Creator.

35. S. (01:07:47) Will we always be as children before the Creator and therefore we need to ask? When will we be at this stage will we be grown ups?

R. You could be the grown-up you could even be the Creator's friend and to really come to him up to his height seemingly until his state, until his place, that is the meaning of reaching complete adhesion that is how we can imagine it to be.

Excerpt #5 (01:08:35 - 01:09:32)

36. R. That is why he asked how will I know that they will inherit it. Because maybe they will get a small light but how will they reach the entire attainment to reach the entire degree from Infinity to you, how will they reach that? The Creator said don't worry they will be in Egypt, they will be there until they get all the big deficiencies called possession. What is possession? It is an empty vessel. The empty vessel is a possession in which you can get a fulfillment. Then they will come out with a great asset with a great possession from Egypt with an empty vessel with great deficiencies and then they will reach a state in which they can fulfill themselves with all of the light of Ein Sof. The Creator says then I will be able to clothe in them and they will attain me, everyone.

Excerpt #6 (01:10:34 - 01:11:19)

37. R. Meaning that the main thing that we need is the need for the spiritual fulfillment, for in order to bestow. This need is not there. The moment that we have it we will start climbing the ladder.

Reader Continues (01:11:41 - 01:12:11) “This was the question how will I know…”

38. R. You see this in our life. How many things we have in this world, you know how many people want these big things to really discover the big desires, deficiencies, willing to work in order to reach them. If you give a small child something valuable he won't know what to do with that. He will be playing with it like a better plastic than gold for him. That is the problem because we do not know the value of spiritual attainment. That is why all the exile in Egypt, all of the states that we are going through and many people say why do we need to take so long to be in exile from spirituality. It is only for us to get the real true deficiency for spirituality. Everything is in the hands of the Creator and then he will be able to correct us and really elevate us to spiritual degrees according to the descent that we are in today.

Reader continues (01:13:35 - 01:14:00) “It Follows that even if they are given…”

39. S. He is speaking about a deficiency but then he says when concealed really fills him like a revelation then he can get the revelation but you also said that you don't measure as much as you are bestowing so the main thing is that to keep going.

R. I do not know between these two things we learned about something so ask about it.

S. That's what I'm asking about. The need he is speaking about in all of these excerpts 4 to understand that the concealment…

R. I do not know about other places I just told you.

40. S. (01:14:57) Could you please tell me can the entrance to Egypt be with my desire?

R. We only advance according to our desire, only according to our need, only according to us it's really asking and then we are receiving what we are asking for. Before that, until you really want what you need to receive according to the order of the degrees what you are supposed to receive, you will not receive it because you do not have the vessel. Meaning first you have to do to attain the deficiency then the fulfillment.

S. That we are speaking about revelation of evil that I have to ask the Creator to show me my evil?

R. In one way or another when you say I know that I have to connect with the friends in such a way that essentially there is no difference between you and them, this is called being as one heart. So you are trying and trying and trying to do that and you see that you can't and you turn to the Creator.

S. The problem is that the ego always rejects. It says that someone else is guilty and there is a problem to connect everything that is happening to the Creator. This difficulty is like connecting everything to me.

R. Yes but whatever happens we have to always inspect our deficiencies. Is it on the right track and not just coming from the side from some other sources. Meaning not from the Creator.

41. S. (01:17:13) Abraham's question is clear: where will he take a need to love the others, where will we get a need to connect? But the answer is not clear, where the need will come from. What does it mean that the Creator will give the need?

R. The Creator gives everything both questions and answers and He awakens the person towards everything. We just have to do what is required according to our state. If our state requires being as ‘one man with one heart’ as much as possible, then we have to do that.

S. Where will we take a need to that, to be ‘as one man in one heart’, that also demands a need.

R. “One should help his friend”, start acting out towards each other and you will see how it awakens everyone. If you do that in hiding from others then you cannot awaken them and you could not awaken you, and they cannot awaken you and then you will all stay this way. You are all ‘hidden righteous’.

42. S. (01:18:30) I understand when the Creator bestows, what does it mean that He bestows a need, a deficiency?

R. Where does the lack come from, the Creator. The Creator created the evil inclination and then He awakens us so that we reach a state where we have to correct that evil inclination. Everything comes from above.

S. What is the connection between developing a need on our half or receiving a need from above.

R. There is no need on our part, how come we create it? We cannot, we just have to, that is why it is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, how we develop the need for the higher, greatest, highest fulfillment, that is the whole wisdom.

S. And this need does not come from above?

R. It does come from above, where else can it come from, everything comes from above. We just have to each time awaken it.

43. S. (01:19:47) If you could explain what it means that “Abraham asked the Creator and the Creator answered him”. What does it mean, he had an illumination?

R. Yes, he understood that is what is in nature.

Excerpts 7 (01:20:16 - 01:22:36) twice

44. S. (01:22:48) You said that we are not concerned about the right deficiency. How can we determine as a goal to reach such a deficiency and not forget it?

R. Only by working in the group. If we want to realize our connection to the point that we reveal the Creator in that connection, then as a result of that we will reveal and receive all the right deficiencies and raise them to the Creator.

45. S. (01:23:26) What does it mean to attain an illumination from above? What fulfillment does it bring with it?

R. Again I say, we have to first try to connect between us with such a desire that we will understand that we cannot work with this lack unless we receive a fulfillment from above. And then with this lack we turn to the Creator and ask Him for the fulfillment and He knows what's to do. How to set us up with the right request for fulfillment, the right demand; and then He answers us based on that demand. Everything comes from above both the vessel and the light, both the lack and the fulfillment. We just have to always be in a demand on our part as much as possible for our connection and bestowing to the Creator from this connection.

46. S. (01:24:41) Is the feeling of exile in one friend enough or do we all need to reach it?

R. Well, we have to all try to feel everyone according to his Kli but we all have to be in that.

47. S. (01:25:03) During the day do we have states where we exit and enter Egypt a few times?

R. I do not think that there are such states, still, but they may happen, we will see.

48. S. (01:25:23) You said we are not in Egypt yet but we are working in tens, so it means we have some sort of need for spirituality, so when will we be in Egypt?

R. When you want to reach true spirituality then you will see that you are still opposite to spirituality, and this will be called Egypt. We only have two states, really, the broken will to receive called Egypt or the corrected will to receive called spirituality.

49. S. (01:26:07) Can a person feel that he is in exile?

R. He has to come to a state where he feels that he is in exile, yes, exile from what? Exile from the Creator, that means exile from love, from the force of bestowal, from the force of connection.

50. S. (01:26:36) I feel that I am in exile but because I won’t reach the good and not because I am not in love of friends. How do you go to the correct exile?

R. So, this is not called exile: that I do not get something good? Every woman in the world can say that, if she lacking, missing some nice dress then she already feels exile. For many that will be called exile but we are talking about something else.

51. S. (01:27:14) Is the recognition that I cannot connect to the friends, exile, or recognition of evil, and is there a connection between the two?

R. That I cannot connect to the friends, that can be recognition of evil; and with an even higher help that could be a sense of exile. Basically it is the same thing it just depends on how much I am present in this lack.

52. S. (01:27:50) It's coming out of Egypt already the Creator doing our work?

R. The exodus from Egypt is called the exit from the corporeal world and entrance into the spiritual world, and then we feel the Creator, that we come closer to Him and start working differently outside of Egypt. It means that we are no longer under the rule of Pharaoh.

53. S. (01:28:28) Can we shorten the exile?

R. By our efforts.

54. S. (01:28:39) How to see the difference between concealment and exile?

R. Concealment means something is concealed from me, exile means that I am in exile from the good forces, the forces of love, the forces of connection, and that is what I call exile.

55. S. (01:29:08) How can we help the friends be confident that coming out of Egypt is better than remaining in Egypt?

R. That is according to what you discuss amongst yourselves. “One shall help his friend” and you will be able to achieve that.

56. S. (01:29:29) You said that we do not go through the states exactly like it is written but only partially, why?

R. Bit by bit, we are included in everything but we start from something. And every little bit and everything.

57. S. (01:29:48) How could it be that a person who feels in exile stays there? Is that already coming out of exile?

R. Everything appears according to the degrees, according to the more advanced states. Like you learn in school, and not that everyone just jumps, and everything is clear. A kid goes to school and he doesn't understand why he needs to do that, he is brought there at first and then he goes there on his own. But still doesn’t understand what he’s doing exactly. Most things in our lives, we do them because everyone else does them. Gradually a person comes to independence and understanding and making his own decisions, and that is how he grows.

58. S. (01:30:53) What if a person only sees a lack of his efforts, that he cannot invest and he doesn't have the force to do more actions?

R. Ask for that force, ask for forces. They have a desire, she lets say, has a good desire but the force or the strength, not having it, the Creator wants her to ask for that.

59. S. (01:31:27) How can we see this physical war as a push to come out of Egypt. It’s something that comes out of the ten, how to use it?

R. If you want to come closer to the Creator and come out of Egypt, that is, come out of the evil inclination, by that you will very quickly reach the end of the physical war because everything that is happening in our world is a result of spirituality. If we access the spiritual roots and all of the corporeal states become similar to it , and no war will take place in our world, not even the smallest conflict.

60. S. (01:32:24) When a person just surrenders, kneels under his ego, what state is that?

R. I would say in that the environment does not support him and therefore he is in a state where he might be lost, on able to do anything on his own. He has to become Incorporated in the right environment as much as possible and they will take him out.

61. S. (01:33:01) We still do not know what the world up bestowal is, that is why we do not feel the gap between that to our state, and as much as we are deep in prison. How will we reach the right request?

R. You have to try, you have to try dear women. I know you, one by one, and each one has a high root of the soul and a good desire, and you are already for some years on the path, you have to just finally put in more strength, more efforts, and feel responsible for what is happening in Bnei Baruch and around the world, and in your families, and that it all depends on you. “Thanks to righteous women, the children of Israel come out of Egypt”, think about that. The women essentially in their desire as they raise the prayer to the Creator, from the connection between them, they take everyone out of the degree of this world and into the spiritual degree. That is what you are expected to do.

62. S. (01:34:23) What does it mean that we need to be ready for everything in order to reach bestowal, what is everything?

R. Everything is everything, it is called ‘that I am better off dead if I do not obtain spirituality then it is not worthwhile to live’, what for? Why am I living, or why do I give life to my kids, so that they suffer like me, even worse, God forbid? So now I have the opportunity to turn to the Creator so through the ten with the exercises that we can do, to turn to the Creator and force Him to change our life.

63. S. (01:35:16) Moses asked to release the people. What request will make the Creator release us out of Egypt?

R. We need to be like Moses, this is the example that the Torah gives us. That we have to do these actions as Moses did to the people of Israel, and thus see the results.

64. S. (01:35:53) How not to be afraid to blur out that cry of despair that comes out of Egypt?

R. If we do our actions right, we will reach the right kind of despair and cry from that. And then we will come out of Egypt to the land of Israel, which means from the state of concealment to the state of revelation.

65. S. (01:36:45) It was very exciting to start studying Passover. It is always the most exciting period since I came to the path. Passover and the holidays of Tishrei but especially Pesach. And with all that’s happening in the world there is a feeling that there is a real opportunity to enter this process of Passover and implement it.

R. Yes, the world is going through a very big change, an inner change, and this is in the hearts and minds of human beings. It is happening and the world will not be the same way that it used to be. We are changing fundamentally, internally, all of us, all of the people of the world. We just have to patiently let the Creator take all people through what they need to be put through, and we on our part have to as quickly as possible advance towards exiting Egypt. This is the process that the whole world needs to go through, after us, so we will advance and attract all of humanity into that state.

S. What should we in this Passover exactly put the emphasis on in order to take this process and implement it in practice?

R. We have to find the desire to exit the ego. In our time, it is already quite obvious that the whole world is in this egoistic struggle, battle, and the leaders of this world only care about that, how to only realize their egos and we have to really help all of humanity all across the world to rise above the ego, a little bit, because otherwise we will just devour each other and fail in everything. The Creator will put us through all of the suffering so that we want to be in mutual bestowal, in mutual connection. So asking for corrections, corrections for us and for the whole world, we are in a time that is very effective for this. From day-to-day there is progress from that and the world is advancing as well as we are. Sometimes the world is advancing more and pushing us or pulling us more accurately and sometimes we advance and do not even feel that we bring progress to the whole world. But we have to be responsible and want our connection to reveal None Else Besides Him, One unique and unified, the good that does good.

66. S. (01:40:14) Will I be permitted to the pilgrimage in 2022?

R. To come to us? If everything will be okay with the health situation of the world and covid and so on, then you can come. But in the meantime, we do not even gather, we don't. Once again there is another wave of coronavirus coming to Israel, I think it is coming to the whole world once again. This wave has to wash through all planet Earth but we will see if everything is calm then we will be happy to welcome everyone.
