1.Rav’s Introduction:

We learned with you that the Sukkot is the beginning of the building of the vessel of bestowal. The Creator created in the will to receive, He arranged the entire will to receive in bestowal and in this way, the will to receive existed in the force of the Creator from above. This structure, it's called the Partzuf of Adam HaRishon or the soul of Adam HaRishon. In order to later give Adam the ability to grow up, the ability to become independent and know his place in the system, the Creator shattered this vessel, this soul which is called the sin of the tree of knowledge of Adam Ha Rishon. When the will to receive appeared in an excessive way in order to receive and then in this way we came into existence and we compare it to a puzzle. We’re initially like a picture and then you break it so kids can play with this picture and then put it back together. I remember my daughters, they were young, they had these puzzles that had 3,000 or 4,000 pieces and they would sit on the floor and assemble it and it was very interesting for them. I think it's a good example for what we're doing today. The Creator deliberately caused the sin of the tree of knowledge, the revelation of the snake, our will to receive, in this horrific way and now over a period of 6000 years, which means we're doing it according to the correction of Chesed Gevurah Tiferet Netzach Hod Yesod Malchut, we need to arrange all those qualities in a Malchut. We are now entering with you at the end of this time. Consequently, the symbol of the building of the Sukkah, I would say our Sukkah is highly symbolic because for the first time we are in practice in the last generation, in the final correction, the beginning of the final correction, as Baal HaSulam explains to us. Hence, we need to understand what's going on here. The beginning of nearing of all of these parts of the puzzle which is each and every one of us coming closer to one another until we make of it the shape of man, Adam, the desire that will unify and resemble the Creator where each and every one of us has a small piece of that puzzle. So we begin by assembling ourselves into tens and from tens to hundreds and thousands, just like the Torah explains to us, just as Yitro explained to Moshe. Similarly, we'll have to build from ourselves the shape of Adam who resembles the Creator and the work of constructing the shape starts with the lighter parts in our soul, in our desires which is the building of the Sukkah. The matter that we need to distinguish: what is the waste and what is nourishment or food. Food is that which we understand instinctively as good to our will to receive and the waste is that which we naturally reject. By connecting we wish to scrutinize what is the waste according to our connection and raise specifically that waste above our heads, raise it in importance, all the thoughts and desires that cause us to reject one another and don't let us connect. This connection, we have to create between us, between all the humans, to bring ourselves to the image of one man, one Adam. This is the correction of humanity. This is the correction that we need to organize specifically now, specifically in the days of the coronavirus and all the actions that will be revealed from above, what the Creator is giving is an opportunity and showing us where we can act, where we can begin to put together, put back together this puzzle of ours. This way we will advance. There's a lot of material. Come to think of it, the entire wisdom of Kabbalah deals with a practical implementation of the purpose of the plan of creation, correct creation - the first stages of the correction. We discussed it during the Selichot, the asking of forgiveness, of Yom Kippur, the preparation for Rosh Hashanah. First Rosh Hashanah then Yom Kippur the day of atonement and then tonight we're entering into this festivity called Sukkot. It symbolizes the corrections we have to perform inside of us in our desire. All of the correction is in our desire. The Creator didn't create anything except the desire and inside the desire we see the world as if existing in reality and us in it, but all of it, all of it appears to us in our desire only. We have to correct our desire until we see ourselves as one man, the desire that resembles the Creator is called Adam and in it we will see the Creator who appears there, enriches and embraces with us, adhesion. It all starts with a Sukkah where we first construct the connection between us and the light of Chassidim - meaning not exactly in connection but first by coming closer to one another. The pandemic that is showing itself now is demonstrating to us exactly how unworthy we are coming closer to one another and if we come closer to one another with our egoistic desire we cause each other diseases, bad things. It's like a living example that's passing over us, we'll try from corporeality and from what we're learning in spirituality to organize all those things in such a way. First us and later all of humanity will understand what is the direction of our development, what do we have to do with ourselves to our world, where certainly all those forces, all the conditions that now appear in the world are here only in order to bring us closer, to push us, help us rise to the first spiritual degree. We will move forward in that. That's what I wanted to say. We're entering this festivity, this holiday it's a happy holiday because we have to reveal in it our ability to unite and to build from the connection between us of vessel called a Sukkah. So the form of the relationship between us, the connection that we are now starting to build symbolizes the Sukkah for us. So we will learn about what kind of qualities have to appear between us, how to connect between us, how to come closer to one another not physically. Specifically physically we don't need to. The example for that is the restrictions in the distance between us. We need to understand that our work is internal work, how I'm trying to be with the friends together in the same soul, the same desire, the same intention and all of it to come to one form where the one Creator clothes in it, one receives one, so let's see. If you wish to ask anything and there's no problem. We need to scrutinize these things and we have a lot of time ahead of us, many days. We'll try not only to learn these things but also to realize and Implement them. Good luck Bnei Baruch.

2.S. (12:43) If on one hand we're not worthy of coming close to one another as Bnei Baruch...?

R. Not worthy?

S. Yes.

R. Physically? It's good, it's a direction from above. I see it as direction from above. We don't need to specifically sit together. Rather we should yearn to connect internally in the heart and desires and not physically in the bodies. What do I get out of sitting together with someone, physically close? We don't think that this necessarily brings an internal soulful closeness. We want to come close to one another in our souls, so I see in the coronavirus a beautiful work on his part. He is not letting us come close together just as your an egoist, each one of you who is immersed in ego, very well, remain in your ego, but try to come closer internally in the hearts to be in one heart and that's what we'll need to do and we'll try to do. That's why I'm very happy that we have such a thing where we don't have to be together to sit in a group like in a bar or a wedding or something. Each one can sit in his corner but feel that he must be internally soulful with the others and not that we are yearning to sit together in one the Sukkah, and one place, and one space. That's not the question. We're not going to take those spiritual corrections from our inner correction, from our internet connection to a physical gathering where nobody can make any corrections in.

S. So what's the difference between the message of the pandemic to Bnei Baruch and the message the pandemic brings to the world? Is there a difference?

R. There is a difference, we understand that this pandemic is helping us to connect to be in the correct internal connection.

S. So this is helpful for us?

R. It's always helpful. Everything that appears from above, we need to see help. We always promote, raise in sanctity and lower - that's how we need to see everything that's revealed to us and everything with this pandemic that comes to us, it's all corrections. Sometimes they don't come in a good pleasant comfortable way, but in a harsh way. Not in the path of Achishena, hastening but in Beito, the path of in due time. But always in one of those paths or a combination of the two called Derek Eretz, the ways of the land we advanced towards the goal. So I try to see in all the signs of that pandemic, help, leverage, bringing us closer to correction.

S. It's the same attitude towards the world meaning it's helpful for them as well?

R. Similar to attitude towards the world although it's desirable with the world if we could accept those things internally, spiritually but I guess we can't do it yet and our ego hasn't risen to a spiritual degree. We receive the revelation of the incorrect vessels in a corporeal form. That happened to us also during the Holocaust and during the pandemic in each and every historic event we suffer. It's all because we don't advance in the right time, in the right place.

S. So we have the preparations for the inner connection, to compensate for the physical distance so the world, what preparations do they have in order to make this process of coming together?

R. First of all it will nevertheless work on them, they'll advance and they'll understand eventually that they must advance internally. Be more connected emotionally as they come closer internally. The other thing is that we need to try and explain to them, explain to them through our dissemination, and number three, we maintain a heartfelt connection between us that will influence them. This is the most important thing really. From our internal nearing, they will begin to feel the form they have to acquire and that form is a more internal form. Hence, we have to see everything that's going on in the world and will transpire in the world, we will see more misunderstandings, conflicts, problems as we have now between our Minyan, Azerbaijan for example and other such dysfunctional problems between the nations and problems. It's all a result of our negligence on the pace of the correction. We need to feel responsible for all of those things. They don't appear in a good, beautiful way. They don't bring people and nations together, when they appear in such a way, when they begin to kill one another. This is truly a result of our negligence. We did not correct ourselves and we allow the evil inclination to work more than the good inclination, okay?

3.S. (21:38) Regarding our negligence, what needs to happen everyday in terms of our messaging and our connections?

R. On a daily level you need to feel inside, really inside, that I am responsible for every bad thing that is happening in the world, just like that. And to try in the connection between us, the correct connection between us, the global worldwide Bnei Baruch to feel that if we connect correctly between us internally, we will radiate to the world as spiritual power and there will be no eruptions of the force of hate anywhere in the world between people. We are responsible for it. As Baal HaSulam writes, the role of Israel to pass the light to the world and if we do it, the whole world will calm down so all the signs we see around us to get today, the pandemic and all the other things we can stop these things, and do it in such a way that they will not come to us in a negative form, but rather we will reveal them with spiritual forces and will be able to work there. That will advance our connection between us and we'll just move forward beautifully.

S. This pain that leads to the connection between us: is what we disseminate, or do we need further explanations?

R. We need to explain it between us as I'm trying to do it. You need to continue and talk about it and workshops between you - how much we need to understand the signs of the pandemic and what we have to do. What kind of Sukkah, what kind of a thatched roof, schach, it's all in the connection between us. What kind of a connection we have to form so that the whole world will begin to feel the good force that is operating in it, otherwise with every passing day the world will feel more the evil forces.

S. That depends on the kind of connection that we generate between us?

R. Only on that. We need to understand that the world is arranging itself according to the system of the last generation and we're becoming the Rosh, a head and all the people in the world are becoming the Guf, the body of the Partzuf of the soul, that needs to be corrected during this time of Moshiach, the time of correction and it's up to us to do it. We need to feel ourselves in a race. I'm trying to convey these things to you and please take it seriously. We are receiving very special treatment from above. We're still unaware of it like kids, like teenagers, let's be a bit more serious and understand the essence of creation, the purpose of creation and we will advance.

S. What is our negligence about because it seems that we're doing everything needed in the tens and making efforts?

R. It's not negligence. These things also that they have to reveal themselves but the fact that they are revealed in a negative way, we need to accept these things in such a way where on the one hand, we are grateful for what is revealed to us in our work, all the flaws in our work, the ugly connection between everyone in humanity and also between us. On the other hand we have to be grateful to him for pushing us towards the corrections and showing us how we can bring about the correction of the world. Nevertheless although it's revealed in this way, nevertheless we need to see how we can improve ourselves so each and every stage will be revealed only in a good way, in a good way as Kabbalists write, it needs to be like a tiny sting. The revelation of evil has to be something that stings, this new revelation of evil, and I say that's it - good: I'm now taking care of it. I'm going to mitigate it and move forward. This is the most correct thing to happen. It’s enough for me to have a tiny revelation of the evil - it could be a huge evil - but for me it could appear as a tiny sting and I right away continue to work with it and correct it. So we need to be more and more sensitive to what's going on between us and with the world and to see how between us, between the tens, how we can disseminate this beautiful feeling between the tens. We all correct it, we are all there because it's a massive force. If we begin to connect between us we will have the power to connect all of humanity, all of it. That's how it's organized: if we are the head and they are the body there's no doubt that we can do it.

4.S. (28:36) If everything depends on us and we feel it more and more, yesterday the friends talked about how even wars depend on our connection, so you see that when friends met physically without masks, immediately not in a week or two, but immediately there's a jump in the numbers of people infected with coronavirus in their countries. Because it is so, should we announce some kind of spiritual recruitment or mustering of forces. I talked in my family and I told them, you think I went to war, I'm out fighting a war, not with a gun but over dissemination to tell everyone of this. Can we speak that way?

R. There is not something, it's not like some special thing is revealed. We will exist in such states until the end of correction and I will tell you even more, these states will grow stronger, more and more and their relationships between nations and between people will become worse. But together with that we will receive the forces and the intellect to connect them so everything will come to correction. As we near the end of correction the minus and the plus are revealed in a terrible way, massively facing one another so we should be ready for evil to show itself more and more. But we need to see nevertheless how thanks to our work in connection and dissemination, we will make sure the corrections take place spiritually and not corporeally.

5.S. (31:18) A few minutes ago you said, or so I heard that between the tens we should disseminate that feeling - so what feelings do we have to convey? We have to meet with other tens, so what exactly do we need to have passed between us?

R. The connections inside the tens should be tighter and tightened regularly. We have to think how more and more we can move closer towards the goal in our mutual thought to be together, in the same action of connection between us and aimed at the Creator. That should be a constant thing. Just as I said there should be a place in my head that makes me think about it all the time. Later, as you're doing it, we need to connect with other tens. In all kinds of states. Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, Sunday, such states where it's worthwhile for us to invest more energy in the connection between us, between the tens. By that, we will assist the spreading of the upper light through us, although we don't quite feel how we influence one another but it passes through us. We will create a nice influence on the world. Also connect more between the tens and strengthen the connection between the tens. Try to be above languages if you can. Do have a global meal between you and all of Bnei Baruch, such meetings, such assemblies, it's very important.

6.S. (34:03) It seems that the more we advance and connect internally together between us, we don't come to see any balance happening in the world.

R. Because you are understanding more and more the meaning of connection, a person can have a tendency toward one another and then you will see in the world that people become worse off. I don't think they're becoming worse off, we see these things because we are improving but nevertheless we have to do this work. The world is deteriorating for now and at some point I hope we're going to stop this trajectory.

S. So what should we aspire to in terms of our effect on the world?

R. By connecting between us, from the connection between us, where we try to influence the world, first of all through our desires and our thoughts and everything will be clarified in the thought. First of all, that, and later, through technical dissemination - all the different forms by which we can come out to the world.

S.Yes but I'm asking about, to what place do we want to lead the world through our work? If we work and ultimately I look at the world and I see it only becoming worse every day, then where can I see that by our work we are affecting the world correctly?

R. We continue to bestow, to influence the world state and the method of correction in some form. Once the world reaches a recognition of evil, they will begin to hear. Let them recognize the evil that they are in, the evil is in them and not in the other and it requires time. How much time did it take us? As much as we can influence them, radiate to them our feelings and our knowledge, they will come. You will see this. There's no other choice. This is the law of nature.

S. How to properly relate to all the changes we see happening in the world? To see it as dependent on the ten or disconnected?

R. No, not dependent on it and not connected to it, don't start to work on it, those are external signs to us, we need to carry on with our work and that's it. If the world looks worse today than yesterday, then it's true, it just means that we have to increase the connection between us and dissemination to the world. That's it, don't make any changes in us. The same except more intensely, okay?

7.S. (38:07) When I discover that I am disregarding the connection and disregarding the friends, I find that I have no pain, no concern for it, so I don't understand how can I suddenly start caring for it, start caring about it?

R. Look at others, how they are drawn toward one another, they help one another, they want to connect: to come closer to one another. You don't. Don't you envy them? Don't you find yourself asking why don't I have that? Look at others. You are indeed a bit more different than the others. You're too relaxed. You do everything through the intellect and not through the heart. The correction is the correction of the heart, so what will be of me? Ask yourself.

8.S. (39:25) The awakening, if we connect with intensity, whether we do or don't is not the question but to want to connect together and apply forces to unite. Would humanity awaken the same way that we did with this desire of asking the question what is the meaning of life? Or if we don't, which way would they awaken?

R. The answer is simple, I don't know. In truth I don't want to know. I only want to know how I should work in the correct way? According to my intellect, for me to decide, how do I need to come closer to the other, or move apart according to what I'm seeing in the world, this is nonsense. I need to do everything that's written in the books of the Kabbalists and that's it. I can't do something based on what I see, no. We should pick into the world and into us a little less and just work on reaching connection. Do everything in your power to reach connection. Don't start to work with it as if you already understand about these mechanics, it's not good, it will confuse you.

9.S. (41:28) You say that this year the world is in a special situation and we have responsibilities to the world. I feel the Sukkot this holiday is also very special with respect to the connection between us. I never felt a connection with the friends. It's becoming so apparent in a very prominent powerful way, so how do you see our connection now in terms of the opportunity we have now to develop ?

R. Of course we've entered the last generation meaning the last degree of the last phase of the correction. We are at the doorway at that stage, but the end is the end of correction and how much time, and how many states will pass over us: we can’t calculate that. But the fact that we enter the final stage, the final correction, we have to come out of it with a complete correction, this is true. This is correct. Baal HaSulam writes about it, and Rabash talked about it many times as though it is the near future. But it's not the future anymore, it's reality. We need to see these states just like that as we were talking about it. Only the connection between us and to scrutinize in the connection new qualities of connection because these are spiritual discernments. We need to compile from these qualities of our Partzuf, the screen, which is the thatched roof and discernments which are the general structure of the soul and connect, assemble these parts, connect these small Sukkahs and the small Partzufim and this puzzle we will put together the entire will to receive until it's the will to bestow, that's our work. The process has begun. We just need to study it and become experts and how we assemble everything and organize them, we have to learn about the new qualities that need to appear in us and that's how to advance. I'm very happy that we are in this kind of process. Who could have thought that we can be in it? We can't even appreciate the direction we are moving in.

10.S. (44:52) I heard earlier that we have to develop such sensitivity for every tiny evil that appears in the connection between us like the bite of a mosquito and then work with. What is that sting? What is that sensitivity? What are those little things that are revealed?

R. If some small desire, egoistic desire is not revealed in the person the person cannot move because it's only the revelation of evil that pushes us towards the good. We need these things but they are revealed from above. The Creator reveals it by awakening a bit of the reforming light and so we discover the extent to which we are not yet connected correctly to each other.

S. The correction of these bites, these things that we discover in the connection between us, what is that action of correction?

R. The act of correction is only through the connection between us - the inclination towards connection that's all

S. I discovered something improper in the connection between me and the friends - even hate. What is the action of correction?

R. I cannot tell you. You need to scrutinize yourself and to act on it. You're asking me as if you just came to us today. The act of correction, whatever is in your power to do you must do, you must do it.

S. Why I'm asking, the action of correction is how I turn to the Creator, that is how I learn, I demand to come closer and now to understand if I should wait for a result, to feel more?

R. Waiting is Klipa, the shell, know this one thing. Waiting is the Klipa, the shell.

S. Obtain a result?

R. To obtain means to make efforts in what they tell us to do, and when I feel that I'm incapable of it I turn to the Creator.

S. Do we need to expect a result from this plea?

R. I don't hope for a result, I hope for an opportunity to be able to turn to the Creator. That's the result. This address to the Creator is the reward.

11.S. (47:35) We understand that the most important thing is the connection between us. We take many steps to connect between us, Zoom calls, Galaxy, everything. But I feel that somehow I need to receive something new in order to step up my connection, rise another degree in the connection. What can you give us something new in order to raise another degree in our connection?

R. To open the heart. Each new degree starts with a greater opening of the heart where we feel that here I must open myself up more towards the connection with the friends. I'm unable to do so, so I am regretful, I pray and so on but this is actually the beginning of the advancement.

12. S. (48:49) You see us as a world Kli. What is the closest action in order to increase the connection? We live through this routine of dissemination, lessons and this framework exists. What is the correct step to increasing that connection?

R. To try to act in the direction of a single thought, a single desire, a single action, a single goal and to pray together, to ask. Each one should ask separately of course, individually and then you all will scrutinize exactly how to ask, who to turn to with what and how exactly and all these things become clear through the prayer. This is the raising of MAN to a higher degree which will accept your lack and we'll work on the lack and will give birth to you in a new, more advanced form.

S. You’re looking at us from the side, are we making efforts?

R. You make efforts but these efforts end with a prayer. A good proper prayer has to be the summary of all the efforts.

*Baal HaSulam. Shamati. Article 8. What Is the Difference between a Shade of Kedusha and a Shade of Sitra Achra? Reader (50:58 - 53:07)*

13. R. We see that the summary of the right work is the right prayer.

*Reader continues “This is because only through...”(53:15 - 53:55)*

14. R. The prayer in the language of Kabbalah is called the raising of MAN, the raising of a lack from a lower Partzuf to a higher Partzuf, where the lower compels the upper one to take care of the lower one. This is what the upper one is waiting for, and expecting and as soon as it receives the lack from the lower one: it turns to the one above it - all the way to Ein Sof. Then from there the light comes to the upper one, and the upper one then portions to the lower one exactly what the lower one needs to correct it. This is how it works, as we learn from TES. This is the work: to raise a lack from us upwards, but this lack has to be right, otherwise the upper one shuts itself off and waits for the lower one to ask properly. Because if the lower one asks improperly then the lower one cannot accept and cannot receive what is needed from the upper one - he won't use it correctly. So it is like a little child asking for something through which he still doesn't have the intelligence to play properly with. We give in each and every age we give him what he can use in order to develop safely, so our work is just to ask and ask and ask through the raising MAN and from Ein Sof, from infinity - the light comes down and takes care of us through all of Partzufim.

15. S. The conclusion of the correct work is a prayer?

R. Yes.

S. If we reach a certain conclusion of work and we didn't reach a prayer, it means the work is not finished?

R. Of course.

S. So if we see that we are in the end and we don't have a prayer - do we have to pray artificially or?

R. That depends on the state that you're all in but the state has to be such that I am working with the ten and I respect them, and I embrace them and love them and I bestow upon them. We do these things in order to connect together and in order to generate a passion, a yearning for a more advanced states between us. From these more advanced states we want to create such a state of connection between us - from which we can all bestow upon the Creator. Bestowing upon the Creator means that we give him the possibility of appearing in us so that he will enjoy it, not that we want or need it for ourselves. Rather we want this only in order to delight Him, to make Him happy. That is what we call Ushpizin, the guests in the Sukkah, for example. That’s what we do, so all of our work in the ten is for us to connect together and from that connection to want to bestow upon a higher degree. The degree above us is called the Creator because truly he created us once upon a time - through these cascades from above downward. So we raise a lack and what is our lack? We want this degree to be revealed in us so by that we will bestow contentment upon it. Not for us, for us nothing - for us we only want one thing. To ascribe ourselves to it, to affiliate with it, to belong to it from the bottom up. This is our work so later we will discover other forms of work with the light of Chochmah and equivalence, identification. For the time being we want to connect to the upper degree by annulling ourselves and wanting the upper degree to use us however it wants, however it needs to.

16. S. (58:55) Tomorrow all of our 10 are getting together after this Shabbat lesson. The name of the meeting is a Sukkah of Peace. What do you think should be the most important topic addressed?

R. That will be after tomorrow's lesson so you will see, like right now everyday we take a small step forward connecting a bit more, thinking a bit more, integrating something new, seeing from a different viewpoint something that is happening in the world compared to where we should be. So let us try to be, try to advance from today till tomorrow is a long time. We have a lesson tomorrow in the evening and tomorrow in the morning and I think that every lesson is a very meaningful step forward - to tell you what you're desirable situation that you will actually be in after tomorrow's lesson I cannot say, it depends upon you.

17. S. (1:00:38) Why are we afraid of opening up our hearts to what will we discover inside?

R. The truth is I don't have that much to open up my ego, my pride, my fear of discovering myself and the extent to which I am a beast and worse than a beast. A beast is a beast, I am worse so to open the heart and also we are not capable of it as our ego will not allow us to do that - it won’t allow us to. And that’s right because we need to perform these corrections gradually to the degree to which I can regard the force of the bestowal as higher than the force of reception, so gradually together we will help each other with that.

18. S. (1:02:00) I don't understand the point where the Creator is waiting for us to turn to Him. Why is this not clear? If I have a child and I see that he wants to be independent and he doesn't turn to me - I'm happy because he's developing his independence but I guess the Creator is a jealous God and until I crawl on my knees and ask him he won't let me succeed in anything. Why is it like that?

R. Your child is an egoist like you, so his egoistic development is clear to you. You are just glad to see how he develops. We develop the other way around, rising above the ego and using our ego in the opposite way in order to bestow. So we are incapable of even taking a small step forward by using our egoistic nature correctly, rather we need to receive the reforming light each time. Then it will affect our will to receive and then with the corrected desire: the corrected will, we will be able to perform an act that promotes us and turns us into bigger components, more important components, parts of the vessel of Adam HaRishon. So you cannot sit here and wait for your friends or for you or for others to the work. No one can do the work himself. Only to activate the Arvut and through the Arvut to activate the upper force which will influence him, invert him and when one is inverted he will be able to perform a true spiritual action on the path and only that way.

S. The more we advance, so similarly the Creator will not allow us to do anything alone and asks us to turn to him?

R. If you have the upper light that can correct your ego then go ahead - you don't need the Creator but where will you get the upper light? Where? You asked as though you have the will to bestow and you can advance spiritually. From where will you get the will to bestow? You need the upper lighs so that in your will to receive you will create the will to bestow and then you will be able to perform an advanced action, to grow more. Without the upper light how is this possible?

S. I agree, I feel this is the situation today. The question is if we are starting an action we have to start taking into consideration the Creator as quickly as possible?

R. Yes of course no question there. Our ego won't allow us to remember this, we forget this. Mainly it's when my society thinks of this, I won't be able to forget either. That’s the meaning of each one helps his friends. We keep reminding each other without God's help we cannot sort ourselves out. When we do sort ourselves out ultimately we turn back to him, he is the first and he is the last. He is always at the beginning of my proper spiritual action and he is always at the end of the action, of my right spiritual action. In the beginning I ask him for power and ultimately after arranging myself properly I turn to Him with my corrected desire.

S. I also feel that the Creator has such a desire that in the end, he proves to you that He did the action - you admit it.

R. Yes of course, and that doesn't matter - it is just further proof that I am in adhesion with Him.

19. S. (1:07:10) In order to be in adhesion with the Creator, you said that we have to build the intention that we connect to bestow to him - and not that we would feel good from the outside. How do we need to correctly build this intention in advance because I don't have such a desire?

R. That is what you all established through your work in the ten by scrutinizing these things and by asking for the power from above and gradually it stabilizes. You need through your work to find the right form of connection so that from your connection you will be able to turn to the Creator.

20. S. (1:08:11) You said that as a result of our work we come to the right request and I would have loved to understand how this transition happens. From the daily request that we have in the ten - we come to it, we hold it throughout the day to come to the correct request?

R. That happens seemingly by itself if you work correctly in the ten and you look for a way to establish yourselves correctly as one body. Then you'll come to understand these things. You discover the need for turning to the Creator for turning to the friends as Rabash writes each one needs to annul to the friends and on the other hand he needs to be higher and so on. All of these forms in general, you apply in the ten as you strive to connect more together so that from the connection between you - you will come to connect with the Creator and that is called from the love of the created beings to the love of the Lord. This will happen to you. Just try to constantly maintain that direction, that line and it will establish and build you up correctly, this is how it will happen.

21. S. (1:09:55) I heard that you said that the deficiency should be in the right one otherwise the upper one will wait until the lower one will ask correctly - what is the correct deficiency? How do I know that the deficiency is correct?

R. The right lack is something that you establish by force, it never comes from above prepared. Anyone who thinks it should come by itself doesn't understand our correction. Our corrections are always things that come by our force, they have to be arranged like a puzzle where nothing matches nothing and nothing goes together and we have to actively by force look for it and search and so too advance, sweating. So use everything you can, everything in your power to do you must do and then it will happen. The Creator is there behind the person creating all of his sensations, thoughts. He will reveal how the person is not yet ready for it and how he is ready, the main thing is just to advance and right now we also advance.

*Reader “ all the changes are in the receivers...” (1:11:57 - 1:14:15)*

22.R. So here we need to see ourselves, always to see what state we're in. Either we’re under the influence of the state and then I think about the state itself or I can say that this state comes from the upper Force and it came in order to educate me, to reform me, to explain something to me, to teach me. So the question is: to what extent does this situation cover up the Creator or perhaps it's the other way around? It helps me to hold on to the Creator more and not to disconnect from the Creator who is the cause. Of this it is said that the righteous will walk and the wicked will falter. So the wicked is the one who feels something bad and thinks only of how to come out of that, to escape that and the righteous is one who justifies the Creator and overcomes to justify and thinks of the Creator as good. Because the Creator does it in order to promote him, he does everything possible in order to justify the Creator until inside that situation which was bad - which before appeared bad - that he could see the good. Meaning that he can see the purpose which is to promote him to a higher degree. To rise above the feeling of the ego where he feels the bad things, rise to the feeling of the upper Force which educates him and there he feels good. So of course all of the states that we go through will always be in our sensations: bad and good if we advance correctly, or if we cannot turn it to good by connecting to the Creator from whom it all comes - if we cannot reach such faith that covers our reason then we enter the reason and we suffer. That is the situation of the whole world, you don't have anything but these two states. There is an article, the world has two states, either Klipa or Kedusha, shell or Divinity. Divinity means you can see how it covers the whole world.

*Reader continues” since you cannot believe in his guidance naturally...”(1:17:10 - 1:21:22)*

23. R. Because the main thing here is to either always be striving forward. One falls and rises and falls and rises as it’s written a thousand times: the righteous will fall and rise and it is truly so. It is impossible without all of these mistakes, falls and problems through those a person learns he cannot do anything, attain anything without - as it is written: one cannot stand on a commandment unless he fell from it or on it. A commandment means an act of bestowal. A person cannot perform an act of bestowal unless before that he discovers how opposite he is to it. Gradually it starts entering us and we start integrating with that system, what we learn we don't just learn, we integrate. It builds us and then the inner system, the mind and the heart, the emotion and the intellect - they take on this form of the thoughts that we receive from the articles. That is how they build us and so it follows that the will to receive, the shattered will to receive begins to connect in all kinds of new ways, it's atoms and molecules so to speak begin to connect together, all of those parts connect together in order to build a system which works not according to the rule of reception but rather according to the rule of bestowal. Meaning that we start entering a new world, the opposite upside down world, the spiritual world. This is all due to this new form that we take, the new structure.

24. S. (1:23:50) We understand that the shadows shape, so should we pray for the shadows not to flee?

R. We need to work with every single thing that appears on the path because it appears because of where I am right now. It appears because I need to respond to it correctly and that is it. So accept everything with a blessing, even the worst thing and advance that way. Always be joyful, whatever happens, whatever is revealed is always moving us towards the end of correction.

25. S. (1:24:41) How do we work correctly in the balance between the feeling and the intellect? We have had such great preparation in the morning, suddenly in the middle of the lesson with all of the questions of the friends. All of the thoughts are going to this intellectual analysis, analyzing and drawing the schematics of the system. What is the best way to combine these two things?

R. You need to make an effort to hear these intellectual things for them, so to speak and to shift them more towards the emotion. They cannot speak differently perhaps, perhaps they don't have any other words, they don't know how to convey it emotionally. Nevertheless each one should judge his friend favorably according to what he understands that to be and not to bend or coerce the friends saying that he needs to speak this way and not that way. Rather one needs to correct the friend within oneself, what is the friend? It is an image which exists within me, it is as if there is someone next to me but this whole world is imaginary, the friends are imaginary, there is nothing here. Just images, characters which I sense and I feel because the upper light wants to arrange in me my inner attitude and relations. So it doesn't matter what I hear and what I see from the friends. I need to judge the friend favorably as we say. To see them as people who speak rightly and think rightly, pray correctly and perhaps I don't understand them exactly but first I must judge the friends favorably.

S. The Malchut of Ein Sof appears as an energetic unit with potential for change to which we are all connected. Is this what the Creator created that whale, the Leviathan?

R. Yes.

26. S. (1:27:24) What is prayer?

R. A prayer means to raise a lack, to raise MAN from a lower degree to a higher degree. It means that to some extent I feel that there is something above me - that I have someone to turn to. That there is an open ear and upper heart that can feel me like a baby senses and feels his mother and so we turn to it and ask for correction and for help and support, anything that we feel that we lack on our path to the higher degree. To reach the higher degree means that whatever I ask for, I ask the changes in me such that I will be able to bestow contentment upon the upper one so that when I raise MAN, when I raise this lack, it needs to be wrapped up in my desire to do good to the upper one.

S. How do I turn to the upper one?

R. If you think about how to turn to the upper one, who wants only your spiritual advancement - you will pray correctly. You will understand you only pray to the upper one when you are together with the friends and with them, you find the correct lack and together you elevate it and you raise it up to the higher One, in order to create a lack for the upper one. You need to be connected to 10 people as one on the lower degree - that is how the degrees work. The lower degree with respect to the upper one if you collect it together and assemble it to where 10 become one, it will become like a single unit in the upper one. The 10 become 1. That is how we see Partzufim being born and extending from the top down and rising from the bottom up.

27. S. (1:29:58) If both shadows operate upon us, does this mean that the screen didn't play its role in order to advance you have to take down the screen?

R. To advance we need to connect more between us and through the connection between us we ask for a force from above which influences the connection between us. Then it builds from us, one Kli with a Masach. That is how it works, we don't turn in any way to lose the Masach, to lose the intention in order to bestow, that is a Klipah. God forbid

27. S. (1:31:09) When the group asks a question, is it correct to envision that I am Malchut of the group

R. Very good, good and correct.

28. S. (1:31:34) What special lack does the Sukkah show us?

R. Sukkah shows us a lack in connection such that it will cover the whole world to receive of ours. And give the upper light the ability to the Creator to illuminate through the Sukkah, through the thatch upon us, and for us to be able to receive this upper light and to grow. To receive the Creator that is revealed slowly, slowly in the Sukkah. As each time he is revealed we can count 7 days of Sukkot and these are the seven lower Sephirot of the Partzuf (KCHB) Keter Chochmah Binah remain above the Sukkah and what can move towards us is the (CHGTNHYM), Chesed Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach Hod Yesod Malchut. The entrance of these lights into these Sukkah are called the guests, or Ushpizin, we will learn this with you because day in Sukkot that we will start tomorrow we will emphasize what the special day is. Abraham, Isaac, David, Moshe, Aaron, Joseph, David what are those spiritual forces, these are not people but spiritual forces we need to receive. Meaning identify with them, resemble them and this is how we take on the general form of Adam HaRishon.

29. S. (1:34:01) You gave us practical advice, the exercise that the Shatz should create the prayer twice a day and send it to everyone. How to make that a prayer from everyone in the whole ten and not just from Shatz?

R. I don't know you, need to see how to arrange these things on your own, I can't dictate on each and everything what to do. You need to see what you need to do and to try everything that you can to learn from what you're doing for good or for bad, scrutinize things in this is how you advance. I can't twice a day that I will write for you a prayer? The prayer needs to be from your heart from what you're asking. Sit and you will see that you're sorry that you have nothing to say, to be sorry that you can't connect with one another. If you can't understand one another and connect with one desire with one hope then how can you awaken a deficiency on a higher degree? You can't. If you don't connect on your degree in this deficiency you want to raise above - if you can't do that then the Upper doesn't feel you. Then you are in disconnect with him and he awakens you by blows and all kinds of problems, that is how it works.

30. S. (1:36:18) Yesterday, in the ten, it came up that everything comes from the hands of the Creator and still each one of us should hold himself accountable and responsible for everything, is that correct?

R. Yes it is correct, meaning that the fact that each one is responsible for everything and everything comes from the Creator this is true, all of those things. But we need to do is- what is upon us to do, we need to say nevertheless, not in the heavens but on the earth and if it is not for me then who - and I arrange things. We can always say it all comes from the Creator: he is first and last and he does everything, no. We need to say I am doing this, he gave this to me - there is free choice and I must execute it. The free choice is implemented specifically in the work with the friends in appealing to the Creator.

S. Should I relate as a friend in the ten as if the Creator is behind him or equally to all of the friends in the world Kli?

R. I need to relate first to my ten and build the connection with them because we are truly as one man. If we connect to other tens than it is out of us together being connected in our ten and from this connection from this common image and character that we turn to the other ten.

31. S. (01:39:10) If possible can you go back to, what does it mean: what is the shade of faith?

R. The shade is called concealment, shadow. The concealment, the fact that we are in the concealment - we feel in some sense that there is something but that it is hidden from us. Now the question is how do I work with that feeling of the concealment? I want to invert this concealment into a revelation. But how will I make it a revelation? Not by me removing the concealment, I don't want it to be. I don't pray and ask and wait for the concealment to disappear, rather I ask to have the force to rise above the concealment. This is called above my reason and then in such a way I come to spirituality which is in bestowal. Above the concealment. This is how we do it above the concealment.

32. S. (1:40:32) Where is the upper one that I turn to?

R. I address the force of bestowal which fills all of reality. Only in me is the force of reception is from which I don't see anything. In me other than the force of reception, there is one spark which is called a Godly part from above and from that spark - from that desire to rise above to the purpose of life to the essence of life. By this spark I try to raise myself to a higher degree, above reason. I understand with my intellect I am not capable of understanding the true reality, and I will remain closed up inside my ego which closes everything and lets me only feel this world. This world is what our ego shows us all together from the entirety of reality. This is why I try to rise above, which is called faith above reason, and in the force of bestowal where I try to erect in me, I feel an upper sensation which is called the revelation of the Creator to the creature.

33. S. (1:42:30) In the coming Sukkot holiday, thinking and clarifying the concept of transients and temporary - when the Sukkah represents this temporary shelter in nature. Now we don't have that and we don't know what to do, my question is whether we lose something in our development as humans when we are afraid of this thing called transients.

R. I am very happy to hear that you are without a foundation, without any ground under your feet - that you are in worry and fear, and in difficulty. I'm hoping that it will grow more and more and for you to feel yourself like a bunny that is sitting under the bush trembling, that at any moment he will be caught and be eaten. It is very nice and I wish for you to feel that way all day and all night. It is a wonderful, excellent feeling that avances a person towards the correct search. As all this false confidence that you had from the ego that was blocking your eyes, now it is dissipating in this is how all of humanity is working right now. Do you see what is happening right now in the whole world? We are advancing this way, we will try to feel and understand what true confidence is. Where we can't survive without feeling not the ground under our feet, the egoistic ground, but rather for us to be connected to the roof, to the ceiling to the higher-up degree, in faith above reason. In place of the force of reason which is below our feet, this will be the force of faith above us and in such a way we will rise and rise, all of us. So what you're feeling, the sensation is a very good one if you know how to implement it correctly. So first of all say thank you to the Creator for shaking you up and not letting you remain as a beast, but rather that he wants to make spiritual people out of you.

S. How to help the friends like Baal HaSulam writes that he's in a double concealment when the friend?

R. If he feels that he is in double concealment then simply give him something to read something to hear, something to take him into some connection with you, just try to take him out of that. But if he doesn't want it, leave him alone. I don't know if this is a person that was with you and entered some double concealment then you need to help. But if it is just a person on the street, then these concealments, he doesn't feel that he is in concealment. He didn't have any small revelation about that therefore it's not worthwhile to deal with him.

S. Can a person himself feel that he is in a double concealment?

R. Was he in a better state before that?

S. Yes.

R. Then help him, take him with you together and let him be beside you slowly for it to have an influence on him - there is no more to say here.

34. S. (1:47:16) If the Creator attacks you with wrong and bad thoughts about the friend to the point that you feel sick - what does he want from you and how do you work with it?

R. It doesn't matter all you have to do is work and how you're going to work with a friend and to the Creator through that.

*Shamati 50 “Two States” Reader (1:47:52 - 1:50:24) reads twice*

35. S. A person who is already in bestowal sees that there are two states in the world?

R. Even if he doesn't come to spirituality yet he still realizes there are two states there.

36. S. (1:51:51) About the previous part, the state of double concealment, can it happen after Maschom, on the degree of Rabash?

R. There always is both double concealment and regular concealment, and regular revelation and double revelation. There are these four degrees and these four degrees can be in anything and everything in every person. Even we see this in Rabbi Shimon, Shimon from the market, they are all forms of concealment that a person needs to go through, all through the path until the end of correction. The more one advances he has forms of concealments that are worse against the more exalted forms of revelation.

36a. R. (01:52:51) Sukkah means thatch, which is the Waste of Barn and Winery. It is above reason.

37. R. *WSQ:* (1:53:13) What is considered that the Sukkah covers the mind, what is it considered that it covers, like it’s not good that the mind would be covered, what do we benefit from covering ourselves? From hiding ourselves on purpose, what exactly are we hiding and what are you hiding from? Talk about the essence of the Sukkah.

38. R. *WSQ:* (1:56:15) Why do we do this Sukkah specifically from the waste of the Barnyard and Vineyard - from things that have no rational or correct usage in this world?

39. R. *WSQ:* (1:58:28) Why is the Sukkah called shade or the shadow of faith? Shade of faith. Why is the Sukkah called the shade of faith. The initial structure that we need to do on the group is called the Sukkah and it is called the shade of faith.

40. R. *WSQ:* (2:01:10) A little more difficult question. If the whole matter of the Sukkah is the shade, where you are sitting in the shade - then why is there a matter of sitting in the Sukkah at night as well when there is no sun above us? Talk together and try not to think and be wise each of you - even looking on your own is not good, but seek it together. Please, why if the Sukkah is called the main thing. That we're sitting under the thatch and the shade where above is the sun, the thatch and then under it, us, then why is there also the matter of being in this Sukkah at night when there is no sun and no light?

*Excerpt 17 Rabash “It is said the merciful one will erect the following Sukkah of David....”Reader (2:09:23 - 2:11:01)*

41. R. *WSQ:* How do we raise between us the value of the Creator in the value of the revelation of the Creator which rules everything and prepares everything, arranges everything. And there is none else besides him and all that is happening in all of reality and we who want to build the force of bestowal, the screen which connects between us, where on one hand it differentiates between us and the Creator because we don't want to receive directly from him. On the other hand we do want to be connected to him but through the thatch, the Masach through the Zivug d’ Hakaa, Ohr Chozer, just like the host and the guests where each gives to the other. In such a way they can be connected. So how do we constantly ask the Creator to strengthen for us the screen, the thatch, the connection between us which is built specifically through the rejection where we reject our ego, our will to receive and we want to bring closer to us specifically the form of bestowal which is called the waste. It is not important to, us so we constantly raise the importance of the waste and lower the importance of the goal. How do we do this, how do I constantly ask the Creator to strengthen the thatch? Let's talk about how we turn to the Creator to strengthen for us constantly the connection between us, the thatch between us towards him, and for us to appreciate the force of bestowal, the force of giving so that it will be more and more from moment to moment. So that we will be able to correct our vessels better until we come to the complete correction.
