Question: People come to Kabbalah with a point in the heart but few realize it. What does it depend on?

Answer: When a person comes to Kabbalah, one is in a state of confusion. On one hand it is said that the whole light is in the Torah, but to the contrary, they get the impression that there is no light in it for them.

Therefore, while studying it, they must be carried in the arms of their friends, who will revive, uplift, and pull them forward, and in this way, they will gradually be able to attain spiritual lights.

Question: Can we accelerate exiting descents by observing commandments in the corporeal world, in addition to studying and our connection?

Answer: I don’t know what you mean. In our world observing commandments is what we learn in the wisdom of Kabbalah: receiving the Creator’s light and getting closer to Him to bring Him contentment.

Question: When the Torah becomes the potion of death, should we try to avoid this state since we cannot immediately form the right intention? Or does this state come as a result of serious mistakes?

Answer: No, these states come from great effort and deep prayer.

Question: What does it mean to act on our own when there are doubts in decision-making?

Answer: You should act according to your spiritual state, and everything will work out for you.

Question: What is missing in longevity that exists in eternity?

Answer: In longevity, there is still unfinished work, while in eternity, this work is complete.

Question: If a ten already feels like it is in a state of dust, where should it start to rise?

Answer: From lifting itself from the dust, meaning by adding more and more desire to bestow, to fill, through actions and prayers, and thus elevate itself.

Comment: In order to understand The Study of the Ten Sefirot, a person must at least fully know Pticha (“The Introduction to the Wisdom of Kabbalah”). Currently, not many graduates of KabU and MAK have completed all of Pticha. So what we are studying seems like a set of words to them.

My Response: I think the most important thing for us is to go through the texts written by Baal HaSulam and delve as little as possible into various explanations. The main goal is to feel the flow of thought. From there, we will try to grasp the understanding of the actions of the Partzufim. It is not that difficult.

I would suggest making a brief summary after each lesson, with or without a diagram, specifically indicating which forces act on the Partzuf and what it performs under their influence. After that, it will become easier.

Question: How do you know where the limit of your efforts is? It seems there is always room to add more.

Answer: It is always good to add, but it is important to clearly define how immersed I should be in the material, how much I implement it in connection with my friends, how much I give to my family, and how I handle my work. Everything should be organized. This stems from the fact that we are living in this world. You must establish these things for yourself.

A person must feel a sense of responsibility toward his or her family and never reject the idea of building one. This is a fundamental condition for men. In fact many Kabbalists did not accept bachelors as students. To those who strongly desired to study Kabbalah, they would say, “Go get married, and then come back.”

It was this way with Baal HaSulam. A person could not become his student until the day after his wedding. And there was no talk about women at that time. Today we accept both men and women. Keep in mind that having a family is a requirement for men and is desirable for women.

Rabash was also strict with bachelors; he demanded they resolve this matter within a month or two.

We must fulfill all the conditions of a spiritual society, and it is represented in the form of a family. The Creator views the family unit—husband, wife, and children—as His creations. Based on this, He elevates them to a spiritual degree.
