* Reader reads excerpt #4 twice* (00:23 - 3:03)

17. R. Rav reads: The thatch, Schacht, is the shadow of faith and that’s called faith above reason. Meaning bestowal above the force of reception and how is that possible? I am only made of forces of reception. I cannot be above reception, my body, my structure, nothing will let me do an action without a rationale and here I am required to do actions which are faith above reason. Bestowal above the rational and logic of my will to receive which is opposite of reason. Reason brings into the waste of Barn and Winery meaning in my life, I take what's good for me and I throw away what's not good for me. That's everything from the most subtle thoughts to the most raw actions that is from the perspective of reason, the way the corporeal eyes see it. There is room for Barn and Winery. There are more important things and less important things and some things I don't want to deal with at all and it doesn't bring any profit to my will to receive and this makes a shadow from the waste. Specifically I collect these things that go against my nature and I pay attention to them. I collect them and connect them together and make of them a special structure. I have a house where I live and all my assets are there and my family and all and by its side I build this Sukkah, this small hut. I build it from things that have no logic there, there's no rationale there - it's above reason. This in itself makes a shadow and he sits under it meaning I diminish myself to be even less than all these actions of bestowal and love of others and coming out above reason. That is he makes for himself a seat of all those lowest and worst things and through the waste observes a Mitzvah, a commandant of the Sukkah and through the waste observes the Mitzvah of Sukkah - meaning the Creator tells the person that if you want to reach the correction of the soul you must build these things yourself from the waste of your life. Meaning everything you disrespect and you don't want and what seems unimportant to you. All these things that go against your will to receive, against your ego: collect them specifically and build another house of them and that's called a Sukkah, compared to a building or an apartment. Most importantly derive joy from this Mitzvah, meaning to the extent that I build the Sukkah, this temporary building where I have nothing basically and I collect into it a bit more, and a bit more, a bit more wood, some more branches I collected from all kinds of places. Things that are waste, things people usually throw away. So from such things that a person has no regard for, from that he builds the Kli of faith because faith above reason is called Joy of Mitzvah. Meaning what makes me happy, to be able to rise above my ego, my ordinary state where I'm always running around to serve my ego. Here I am doing the opposite and I come to a state that I suddenly feel that I am free from the ego and I sit specifically in the shadow of the Sukkah, the shade of the force of bestowal and through this force of bestowal I start feeling the whole world, a new world, a spiritual world. It follows that all the quandaries and questions that exist in reality are corrected in the Sukkah because without them it is impossible to make a thatch. Specifically by these questions and problems, resistance, he collects them and even though they go against his rationale and his corporeal ideas, he specifically wishes to act differently. In faith above reason and there he starts discovering the upper world, the spiritual world. I've seen the world and it’s opposite, that's how it's written. We shouldn't disregard corporeality but rather what we do need is to give importance to spirituality. Don't disregard corporeality, keep on working and building and doing your own life and for your relatives and everything. The only problem is you should also give importance to spirituality and that's all and then you will see how much you are awakening the light that reforms and bit by bit it's associating the upper World along with this world and you’ll see how these two worlds can coincide into one reality inside yourself.

18. S. (10:12) Why do I find these actions because I don't feel things are a waste?

R. If you're in the final correction already then this is the way it is. But if you’re not there yet, scrutinize and see you still have waste. Waste means you don't want to observe with respect to connection with your friends, the Creator. When you don't feel these things that they are important.

S. If I can't detect them?

R. Then you're not investing enough forces in order to identify them. Try to connect more and more to your friends and more and more to invest in the correction of the world and see how much you don't want it. Suddenly you have more important things to do so you wait and reject them and these things are called waste. So start putting them above your head as the most important things and from there you can build the Sukkah. You can build a spiritual Kli, your soul that's how you build it. When you start discovering that the correction of the world is more than anything else that you're doing in your life.

19. S. (11:48) Should we give precedence to spirituality over corporeality?

R. That's something you have to reach that you live to obtain the spiritual world and the only reason you need the corporeal world is in order to exist, but the main thing for you is to shift to the spiritual existence. You still live in the corporeal world a number of years and you pass on.

S. So I have to give above reason more importance than corporeality?

R. Yes.

20. S. (12:49) Suppose a person must go to work for many hours during the day but this person knows that the world is suffering because of him- so how is he supposed to behave?

R. As fast as possible to pass on the method of connection to the world - the force of correction to the extent that they can use it - it's like babies and you give them a little bit. If they're grown-ups you can give them more. If they have the understanding, the feeling, explanations and everything is according to the extent of their development. If you love people you’ll know the right way to serve this method of connection to them.

S. Take me for example. I have to go to work for many hours during the day while I'm at work, I know the world is suffering and it's my fault. How do I deal with that?

R. If you're working you can't do anything about it, you have to sustain yourself so you work, but Rabash writes about it, in your free time, that's the main thing when you can recruit yourself to aim yourself to the correction of the world, through your 10, try.

S. It doesn't feel enough now - you have to go sometimes 8 or 10 hours a day and you have two hours for dissemination, it's driving me crazy.

R. I can't tell you - that's the way it is, as much free time as you can dedicate to the correction of the world, to be in connection with your friends, try and be most beneficial in these times.

21. S. (15:27) The Creator has great Mercy, we see how much effort friends put in and I truly see how even great efforts the Rav puts in and I have to say the Creator has great Mercy and such great importance and I think this holiday brings us a taste of thankfulness that we do have a chance together. How can I bring this importance to the friends and to bring this taste of love to humanity?

R. From all your heart if you do it, the Creator will help you to make of it, the right kind of action. Activate your heart as much as possible, open your heart as much as you can to your friends, through the friends to the whole world and the Creator will finish the work. There's a verse that the Creator finishes the work. All we have to do is open our tendency towards correction and Creator does through it by that we are like a conduit.

22. S. (17:26) When I look throughout the day at our friends and our work, I see that I constantly disrespect and slight it. That I have to constantly overcome to build the importance, what is the source of Joy here?

R. You're playing a game with the Creator, like a game of chess you're playing with him. He's against you seemingly, he's against you, it's to teach you how to make moves in spirituality, how to enter the spiritual world so why isn't this making you happy? The whole study is out of making efforts and wanting that understanding and being glad about this process, the main thing is the goal that we're headed to. The fact that you have no joy is considered that you're going into it in an egoistic way - where's my reward? If you're in bestowal, you should enjoy the fact that you're in this process. When a mother gives everything to her baby she enjoys the moment of taking care of him, she's not waiting for him to grow up, she's enjoying it now. Because her bestowal to him, to the baby brings her pleasure, and you don't want to get the pleasure of being on the path. This is considered that your bestowal is not pure because you're asking for reward, but it will pass, you will succeed, I know that.

23. S. (19:36) During the day I go to work and at work I feel like a beast, I connect once a day to the ten, and hardly have meetings and you're saying we have to prefer spirituality over corporeality. It turns out I prefer corporeality to spirituality. I come home in the evening, I get ready for the lesson, but in the lesson I have no fuel to ask for the group, think about the group. What should I correct?

R. What you should do is talk to your group in the evening and to prepare your whole ten for the next day's morning lesson and this is the way you go to sleep - when you're talking to them and preparing your whole ten for the lesson and you're all ready to go into the lessons together tomorrow. Try it and you'll see how much your approach to life is different, you have a different understanding, a different feeling. Spirituality is a feeling, it's not about the intellect it's a feeling and out of this feeling you start understanding what's going on. This is the meaning of the verse “from your deeds we shall know you”, the main thing is to connect your friends so in the morning lesson you're somehow connected and you'll feel a different result of the lesson. Even at night when you're sleeping you're going to feel that you're in the preparation for the lesson. It's in your sleep from above, you'll get these discernments if you make a preparation on their behalf. Try it and then tell us about it.

24. S. (21:45) The US was always the most prosperous state but now it's a barrel of explosives - the country is being shaken up there's never been at least four decades we haven't had that shattering. There's an election coming up and it's going to light up this barrel of explosives. How much depends on us, we really feel like we are in a very special period. In this month some special connection in the American Kli, everybody is super busy, so maybe during this month maybe we disseminate a little less and make more efforts to connect among us, especially connect on the tens, help us focus our efforts?

R. I'm explaining to you what we should do. It's the same method in America as in Israel, the same in the whole world, try to connect between yourselves. You are hundreds of people, maybe even thousands that can awaken the feeling that America is really standing before a really big crisis and wherever there was success and there was a rise to a corporeal height - there you'll find a fall later, that's true. Especially about the American nation, they're not a real nation, they don't have a common background like the Russians do, like the French people do and others. It's a true Babylon, a modern Babylon. That's why if you want to connect this modern Babylon into a society that has order, you need an upper Force, you need a spiritual idea where above our ego we may connect and then we'll be able to reach something. That upper light you need it to come and connect you together and give you a feeling, understanding and some closeness to each other. You have to induce that, but if you Bnei Baruch in America understand the situation, feel the situation and may be connected between yourselves then you can have as much meetings and workshops, actions between yourselves in association.Talk about it, want it and to be connected between yourselves. If you men and women, residents in America can find the common place for yourselves, well then you can draw the light that reforms that will infect the whole American society. If you can't, it will be bad for America and it will be bad for the whole world, meaning we will come closer through the torments instead of through the Torah, through the light. So try to start connecting all the American Bnei Baruch together in order to really have a better situation. Otherwise you understand, I don't need to tell you about it. I said it a few years ago that the worst state will occur where the biggest ego lies. By that Americans may either fall real strongly or on the contrary rise real high. So it's all under, it all depends on you. So start organizing yourselves. You've been learning for more than 10 years with me, come on, finally maybe this is what's going to shake our friends American friends, go ahead. We will only be glad if you start performing actions of connection between you. It's a real big problem, yes, think about it but each one if he says I'm working 10 hours I can't.... excetera, excetera... while there's nothing to do about it. I can't, with all the explanations I gave you now it's standing before this danger in American society, you have to start waking up, you have to start waking up. It's not going to be good, that's for sure because you're going to have riots, you're going to have demonstrations and so many people are not satisfied. Not from this side nor from the other side and the number of arms they have and the nerves there - it's going to be terrible and so many people want this dispute. They want to have a war, within the country, that's why you have to be careful, be cautious. I'm really skeptical about it going on in a nice and easy way, I don't know, I think only one action. The way we learn this is to cause a connection among Bnei Baruch and when Bnei Baruch is connected and we work on connection in a really intense way, and disseminate to the entire American Kli. It doesn’t matter how successful you are. It's an ocean, it's a drop in the ocean but the fact that you're doing it, by that the upper force will make the difference, bestow. A drop of light is enough - as it enters the dark Kli, it will make a change, so come on.

25. S. (28:58) If I don't have questions because I'm small, can I use questions and doubts of the friends in order to build this Schach? The thatch spoken about in the text, where all the questions and quandaries are corrected in the Sukkah.

R. The work in building the Sukkah from your ten that is the work that we need to do, and it doesn't matter if you have questions or you don't have questions, yes or no. Join in and try to connect all your friends to the mutual bestowal, that you’re engaging in connection. Forces of bestowal that is you dealing with the waste because no one wants to bestow. Then when you use that waste, you want to build a connection between you that is called that you're building a Sukkah. This connection is what you want to raise it above your head, that this connection is the most important, most important in all corporeality that means you're building a Sukkah that's it. Do these things and you see as much as you suddenly feel yourself in faith above reason. That this force of bestowal, this above reason, above the force of reason, it's above your head and you'll advance and you'll feel the spiritual world, upper world.

26. S. (31:15) In our reality we build structures and thatch is something that cannot be used. What does it mean to build a Sukkah of thatch in spirituality?

R. You as a building engineer, are asking very nice, so I'll explain to you. You specifically take things that aren’t usually important for a person - which is bestowal, all kinds of actions in relation to the others, to the world, in relation to the ecology, for the animals. All these things. You take all these things that are between man and his friend that usually nobody thinks about them, you see how the world, and it's written somewhere in laws that we need to be nice to each other and every country is concerned about being nice and good, helping other countries. But you know how it's written and nobody pays attention to it but it's written. So we take these things specifically that are clear to us that they are our waste that we don't want to deal with them and we raise them in importance above everything else. That's called that we build the Sukkah or that we build the soul, Neshamah, just like we just read in this excerpt: that the Sukkah is a structure of the Soul we build from the intentions to bestow, the intention to help each other between the friends - in this way when we engage in that, we build the Neshamah. Our soul isn't one person it is ten that are connected together, a Partzuf.

S. In the Sukkah, where there are more people, there is more joy. So how important is it to have the world in the intention while building the Sukkah?

R. That's our soul, if we won't build it we have no part in the upper world. We have no connection with the Creator. Through the structure if we are ten, in the structure of the Sukkah, meaning we have wrapped ourselves in the mutual force of bestowal and we are in it, so there's where we receive the Creator that comes and reveals himself in that vessel in the Sukkah. That's called the Ushpizim, we'll learn about it. From the weekend when we start Sukkot, we’ll scrutinize everyday how we discover, how we reveal the Creator in the Sukkah. Everyday we have a new revelation.

27. S. (35:13) In item four, we read two parts. The first part is about building, raising the Sukkah above our heads and the second part talks about the difficulties or troubles and maybe I didn't understand correctly, how does Sukkah make a solution for our troubles?

R. If we build a Sukkah between us, meaning the force of bestowal so we enter the Sukkan and the Sukkah guards us from everything. It says if we go into the mother, into the womb, into the Creator to the higher degree to Binah, that's the Sukkah.

28. S. (36:13) In the work between us, how much do I need to see the friend as a point in the heart - as a part of the soul with these corporeal traits and qualities?

R. I can't say that all depends on your efforts, the main thing is that you see in him the image of the Creator put before you so you can connect with him as one man in one heart.

28A. S. (36:48) The question is whether the Sukkah is built and destroyed in each degree anew?

R. Nice question, every time a new will to receive awakens in us it's on a new degree. Because the Sukkah isn't built by one person. The Sukkah is built in the connection between us together, that something covers us, a Masach so beneath the Masach we need ten Sefirot and above us will have a Schacht, and we don't want to receive the Light of Chochmah. We reject it, we push it back, we only want to receive the light of Chassidim, our mercy that's our mutual desires when we're beneath the Schach and it turns out that in each and every degree we build the state from new.

*Excerpt#5 Reader (38:17 - 39:50)*

29. S. We saw in corporeality that the Sukkah doesn't protect us from rain, we had to run away from the Sukkah - he writes here that the Sukkah saves you from rain and torrents. Also internally we see that you try to raise the thatch above you but a bit of pressure from corporeality and it disappears.

R. There are rules about it: when you have to leave and when you have to remain in the Sukkah. In the day or in the night there are all kinds of laws about it which are according to spiritual conditions. So we can learn from what they tell us whether to sit in the Sukkah, come out of the Sukkah, to sleep or not to sleep in the Sukkah and so on. We can learn about spiritual discernment from it. We'll learn about it. Whichever way it is, I wouldn't try to see it in corporeality. What do we have from it? So we'll sit inside, we won't sit inside, we will do it in a corporeal way, yes no, let's try and depict in a better way in a spiritual way and then let's say there's rain, so what in there be at such a time in such a period? Rain right, so I guess you can tell you're not ready to go through such corrections so the Creator in such a way takes you out of the Sukkah that you can't sit inside and perform corrections, we will learn it.

*Excerpt Rabash#36 Reader (42:09 - 42:41)*

30. R. Some people just live from facts, what they have before them, that's how they live and they can't rise above to higher discernments, spiritual discernments.

*Reader continues “But one who wishes to be as a vegetative....”(43:00 - 43:10)*

Meaning vegetative, to start growing in spirituality. Whoever's in the corporeal world is called still and whoever starts growing is called vegetative.

*Reader continues “ since the torrent is unsuitable for one who wishes....(43:22 - 44:11)*

Meaning in order to not fall from spirituality - in the bit we attain maybe. So we constantly need the strength and strengthen the thatch, the Masach, the desire to be in faith above reason and that is through the connection between us. That if I connect with the friends, if I disappear in the friends in such a way - I uplift above myself and they help me uplift myself. I enter their thoughts and desires and I disconnect from my ”I”, from myself and this way I start rising more and more in faith above reason. The force of faith, the vessel of faith that's in the friends and if I am in myself so I am in reason, in my ego. That's why in such a way that we are included from one another and we build above us some kind of special force that we all want each one who connects to the others and wants to get his livelihood from being included in the others. So each one from this livelihood he attains from everybody, from those 10 forms of livelihood we gather together from that we build the Sukkah and it covers us, is that clear?

31. WSQ. Try to maybe speak about it: how we build the Sukkah from the connection between us in the ten. That each one of them that is included in his friends, by this he receives the force of faith above reason - above his own reason and then we can connect these forces above each and everyone’s reason. And from that we build the Sukkah, the Schacht that covers us together.

32. R. (51:03) So what's happening here if we summarize: each one should go and connect with his ten - in his ten in order to integrate in them, and obviously these desires are completely not important in him - he doesn't want to do it on behalf of nature, but he does do it in efforts: that's called that he uses the waste. That he doesn't want it but he still does it forcefully and in this way when he connects to the friends, this connection between him and the friend is called building the Sukkah of peace. From all these efforts each one tries to do in the ten, in the end they build the Sukkah, the thatch. They build a mutual Masach that through it they can already be connected to the Creator. Then the Masach they build because it's built above the resistance from everyone and connecting to the group using this the Schach has the general force of the bestowal of the group and then with it, they can connect to the Creator. Then through this schach they start receiving except for the shade which is the light of Chassidim also a bit of the upper light, the light of Chochmah, and from this, in this action they can already start working as a spiritual Partzuf connecting to the Creator - building the connection with Zivug d’Hakaa receiving in order to bestow, that is the process.

33. S. (54:05) When the Masach, the thatch are the most important things - that we raise them as important as the ten above our heads, what are the four walls of the Sukkah?

R. It's exactly Chochmah, Binah and ZA, Malchut who is the last one and above them is Keter. Those are the walls of the Sukkah, the walls of the Kli in order for there to be a Kli - We learned in the first part of TES or maybe in the Preface of the Wisdom of Kabbalah that we cannot be unless the Keter is connected to Malchut through Chochmah Binah and ZA. So that is what sustains the Kli. The Kli is the connection between the Creator and the created being, that's why its’ brought to us: in that depiction of the walls of the Sukkah.

S. What are the walls in the connection between us, I didn't understand: Keter, Chochmah, Binah and the connection between us? What does that mean?

R. It's the qualities that with them we are able to connect, try to connect them and you will see how you build it from your will to receive and your qualities. When you relate to the others you will discover you're connected to them in all kinds of ways called Keter Chochmah Binah ZA Malchut. Also on your behalf and their behalf and all of us together.

S. So the walls too are built from waste basically also?

R . Also the walls are built from waste, the whole Sukkah. The whole spiritual world is built from waste; it's all built from vessels of bestowal and the desire to bestow.

S. In this discernment between the thatch and the walls is: where do I find it in the ten, what is it in the connection between us?

R. If you start working I will be able to explain.

34. S. (56:33) If I'm in a state where I have no way to... nothing to hold onto - not a branch material, matter anything?

R. Do you have a 10.
S. Yes.

R. Did you try to connect with them?

S. Yes.

R. You have a connection? We are building a connection with the ten with the force of bestowal and when I discover that I want to connect with them, while I don't want to connect, that's how I discover waste. I don't want to connect. The waste is called what my will to receive does not want. Then I take all these qualities, all these discernments that my will to receive does not want and specifically from them I put together a connection with my friends above my will to receive. In my tendency to bestow to them and then in this way all us together build the Sukkah.

S. How do you raise it above your head?

R. You raise the waste - is called that you give important to the waste more than all your egoistic desires.

35. S. (58:40) I built this thatch and above the egoistic desire, I build connection with the friends? We build together bestowing to the Creator?

R. That is the same thing. Together we're all egoists in the Sukkah, but from your egoistic will to receive you’re building a resistance to your ego. Raising all the desires to bestow that you found as waste, as resistance. That’s called that you build a Masach, and Ohr Hozer, and through that you connect to the Creator. It turns out that what you’ve built is a Partzuf. This is how it exists with the connection with the Creator.

S. What does it mean that we build reflected light to the Creator?

R. That you want to bestow to Him.

36. S. (1:00:10) In corporeality when we build a Sukkah, we sit there for 10 days. What about building a spiritual Sukkah. Is it a constant process or changes with time?

R. All the way to Gimar Tikkun, what happens afterwards I don’t know. Until Gimar Tikkun we have to keep renewing our vessel. And every time more and more the strength in our Sukkah.

37. S. (01:01:57) Is it possible to understand the degree of Sukkot as searching and asking for a Masach? And if so the feeling in the effort, how personal and how collective it is?

R. When you speak about the degree of Sukkot, it's not just a degree that goes by. It’s a state that we need to build and to remain in it all the time, because we're speaking about our soul - about the structure of the Soul. We were just given an example, an explanation in this world that we take all kinds of branches from trees and build. It's like a nice story but actually what do we need to understand here? We have to take all this waste that man doesn't want, he doesn't want what isn’t good to his will to receive - that’s what he thinks. And from all this waste specifically, we build a spiritual Kli. That's why it says I have seen an upside down World - what isn't important in the corporeal world is in the spiritual world - and the opposite: what isn’t important in the corporeal world is important in the spiritual world and from this we build the spiritual Kli.

38. S. (01:04:15) You discussed the walls of the Sukkah being Sephirot and the entrance to the Sukkah from one of the walls, is it important?

R. Go to the Internet, open something from the Sukkah and you'll see how many laws you have about it. We will be scrutinize these things when we start connecting between the friends then you'll start seeing what you need. Now you're asking where's the wall, where's the entrance, where's the exit, what you need this for? So I'm asking you do you know how to build the soul so ask about your soul not about how to build something as if you're going to truly build it from wood. We're speaking about a spiritual structure that's it, so what's entering a spiritual structure I guess, there's a place in one of the walls, where you can enter and exit what size what height, it all stems from the relationships between the Sephirot because we're building a Partzuf 10 Sephirot, so where it has to be - how the Sukkah has to be directed anyway, I don't want to confuse you. You start seeing this in a purposeful way that you are building then we can talk about it.

39. S. (01:06:46) For instance if I think that that a person doesn't want anything and I want to understand the Creator's intention and this intention of the Creator and disconnect from my intention how to work in the ten for that? Because for now how to see the intention in certain actions?

R. We have a law those who want to seriously enter our organization he has to go through a campus course, where you have to learn and ask your questions and get your answers. Afterwards let's say you get here and you can understand and keep going with us. What you're asking is still related to a beginners group, so you should go there and study.

40. S. (1:08:59) What does it mean and how to relate, if there is a desire to go towards the ten but there are disturbances?

R. It doesn't matter what disturbances we have we have to realize that all these disturbances are coming from the Creator and therefore I have to sort them out whether they are disturbances that belongs to just carrying out my necessities in this world and I have to deal with that. With disturbances there are not so related to spiritual progress with that, I can just put them aside and keep going, that's something we have to sort out and correctly relate to all those things.

*Excerpt #7 Reader (1:10:21 - 1:10:41)*

41. R. Sukkah is from the word Schach, thatch that covers our mind and we can be above our mind and this is what we call faith above reason, there is reason and faith above it. The force of bestowal above the force of reception. In all of my calculations I try to take everything that has to do with the group, my spiritual development, I have to take that with faith above reason with the force of bestowal and the force of reception only supports my act of bestowing.

*Excerpt Letter 12 Reader (1:11:27 - 1:12:18)*

42. R. Meaning that we will receive the revelation of the Creator and not want to use it to our benefit to grab ahold of him in our vessels of reception, on the contrary further and further to bestow to him like he wants to bestow to us and in that way connect.

*Reads again....(1:12:38 - 1:13:21)*

43. S. You were speaking about the livelihood a person gets from integrating with the friends I wanted to ask how to make certain that this livelihood is not within reason?

R. Because if I do it from integrating with others that I integrate in them for the benefit of all of us to build our common vessel then of course it is not in reason it is above reason because in my reason I don't want that. When we begin to build relationships between us seriously we begin to discover how much we reject each other to the point that like students of Rabbi Shimon that we would want to kill each other.

44. S. (1:14:46) I am getting inspiration from the friends what they are saying from what Rav is saying and what you are answering, how can I use this inspiration and how is it connected to building the Masach?

R. I build a Masach from the connection between us where I resist my ego and despite my ego in opposition to my ego I want to connect with the friends and specifically when I try nevertheless and I can't and I ask the Creator and the Creator takes part, this is how I connect to the friends. It turns out that between us is the force of the Creator between me and the friends and this is how I come to the connection between us. This is the true spiritual vessel. from these connections in the ten that is how we build the spiritual Kli. Then with it we can approach and access all of these spiritual space, meaning to attain the Creator. Because spirituality is the upper Force, the force of bestowal when we come to this Kli above our ego being in bestowal we can further connect in the force of bestowal that fulfills all of reality called the upper light, the Creator.

45. S. (1:16:49) Is a Sukkah something that's built and everyone collectively and individually?

R. If I don't connect to the group I can't build a Sukkah, it is the common Kli between me and others by the Creator that gives me the ability to make the thatch and the shade and shines on me through the shade, this roof and I alone cannot do it Towards who and towards what? How can I do it? I need to have someone to do it towards. The Sukkah is a structure that I build on top of the resistance to my will to receive and if I don't have anyone to make this structure towards then I can't build the Sukkah.

S. Regarding the rules of how to build the Sukkah is there a principal of the end result in the initial thought?

R. Yes.

46. S. (1:18:34) He says the gift will not be blemished by shame, why would it be a shame to receive things?

R. No, go ahead, you are known by us as the one who is expecting gifts even though you know it says one who hates gifts will live, you are the opposite.

S. Why should I be shameful about receiving?

R. This I cannot explain to you why you need to have shame if you receive a gift.

S. I will be happy to.

R. If you think you deserve it and you get it from somebody that truly loves you then you're happy because by receiving a gift from someone who loves you you also give him a gift, you give him a good mood, a good spirit.

S. I'm asking because Rabash writes that we can receive the livelihood was out blemishing the gift, so let's say if I don't have shame why am I blemishing?

R. You pay for that with a restriction, a screen and reflected light and then these gifts are not gifts, it is to your benefit, it is to your profit that you take pride in.

S. Should I be careful in what I receive and then to reject it?

R. The wisdom of Kabbalah is entirely built above the will to receive that we don't receive directly in the will to receive but rather use the will to receive in order to build above it actions and intentions of bestowal.

S. So not to receive anything but whatever the Creator gives me to reject?

R. Yes, of course and then do the calculation, can you receive it in order to bestow, like the guest who is sitting at the table of the host according to Baal HaSulam’s example.

S. Is there a shame against the friends....

R. It depends towards who...

S. Is there a shame in the ten between us should I be embarrassed by getting something form the ten?

R. Why not?

S. Because it's my ten, why should I be embarrassed about receiving anything from them?

R. If it is a baby towards its mother or even an older child then he demands because he has towards his mother about a possession, he demands and it is acceptable because he depends upon her still. To the extent that he disconnects from the mother he cannot come with demands to her.

S. If someone from the friends and the ten wants to give me something I have to resist in receiving it?

R. You need to do the calculation of why does he give you and how and so on, I understand that the ten is giving to you because they want to show you an example so that maybe you can also give something to someone.

47. S. (1:22:12) How do you build a Sukkah in happiness and pleasure?

R. If we do it together, then it gives us pleasure and joy that we advance to the Creator that we build the spiritual vessel. The corrected ten is called a Sukkah, what do you want? We don't build anything here, we don't build a palace here, the ten that way build toward us, the force of bestowal because we're all desires to receive, the force of bestowal that we build is a bubble that we are in, that is called Sukkah. Why? Because it covers our ego and then through that, through the thatch through the Masach, we can connect to the Creator.

*Excerpt 9 Letter 36 Reader (1:23:22 - 1:23:58)*

48. R. Those who want to bestow are like the moon?

*Reader continues” and the nations of the world are like the sun...”(1:24:08 - 1:24:24)*

R. Meaning the law of the spiritual vessel is at the cover has to be over all of the will to receive and there cannot be part of the will to receive without a cover, this is called a flawed Kli and it will cause a general shattering. So in each and every will to receive there has to be a restriction and Masach, screen and then we can work with the vessel in order to bestow.

50. S.(1:24:53) Is there a condition to enter the Sukkah or once we have the structure it can cover all?

R. When you enter the Sukkah it is an imagined thing that we build between us meaning it is a force of bestowal between us and if it exists between us then a person can only come to it if he is invited. This is what it's called a guest who has the proper force of the screen so he doesn't cause any damage to the Sukkah so that we don't suddenly get such a will to receive from him without a cover of the screen so those who are admitted into the Sukkah or only those who can connect to us to the same ten. It could even be a thousand people but they all have to be connected together above their ego and then they can be under the same screen in the same Sukkah. This is what we want to see in the final correction and this is called the Sukkah of peace that there is a complete connection between us, Shalom, peace comes from the word shlemut which means wholeness and then we all sit together in the Sukkah In a common meal and we will eat a whale there. A whale represents all of the great will to receive created by the Creator week and then eat it in order to bestow, meaning that we have the force and the screen and the ability to even put an intention of bestow over that great desire, final correction. And it all belongs to the sukkah of peace.

S. I'm asking because of the conquest of Sukkot is that we want to build the sukkah of Peace so that it will cover the world so the world is supposed to feel something I have like an interaction between them or does it work from above?

R.From our efforts there will definitely be a change in the world will it know where it's coming from and what it is I don't think so, not yet but through our Unity we can cause great shock to the world towards connection with everyone and with the Creator. That we can do, we have to do it. Also from each and every lesson what we are talking about is the general connection, the general correction the sukkah of Peace over everyone but general Masach for all humanity and we see how much Humanity needs it today.

S. So if I, I'm like a child so what is the minimum thing that I need to bring to the sukkah that will hold me there under the massage?

R. To integrate with the friends and be with them as one man and one heart in mutual bestowal in that you will establish such a force a unique force between you that you can also influence other tens, to integrate with them under a single screen more and more tens that will connect and ultimately there will be one ten, ten Sephirot, but it consists of such secondary partzufim that ultimately we all connect like that.

52. S. (1:29:32) We said that the guests that there are two conditions that are actually one, that the guests are the ones who were invited and he was invited because he has a suitable screen that he can connect with them.

R. Yes.

S. So if I try to take this corrected state to us we have guests in our ten sometimes or where guests another tens and it is not necessarily that we know how to measure the screen

R. Try to connect as if you are in a single ten, that's it.

53. S. (1:30:20) The basic structure of a spiritual Partzuf is Tzimtzum, Masach and Ohr Chozer, so what is the difference between Sukkot and any other day?

R. The sukkah is a complete structure of a spiritual Partzuf which has built itself, 10 people built that spiritual Partzuf and they hold on to it in order to bestow and mutuality and out of that to bestow to the Creator. It is just Partzuf. and in the meantime it is been stowing in order to bestow they are still under the thatch with a bit of Illumination from above through the thatch so there is no great light influencing them yet but just a bit of how much they can receive in order to bestow from the upper light it is Partzuf that begins its correction this way. When people begin to connect a neutral guarantee they come to this structure called Sukkah don't think it is a sukkah in a sense that we need to build it with our hands, we need to build it from within from our hearts from our desires, connecting together in mutual bestowal and from us to the Creator that is all. There is no more than that here we are just giving examples from this world so that we can further explain these things because in spirituality we don't yet have any discernment.

S. What is the difference between Sukkot and a regular day?

R. It is the same work, no difference except in our life there is a specific time when we mention and talk about it but it is the same work, every day all the time, all year until the final correction just building a greater Sukkah each time, stronger bringing in more and more people of the world into it until we all sit under it and eat the whale. The whale means the great will to receive created by the Creator where we can use it in order to bestow. To eat it and by that to bring contentment to the Creator.

54. S. It turns out that Ohr Chochmah isn't something that we're concerned about in our daily work so it's only a cover, the shade?

R. We are caring about building the vessel of bestowal that main thing is the bestowing like the guest that sits in front of the host who makes the restriction over himself even though he really wants to eat and he makes the calculation how much does he want to bestow to the host, he checks himself and examines activates himself a little bit more, a little bit less. So there are small desires to receive and small refreshments, let's say he accepts some water, some juice some vegetables that is called receiving lights of Nefesh or Ruach, Neshamah but even just vessels of bestowal not vessels of reception. Then in this way he begins to enter and then even in bestowing and receiving in order to bestow he is with the host this is what we learned, what do you see new here?

S. You're just saying that when we build the schach not a lot of light goes through?

R. To the extent that we can receive in order to bestow which is a very thin line opposite the great circle that is all that we can receive until the final correction. Until then it is just a very thin line.

S. It turns out that even in general even our work towards the friends we start feeling or understanding something we don't pay attention to it, just loving the Creator and working in bestowal.

R. We have to receive these things in order to bestow but compared to the great vessel that has not been opened yet and the great upper light that hasn't been revealed we are just in a very thin line that transmits and illumination from above and that is NRNCHY (Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah, Chayah, Yechidah) we think about it as great but it really is just a thin line we will come to that and then we can even go higher.

*Excerpt 10 Reader (1:38:00 - 1:38:28)*

55. R. This is called that there's mercy on him he can't shatter, he can’t receive the great light so it's hidden from him.

*Reader continues (1:38:40 - 1:39:25)*

R. There's a game here between the Creator and the created beings, the Creator always protects the created being just like we protect a child not letting him fall or go into a danger but just allowing him to develop safely. Sometimes we allow him to move forward and to make a step and make his own efforts, other times we keep him safe and not allow him to make steps on his own. Same thing with the Creator every moment we are protected from above only according to our efforts according to how much we can connect in the ten accordingly we will receive from the Creator more and more opportunities to advance. Only according to how much we connect with the ten, how much he wants to attain the force of mutual guarantee and accordingly we can receive from him more and more steps forward. So ultimately with regards to Sukkot and anything else that we talked about in the end of our work is in the ten, it is just a specific form of connection in the ten is called Sukkah.
