Part 3:

Baal HaSulam. Matan Torah [The Giving of the Torah]. #4

1.R. (00:11) Yes, we are repeating, going over the same article, Matan Torah, so that it’s clear what is the Torah demanding from us and how much we are obligated to keep it, to uphold it if we want to feel and be closer to the Creator.

Reading (00:31 - 03:39) #4 “And if this is still not enough for you, I will tell you that the simple explanation of that Mitzva of loving your fellow person is even harsher..”

2. S. (03:42) It's written here: “to fill the needs of his friends like the needs of himself, say “because it is happy with you” like regarding a Hebrew slave”. What, I need to see what is written here and concern for someone?

R. You don't need anything, he explains to you how the system, the upper system, is built, the system to which we will have to come closer. And that we will have to take upon ourselves this system, this build, so that she, it brings us to the corrected state in which we’re all our existing as parts in an integral system. And despite that everyone has ego opposite of everyone else, we raise above this ego and connect between us to be ‘as one man in one heart’, and you have no way to avoid this, rather you will get blows until you agree to this.

S. What, you need to give the needs of your friend in matter also or just in spirituality?

R. Anything

S. What does that mean?

R. Anything until the dedication of the soul.

S. Also to materialistically help him, if the friend is missing something?

R. He gives you an example with the pillow, what do you want?

S. Wait, if a friend is missing what to eat, doesn’t have food to make it through the month, I have to give him money to help him?

R. At the end of the day, you have to be concerned about everything.

S. Truly that way, interesting, because you always that it’s all in the thought, I don’t actually have to give him money to make ends meet?

R. This depends on the periods we go through but in the real corrections, we're going to have to give everything of ourselves to fulfill for the other.

S. Nice, it’s the first time I’m hearing that we have to take care of the material as well as because we never talk about that, what a friend is missing.

R. We are talking about the future that correctly states that he will be

S. Truly that way, nice, we will advance, thank you very much.

3. S. (06:36) It is written, “and if he doesn’t lay on it and also doesn’t give it to his slave, that's the Sodomite rule, what's the sodomite rule?

R. It is not a good measure because it’s not for myself and not to others. To others, he is unable to give because it's his, and to himself he’s shy to use it because others are going to say that he is an egoist, so not them and not to myself.

Reading (07:15 - 08:50) #5 “We must first understand why the Torah was given specifically to the Israeli nation and not to all the people in the world equally..”

4. R. (08:53) Meaning there are such questions over here that we cannot answer, yet; so he continues and he gives an explanation.

Reading (09:03 - 13:18) #6 “But when we fully understand the essence of the Torah and Mitzvot that were given to us, and their desired purpose,..”

5. R. (13:20) Meaning that all of the spiritual matter before us, stands before us to each and everyone of us and all of us together, and it acts on us, the spiritual world, for us to want at the end to receive it, to connect to it, to rise to Him and be really included inside the spiritual world, this is our future.

6. S. (14:10) “The Creator gave it to every nation and tongue, and they did not accept it”, what does this mean?

R. They couldn't receive because they are, they were in a desire to receive in order to receive and couldn't understand it is spoke about the desire to bestow.

7. S. (14:43) The article actually said that the Torah was given to the nation of Israel and the men there could not accept it, and as I listen today, my heart keeps, there’s something in me that feel very agitated, and I don't know, I feel very angry. Why did the Creator create a world where a whole mass of people couldn't accept it and just give it to small portion of people in the world. And what is our duty to make sure that the rest who may want to accept this to come closer to the Creator at some point in the future?

R. First of all, we need to understand what is the Torah, itself; it is the means and a very not simple one, to the entrance to the spiritual world. Whoever enters first absorbs blows throughout his entire history, more than anyone, and the in the end, all of humanity, according to its Reshimot, the spiritual genes in each and every nation, enter to the spiritual world coming closer to the Creator and connects to Him, and that's it.

8. S. (16:45) If, in the group, we try to connect, to annul and to implement the mitzvot and give this pillow to one another so in such conditions I can't even receive the pillow or the table?

R. All the people in the world who will be able to receive through you, you receive to the Creator and pass it to all the people in the world.

9. S. (17:28) My attitude to the Hebrew slave and to the friend later, eventually the correction is such that I need to relate to the Hebrew slave in the same way?

R. Yes, to everyone you have to treat the same, equal way.

S. So one that has his employee, how does he relate to him like a friend?

R. He has to treat it like a friend both the slave and everyone, he treats like the Creator, that’s it.

Reading (18:27 - 20:25) #7 “But here came the sages of The Zohar and asked why we were not created in this high stature of Dvekut with Him to begin with..”

10. R. (20:30) Okay, we will advance until here because Letter eight, number eight, we have to explain properly.

11. S. (20:40) When I look at the fruits of the labor of my friends, so there's a shame that bothers the connection?

R. I don't know what you mean, I don't understand what you mean?

S. No translation

R. Shame, no, he's telling you about what he, what he’s writing that whoever receives from his friend is ashamed by him.

12. S. (21:38) We're not here to give money, apartments or cars to people, we're here to give our whole souls, also my soul is not for me it’s for everyone, is that correct?

R. Correct, correct, we hope that we will be able to reach that way to the state where we are ready to the devotion of our soul and in the connection between us, we will reveal the complete connection.

13. S. (22:21) “Therefore He left the room to get to get our desirable state”. Meaning the whole creation, they come and say, “remove this bread of shame”, that's what the whole story is, that you were in the place like you should?

R. Yes.

S. And everything is just based on that verse.

R. I don't know, why do you stick me whatever you want?

S. No, he writes that “here ourselves, we will get our desirable state through the work in Torah and mitzvot”. Meaning all of creation was created so that we will be able to remove the bread of shame from life?

R. Yes.

14. S. (23:11) It turns out that we don't have anything to correct but the bread of shame, the feeling of shame?

R. That's right the feeling of shame is a sign that we feel ourselves guilty.

S. If so, can you explain what is the meaning that Rabash writes that “shame is a creation of its own”?

R. I'm not sure what you mean.

S. It's not so clear how to relate to the shame: from this excerpt he's now concluded something and you say that there's nothing to correct the shame, but we say that shame is the sensation of a difference between the created being and the Creator.

R. Right.

S. But after all, we talked earlier that shame is a gift from the Creator, that we have to merit to receive it, we come to this before we get this gift called ‘sahme’.

R. Before we sense shame we are in a state of an animal and we have nothing to correct, only two move forward until we begin to feel shame on a human level. Animals do not feel shame, don't turn red, only people feel shame.

15. S. (24:59) How would you recommend for us to go through the minutes that remain until the convention?

R. I don't know but you have someone who manages these things, all of you are in a very sharp state, I would gladly enter between you silently in a way that you won’t see me and I won't be seen or known about, just to be included with you, and hear what you are preparing and speaking about. The power of the connection of women is much more powerful and even from the connection of men, so what I'd recommend doing is to read a variety of things that can awaken in the heart; not challenging, not difficult but understood to all for them to enter the heart and the mind directly. That you will know that you will need to be closer to one another and to such a degree that there will be no empty space between you and you are prepared to receive all of your friends between you. And it depends on how much you want to be in this embrace, that's it.

S. I wanted to ask, yesterday, we did a preparation for many hours for the convention and suddenly there was this sensation that there's this glass ceiling that we cannot break through.

R. Excellent!

S. It is like, what will help? We don't want to be just another event, I don't know how to express in words, this yearning of the Women’s Kli.

R. Only the Creator can do it, which is why what you need to do is only to ask of Him connection between you and with the Creator is what will solve everything. And the entire world is waiting for that, as it says, “thanks to righteous women Israel is coming out of Egypt”, the same way through the righteous women who demands righteousness, will be able to come out of our Egypt which is the entire world, look what's going on in the world. So we are anticipating and I'm speaking on behalf of all men, we are expected from you this action of connection that, just like in the exodus from Egypt, Miriam took the women with all of the instruments, they went I'm paved the way and this is what you need to do. I am very hopeful that you will be successful and we will support it as much as you want.

S. What happens in the upper world when there’s such a women’s convention?

R. A great anticipation, a great anticipation because they upper worlds have nothing other than a state, a sharp state that they're missing MAN from those who are dwelling below, and to anticipate to receive help, and you can do this. I'm very happy that we have serious woman who can awaken the Creator to help all of us.

S. Yesterday you said the men “watch over the women”, what do you mean with this?

R. For them to be able to strengthen you and to give you support, because women in many aspects, I see they are uncertain of themselves and this seems to me very, not right. We see that when a woman feels herself as the boss, she organizes everything: she organizes the house, she feeds everyone, she cleans, cooks, she does all of it. The women, the men only bring the strength, let's save money, and this strength is without clothing in an action. The woman for example takes that money and does from it whatever is necessary, to buy food, to arrange everything, meaning a woman manages, in essence, she is called ‘the owner’.

S. Women feel really strongly the human suffering, very powerfully, can we use that feeling in this convention, what should we do with it?

R. Yes, in our world and you are a global, international group, our world is it the states that are very unhealthy and unstable. The connection between women can help and correct the world, and other than that, we are not missing a thing. I will tell you, imagine to yourself, women in the world are the majority, it’s the majority, if they wanted to come out against men, the men would annul, they would annul.

S. We really feel this, you said earlier, we’re insecure, how to give them the security that is all in their hands?

R. This is our work this is our work that needs to show itself at the end of correction during our time precisely. Women, women are the one able to organize everything, the men, the men only know to fight and to do bunch of nonsense, like little kids.

S. Thank you very much for all that you do and for guiding us and to the main group, we thank you very much, we really feel the support, thank you!

R. Big, warm hug to everyone and I ask the men to strengthen the women, to give them everything they need in order to reach the correct organization, warm, tight. And then we will support them and push them to the center of creation. Thank you, all of you, all the best and may we have a beautiful Congress, all the best.
