1. Rav’s Introduction: (00:25 ) Continuing, we don't have much left from the letters so no and then we will also continue with the introduction until it's end.

Reading item 34. (00:45) “The letter Zayin entered..”

2. R. (01:07) Why is it so important for us the Shabbat because it symbolizes for us the end of correction. That we have the six days of work in which we correct the will to receive so it will be in order to bestow. On the seventh day we already conclude the correction, and we feel that we have reached an essential change in us that we are all in our will to receive corrections in order to bestow. This is what the day of Shabbat symbolizes for us. This is why it is written Shabbat and not Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday or rather Shabbat, Saturday. Shabbat meaning that it is special. There is a cessation of the work, we don't need to connect to anything else and we enter a state that is corrected, which is all good.

Continuing Reading Item 34: (02:14) He told her, “I will not create the world with you..

3. S. (06:25) no Translation

R. Well certainly the work appears in Zeir Anpin However it is done by the Nukva all of the deficiencies are in her and all of the work is in her, and then when she rises above Zeir Anpin then the whole of Zeir Anpin gets from that an ascent and this is called a virtuous woman is the crown of her husband and therefore on Sabbath opposite the end of correction, we honor the Nukva

S. What is Nukva for us in our work in the Ten?

R. It's a corrected state, for now that is the Nukva. What we have to do, what we have to correct, what we have to collect in the parts and connect all of the parts that are being corrected into one. There is nothing to correct except for the Malchut Shamayim, the kingdom of heaven. Meaning that Malchut t will be connected to the heaven, Malchut will rise to Bina,

S. This is our common desire?

R. It is our general correction. This is what we need.

S. What does it mean that it goes above Zeir Anpin, this general correction?

R. That it is like a crown on the head of her husband which is a design that she concludes all of the corrections. We will read a lot about it. Everything is around the Nukva, the female. In this world it doesn't seem that the female is more important it seems to be the most important is the work of the day they don't in truth all of the results of the efforts and of the work in our work is accumulated and appears in the Nukva,

4. S. (09:20) Can I ask this way that Israel is in exile until Nukva, this right for this certain state?

R. Yes.

5. S.(09:43) How do we build this Sabbath from each day a new if every week then how do we build it again every time?

R. It's these cycles that we have in the corrections that from Sunday to Friday we have the corrections. Shabbat is the end result and then again, and again, and again in such portions through many such days and nights this is how we correct our will to receive.

6. S. (10:30) In the Zohar Baal HaSulam explains where in this passage that we read here about Zayin, is it the actual Zohar and where is the explanation of Baal HaSulam actually begin in the Zohar?

R. In the letter Zayin entered and it says explanation where it starts with explanation.

S. So the explanation is already Baal HaSulam's explanation?

R. Yes.

S. Here at the bottom from the second to the last paragraph, “During the weekdays, each one must triumph in the battle with the Sitra Achra and the outer ones, so what for us is the outer ones in the Sitra Achra?

R. That we need to cope all the time with the foreign thoughts that awaken within us and we have to connect all of our corrections into a single correction. This is how we gather and gather and gather our correct actions until they overcome and rise above the corruptions.

S. These foreign thoughts are foreign thoughts against correction?

R. Against the correction, practically you can say against the connection. We have to understand that the correction, well it's good to say that but this is something that each one may envision in different forms however against the connection, this is the problem, that it is revealed openly and it stings and it stings our heart and in our eyes and it doesn't let us rest to all of our egoistic desires and thoughts. This is what brings the separation between Israel and the nations of the world. The Difference is only in that. Everything that we do is all in order to reach connection.

Imagine to yourselves how it is today and how it was thousands of years ago that this group that came out of Babylon disconnected from all of Babylon where all the nations of the world were there in that time and this group came out because they didn't want to work on connection. They left everyone and by that the great tear appeared between this group called Yisrael Israel and all of the nations that remained egotistically. Later on they forgot about all of these things, and they no longer even knew why is it that they hate Israel. This is how it is until this very day. Today in this time, it should start to become revealed and also this revelation should cause many changes or even say shocks in the world. It is all ahead of us.

6. S. (14:32) This is the difficulty in attaining connection between us?

R. Ask yourself.

S. I don't even have an answer.

R. You don't even discover what the reason is?

S. Yes, it's hard without grasping where it comes from. Sure there's an ego, but….?

R. What do you mean? Where does it come from? It comes from you.

S. Yes, but it is hard.

R. From your belly, from your heart, that's where it comes from, from you.

S. Yes, yes, it's just like that but why is it? Why is it there?

R. Why is it there? The Creator created it, it says I created the evil inclination. I created for it the Torah as a spice.

S. How do I solve that? How do I unite? How do I do that all the time?

R. You have to actually connect with the friend as much as possible so that you will feel that your heart is drawn to connect with them and with the entire world. That you need to love everyone, not that they will love you, but that you will love everyone. As Rabash writes in his social articles, and that's it. Well, here there's nothing you can do. Here is where all the connections are. It seems to us that it is not so important, that the most important thing for us is to study and reach something but no, this correction of connection in the heart. in the mind, in the emotion, is the most fundamental and strong correction and this is what we need.

7. S. (16:42) The complete nullification of the Klipot, what can do to exist in this complete Sabbath forever and ever?

R. The Sabbath is a result, we don't do it, we reach it. We do the work on the six days of the week. This is why they are called this way in Hebrew, the first day, second day, third day, fourth day, the fifth day and the sixth day. Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and the Sabbath. Sabbath is opposite Malchut ,where all of these qualities that we have corrected during the six work days, during the week, all of these corrected qualities are connected and they bring us their conclusion, the summary on the date of Shabbat. This is why on the day of Shabbat it is forbidden to work. It is a day of rest, as it is written that he rested and we do not work. This is how it is in our world. It is as if we want to make between us the same laws as in these spiritual corrections.

S. For us in Germany, Saturday is not the same day, so how do we start on Friday like in Israel?

R. That doesn't matter, these are just signs in our world, certainly in Germany and in Australia and in the North Pole and South Pole, it doesn't matter. It is all unrelated. All of our signs are geographical signs. Whatever we see and feel in this world have nothing to do with the laws of nature. They are unrelated, if you want to get them together then you will always have problems. There is no law for this. You don't have to keep the Shabbat according to the land of Israel and not according to Japan or wherever the day ends, the fortnight ends. There is no need for that. You simply have to enter the spiritual work as we are talking about it, above time, above place and see how the desires work on you from above so that these desires determine for you. They determine for you the order of the corrections. We will talk more about that.

8. S. (20:25) Why the light of connection and love actually invites rejection, hatred, and repulsion and if hatred isn't awakened and there's just more and more love, can you advance on that path as well?

R. If the light of love would shine on us, we would feel ourselves with great rejection from each other; with a very strong repulsion from each other because it is against our nature. Therefore, bit-by-bit to the extent that we are able to suffer each other, and we can suffer on the extent that we value the friend as a partner for the achievement of the goal, then under these conditions we come closer between us and also to the same extent and only after, we get closer to the Creator. That's it. Meaning, if I would want to measure how close I am to The Creator? Take your friends and measure how close you are to Him, and with the Creator you have the same exact measurement. Later on we will discover that, but it is truly so.

9. S. (22:04) We are talking in the last days about the letters and I would like to ask you because we see a lot of books of Kabbalah and we are talking about the permutations of these letters. I would like to know if it's important or is it just nonsense and not important for our path?

R. I can't speak of all the books of Kabbalah, but we only study from the original, the most original book of a Kabbalah called The book of Zohar; the first book, and all the rest of the books we don't study. We don't study them, because they are not faithful and they cannot impart upon us the same power of connection like The Book of Zohar, so it is sufficient for us what we have; I promise you that if you would delve in it according to the advice of Baal HaSulam you will reach the corrections.

10. S. (23:21) It's clear that Sabbath is a state and not a day of the week, so what does it mean that we are not working on Shabbat?

R. We cannot make corrections on Shabbat, so we don't work. Rather, the correction is that we don't work.

11. S. (23:48) You said that everything is about the deficiency. What kind of connection do we need to build in the ten so that we reach a strong demand?

R. That each one wants to complete the other and everyone together wants to resemble the Creator in the connection between us. This is what we want. And, when we truly get close or at least aiming towards it, then we are already on the right path. Soon we will feel that.

12. S. (24:48) You said that on Shabbat we don't work, what does it mean that we don't connect, do we read books?

R. We don't perform any corrections because the Shabbat corresponds to the end of correction, when we can no longer make any corrections but as it is written, that the righteous sit and enjoy the radiance of the Shechina, The Upper Light. So, this is actually what the Shabbat symbolizes; and we, I’m not talking about how we are, but what is written in the book is that we need to have the feeling that we are in a state that corresponds to Gmar Tikkun, end of correction.

13. S. (25:52) If I understood correctly you said earlier that the light of the Zohar reveals the difference between Israel and the nations of the world, and now we are starting to reveal again this difference, it will be sharper.

R. Who are we? Bnei Baruch? If you mean the state of Israel, the country, it actually wants to show everyone all the time that it is just like everyone.

S. Okay, that's actually my question: How could there be a connection between Israel and the nations of the world if Israel is not even interested in connection?

R. Israel is very interested in connection with everyone, however, the correct connection. Therefore, we have to explain to everyone what the right connection is? because otherwise from the desire to get closer to each other there will be even more wars between everyone. You see, this is all of our work; that if we do not go on the path to the right connection; then with all the good things that we have in the beginning we reach in our connection only wars, killing, destroying and so on.

14. S. (27:44) Concerning this battle during the weekdays and on the Shabbat we don't work, so you already said that, correction is that we don't work. Please can you elaborate on what it means that the correction is that we don't work so what is the work of Shabbat if we don't work?

R. No, we are not speaking about our behavior in this world. Let's speak about what is written in the Zohar, in spiritual forces. Otherwise, we are going to get confused and I will see you in a couple of days on Shabbat where you are sitting and not doing anything, keeping the Shabbat and so on; and you will think that by this you are doing the work. There is work on Shabbat, but it is special work, we will talk about that: Mostly it is about gathering all of the corrections that we did during the six days, that on the sixth day eve, and on the day of Shabbat we rise above all the corrections and reach the day which is all Shabbat, a day of rest. And, there are special connections that we have to do on Shabbat as well, we will learn that. We need to learn that it’s not simple.

15. S. (29:47) I wrote here that Shabbat is that all the qualities connect and bring to the conclusion of all they gathered till Shabbat, so do we have Shabbat in all of our states, did we come to the state of Shabbat already?

R. No, if we didn't perform the corrections during the six days of the week then we had nothing to do on Shabbat.

S. Okay, so Shabbat for us is when we already reached a conclusion and bring a prayer to The Creator and then we actually then wait for the MAD, this what it means Shabbat that we are raising it up to Him and wait?

R. This is nonsense. If you are not in that state, you should not ask such questions.

S. So there is no Shabbat for us you are saying?

R. There is no Shabbat or Sunday or any day. There’s none.

16. S. (30:59) What does it mean that a woman crowns her husband? What does it mean to crown and how can a woman be above her husband?

R. The thing is that a wife, a woman can crown her husband means that she gathers, she concludes all of the works that need to be done by the man; she keeps them and she ties them together. A woman means Home, where a person gathers everything that he worked on during the six days and this is why the wife is called the housekeeper. She symbolizes the entire structure that a person does, she is Malchut, kingship; and in order to correct Malchut a person does all of his work in this world. So it may seem to us in our times that the men are the ones that received the results of their exertion, but actually in truth everything is gathered and revealed at the end in the housekeeper, the woman. This is the result of all of our work. We will talk more about this. It is a very big and long and main topic.

17. S. (33:03) Can you say that throughout the entire week the corrections obligated the person to exert so on Shabbat he can work from his own will?

R. No, no. That is totally incorrect. There are, well, if we are talking about men's spiritual work then it is totally unrelated to the days of the week and to Shabbat or weekdays; but rather this is how we speak that seemingly every day we do a different spiritual work and on Shabbat we then rise above all of these work. But no, put these things aside, don't tie what we are studying in the Wisdom of Kabbalah if the matter is Olam, Shana, Nefesh, world, year, soul. In general don't tie these things together. What you do have to do is keep the connection between us out of what we are studying and do that as much as possible. This Is the only action that we have to carry out.

18. S. (34:34) I heard that you said earlier about this breaking that happened from Babel, Babylon until today that this tear will be revealed soon. The question is how can we influence it so that it will be revealed in a positive way, this breaking?

R. I don't quite know which words of mine you are using?

S. I heard that you said that in Babylon there is a disconnection between Israel and the rest of the nations, there is this tear, and this tear continues until today and that soon it will be revealed, that's what I heard?

R. It is revealed already. If You are a member of the nations of the world there is always some gap between you and them, psychological and in all kinds of different forms; you feel that there is some sort of a mismatch between people, that there is something in this nation, in the Jews, in the people of Israel that does not exist in other nations; and this is what is causing the gap between the nations of the world and the people of Israel. Where does it come from? You can see it from history or geography or whatever is the cause but it is there, there is this distance and there is nothing you can do against it. Only when we will bring the correction then we will feel what is the difference between us and all the nations of the world and what can be done in order to be more and more as one nation as at ‘the end of the days’.

19. S. (36:56) All of our actions we are gathering throughout the week in order to reach a connection so can I say that the Shabbat is when the creator finishes the job for us?

R. It's not on Shabbat, Shabbat is state; it's not a day of the week and it's not that once again we come back to that same mistake, that we are living the days of the week according to what is written about the spiritual world. That is incorrect. So, don't start keeping these days off Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc. all of the weekdays according to spirituality, it will absolutely not add anything and only create confusion.

20. S. (37:55) You explain before that the correction is actually the connection between us and that we constantly have thoughts that are against connection with these foreign thoughts. My question is I see that these foreign thoughts always wake up, I always have thoughts against connection…?

R. This is good, in order for us to correct them.

S. Yes, and my question: What does it mean that I correct them because there are thoughts of distancing myself from the friends and nevertheless we work above it and we connect and I put aside these thoughts and I don't relate to it?

R. Each time that you overcome the disconnection in the form of connection, you are making corrections, another correction, and another correction. So, that is why people who feel how much they have a rejection in them towards others, towards the friends. These people are specifically worthy of corrections, and they just need to understand it and work on it; on connection and closeness between everyone.

S. So if a person has inside of him thoughts of disconnection and separation and all the time he puts them aside, like a dog that I'm going to put him to the side, I'm not going to relate to it.

R. No. There's no such thing as you can't feel your rejection from others. Rather you need to do the opposite; specifically you have to realize that the rejection that you feel towards others is the right foundation that if you correct it, then you'll reach a higher spiritual level.

S. So, the correction is that on the outside I do try to connect with them but the foreign thought remains, or the correction is that at the end I won't have such a foreign thoughts?

R. Yes, that is eventually in the end you won't have foreign thoughts; but for the time being, try to perform corrections on each and every element, each and every detail and do not despair from the fact that each time foreign thoughts come and all kinds of things. Again, one who is greater than his friend, his inclination is greater. This is why as much as you have rejection from friends, it is a sign that you have a great brutal will to receive and by correcting it you can correct and reach a great spiritual level.

21. S. (40:58) You also said before that the measure of our closeness to The Creator is the measure of our closeness to the friends. So there are friends in the ten that I feel close to and there are friends in the ten that I feel far away from and I feel rejection from them?

R. You feel close to the friends that are similar to you. It is according to the law of Nature. That you feel far away from the friends that are actually not so close to you according to character, according to all kinds of things. What to do? Try to get closer specifically to everyone equally as much as possible.

S. So I don't try to work with the friends that I'm rejected from actually?

R. Maybe you should. But pay attention that you try to connect everyone.

S. What is my work with the friend that I feel close to, do I have a certain work towards him also?

R. Of course, to get closer, but pay attention to those that you are far away from.

S. When I feel rejection towards a friend, what is the correction? What is exactly the work, what does it mean to rise above it?

R. Here is the place of correction; that all of the force of rejection you turn it, invert it into a force of attraction.

S. What's my action here, what is my work?

R. To rise from hatred to love.

S. What precisely is this action that rises from hatred to love? Do I imagine it?

R. I don't understand you, you don't know what love and hatred are or what is rejection versus attraction?

S. Yes I do know these forces, but I am asking what is within my power in that state of rejection?

R. Pray, first of all. Ask the Creator; at the moment you bring the Creator into the correction of your relations with the friends immediately you start to see the whole of reality better.

22. S. (44:00) to continue the previous question We hear from you that you can correct it and then we go and look for the tools on how to correct it and we are not aimed towards the Creator to do it, and the correction is actually through prayer to the Creator that He’ll do it?

R. all of our correction is to turn to the Creator that he will do it, like a small child for each and every problem we need to imagine ourselves as small children. What is the correction of a small child, he’s crying, yelling, and demanding, yes? That’s it, so do it, until you are really demanding,

S. Because there’s actually no one else that I can turn to?

R. Great, and besides that you don't have a choice, you have to, you are built in such a way. The Creator wants to see pressure from you towards Him; that You receive Him because He’s doing it to you according to your demand. That you look at Him like someone who owes you something. Yes, He owes you; You built everything, You made me and You have to help me, correct me, and bring me to the correct state, and the correct state is that I can be like You. That is how a small child needs to look at his father.

23. S. (45:55) you said that in the day of Shabbat the friends enjoy the radiance of the Shechina, to enjoy the radiance of the Shechina we also have the radiance we also have to put in efforts, so what is the difference from the work of coming closer verses the work of correction?

R. Closeness and connection are in the same direction. The same direction.

S. So how do we enjoy Shabbat if we don't put in the effort?

R. Shabbat is the outcome of our connection that we attain from the six days of work.

So if we try to connect, connect, and connect, then we reach a state that is called Shabbat. That It is a break, a rest. We don't need to do any kind of effort, we just have to include in ourselves the same state that we attained, this connection; and from the same state of connection and to be in it all day as we say. A day is a state.

S. I don't understand the difference, you are saying become incorporated in that state like a result or some prize that comes at the end. So my effort entering this state, what is the difference then between the correction at entering this state, what does it mean to enter such a state that is also some kind of effort of overcoming?

R. Do what you need. I don't have anything else to say. I think we will only get confused by all the connections that you’re making.

25. S. (48:13) If a friend in the Ten is not married and lives alone, how should we understand his connection with the Nukva, the female?

R. His Nukva is not a woman next to him. You guys see how you understand these things? His Nukva is the group; that he wants to do everything for it, he wants to connect all of the friends and all of those friends for them to be a Kli, a vessel to receive this outcome of his work.

26. S. (49:13) The right connection is that equivalence of form above the entire spectrum of desires presented in the ten as they are?

R. Not form the entire spectrum of desires but yes, connection of the desires according to their intention. The desires can be very different. They could be very different, but their direction; that we connect them together in order for them all to be from all kinds of different directions, they will all connect together towards one goal. This is called the general end of correction, Gmar Tikkun Haklali.

27. S. (50:29) Is the Shabbat the condition we feel at every spiritual degree or is it a condition that we feel at the end of correction?

R. Also on each and every degree there is a state called Shabbat, Sabbath like with us every six days there is a Saturday, Shabbat, and besides that the state that we are going to reach that we are going to attain all of us we are going to reach it together this is called the general end of correction. This is the seventh or is the sixth millennia that we are aiming towards and all of our life and all of our history. Okay

28. S. (51:35) Not too long ago I heard that we have to connect with others, connect to other people, bring them in. What is the difference between bringing other people in or connecting with him?

R. There is a difference and a big difference. What is your goal? That is the main thing. That is in general the main difference.

29. S. 52:07) The Sabbath is a feeling that comes down to us?

R. The Sabbath is a state, the spiritual state of all of creation, it could also be a feeling and a state of a person by himself and that is it.

S. We seemingly get it from above? It is not something that we do or

R. Yes, yes

S Our work in connection should yearn for this feeling?

R. First of all let us reach some kind of connection and then that form of connection will determine what day we are in, what states we are in.

S. In our work, should we be yearning for that state for this feeling?

R. Your goal is to reach a state called Sabbath.

30. S. (53:13) You said now that we need to demand from the Creator like children to hold on to him and demand, demand, demand if we are doing this work each and every day we are holding on all of the time then we reach completely new states that we are not ready for. We cannot be ready for them, so what changes in the new state when we are on fire? What to do now to keep crying out to the Creator? What is the form of the work? Are there some new additions?

R. There is nothing to yell about, there's nothing to yell about to calm down. We need to act like you need to work on connection, unity for all of us, for everything and the aim of the general connection and then everything will be okay. You'll get an answer to all of your questions, and you will not have these kinds of things like I hear now, eruptions or lack of understanding.

31. S (54:40) What is the difference between the state of Sabbath and Lishma? Are they the same?

R. Lishma, is a corrected state. The Sabbath is also a corrected state but Lishma could be really theoretical and Sabbath is that state where we practically attain.

32. S. (55:17) What is the difference between the Nukva and Shechina?

R. What is the difference between Nukva and Shechina? The corrected Nukva is called Shechina.

33. S. (55:52 ) You say that turning hate into love and calling the Creator needs to turn to the Creator but how is it possible to turn hatred into love if we cannot turn to the Creator?

R. If you cannot turn to the Creator then you cannot turn. You can't do anything about it whoever corrects in each and every one of them states to bring closer to the Creator, it is the Creator himself if we cannot turn to him and then it is like a small child that if he does not turn and ask his parents then there is no one to help him. Okay.

34. S. (56:57 ) For the study of the Zohar do we correct our egoistic qualities and reach the Sabbath?

R. Yes.

35. S. (57:13) In item 34 it says remember the day of Shabbat to sanctify it. What is this action?

R. Remember it and sanctify it, we need to raise this rest, this end of correction that we need to reach as the greatest, most holy degree and there is nothing higher above it because we are all connecting together and connecting to the light of Ein Sof.

S. Why is it impossible to make corrections in the state of Shabbat?

R. Because the light that reveals, it is revealed as the light of Gmar Tikkun, the end of correction.

36. S. (58:14) I heard that everything that we do is in order to reach a connection in our mind and heart in a connected spiritual system there are no disputes? intellectual disputes and differences and opinions differences in society and if there are, how do we resolve such differences?

R. We are not solving differences, everything is solved by measuring against the Creator.

37. S. (58:47) Connection between friends must be mutual or could it be that they love me but I don't feel it?

R. Yes, it could be that way.

38. S. (59:00) I heard that if there is an incorrect connection there will be wars instead of connection. What is the correct connection between the friends and what is the correct correction between people or nations?

R. That everyone is concerned and caring for the other.

39. S. (59:23) How many shall we say can we scrutinize? What is the correct connection that we have to reach?

R. I answered it already that each one is carefully caring for the other.

40. S. (59:33) I heard that it is possible to measure our nearness to the Creator according to our nearness to the friend but how do we measure it if we feel more close to one friend than another friend?

R. You don't need to measure this afterwards it will become this general inclusion.

Excerpt from “Letter Zayin” (01:03:45 ) He told her, ‘I will not create the world with you .."

41. R. (01:04:36) It means that still in this vessel there is ego that needs to be corrected.

Continues (01:04:40) “A sharp sword indicates the quality of Malchut.."

42. R. Meaning still on this vessel there's an ego that needs to be corrected.

Continues () “A sharp sword indicates the quality of Kingdom…”

43. R. (01:05:34) Nun It's connected to Bina and there are nine gates in Bina 150 gates. We read that article before.

44. S. (01:05:46) The Creator did not find the ending of Klipot sufficient. What qualities in the letters will make the Creator pleased?

R.I don't know, you might have solved that problem. I thought the opposite, actually that we need to ask this question and which letter is suitable by the end of correction by which qualities in different words, by which qualities are we reaching Gmar Tikkun. Let's continue reading. What will happen? How does the Zohar reveal to us in a way that he goes over all of the letters? Which letter he reaches at the end and what to say about it is that the end of correction can happen only by this force, that is in this letter, in this symbol and in its internality. we will see.

Reading 35 (01:07:04) The letter Vav entered…

45. R. (01:18:18) Meaning it is not a Gar it is in VAK a little bit less yes

Continues (01:08:25:) “He told Vav that it is enough…”

46. R. (01:09:08) Alright we do not really know what it is speaking about inside here how they keep this guard from pouring out into the world so they will not enter the Klipot into the shells, but that is how he says. All right we will scrutinize that later.

Reading 36 (01:09:33) The letters Dalet and the letter Gimel entered..

47. R. (01:12:24) That is how we reach the letter Bet

48. S. (01:12:30) I try to feel every friend in my Heart during the reading of the Zohar together, however I also feel the distance between myself and my friends and this distance keeps getting greater, keeps growing, is that the effect of studying the Zohar forcing us to grow stronger in our connection with the friends?

R. We will speak about this later. Now in the meantime I cannot say exactly clearly.

49. S. (01:13:18) Can we use the inverse relation of lights and vessels when we read the Zohar?

R. What do you mean inverse relation?

S. For example if the word begins with the letter Shin and the letter Aleph or if the letter is at the end of the word?

R. No, no, no, absolutely not. We are just learning in order to draw upon ourselves greater lights from above. We are learning not to make some kind of action with the letters. The light will be drawn upon us from above and will come down below. This is how we will be corrected but not that we, by this are manipulating something with some sort of spiritual manipulation now.

50. S. (01:14:41) Every letter enters before the Creator and thinks that it is worthy and a Creator shows it that it is actually chose her negative qualities, why is it so of are the letters not aware or their negative qualities or is this how we should come to the Creator as if she is already worthy.

R. They saw good things within themselves, they did not see the bad things.

S. They do not know that they have in them the negative qualities also?

R. No, no, it is not exactly so prominent because they saw all the good things.

51. S. (01:15: 50) Good morning, in our work there is always play between if I'm not for myself and he was for me and there is no none else besides him now we are also supposed to discover that.. if there is naught else besides me there is now also size him my question is how do we avoid a stage where we throw the responsibility on the Creator and I save myself any work like a child who makes a mess does a doesn't matter mom will take care of it she will fix it that is her role she educated me to be this way?

R. I do not know what to do but the whole correction is a pain man and it doesn't matter if Mother educated or someone else what I have received in me all comes from the Creator and he was before me these qualities and invites me to correct them.

52. S. () What is the giving

R. That each one wants to give the other whatever they can.

53. S. () A friend in a ten has discovered hatred for a long… In the ten is unable to help her and there's a question or else the friend is presenting a question it is either of me or another friend in the ten how does.. make a decision to remove one of the other.

R. You do not need to take anyone out everyone together has to work and have it in good fashion.

S. And if..

R. And if not then throw them both out of BB all together

54. S. () The question I want to ask us about the letter Vav why we live in a world that we have to work in constantly why does the letter vav not fit in the work?

R. He writes there he writes she doesn't have sufficient Force to bring the vessels to the final correction.

55. S. () They say that the letter Vav and Hey and Gimel need help against the shells but enough to be ruined by the shells ruled by the shells what does it mean not to be ruled by the shells.

R. In order to receive what is the person's defense against his thoughts that will suddenly awakened in order to receive. All right?

S. But the letters are different

R. That is right, each one has his own, yes. That is why this is a long article that goes into each and every letter.

56. S. () What is the quality of poverty and mercy?

R. Poverty is that there is no strength to build the screen and still one must exist with something so he asks for charity.

57. S. () You answered Shelly that every letter reveals its negative properties it reveals that against the light opposite of the light is it the same with the person who were building against the ten?

R. Yes.

58. S. () Why does the other side always connect to the letter Dalet according to what is written?

R. Not all the time and not just the letter Dalet but he explains there. He explains.

Reading 37 “Letter Bet” (01:22:36)

59. R. (01:23:17) Meaning that only with the blessing of the Creator the blessing of the upper one the creation can begin so that it will achieve its correction, that’s what we see, let's continue.

Continues (01:23:28) “Commentary the letter Bet is Hochma…”

60. S. (01:28:54) Can there be a state of Shabbat in the ten despite us not feeling the complete connection?

R. In every ten, in every ten there can be a spiritual state if they achieve it and then among these states there is a state called Shabbat yes, of course. If you have such a connection that allows you to build a structure of a ten, a Partzuf, that will be somewhat similar to spirituality then you can also achieve the state called Shabbat.

61. S. (01:29:50) He writes about the Bet, the Bet is Hochma, and then he says that Hochma is everywhere even until Assiya. How can it be that Hochma reaches everywhere if the light of Hochma is restricted?

R. We are now studying the Shabbat go ahead..

S. In the letter Bet we studied that it is everywhere until the end of Assiya.

R. Yes. The light of Hochma exists everywhere it just depends on the light of Hassidim to the extent in which it can reveal the light of Hochma.

S. So even in the world of Assiya there is Hochma?

R. The light of Hochma exists in all of reality, in all of reality. The light of Hochma is actually the Creator Himself but the extent to which He is revealed or not that was given to the decision of the lower ones.

62. S. (01:31:09) What is the quality of blessing? Nothing rises in the feeling of this word.

R. Blessing is, how to say it, the good attitude of the Creator towards man.

S. There's in the text here that the Creator is the blessed below in above, so does it mean that it’s not from the Creator it’s also the opposite way?

R. Many times we call the Creator blessed, yes.

63. S. (01:32:02) The letter Bet that we speak of it’s not in the world of Hesed, that it says that the world has to be built?

R. No, the world in the Hesed will be built is already where there’s a concealment, Hassadim there is actually concealing.

S. So I am trying to understand, so what is that quality that is revealed into the world?

R. We still have the letter Aleph that remained, and the letter Bet is blessing.

S. So what is that quality, what is the quality of blessing?

R. That the Creator blesses that is above all the other forces

S. We always say that there is Hassadim in Hochma so what is the blessing?

R. The blessing is a state.

S. Why in this world there is no grasp on the Klipot?

R. Because it comes from the Creator.

S. … from the Creator.

R. No you can’t say that, that’s not an excuse.

S. Can you explain please?

R. The blessing is a force that comes from the Creator that He blesses and against that there's nothing to the Klipa.

S. I still don't understand. Even though the other letters that he spoke with the Klipa can grasp them but they also come from the Creator.

R. No because the other gods will not bear fruit. The blessing is necessary for something to grow.

S. The difference is in the feeling, the sensation, of the creature, that it comes from different systems and here and there it comes directly from the Creator?

R. Now you are already involving the lower one here.

S. What is the difference?

R. No. Also that it comes from the Creator and that it comes to the created being we can say without them knowing of the created being, without the Creator being knowing, but he writes because he didn't determine the letter the light of the blessing for the wholeness of the world but for a good beginning, sufficient to bring the world to the complete wholeness, because a light of Hassadim is VAK without a Rosh, and it’s still insufficient to give birth to souls and to multiply. Meaning the power of the blessing, it doesn't end everything, but it opens up it starts the system of connection and opens up the path for the final correction.

S. What is this world that is created? What is that beginning?

R. I do not understand. Malchut that needs to receive corrections, right, she now receives these corrections as the upper light that influences her, and shapes are in such a way that she can begin to connect with the upper light.

S. When he speaks about creation, he speaks about the original desire creation of the desire to receive?

R. Yes, yes. The creation is the will to receive, existence from absence.

S. And he is created in the blessing?

R. Think all right. We know you like to study, so think.

64. S. (01:36:33) Hamnuna Saba, what is this role in the ten? Is it when every friend can bring the ten closer to the Creator somehow?

R. It’s a special force that exists in the ten, but we have to approach it to come closer to it and discover it.

65. S. (01:37:02) I heard you saying that we need to receive a blessing from the Creator. How do we receive a blessing from the Creator?

R. When there is strength in the lower one that allows them to come closer to the upper one, the upper one attracts him, gives him all kinds of powers, and thus he comes closer to the upper one.

S. We need to awaken it, the blessing that the upper gives us?

R. Yes, yes. The more we bless the Creator the more we need His blessing.

S. What do we bless Him with? How do we bless Him?

R. For starting creation and completing creation. There's no other force in the world that knows how to act that way.

S. Let’s say in the ten how do we do it? How do we prepare ourselves for the blessing of the upper?

R. We prepare ourselves for the blessing by connecting because by that we get closer and closer in our form to the Creator.

66. S. (01:38:33) What does it mean that he cannot birth Partzuf until it recognizes GAR?

R. When he has all the strength and all of the forces then he can give birth to a Partzuf, Gadlut. He’ll be in a state of adulthood otherwise he can’t give birth meaning to make a coupling of striking on the vessels of receiving in order to bestow, he can't do that.

67. S. (01:39:15) Why are such letters with a stronger impression influence you stronger, or is that not a correct feeling? This question bothers me.

R. The fact that this question really bothers you is not that important. What's the matter is that the letters are shapes through which the light has to come and influence us so that we get closer to the Creator and therefore we get closer to the letters and awaken their action upon us. The greatest action as we just saw now is coming from what letter? What did we just read?

S. Bet I think we read.

R. Bet correct because it’s the blessing.

S. A blessing yes but others too in Peh and Tzadik.

R. Don’t go into these details, you do not need that. Don't erupt.

68. S. (01:40:55) Is it correct to say that my work is to want, to want the He corrects because many times in the state of distance and disconnection there’s no desire to correct, so do I first have to want and feel that I can't and then turn to Him and get the blessing, is it correct?

R. I'm not answering you; I'm not answering, you need to find the correct answer.

69. S. (01:41:33) The world was created with the letter Bet. Does it mean that we always have to do whatever we can, whatever is up to us, it depends on us, and then we wait for Him and maybe if we don't reveal Him then it still goes to the sandbox?

R. Yes, well said.

70. S. (01:42:04) What does it mean that the letter Bet says that the blessing is equal from below and up?

R. Because there are no barriers on the light of blessing, no degrees, because this blessing comes from the Creator and He fills all of reality and therefore the blessing dwells in all the degrees.

S. So in our world there is no end of blessing?

R. Yes.

71. S. (01:42:46) You said that the work in the connection with the friend should be equal balanced but what is my work with those friends who are close and qualities from me?

R. To get even closer and bring everyone closer to it.

S. When you come closer you reveal the ego, at the end it is the work in coming closer and there are two states, first when through the prayer I asked if I'm closer to a friend and I am completely consumed, and the other state is that it remains in the ego and this is a state that I’m very afraid of, and it burns and gives me fear to be in reception or hatred towards a friend. What is the correct form to come closer to the Creator where the ego burns somewhere below and I rise above or to … in prayer?

R. I think it’s something that you have to feel in the heart. When we begin to feel that we are in one heart this is the true corrected form of the corrected ego.

72. S. (01:44:24) If Hochma is the Creator can we say the creature is Hassadim? If so can it be said that only if there is a creature there is a Creator?

R. The Creator is the light of Hochma that influences everything, and the Creator has to correct it with the light of Hassadim so as to receive the light of Hochma and that is how we will get closer to the Creator. So what we lack is only the quality of bestowal that it will fulfill us. Understood?

73. S. (01:45:24) Is it possible to advance in the quality of the letter Bet in the line of blessing?

R. Of course.

Reading item #38 (01:45:50) “The letter Aleph stood and did not enter..”

74. R. (01:48:58) That the end of correction only comes from above from the Creator.

Continue Reading item #38 01:49:01) “And what was said—that the letter Aleph stood and did not enter…”

75. S. (01:55:51) First of all thank you and all the entire team that wrote this book it's just It’s amazing it plays on your heart at the time of the reading you feel the cleansing of the book of the Zohar and during the questions you as if you are throwing to a different place, how do you work between these two stages?

R. Try I don't know what to tell you, you have to find your style your personal style to the book.

76. S. (01:56:30) You said that Aleph is the head of all the letters and the actions of the human beings where does this force come to Aleph from?

R. He explains it, I will tell you simply that the Yud of the Aleph is the force that is above the Parsa and the Parsa is sideways and then the Dalet under the Parsa, the form of Dalet under the Parsa closes everything so it comes out that the letter Aleph determines the correction of the Parsa the Galgalta de Eynaim above the Parsa AHP under the Parsa thus it includes within her all the correction of the breakage.

S. I wanted to read something in addition to what you just said which is not so clear and that she's not better than them and It says that I saw that I'm not better than them, is that the annulment of the letter Aleph towards the others?

R. We'll see I don't want to say anything out of my self the people who can soak the text let them enjoy it.

77. S. (01:58:26) Why in this part there's so much attention given to the relationship between the ten meaning that Aleph compares herself to the other letters and then Bet, what is the hidden meaning here?

R. Don't look for a hidden meaning you can just read it and count that as simple reading without understanding will also be influential.

78. S. (01:59:05) Why do not we feel that we raise MAN?

R. Because we're not raising a MAN.

S. Why?

R. We are not raising Man, you don’t feel the upper you don't feel the will of the upper and you don’t feel that you can somehow influence the desire of the upper, so how cannot be that you are raising MAN?

S. So what are all the prayers we raised to the Creator?

R. I do not know what prayer that you're talking about?

S. To connect to feel each other?

R. If there's such a strong and real desire you are raising it and gradually you will come to a feeling, yes all in all it would all come together and you will feel.

S. So only if there is a true desire then we will feel it?

R. Yes of course

78. S. (02:00:25) Is it possible to make a conclusion from the text that the quality of the letter Aleph is the angel of death turns to the holy angel?

R. We are going still read and we will see it.

79. S. (02:00:54) When the Creator sends the letters back to their place even though each one has its own unique quality by this he allows them to see that only in the connection between them they can be worthy?

R. Yes, that too.

80. S. (02:01:21) If our corporeal perception is not eligible to understand the letters with their spiritual meaning, how are we going to be understand what the book of Zohar means?

R. We cannot understand we can feel to the degree of the equivalence of form of our vessels with the upper vessels and then to that degree we will begin to feel and out of the feeling we begin to understand, this is how it works.

81. S. (02:02:24) I understand that the letters are qualities in me and forces are working in me, Is it correct to understand that Aleph as a state where I do not want and I do not ask for myself anything and I don't think I deserve it?

R. Lady, lady, I do not want to think about your imagination, your Illusions, we are reading the book and we are going according to the book, that is it. You are going to some calculations and imagination. I don't want to hear your question.

82. S. (02:03:07) Everything happens by the awakening from above the question is how can the ten together convince or caused the awakening from above?

R. The 10 together can do anything there is nothing for the Creator more important than the ten. if the ten connects and turns to the Creator demands cries screams yells pulls him he cannot stand against it, it is like a little child is the head of the household a baby is the head of the family he can demand anything from the parents, and they cannot stand against him.

S. Can we try this in the blessing?

R. Sure of course you can in the blessing is even better.

S. When they are friends who still do not want to do it, how do I motivate them to do it?

R. Try to convince them. Try to convince them.

S. There are always such complaints that it's repelling that it's too much for us.

R. We need to advance with accordance to what is opening before us and everything else will arrange itself.

83. S. (02:05:20) It turns out that the ten of Rabbi Shimon wrote to us all the feelings that we have to go through in the ten?

R. Of course it was a ten.

Reading #39 (02:05:51) “The Creator made superior great letters…”

84. R. (02:08:53) And in this way there is a connection between them. and then this will finish the article of the letters, we will repeat it the in the more deeper and the more emotional way and we will be able to enjoy it.

85. S. (02:09:13) Can you explain the letter the sentence that the Creator made them straight and they made many calculations? What are the many calculations?

R. We ask for many calculations to understand exactly what they are doing and this cannot be done according to the brain the mind of the lower rather all of this is according to the feeling the sensation, do you understand the Professor? All of this is according to the feeling and the feeling the sensation doesn’t come from the mind doesn’t come from the brain but from the heart.

S. But the Creator created us this way without calculation and so on?

R. This you raise to him and you make your calculation with him. But we will understand it we will feel we will understand everyone has a chance even brainiacs like you.

S. We say that we need to scrutinize, Right?

R. Scrutinize in the heart, try to do.

S. What is the scrutiny in the mind opposite the heart?

R. This is already a study.

86. S. (02:10:55) Let's say the summary of those studying the letters you said we are studying the letters for a few days now and what do we need to come to now you said we will study it more emotionally, but what do we need to get from studying the letters it says that we need to write them on our hearts, can you open this up? what does it mean to write the letters to carve them on our hearts?

R. To write not to open.

S. Right to write them so what is this we talked about the force of the letters?

R. You said that there's a little explain how each and every letter is composed a letter is a sign how you write it how the forms connect together what they signify the form of the letter at the end of the day what happens to us as we connect between us each and every one who expresses the letters of his heart, so what do we get? what picture?

S. I need to come to feeling some feeling of these letters?

R. In these letters there is a corrected desire and intention in order to bestow and within it there is an upper light.

S. But how do I bring this feeling closer to my heart? How do I bring it closer?

R. Through coming closer to the Friends.

S. So what do I need to do exactly?

R. You have to love them.

S. Love them you thought me that I have to achieve hate and then love, just to love them, what?

R. Yes, yes onward towards love and if you are going through states of hatred also move forward.

S. So you have to go through this phase of hating and then loving it's a process?

R. Yes that's a process.

S. Wait so then I can discover the letters on my heart as a result of that?

R. Yes.

87. S. (02:13:52) You corrected the last sentence maybe the one before needs to be fixed as well?

R. What did I fix?

S. You said that the last Bet is connected to the first lower Aleph and then but…?

R. No, no, I don't know I don't have to text in front of me I already move to a different page and my computer say I cannot say but I did not correct anything I didn't say you have to correct.

88. S. (02:14:44) What does it mean to be here without a specific question and just to listen and to put our heart into the text?

R. I did not mean that this is how we study the text of the wisdom of Kabbalah. But we have to aim that the inner force embedded in me text will influence the hearts of each and every one and help us to come closer in the heart because only the heart the Creator demands of us for us to connect in the hearts between us.

89. S. (02:15:46) In order to reach the state of the letter Aleph do we need to go through all the states of all the other letters in the ten from below upwards?

R. No, we can go through the letters in such an order that they arise in our heart and in our mind and we will try to feel them and understand them gradual.

90. S. (02:16:42) It's said beautifully about Hesed and Hochma and the letter Bet that she is a Bracha(blessing) when the person blesses the Creator he feels the blessing from the Creator and then there's love between the Creator and the Creator beings?

R. Yes, try to feel it, try, and try to feel all of these letters in the heart and then only in such a way it will be clear what it speaks of. This is very important, we want to feel these letters this is why it is written, write on the lining of your heart.

91. S. (02:17:49) It says in the text that everything indicates raising MAN by the good deeds, what does it mean and then it is explained that each Mochin de GAR and all of that depends on the letter Aleph, does it mean that when we do as much as we can to connect that raises MAN?

R. Of course.

S. If we do that in practice how does the quality of Aleph help here?

R. Aleph means the uplifting the raising of the Creator that we are lifting the Creator up because Aleph is the champion of the world that the creator is the largest biggest in our eyes and from him we'll begin all of the corrections.

92. S. (02:19:20) About the letters how to develop the emotions you are talking about?

R. How to develop the sensation the feeling in regard to the letters it will come with time. I cannot suggest or say anything people who enter this read about this then more and more they feel what feelings are in the letters. It’s like musicians looking at the form of the notes reading some document that is written in their language in their signs they feel the emotion they can sing the music although they do not have anything to play in but they themselves can sing and the same as here we gradually began to play inside of us the letters the words we begin to see that not that we have a text in front of us but a composition that the Creator plays music on this instrument on the Ten Sefirot. You will see how we will arrive at all of these things together all of us will play this upper music upper Niggun.

93. S. (02:22:09) Can we say that the letter Aleph symbolize that we need to reach the correction of the world through annulment before the Creator?

R. This is all the books speak about it.
