Daily Lesson (Afternoon) March 9, 2024

Part 1: An Event in Honor of International Women's Day - "Women Change Reality." 

Hello everyone, hello dear Rav, hello Gilad, hello dear friends. Around the world and here in the hall, we would like to start the lesson. We had now one hour of social time, we're sitting in our Tens here and around the world.

There are gatherings around the world where we see friends are sitting together, and we were very excited, we felt how we were turning into one woman in this preparation for our event. Our event is called “Women Are Changing Reality”, and we would really want to realize these words and that it won't be just a slogan. We would like to open with a question to Rav.

Student: (01:00) What is special about the force of women to change reality? 

M. Laitman: I am certain that, specifically, the power of women can change reality. Soon we will be studying from the article of Shamati, “Confidence is the clothing for the Light.” And in many places, it talks about how a man who goes out to the world to earn, to benefit in some way. In all those ways he demands the force that a woman will have a grip on him and hold on to him, and sustain him, and for him to feel this force. 

Being delegated by her and being sent by her. And he has great confidence since it is clothing to the upper light. And eventually, just as we say that the woman is the foundation of our lives, it's not just the corporeal life. But it's also the spiritual life and also the daily attainment that a man attains. We will talk more about that.

But this is the main thing. Of course, besides that, we see in our lives the extent in which in our corporeal life, how we are dependent on women, need them, and are capable of doing a lot in order for the woman to support and help a man on this path. Please, ask more.

Student: (03:20) I'm here, thank you. Okay, maybe Gilad can instruct us where the questions, where we can ask from, so all the friends can ask. As you said earlier, we have two articles and what we'll have time to do. So we would like to ask, we usually learn women and men together, we are all equal. 

It's like, for years, you have told us today we are all equal. It's not, we can't feel if it's a man asking or a woman asking, we feel the inner deficit of a person. So, what is special about women's gathering? 

M. Laitman: What's special about the assembly of women? Support. A man cannot do it alone without that. We see this in all the parts of our lives, we cannot, that is one thing. And the other thing is, that we must have more real, more tangible support. We can see how from year to year the women, the female force, is more impactful, more powerful, and more unique, therefore, we need your support. The support of the women in a more massive and directed manner for the help of the men, for the support and the drive to truly give a push to the men. 

And then I am certain that we will succeed. A man, without a woman, is very weak in spirituality. Hence, there is an obligation to men, upon men, to get married as soon as possible and there are other things that I am not going to get into the details of here. But we do know that a woman can manage things at home, she can work, she can arrange everything in her life, in our life. But a man, without a woman, is like, it is like half a body. Is like just a little helpless. 

That is why we're very concerned and if we could look at it in some other way, then you need to enter and do and push us and pressure us, and we will do. I am very sensitive to the pressure of the woman, so please, pressure. 

Student: (06:54) We live in a reality where we see so much pressure from all types. In families or even small children, nothing is organized, everything is broken, not to mention wars and other things. All the women around the world would like men to break this wall into spirituality. We feel an obligation that this will happen, that it's a call of time. It's clear to us that it must happen. You're here with us.

M. Laitman: We must go out more, specifically with the help of women, and to put them in the front, and in this way, more and more, we will succeed. There is no doubt that in our generation the role of the woman must truly be in the front and be in that direction.

Student: (09:02) We would like to invite all our friends to go to the microphone stands.

Reader: Yes, why don't we take a look at where the ushers are, ushers, please stand up. Anyone who wants to ask a question should raise their hand until the microphone comes to her and then she can put down her hand, and the ushers will approach you.

M. Laitman: I am asking only one question: What do you need to receive from the organization, from the men, so that we will all succeed together? That is what concerns me, that is the only thing.

If there are ideas or anything, I see hands there, where are the microphones? Give the woman who raised her hand a microphone.

Student: (09:06) Good day to everyone. In the recent days and in the past weeks, but especially in the past few days, yesterday, the articles are very strong. Those are articles that are intended for the role of a woman. So, if a man brings down the light, this is the turning point where the woman, from down to up, all of us as one Kli. The Shechina is like a female in Hebrew so what we need from the organization is to continue with these articles. They are very important for our progress. 

M. Laitman: Reader, repeat, please. 

Reader: She said, the articles we've been reading lately they talk about the female part. She's asking if we will continue with these articles because they're very powerful.

M. Laitman: In truth, each and every article can only be realized, and implemented, it can only be done with the help of the woman. As she connects to her man and gives him that feeling of confidence, and a woman can do that. t is truly a wonder. I cannot receive from anywhere in the world confidence like I do from a woman, from the family. We do not talk about this. We do not usually ask the woman, but it is good to know that a man really needs it. And this will come back later to the whole family, in his study. Please.

M. Laitman: Who has the microphone? Then, run to those who are putting their hands up.

Student: (11:38) I would like to say that here are the question stations. In the back, if you raise your hands, we can't see you. So please come up here. There are chairs here, and you can ask them here. 

Student: (11:52) We heard in the preparation, and now that you encourage us to persuade the world that what we've been doing so far has failed. Now it's time for women to lead the way, we have a deficit. We have care and concern for this change in humanity. How to make it more accurate? You told a friend, earlier, that we have to be in the front. So, how not to do it as men, how to do it as women? 

M. Laitman: This is the connection between you and the support that you can give to the men. Each to your own men and all together, all the men, and all the women to support all the men, and to the children as well. And you will advance from day to day. Just like a mother checks her child when he comes back from school. So, she also needs to make sure that her man, and her sons and daughters, will all be cared for correctly, this is where the progress depends upon.

Student: What do you mean, in the front?

M. Laitman: In the front, you need to see the extent in which a man, where he is and where he needs the help throughout the day, in certain times. And also, with the boys towards our entire daily routine, schedule, daily. And to hear, to ask him. You are coming back now from a meeting or something, you studied something there, the article, probably. What was the article about? Tell me, teach me. 

Student: Can I ask last question: How we, women of Bnei Baruch, can take the responsibility that the future of the world is in our hands? 

M. Laitman: You must do that, there is no question, even, I see no other way to succeed but specifically by you coming and bestowing, impacting people, the men, their desires, their will. It all depends on women. 

Student: (15:02) I would like to ask; it is known that divorce rate is very high and a lot of men and women are looking for a partner. So, I would like to ask if it's possible that when I am getting stronger in the path, then the right man will come? Because I don't see him now. 

M. Laitman: To you? 

Student: Yes, to me and for the years to come. 

M. Laitman: But I once heard, and we talked about the fact, that we would have like a club, or how do we call it? 

Student: I'm waiting for it to open up.

M. Laitman: What, it didn't open up? 

Reader: There is this men-women thing. The thing is that this generation is very selective and spoiled. I would say less willing to go along with relationships, compared to our married couples from before. There's a point to what you're saying. There are men, women, there are bachelors. Somehow, it's not working out, there's not enough importance, probably.

M. Laitman: That is a problem. I will tell you; I was involved in it a little and I saw that it's very difficult, very difficult to convince. Also, women, not just men, also the women, to build the proper relationship, in a family is a great thing. Especially in many Kabbalah books, it is written that the Creator cries. And men and women cannot connect between them and the extent in which He arranges things for them from above. But the whole thing is that if we look at things in a more spiritual manner, we will see that it does not have to do with corporeal scrutinies. If there is a general suitability, according to their general characteristics, without entering into too many scrutinies below the spiritual matters. 

Student: (18:02) I would like to raise this subject, continue what our friends asked. We had a beautiful evening a few months ago. The men, it's hard for them to come, to arrive. We really want this. I am dealing with the matchmaking and with the single people. We need to have once a month so that it will be possible to have an event. We want this, we have the people, we have the lists. We need the strength of the organization. 

M. Laitman: What does that depend upon? Do you want me to come every day? 

Student: You're more than invited. We would like you to come and to give a lecture. To have a convention of singles. We have evenings for couples, and we would like evening for singles. 

M. Laitman: Okay, start, I am willing. 

Student: (19:17) If I may ask, you earlier said, what do we need from the organization? I feel that now, everything we couldn't dream about in the past 20 years, now women are connected to morning lessons, women have Tens. It's very clear that women are not only supporting, but they're actually connecting and withdrawing the light. My question is what do you need from us to lead Bnei Baruch to the end of the correction, to the final correction? 

M. Laitman: I only need connection from everyone and warmth and love, that is all I need. 

Student: I think that all the world will agree that we love you very much. We want you to be with us for many years and to lead us into the entrance of the palace. 

M. Laitman: As much as you want, there is nothing to worry about that. I will be able to be with you for as many years as you want. 

Student: (21:03) I would like to ask about, a woman isn't like a home. I would like to ask, I don't want to ask about the corporeal thing, I would like to ask about the spiritual matter. A woman, she has it, she contains in her heart, towards the men, it's very obvious. Maybe we can develop this to each other. This is something that we feel in the heart. Maybe you can say a few words so we can bring correction to this world. 

M. Laitman: Without any doubt, a woman is called the home. And everything revolves around a woman. We need to maybe give it more importance but in every place that we read, also in the Torah, the house, dwellers, the house, it all goes around the woman in the house. So, we need to just find the sources and read about it.

Student: (22:26) In the International Women's Day, maybe 13 years ago, you showed a difference between men and women. You mentioned that a woman has a deficit for love and a man has a deficit for connection. What is the difference between these two? Between lacking of love and lacking of connection?

M. Laitman: Love demands a connection called love; it demands an open heart. Connected to the heart that stands against it and the feeling of two hearts in one heart. And connection is a little external to that. Therefore, that is how I would say it. 

Student: Why did you define men and women differently? 

M. Laitman: There is a difference in this between men and women. A woman demands connection of the hearts more internally, more warmly than a man.

Student: What is love? 

M. Laitman: Love is the feeling of a foreign heart as if it is one's own heart. 

Student: (24:16) Organizing the house is clear and we have to press on the men and press on the children, external things. But is the pressure of a woman, does it need to come from a place where she will connect to the Creator? That inside she will feel the importance to connect to the Creator through her Ten? Isn't that bigger pressure on everything? 

M. Laitman: I do not think so, it is good that a woman prays and asks the Creator and connects to Him, and the Creator invests forces in the woman. Nevertheless, towards the prayer to the Creator, the man comes first.

Student: I understand, but to ask for the men and for the children, I feel many times that in a direct way, I can't influence them. That I have to ask the Creator, that He will bestow to them, that I can't. 

M. Laitman: Yes, that is possible too. 

Student: (25:45) First of all, I would like to join in feeling grateful, from all the friends, for what you're giving us. We receive so much from this article and from learning with the Ten, I don't think that we understand how much. My question is you answered, a few days ago in a show called, “A Man and Woman: Shechina Between Them,” that a woman needs to be like a man's mother. I wanted to ask how to combine between this place of pressuring on him and the place of being mothering to him. How to develop this mothering feeling? 

M. Laitman: Both this and that, a man wants to receive from the woman, yes.

Student: But how the woman, what can help her? Maybe just from studying, is that enough? 

M. Laitman: It has nothing to do with the study, it has to do with her heart, the heart of the woman. And the extent to which she can invest from her heart in the man, in her man, in her husband, in her children, that is actually the role of the woman. Without that, you cannot advance spiritually. Therefore, a man with a woman is more helpless than a woman is. 

Student: (27:16) You give great importance to the woman in comparison to the man. There are many women that don't have a man, and no children either. They don't have their own home. So the question is if all this can be referred to scrutinies that we do within ourselves. What about relations between women, that they're two women's forces? What to do when things around me are not arranged by nature? 

M. Laitman: By nature, it's not organized that way and it is correct that we have to find a society where women can connect with women. And this way, out of this connection between them, can also rise to the Creator.

Student: (28:22) I would like to ask, the Queen Esther, Purim is ahead of us, Esther changed the destiny of Israel with prayer. We say that thanks to righteous women, the people of Israel came out of Egypt. We are today in the International Women's Day, we have women and men that have been, that are in Gaza. We don't feel that we are putting all our strength into this. I know that if one of us were there, then we would be thinking about them. Why isn't this happening? Where is our strength? Where is our responsibility? 

M. Laitman: Really, where? 

Student: (29:44) I feel that if I didn't have time to hear the lesson, I am not in a strong connection with my Ten. So, my husband and everyone around me can suffer from this. This is not good pressure. And together with that, when I'm in a strong connection with the Ten, I'm more balanced. And I have a right to turn it to my man only after I turn to my Ten. I feel that I don't know what's right. How is it right? Do we, as women have a Masach? Can we pressure the men with a Masach of love to really change the reality? 

M. Laitman: To pressure is a problem. Putting pressure upon a man is not a solution, although, without pressure, we cannot either. Everything is measured by love. If the pressure is more than love, then it is not received. If it comes with love, wrapped with love then that would be okay. It will be received and realized, that is what I can say. We have to connect and each of them will then know what to do better in the family that belongs to us all. 

Student: (32:19) Lately, in the center, we have opened courses by subject, like the Book of Zohar and other subjects that help disseminate. I would like to ask that the center will open special courses about family life, marriage, and partnership. We understand that one out of three couples divorce, and the basis of this request is how to combine the wisdom of Kabbalah to the family life and make them down to earth.

M. Laitman: What can I answer her? 

Reader: We'll deal with it, we'll do it, whatever they ask, we'll have it.

Student: (33:20) I wanted to ask about what is happening now with this war. We have a lot of injured people, young people, going through tough situations, emotional and physical. There's always talk about psychologists and psychiatrists but at the end of the day, from my personal experience, I know only the path can really heal and bring correction to the inside of a person. I would like to know if part of the dissemination that we do can be to create some paper, or a small book, that can give a few points of view from the place of healing to the soldiers, to all the people who are in the hospitals and if we can come out with this. 

M. Laitman: You are right, you are right. We will do this as soon as possible and truly immediately, if possible. 

Student: (34:42) The question of my Ten is this: What can we do as a Ten to get closer to the righteous women of Israel? 

M. Laitman: What can the global organization of women, what can they do, or what in Israel? Well, if it is for women in the Ten, each woman's Ten can come close so much so to the point where they feel that their heart is truly connected to one. And even more, until their hearts truly dissolve in one another and become truly one heart. And then in this heart, it will be with certainty a place where the Creator will be revealed. 

Student: (36:24) This is a question from the group of Ashkelon: When you spoke about women in the front, then the effect of the war came up to me. We have friends from Sderot, and we experience this front physically. But I was thinking about women who are working in educational or therapeutic careers. We feel that the education system is broken and crying. I thought to ask what women who are learning and are physically in these places, what can they bring from themselves to help correct and heal? 

M. Laitman: I do not know, with the entire bureaucracy that exists in Israel in the educational programs, I just do not know. It seems to me that it is a very difficult issue. It is best if we do it in our ways, meaning to print a booklet and spread it out and things like that, things that are in our hands to do but to wait for people to join and want to understand it is a very stiff neck people, you know them. 

Student: (38:00) What is the difference, what is the power of the prayer, and what is the connection to that to people? If in every meeting, every day we will pray, what will be the strength of that? 

M. Laitman: It is an immense force; I cannot even say in what way you can measure it. But it is truly a huge power, I really feel it. When it goes through me, I am very impressed by it. I had certain health issues and certain attacks that came my way. And specifically, thanks to such work, I immediately felt that I can come out of it. 

Student: (39:23) There was a request from my Ten here, that this prayer that we're talking about, we'll do it here now because this is what we've gathered here for. 

M. Laitman: But we do not have such a prayer, right? We need to write it, to compose it. So, let us make between us an agreement that we are all, not now, but throughout the next week or two. We are putting together a prayer and each will pass this to the group, and the group to our center, in short, in such a way that we will receive it. 

Student: (40:52) You spoke about confidence. A woman builds life within her, naturally. It's a natural force that raises life. It's a force of inner intention, of faith, to build life. We don't need nothing more than a drop of sperm, the rest is on us, as usual. It has been given us from the Creator. So, if you ask, all that we ask from you is that promised drop. That you are behind us, holding us, allowing us to enter a real prayer, an intention for peace. The force of a woman is in the home so that we can have a healthy baby. And then we can give this drop a healthy ground to rise on. So, I want to ask the men, how are you going to give us the confidence so that we can raise life within us? 

M. Laitman: Well, you answer.

Reader: I think all the men must watch this lesson, and as Rav said before, you can't stand against a woman's pressure, so just continue. 

M. Laitman: I thank you greatly for your correct and real and just demand. It is truly it is an eternal desire that exists in it. We will try to answer it, to answer this desire. 

Student: (42:53) Today is a special day, and I'm disseminating in the Persian language with some friends. I wanted to ask your permission to read a part of a Shamati article in Persian for all the Persian-speaking people who are now watching us on the screens. 

M. Laitman: I think it's best for you to come to the studio where we can record this in a beautiful way, and from time to time we will broadcast it.

Student: But I'm not sure it will have the same impact. It's not for the moment. Right now, the topic is women. Farsi is very important, but we will record it properly and then a lot more people will watch it. 

Student: (44:17) Women, all over the world, are in difficult times. Many, a lot of violence that we have seen and that has happened is especially against women. I want to ask how to understand this and what can we do to stop this? 

M. Laitman: For it to stop, no one can assure you, and also how to overcome this, I do not know. All the experts we see in this, they just know how to talk but the thing is to strengthen the connection between men and women, man, and woman, as much as possible. And through the dissemination of the wisdom of Kabbalah, we will become more sensitive to it.

Student: (45:24) You asked what we need from the organization, and I thought about it a lot. Rav speaks a lot about dissemination and how important it is for women to disseminate and this subject burns within me. We have very gifted women here that disseminate. They organize themselves and they disseminate to women. This is very women; I think that women will speak to women in the language of women and subject that women are interested in. We have women who are doing very beautiful things. For example, The Project of a Mother, which is a bunch of women that disseminate beautifully to all the people. There are many women here who don't even know about this project, and they're not connected to this network of women, and they cannot disseminate this. Is there a way that the women can get this content, into this text, and see? 

M. Laitman: I have known you for at least 20 years, yes? And I think most of you have known me, and I have known them for 10, 20 years, perhaps even more. Where are you? Why are you not coming? Why aren't you doing something but only now for a few minutes you are speaking.

Student: The organization needs to help us to reach other women.

M. Laitman: How do you do it through the organization? 

Student: We would like the organization to help us disseminate this. 

M. Laitman: But the organization is willing to do it if you tell it in what ways and in what form to disseminate to women, that is it. Where is the material, where are the songs, where are the speakers? 

Student: We have materials, and women are making videos, and we have a YouTube channel and a Facebook channel. We just need help to move it on. 

M. Laitman: What do you mean, onward? 

Student: So, that more women will know about this, and they can pass it onward. 

M. Laitman: Please, by all means. If you take all these women, you'll have everything. Okay, I will be happy to reach them. I just don't have a connection with them.

Reader: I'll help you because it's a technical matter. We have a dissemination manager to our organization, and under him, there are all the department heads in all the different languages, both men and women. You have to turn to them. You can write to (boardworldkli@gmail.com), and they'll answer you. And if there are ideas over there, I never saw them saying no. They always want to progress and advance forward. We had a project called, The Israeli Woman, for many years and many of these things. 

Student: We took part in all these projects.

Reader: Yes, I know, so please, through the known channels, as we say. 

Student: (49:03) In this subject, I would like to say I have been longing since the date of the Israeli newspaper and you called us for the first meeting before we even thought of the name, “Israelite”. I would like to ask; can we make a worldwide organization of women? I have a feeling that we have a lot of ideas and that everyone is feeling that she's alone. I bestow a lot online, Instagram, YouTube, everything. But let's say if it would be possible by language. A lot of people are English speakers, so if we could meet once a week only about dissemination. Maybe not only online, maybe there will be other ideas. I don't know, we have to think about it.

But I feel that we are all bestowing, we have a role but it's not breaking through. Maybe we can have a meeting with all the women and to think how to organize it by language. I don't know, English, French, Russian. But to make it happen and to think of ideas together, to create a group, so that every week these ideas will start working. 

M. Laitman: It is written, “If you want, it's not a legend.” Okay? We are wasting words. Just get in work and we will see what happens.

Student: (50:36) Joining the gratitude that everyone is feeling. We have a treasure in our hand that is called a Ten, where our spiritual life is. In the past, there was a recommendation to devote every meeting, 10, 15% of the meeting, to the support of men, to put spiritual meaning into that. Could we apply this recommendation again? 

M. Laitman: Well, answer her.

Reader: Everything is possible, I'm just saying, if we're going to do so, let's do it in an organized fashion. 

Student: (51:19) My question goes like this: Three weeks ago, we had a very festive event, and I took part in it. I got the privilege to be part of this event and to be on stage. I'm ready to go on stage, I can speak. I put my heart there. After this evening, I rode home with one of your students and we talked about the meaning of bestow. I told him that I feel that I can't bring out into words, my heart. Maybe if I could bring out my heart into words, I would be able to change reality. His reply stunned me. He said that you cannot bestow directly into other person, it has to go through the Ten.

I listened to him very attentively, and since then, I'm in between these two options and to find a way to bring out my heart. I don't know how yet. In comparison to what he said, work through the Ten, work in the Ten. This gap between these two possibilities, I can't fill it within myself. Maybe you can help me with this. 

M. Laitman: Of course, any complete bestowal has to go through the Ten, there's no doubt about it, and one person, an individual, cannot succeed anywhere. This is why we see a coupling by striking being ten Sefirot, coming out of yourself, entering into the next, another Partzuf is also ten Sefirot. It is impossible otherwise, you said it correctly. This is why I think that what we need to do is to try to establish here Tens that will begin to disseminate our wisdom to women, to children. Things we have done before, but for some reason, it always kind of wanes. I have nothing more to say.

Student: I would like to say another thing. This week in the Ten, we talked about our feelings. We have a strong feeling between many women that we need to do more, that we have to take ourselves to the next step somehow. Then it brings me back to this question: How to make this practical, how to make it into actions? Or just to leave it as a longing, as working with a deficit, working intensely in the Ten?

M. Laitman:  If you speak among yourselves and want to grow, in the end, what you do becomes like a womb, which is filled with the embryo that breaks out. So you should not stop but continue.

Student: (55:16) I feel as I get closer to the friends, I feel that I'm growing further than them. Is that how it's supposed to be, and why? 

M. Laitman: I do not know, speak to those next to you in the group, in a bigger group, I do not deal with this. It may be things that are happening there personally.

Student: (55:55) You said that we will be able to melt our hearts and that will bring us closer to the Creator. Can we melt our hearts today, or is it a long process? 

M. Laitman: It depends on your heart, what, should I do it? 

Student: Which prayer would you direct us to pray? How would you guide us to help our hearts melt? 

M. Laitman: Warm your hearts so when they touch each other they will truly become like a, how should I put it, one heart.

Student: Is it possible today, here, to reach this point? 

M. Laitman: Ma'am, it is always possible, at any moment. It does not matter when and in what way, it depends only on your desire.

Student: (56:59) We know that the Creator is good, and I know this in my head but since October 7th, I want to feel it. How do I reach this feeling with everything that has happened in this country, that the Creator is good, how to feel it? I want to really feel it.

M. Laitman: And did you feel it before that? 

Student: No, but now, because of everything that has happened, my brain is always working. I feel like there are two voices in my head. I thank the Creator, and I'm grateful for everything that is happening. Then, with that, there's this thing, how do you, how to feel this? How? I understand that our body is not important in the spiritual system but how do I reach this feeling that He is good? I want to feel it. 

M. Laitman: Yes, I do not know what to answer you. I, too, have a broken heart and an inner weeping and there is nothing you can do.

Student: It hurts, I want to feel this. 

M. Laitman: It hurts, so we have to go out to people more and more and speak to them. It is an obstinate nation, and we have to work with it. This is what we have got. 

Student: (59:06) This convention is called “Women Are Changing Reality”. Can we change reality? 

M. Laitman: Without a doubt.

Student: How, please? 

M. Laitman: Changing reality is possible in only one way, surrendering to the Creator, praying to the Creator. And in this plea, women come before men. 

Student: There is a sensation that the heart is crying. I don't think there's a mother or woman here that's not asking about our people, and that is not asking that Bnei Baruch will attain the Creator. This is something we do every day, hourly. Our hearts want this, that Bnei Baruch will attain the Creator. That we will be able to make a good change to the world, to be a covenant to the light. What should we do, Rav, you lead us, we need advice. 

M. Laitman: But when I speak from within the heart until it comes to the mouth, until it goes outside, and goes through the air to you, and enters you, and falls there into your body. And all the mechanisms of hearing, and feeling, and the heart, and the mind, everything gets spoiled along the way. Everything becomes spoiled but each of us, each and every one of us, if he engages in it, we will be able to speak from one heart and feel in one heart, each and every one.

Student: We are very fortunate to have Tens, and I believe in this force. It's a great force. How not to miss this opportunity, this time that the world needs us. 

M. Laitman: Try. This is exactly the time of prayer, love, connection. We have to raise our MAN. 

Student: We feel your heart, we feel your great desire for our success and we as well want to give you contentment.

M. Laitman: To me? Well, if you want, then direct it to me but basically, we need to aim only for the Creator. 

Student: We will aim together as one woman, aim to the Creator. Help Bnei Baruch attain You, and help us make a change in the world for You, together.

Student: (01:02:23) My question is: We made a preparation with an article by Rabash, and every time I read it, I have a question. What comes first, confidence to light, or light to confidence? How shall we transfer what we get from the Ten into something we do in the corporeal world? I feel there is a gap between what I feel in the Ten and what I feel outside. I want some of this influence in the environment I live in and I'm not sure that it always passes through. How do I take this confidence, outside? How do I convey it, this feeling, this special feeling that we have here in Bnei Baruch, in my Ten, in my true home, to the world where I live in? Where I come across a lot of people and I want to give this to them. 

M. Laitman: You can convey only through an instrument, and the instruments are articles of Rabash, the ones that are suitable for the audience you are speaking to, you are turning to. But this is the only way you can move people slowly, gradually, and bring them to a state where they feel how they become a pipeline. Where, on one side, a prayer to the Creator comes through them, and from the Creator comes the answer to the prayer to all the people in the world. This is what we need to do. 

Student: (01:04:36) My question is: In part of my practice, I saw many soldiers, warriors. Since the war, I have been exposed to strength that I haven't seen before. There is something very, very obsolete about how they want to fight and help. As a woman, I can't do this, I am busy, I have children, my family comes first. Is this war revealed the potential of men to a connection that is different? A connection that I'm not sure a woman can reach? That's the question.

M. Laitman: Yes, despite all the problems and troubles, every problem, every affliction opens a place in the heart from which a person feels such phenomena that bring him closer to correction. We cannot measure in the way these troubles and how much they help us approach the end of correction. But they connect us, these troubles connect us to a great extent. And I am very hopeful that we will soon complete this measure that we have to feel, and then everything will stop. 

Student: (01:07:24) We say that we will change reality if we connect between us more. Does everyone in her heart, is there something else that opens our heart? Or do we have to invest our efforts and scrutinize what opens every friend's heart so we can advance, and proceed together? 

M. Laitman: The hearts are open from above. This is why when we connect men, women, children, it does not matter in what language. But when we turn to the Creator, from the Creator, each one gets his own activation. And this is how we come to the right state. 

Student: The question is, if everyone has the stony heart and a different key to her heart in the Ten, do you mean that this is not the direction? Do we need something more general? 

M. Laitman: The upper light opens everything.

Student: We need to strengthen our breath to open our hearts because we don't know what's the individual key of everyone. 

M. Laitman: The key is the love between us. If there is love between us, then the love opens all the hearts, connects all the hearts, enters everyone, and by this, we succeed.

Student: But everyone has a different level of love. So how do we? 

M. Laitman: It is not important, it does not matter. Our qualities are also never similar, and this is how it works.

Student: Exactly, this is why I thought maybe we need to research different places.

M. Laitman: No, no, no, no, no, not through the intellect. 

Student: (01:09:48) I didn't plan this, but the lesson I understand, everything my friends are feeling about the situation. I feel that, on the other hand, we have a great privilege of a special day with Rav, and Women's Day. That we need to uplift the spirit and be grateful about this special opportunity. I have a role on the campus and when I sit there, I think, I sometimes think, does Rav know what is happening? All these young people who yearn and they open a video, and they are looking at it. They are excited about it, and they see your students that convey what they learned. I'm 15 years in the path and I'm impressed of the women's work. How to grow or raise men that convey this Torah in a very interesting and spectacular way. We are very fortunate, we have a big Kli, and we have a great way to spread the word. Your students are giving contentment to the Creator. I heard your heart when you said that your heart hurts and I want to tell you that you deserve to hear about this empire that exists in this world, and convey this holy light on, sacred light on.

Student: (01:11:55) We are approaching a holiday of Purim. This is the happiest holiday for our people. But we lost our joy and I hear that all of us came with a broken heart, but I want not to lose the joy. I want to convey the happiness, not only here, I want to convey to my family, to my grandchildren. How do we approach this holiday, not externally with the masks on our face? How do we reach justification and joy? 

M. Laitman: We will learn, we will learn together what is the meaning of Purim, and how we can approach the content of Purim. And then we will know how we can influence and how we can receive through the state of that festival. 

Student: (01:13:15) First of all, I would like to thank all brave, beautiful women who are here who dare to put their hearts on the table. And I would like to do something small, as well. To come from the corporeal, I think from here, from the organization, a woman can be more in the front with simple things. I don't see women reading, I don't see women in the first tables or lines. So, I'm asking firstly, why? Maybe it's a tradition but we are in times of crisis, and crisis is an opportunity to correct. Maybe it's time to make a change here now. 

M. Laitman: This depends on the learning, on how much each woman has this charge. Of all the books we have printed and all the lessons we have given. Do women have this so they can be at the forefront? I do not know, we need to ask.

Student: I see the deficit women have here. 

M. Laitman: What can you suggest to the management? 

Student: Fifty-fifty? 

M. Laitman: What do you want, to open classes for women? To open, I do not know what to do. We, I think, are doing from, wall-to-wall, everything we can. Tell us what more?

Student: A woman cannot read just to read? 

M. Laitman: What do you mean not to read, of course, she can. 

Student: So, why isn't it happening? To read in front of everyone. To read in the lesson, to read in the conventions. 

M. Laitman: In lessons, no. That was the custom for thousands of years, and I am unwilling to change it. 

Student: You don't want to read? 

M. Laitman: No, no, no. Let us not start revolutions here. Let us not begin revolutions here, alright? Rather, to the extent that women want to get into more serious lessons, accordingly it will be possible to weigh, to consider what format it will take. In the meantime, I do not know, I cannot tell you. We have problems with children, with learning many things where we cannot, we do not know how to organize it correctly. 

Student: (01:17:35) I have a question, maybe I'm wrong. There are many people here sitting. Do you see how it looks and how it was before when there was music and we were all together? To sit for three hours or even during the day one hour, there are people that it's hard for them. Maybe we can have a little break for some movements. I remember, and from the back, think about it, people come here in their cars for traveling for hours and they have to go back. You will see when the music will play, you will see a different connection. Maybe it's not an inner connection but please correct me, if I'm wrong.

Reader: Let's keep the silence in the hall. Please, the lesson is continuing, let's keep it quiet. Let's listen to every question.

Student: (01:19:00) I feel that we need to read the segment with the right intention that we all have in our hearts. From the words of the Kabbalists that knew how to put things into words.

M. Laitman: Well, I have, before me, an article by Baal HaSulam, Gilad also has something in front of him. 

Reader: The article is “Confidence is the Clothing for the Light.”

M. Laitman:  So Rabash writes what he heard from Baal HaSulam, “Confidence is the Clothing for the Light called Life.”

There is a rule that there is no life without a vessel. It follows that the light, called the light of life, cannot clothe but must dress in some Kli, the vessel. The Kli where the light of life is clothed is usually called confidence. It means that he sees that he can do every difficult thing.” That is it, this is what we need, to come to a state where I am certain that, thanks to the lights that pass through us, we are ready to go through all the roads, all the trails. And we will reach the right place. Look, I lived with Rabash and with other veteran disciples of Baal HaSulam, and what do I want to say? Perhaps I look like a dinosaur, too, already, but I am willing to listen. If there is a way, a possibility to change the study, the order of the study, the approach to the study, lessons. Then, by all means, let us do it now if it is possible. Especially when I am no longer here, I do not want it to become too much of a mess. So the choice is in your hands. 

Student: (01:22:40) Is it possible that as long as the man does not enter the spiritual world, he will not be as sensitive to women as you are? 

M. Laitman: Perhaps, perhaps. So they need to be pushed very quickly into spirituality.

Student: That depends on an inner feeling of the man? 

M. Laitman: It depends on the pressure that the woman puts on him. It is thanks to righteous women. 

Student: What do the men need to hear the women? 

M. Laitman: That, too, the woman should do.

Student: (01:24:04) You said a very important thing if you want to make, to give us, make order for when you will be gone. I want to say, that there is no such thing that we will need to reach the end of correction when you're not with us. In spirituality, there is no time and it can happen now. And all the women that come here, they have real passion. Everyone does her work and we all together work and there is no reason. On top of all the pressures outside and the war, there is no reason that, in this Saturday, this day is the beginning of a new month that we have. In this month, we will celebrate Purim so this is the holiday, the most important holiday for Israel. We were not ready before in Yom Kippur. We couldn't be happy on Simchat Torah. But now we can be in the right form to be happy in Purim. Tonight, there is a beginning of a new month, and so the question is. I'm sorry if I'm rude, can we ask now to raise a common prayer to pressure the man because we always go back to that, they cannot move with us. So we will not move until this happens. You will be our partner in all this experience because you deserve it, you have done all the paths. Unlike Moses, you will enter with us to the land of Israel now. 

Student: (01:26:12) First, I would like to say that I'm grateful to be part of the deficit of all these women. Not only today but every day, we include ourselves in this, in our Tens, with our people, in the world, all around the world. I wonder because when we learn the Rabash articles, it feels like Rabash leads us to this right deficit that we need to attain. From day to day, from article to article, it opens. What is the point that we need to reach? The question is, is there a point that we need to focus on that we need to attack on so that everything we demand and that we want, that everything will be corrected. That we will get all the abundance that the Creator wants to give us? 

M. Laitman: Yes, I think we've already come to a stage where we can raise a prayer for salvation, yes, it all depends on our hearts. To the extent that we succeed in connecting them and rising to the Creator.

Student: From what I hear from you, so as you explained, that on the way from your mouth to my ear, it goes through spoiling. I want to ask, what is this salvation, what are those hearts? I don't even know how to express this, I don't even have inside what you said.

M. Laitman: Connection, connection of the hearts. This is what we need. And then, in this structure, we will receive everything. 

Student: When you say connecting the hearts, and I hear and read with all of the Kli and we read Rabash, that is the complete form of reaching a Kli of bestowal. I don't feel the need, a real need, between reaching bestowal and connecting the hearts. It sounds like two different things, although I know they're not. Is it another language to express it, or is it the same way? 

M. Laitman: I do not understand you. 

Student: We read in the articles of Rabash every day, and in every article, he writes about the complete need that a person needs to reach this, that the Creator will change his Kli to bestowal. When you say connect the hearts, it's the same? 

M. Laitman: Yes, of course, of course. How is that not clear? The only connection of the hearts, this is what helps us and lifts us out of all the shells and the desires of this world, and elevates us, raises us to Ein Sof. Only the connection of the heart, and heart, and heart, and heart, and heart and likewise all of them.

Student: All our deficits, the war, the war, health, violence, the hostages, this will fill all these deficits? 

M. Laitman: Yes, I guarantee you. This is how it should be, this is how it will be. It depends only on us raising MAN, from us directly to the Creator. 

Student: (01:30:53) If a woman studies for 10, 20, 30 years and her husband does not awaken to spirituality, what does it mean? 

M. Laitman: This is already not a blemish, not a fault in her or in her connection with the group or with him. It is a spiritual disconnection, a higher one, a higher spiritual disconnection. You need to let him be. It is enough that she is learning, it will spread.

Student: It means it belongs to the root of his, the source of his Neshama? 

M. Laitman: Yes. 

M. Laitman: Okay, what can I tell you in conclusion? Today is a spiritual festival, yes, March 8th. And we will continue and study and correct ourselves. And understand more deeply and more broadly what we are saying, and what Kabbalists want to convey to us. In this way, we will advance. I'm sure that very, very soon, we will have before us such, how should I put it? Such, advanced, opportunities. In short, everything is right before us and soon. I really hope that we will finish this conflict in Gaza. And the conflict with all those camps in Israel, the factions in Israel that are all disputed. And hope that everyone will come back home and all of us will be granted, seeing peace in Israel. 

Student: (01:34:12) We're continuing it now. To the women in the Tens, our event isn't over. Now we're going to a very central part of our meeting today. We're going to conclude this event together. Rav told us throughout the meeting, that this is the time for prayer, for love, for connection. We have to raise our MAN, let's make an agreement between us, that all of us throughout the next week or two, will build a prayer and each one will send it to their group and to the center of the group. During the workshop in the Ten, every Ten builds a prayer from the common heart and passes it on to Board World Kli on the workshop question.
