Part 1:

Rabash. Article No. 7, 1986. The Importance of a Prayer of Many

1.Rav’s Introduction: (0:34) We've learnt about the importance of prayer. The prayer of the person is probably insufficient and there's a special force in the importance of the prayer of many. Meaning there’s a concept of man, the Ten and the many. Let's see what's the difference between them and how do we come through adhesion between us, internally to the prayer of many. Please.

Reading Article 7. (01:37) “It is written in ‘The Zohar,’ come and see..”

2. S. (33:05) A lot of material all at once, he says, a vessel that is imperfect, all the abundance goes to the external ones but if there’s no prayer of many, there is no wholeness in the vessel. What is the wholeness or completeness of the vessel so that there will be a desire that will reach wholeness?

R. A complete vessel meaning that it can open itself completely and receive all the lights that the Creator wants to give to the created beings.

S. Then it says when a person has true pleasure he never thinks about it, so what does it mean true pleasure from that vessel?

R. No, it's not about the same state, he says that if any person has true pleasure then he is willing to take it all. It all depends on the pleasure and he doesn't check how much importance of connection with the Creator he has.

S. What is the prayer of many? What do I have to do in the prayer of many?

R. The prayer of many is the prayer that one prays for all of his desires to be for the many, for the whole.

S. Is it a natural thing? I’m capable of doing it?

R. It seems that you are.

S. I don’t have the desire to pray for others, I pray for myself, generally speaking.

R. You’re still there

S. In the prayer I am in trouble I have to come out of my trouble. How will I think about the others?

R. But how do you have any trouble about yourself?

S. Because I see that I'm in trouble.

R. What kinds of trouble?

S. All kinds of daily problems.

R. I see that you’re getting fat from day to day.

S. Yes, I’m trying to lose weight but nothing works. But naturally speaking, you come to the Synagogue to pray…

R. To the Synagogue, that’s a different thing.

S. It’s also an assembly. But you think, how do I come out of the state that I’m in?

R. Why do you want to always want to escape the states that you are in?

S. Then why would a person pray?

R. I think that one should pray because he wants to use the state that he’s in, that he believes that he received it from the Creator to use that state to get closer to the Creator, because in that he certainly stops thinking about himself and he only thinks about the others and he thus resembles the Creator.

S. Who can help me reach that stage that you were talking about, because naturally you’re not there, you’re not doing it?

R. Your thought which does the calculation of what can I do in the present state. Only to ask for the deficiency to pass through me, all that is needed for fulfillments and corrections to the whole.

S. Short question,

R. No, no short question, tell me what you understood from what I said.

S. You have to pray for others before yourself; not just when I come here but in general I will always be in that, right, but naturally a person doesn’t think of the others?

R. Right, the person does not and cannot become incorporated with others and feel the sorrow of others and ask for their correction and their fulfillment, yes.

S. That's what he writes here, if we don't come to a prayer of many you have no vessel, you can't get nothing and get nothing?

R. Yes, we just have to reach that.

S. Yes, we are not doing it whole-heartedly?

R. Did you ask to have that?

S. Who did I ask it from?

R. There is no one to ask?

S. The Creator?

R. Yes.

S. What’s the form of a request, how to ask the Creator for a vessel to be with the friends?

R. Please give me a feeling, let's not say vessel or not, who knows what that is. I want to get a feeling of what my society lacks and how can pass through me to them what they truly lack. And thus, I turn to the Creator. No, no, no, wait and listen. You are not listening. And then I turn to the Creator and I ask Him, give me please the mind and power, meaning both the mind and the heart to be a conduit that I'll bestow to them desire and power to receive from You everything You have; that it will pass through me. I am like a pipeline. I don't belong to any of it, I just want to pass it onto them.

S. So is this call the time of will?

R. Of course, yes is the time of will.

S. To receive this spark, to have a desire to give to the friends?

R. Yes, yes for now that’s it yeah?

S. Yes, I am for all the friends.

R. Yes.

3. S. (40:41) It sounds like everything is simple, he explains itself so simply; the laws, the rules.

R. There's no more and you can do it in either a quarter of a page or you can write all the conditions of how to reach the final correction.

S. But on the other hand I am stuck on something very simple, that it said in the beginning and it continued throughout the article. What is this foundation which is a prayer made of three lines? I heard about it many times and I think I understand it but there's a foundation here, Yesod, and it has to be in me so I have a crown on my head eventually as he says. And it’s not clear to me as I would like it to be as I understood, there’s all kinds of other things in this corporeal world, when I learn I absorb it and I apply it?

R. Good, so you have all the conditions to succeed, you heard a few words, you understood they’re important and you now understand that only praying for them is basically the right work.

S. The foundation, Yesod?

R. Very well, very well.

S. Okay, I want to advance, in order to advance I am asking, how do we create this kind of prayer where each one of us from this day on?

R. Like everyone just heard you now need to think of how you’re becoming incorporated together “as one man in one heart,” as written, by that you will turn to the Creator altogether in one mouth, this is called the prayer of every mouth and you’ll demand the Creator to finally help you.

S. To give us the power, the ability to focus on the goal and not go around it. I am asking that from now on until further notice we will focus on studying it, fall and get up, fall and get up but we’ll focus on it because this is the foundation of everything.

R. Well, let's say so yeah.

4. S. (44:01) Between the scrutinies of these questions I have a question. I came very close to the explanation of what he heard from Baal HaSulam who said to pray for the many means that the individual assembles all the deficiencies and asks for everyone else. Our ten, everyone is present, one can come once a year, one can go to Sviva Tova, but everyone is present. To concentrate everyone so everyone would pray the prayer of many, one prayer and one mouth as you just said, this is bordering the possible.

R. Have you tried? Did you discuss this together and tried? Guys, let's do this. You should stand in their midst and say I think the main thing for us is to achieve the prayer of many or a single prayer and that we’ll be “as one man in one heart,” and ask for only, for one goal and we don't need more than that. When can we gather and ask, cry, demand from the Creator to do this to us. We certainly can't do it on our own but he has to do it to us. We are willing to bow our heads and let him do it.

S. Yes, but it won't happen now; one is asleep now because he was up until midnight but it's possible that one will assemble everyone's deficiencies and ask right now. Maybe we can understand, when do we all have to be “as one man” who is doing it or that one is doing it for everyone?

R. Everyone now needs to only think of one thing: How do we connect together in a single ten? How many people do we have here more or less? 300 yeah, in the hall, in the world about 3,000 all with us. So you have many people, so now try to put them all together in your heart. That's it, try to fit all of them inside of your heart. You don't need to count them, you don't need to remember particular names and so forth but just try to open the heart to bring them in.

5. S. (47:22) Is the prayer of many a common prayer of the Ten or a prayer in the heart of a person for the Ten?

R. A prayer for the many.

S. Who are the many?

R. They will enter that I will include them within me.

S. It’s a prayer in the heart for the collective but not that the collective are together for the Creator?

R. Yes, that's phase two. First of all I want to put everyone in my heart and then from my heart direct them towards the Creator.

S. Who do I want to put in my heart? My Ten, the 300, the 3,000, who?

R. The more, the better.

S. What are the conditions for the prayer of many?

R. The conditions for the prayer of many is that I understand that prayer has to be a prayer in the public, meaning it has to be comprised of many many individual, separate desires that wish to be together and to feel themselves as one.

6. S. (48:59) What does it mean to open the heart to everyone?

R. I want to fit everyone inside my heart and then that my heart will be comprised of everyone's prayer, deficiencies, lacks.

S. What does it mean that he is integrated with everyone's thoughts and desires? What do you feel in that state, what’s passing over you?

R. That I become included in them.

S. What does it mean?

R. That they all reside in my heart, that they all shape my desire towards the Creator.

S. Each one here has his own deficiency towards the Creator?

R. He and everyone, yes. I don't do this at the account of others.

S. You wish to take all of the unique deficiencies of each and everyone here and put them somehow in you?

R. And connect them together in my heart.

S. So what does it mean to connect them together in my heart?

R. That from all of the desires of all of the people in the world in general, I want it to become one deficiency aimed at the Creator because for that the Creator will certainly be able to work and give and provide answers and response.

S. So what is one prayer, one deficiency which is the result of the incorporation of all the deficiencies of everyone in the world?

R. That we connect together by that and each one is ready to collect everyone's deficiencies and each one is aimed at collecting everyone's deficiencies and connecting them and presenting them towards the Creator. I want to raise everyone towards the Creator.

S. But not as individual deficiencies but as some sort of incorporation?

R. Yes, that they will incorporate with my heart and from there rise to the Creator and I myself don't need anything besides performing this action, collecting everyone and raising to the Creator.

S. I'm trying to understand what is that thing that rises, that is the result of the incorporation of everyone?

R. That’s the form of Adam HaRishon.

S. How do we do it? How do we include everyone into one form, one chain?

R. The Creator can do it; we only ask, help us, make a correction, this general and comprehensive correction that we really want to go and fix the shattering again.

S. In effect, if the Creator already creates inside of you an incorporation of all the desires in order to reach you, is this the essence of the correction?

R. No, the correction is in the hands of the Creator, the request is in my hand and then I ask, connect us all together so that we’ll connect in a single desire, a single deficiency and this deficiency can come out of my heart and each and everyone thinks the same about his qualities and thus will raise to the Creator our collective, shared deficiency.

7. S. (53:20) Do I understand correctly that from my description of my advanced state, the higher state, when the friends are connected and they are in love and bestowal, when they wish to be together, this is the common deficiency of the friends?

R. It's not sufficient; that from the shared, the common deficiency we want to reach bestowing to the Creator. Our entire work is to give Him the vessel to be revealed. The Creator's desire is to be revealed in the created beings, which follows the level of correction in the created beings so the created beings ask, we wish to be corrected so much so that You can be completely revealed within us.

S. I assemble all that together, the desires, to the Creator and I'm asking for it. What is the meaning of asking for the collective?

R. Yes, yes and the same goes for each and every one.

S. And then a new degree of connection appears and each time I do it again and again and that's how we climb upwards?

R. Let's say so for now, yes.

8. S. (55:13) He writes here when the prayers are in the correct order they are called the vessel for the reception of the abundance. What does it mean they have to be in the correct order or the adequate order?

R. Well, in all the corrections we learn there is a certain order, from light to heavy, from one to many and so forth. That's the order until we are all together “as one man with one heart,” just as it was before the shattering.

S. Further he writes that there’s the matter of the correction of the lines, it speaks of the correction of lines. In truth I didn't understand his explanation.

R. We will learn about the correction of the lines.

S. This is the correction of the lines where the many which is Malchut incorporates in the many and when there’s this correction called lines. Abundance will remain in holiness and not go to the externals. This prayer can be received?

R. Yes, that's Hesed, Din and Rachamim, three lines and we need to become incorporated with all of them. This can happen not in a single individual but in a ten let's say, and then we are worthy of receiving the abundance. The abundance that appears goes all the way to the Yesod, connects to the Yesod and then goes on to Malchut. It is impossible to connect without the three lines.

S. What does it mean?

R. Well that you have power but you distribute it to say three phases. You’re not an expert in that?

S. I understand a bit.

R. Okay, so you know there’s a difference between the three kinds of forces but they’re in a certain combination between them, they build from themselves a complete desire.

S. What does it mean in our work in the group?

R. That we want to connect between us all in a way that it’s possible to achieve a single Creator. In each and everyone we have an individual soul and we want to connect in such a way that from all of us will emerge a collective soul called the soul of Adam HaRishon. And here there are different calculations but that’s later.

9. S. (58:46) If we start to look practically at the friends in the ten and they have a deficiency for the Creator how do I connect their deficiencies to come up with a common, mutual deficiency?

R. Without too many calculations, you simply always want to include them in you, in your desire become incorporated with them and so whatever they want you wish to pass through you to them.

S. When we speak about what we want, typically words are repeated. Everybody wants to reveal the Creator, everybody wants to connect in the ten. What is the difference between the specific deficiency one friend is bringing and another friend is bringing, so I can take his desire and his desire and see the difference and connect them? In connection you are two different things after all.

R. Each one has his own will to receive but each one each one wants to reach connection with the Creator. The connection with the Creator cannot be unless he passes it through the others as in the example of Adam HaRishon, that unless all the souls are incorporated the Kli is incomplete. Therefore, we have to pray for the unification of the Kli. Unification of the Kli begins from unifying the deficiencies, being “as one man with one heart.”

Even though in each and everyone there is his deficiency, that's how we were born but in spirituality we have an opportunity to connect our deficiencies to one because we bestow to a single Creator. If we’re in reception surely we will never be connected, each one will always pull towards himself but if we want to continue towards the Creator then we ultimately connect between us to achieve Him and that is our work. If we ask for that, being connected in order to reach Him then the Creator helps, there is a combination of the deficiencies here.

S. Each one has his own deficiency and we have to take these deficiencies and combine them into one. I feel that when I look at the ten I don't see many deficiencies, it's like one general lack, everybody wants to reveal the Creator. I don't feel the difference between the deficiencies, it's not the characteristic thing.

R. Each one wants not to discover the Creator, that's egoistic, each one wants to bestow contentment to the Creator. Now bestowing contentment that means each one is already working from within the point in their hearts.

S. How do I identify that point?

R. From the desire you can’t. If we're willing to help each other then our desires towards the Creator connect together to a single desire and that desire is called the general Yesod. I'm not saying this for you to learn from here but just to get an impression that we have to get closer towards connection.

S. That point I'm trying to feel doing the work in the ten: what is Hassadim, what is Gevura, what is Rachamim?

R. We will feel that from the actual actions. It's not an issue, it’s not a problem, it's something you get to know on the way. In the meantime we can’t detect it because we have no sense of it, we haven't started scrutinizing, receiving these details.

10. S. (01:04:22) I want to understand the order of building the vessel from Yesod to the Nukva and from there to the entire public. Should every ten create a network of connection, a field the Creator has blessed and each feel like that? We need to connect all the things, each and every field we ask for one another? Is it a common deficiency?

R. Inside the ten? Yes inside the ten each one is asking for the others.

S. So what does it mean to take it out to the public? From the ten we’re supposed to bring it to the rest of the public?

R. No no no. For the ten, that's enough, that’s sufficient.

11. S. (01:05:26) How to make my ego accept that the Creator is more important than me?

R. You have to think more and more about how we attain the purpose of creation, our purpose. Then you will see that everything depends on the Creator ultimately and not you. Also your desires come from Him and your whole fate comes from Him so that’s how we’ll reach a state where it’s simply worthwhile for us to follow the condition that He gives us. That we have to be connected in order to include Him between us but it will settle, it will settle in the work.

12. S. (01:06:40) To ask the Creator to bring the friends closer to Him, inside this request is a seeming complaint, a hidden complaint about the friends and their states. How to ask for it purely?

R. Whatever you're capable of, that's what you’ll ask, what you have. Today won't be clean, tomorrow and then again and again, you keep rolling.

S. But the request itself is that correct?

R. Any request is correct because that's what you feel. So everything goes and accumulates on the path and comes to a conclusion and correction.

13. S. (01:07:40) From being incorporated here from all the lessons is it correct to say that the connection between us begins with equivalence of form with the Creator? When I want to reach the equivalence of form and through the existence of this equivalence of form He is merciful and you are merciful, He is graceful and you are graceful, He is forgiving. I want to help the friends and what comes out of it is that we want to reach that one out of equivalence of form. So our whole work is out of equivalence of form that brings us to one vessel?

R. You are talking as if you're already corrected.

S. Do we talk about the qualities of the Creator so we’ll be able to incorporate in it and work with it in the tens?

R. How can we talk about the qualities of the Creator?

S. Let’s say merciful, graceful.

R. And what do you feel from that?

S. To forgive the friends, to be patient with them, to help them anywhere possible and from that we can come to this one man and one heart. As the Creator is One, we also want to be one, He doesn't think about himself, I don't think about myself. We’ll talk about it, we’ll scrutinize that equivalence of form and then the connection that we talk about will come as one man and one heart. We will see fragments of the desires and not faces, we’ll see our fragments, our parts. Can we open up those qualities for giving, for being graceful..?

R. I don't know what that is, I don't know what these qualities are. If I were to discover them within me or by way of negation that I don't have that or I do have that then I would probably gladly do it.

S. So we’ll try to do it together.

R. We'll try.

14. S. (01:10:03) Yesod means the screen?

R. What? Masach is Masach and Yesod is Yesod.

S. Everything gathers through the Yesod to Malchut?

R. Everything accumulates in Yesod and then goes onto Malchut.

S. Another question? What does it mean to create a deficiency above in the upper one?

R. To make a deficiency in the upper one is like a baby who is crying and his mother feels what he wants.

S. And the order of the correction is this on our degree or is it like the request for correction?

R. We also need to know what we're asking for, not that I just cry and the Creator understands what it is, even though He does because he himself summoned my cry. Still, we have to understand that. What do we ask for?

S. So many details on the correction of the system. Will that be on our level all these details or on our level is only to ask for what’s right from the Creator and he will disseminate the rest?

R. No, we usually also need to scrutinize all the details. It’s the pieces of the soul of each and everyone.

15. S. (01:12:21) I noticed that in the ten, that when one opens his heart, exposes his deficiency to advance, it’s easy for me to include him, it’s easy for me to ask for him in the bottom of my heart. The question is what is the importance of opening the heart in the ten?

R. We need to both go towards it and also be cautious from it because in the beginning of our path it’s still unclear to us all the details of the progress.

S. With opening the heart, I noticed that, talking about Baal HaSulam’s allegory, the one who carries the heavy load on his back and everybody wants to help. So when a person opens up his heart from a place where he wants it but it's very difficult for him it gives a degree of impression and power. The question is, is this the way to open the heart?

R. On the one hand, on the other hand there are other places where he writes and this is also true that you cannot open your heart towards the society because they can corrupt your step forward. So there is both this and that. Until we correct ourselves we have to combine these two approaches, I'm hiding and I'm also showing.

S. So how can a person check himself before doing it?

R. He explains this to us, only for us to check it on ourselves. You yourself have to look into it and scrutinize and put together the right thoughts and desires and that’s how you gradually build yourself from your attitude.

S. Aside from the prayer that includes everyone, is there also a personal responsibility to help others with their prayer?

R. Also but it depends what it means to help.

S. To show them my deficiency so it will be easier for them to include it?

R. No, no, a person can’t just open his deficiency towards others just like that because all his friends are still not anchored, not protected from the harms of the friends. So we can cause damage.

16. S. (01:16:05) I noticed that I get more awakenings during the day to collect the ten in me for connection and then start the work. Can I in the heart ask for help from other friends or are all the addresses only to the Creator?

R. If you can, see how much it’s true and not artificial.

S. What does it mean one should help his friend in the inner work?

R. When the way we reveal our heart and we know how to cover it, so according to that we’ll know how to connect and be together in the inner work.

17. S. (01:17:20) Thank you please help us recognize and scrutinize. In my opinion there are two states, when the person is incorporated in the society there is one state where he prays for the Shechina and other is for the sake of the Shechina.

R. When a person studies for the Shechina that’s one prayer and when the person prays for the friends that’s a different prayer.

S. I feel that when I'm in the first phase, I pray for the friends like a side, there's me and there's the vessel of the friends outside of me. And when a person is rewarded with praying along with the friends there is no more ‘I,’ no more self?

R. Right. You keep going like that and everything will work out.

18. S. (01:18:53) You said everything is about giving contentment, let's say to the friends and to everybody and to the Creator. In the article it says it’s about the purpose, the contemplation about the purpose of this contentment, about this pleasure. Why is it so that when contemplating it it’s not so you're checking about the truth of this pleasure, it’s not a real pleasure. Can you explain this?

R. That is towards our egoistic will to receive. If a person really gets pleasure he won't ask about the pleasure, where it came from, why am I getting pleasures. The pleasure’s filling him all the way up that he has no place, no deficiency to ask about the source of the pleasure and its purpose, why it came. It came, I’m enjoying myself, I have nowhere in my head or my stomach to ask about it, about the nature of the pleasure. That’s how it fills my vessels.

S. Is it important to check this all the time? Am I giving pleasure to the friends in this contemplation?

R. That you’ll see according to your experience, I don't want to say anything about it.

19. S. (01:20:57) A general question about the meeting of the article. When a student is trying to connect with friends when he reads such an article and he is trying to connect to the Kabbalist, at a certain moment he feels he's drowning, he cannot hold on to his deficiency. What is happening with the student?

R. I don't know what is happening, in what is he drowning? In a sea of details or in feelings or explain it. What do you mean? Maybe you can’t grasp everything because you have to read this a few times, the article. So we send it right, we send it in advance?

M. Yes, every day at the end of the morning lesson we send the next day’s study material and also for the noon lesson, it’s also translated. If you go into the link you see the different languages and immediately after we translate it to other languages we add it to the archive, it’s very accessible.

R. So that’s what you need.

S. What I mean with drowning is that when we start the article there is a huge deficiency, but you cannot hold on to the deficiency. You want to hold on, to be deficient but you cannot hold on and it’s almost that you withdraw..

R. Because there are a lot of details?

S. Yes, for sure because the feeling is this article we could study for half a year each day I'm not sure what’s happening because I just, I just told the friend we're now 90 minutes into the lesson but it feels like it feels like we're 5 minutes in the lesson so..

R. That’s great, that’s a good thing, it’s a good sign.

S. So there is a deficiency but how to connect it to the reading, how to connect it to use it for connection?

R. You have to be ready for the lesson, ready. When I used to come to the lesson I'm not giving an example of myself but first of all I didn't know Hebrew. Today, I somewhat can read it but it was very difficult for me and I used to go over the article like three or four, sometimes five times. Usually it was on paper, there wasn’t a computer to send it to everybody, we didn’t have a friend that sent it to everyone.

S. We always in our ten, we read the materials prior to the lesson. Before the lesson we study but mostly we connect in our ten around the materials. Would you advise to do even before that, to rise 30 minutes before that and study it by oneself or..?

R. I think it’s a must that each one will make the effort to read it, divide the article into a few parts. You can give a subtitle to every part, what that part is speaking about and that all these parts eventually connect to the ending of the article just the way it appeared in Rabash’s brain. Well as much as possible, that’s something we need to try.

20. S. (01:26:43) I wanted to ask how to approach such a text by Rabash with a soft heart, softly to absorb his words?

R. Rabash was very closed and sometimes maybe every few months I felt that his heart opened a bit. He kept guard on us, watched out on us, the students very much in order not to reveal too much; that we’ll feel that we're still under concealment and that there’s no choice and we have to invest forces.

S. And hearing the lesson with bestow to the friends?

R. It helps of course the opening of the heart, getting closer to the friends. Before we connect to the reading we have to feel ourselves that we read as one man in one heart and we want the Creator to enter between us and fill all those areas between us, yes.

S. What sensitivity do we need in order to perceive what comes to us from above here in the lesson?

R. There are a few stages in that and the main thing is that we want to incorporate between us and through that connection between us that we do want to reach a state that the Creator will fill that area.

21. S. (01:29:07) What should one do when the manners of the body give you hatred?

R. Good, you have a good healthy evil inclination, you have something to work with. It gives you signs that it’s in control of you.

S. Okay, I don't want to agree with that. The fact that he controls that is good for him but we are here.

R. You don't agree?

S. Yes.

R. Okay, what can you do? Beat it up.

S. No, but that's not a good approach here.

R. No, but what can I tell you?

S. I thought you would answer like your teacher always answered you, that this part should suffer.

R. It will suffer but the suffering has to bring you to some kind of a decision to such an extent that you will do it on the spot. What? Just to suffer for no reason? It’s not the purpose of creation to suffer.

S. Okay, that's clear but you see it's not only you, these matters of the body affect many friends. When it does affect my people it's hard for me to justify. About me I don't care too much but when you see the friends fall, this one doesn't come, this one disappears so it already touches sensitive spots in me.

R. First of all whoever left, left. Whoever needs to return will return. You only think of those that are somewhat in our net and we’ll get there in this way.

S. But me and you we’re in different approaches, I can't say such a thing. If I care for him, he’s dear to me. How can I say whoever left, left? I need to invest in him.

R. If he already left, how can you invest in him? You have to help, you have to show the place is open and if he says let me go, leave me alone, this is what I want for now. So, what can you do? There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do. There are those and those and many will still fall from the path that way.

S. You were talking about your teacher all that.

R. About what?

S. No, as a teacher, as a teacher. Let's say the worst blows you can take when you were a teacher are from your students, the most close to you?

R. I have to try to suffer everything and for now we’re advancing.

S. Okay, fine, so some situation appears and you feel suffering but when such a thing happens if you have a student..

R. So what?

S. Is there any way to help there, to do something?

R. I see according to his state but I don't need to help. I don't need to help anyone because the Creator is above me and when He actually gives a person all the disturbances it depends on a person what he’ll do with all of this. There is nothing to do. I can maybe through somebody, somewhat, sometimes influence a certain student but it's also a very rare case. The best thing is that a person starts seeing his true states and he sorts it out with his will to receive, that he doesn't follow his ego and tries to reach the truth.

22. S. (01:33:54) Why does it seem that when the disturbances come to me personally, I can somehow justify the Creator, but when it comes to friends, it seems like there's no chance to justify the Creator with these things?

R. Those are inner calculations, you will understand it.

23. S. (01:34:27) A question by a friend: what does it mean to hurt a friend with my deficiency?

R. That I'm actually not allowed to show a deficiency towards the friends but it's desired that I always show them an awakening and a good spirit and my desire to connect to the society and through them the Creator that way I won't hurt the friends with my deficiency.

24. S. (01:35:20) When you said that we need to open the heart and put the friends in there and to be incorporated with them, so when you are incorporated with your friends, each one has his own deficiency, how to pass this deficiency the right way to the Creator? How to be the conduit of the deficiency from the friend to the Creator?

R. We still shouldn't speak among us about this. The main thing is to give the feeling of an awakening to one another, and what happens next inside our desires, that will pass between us on its own.

25. S. (01:36:17) You teach us that we need to go into the deficiency of the friend, not only by words, but it's really the point he or she's talking about. When we compose the prayer, I understood my work as when we make the prayer for that day, I try to feel every friend, and for me this is a work of high quality but when I can't manage to hear the deficiency from every friend, it doesn't always work out, when we connect together, when we gather together, to make the prayer. So sometimes this prayer comes from the intellect and I understand that in my heart I can't incorporate the whole world, so I guess I have some obstacle. Sometimes, when I see this common prayer from the ten, it is not a personal prayer, so our prayer is not of high quality. How can we see that the prayer of the ten is the prayer of high quality and from the heart?

R. In order to feel the general group deficiency we have to think about it a lot. We have to speak about it. We have to really turn it from side to side a few times until we reach a personal feeling; from a personal feeling to a common deficiency. We have to be in the deficiency for a longer time and turn it around from all its sides.

26. S. (01:38:35) Is it okay to encourage our friends to open their hearts to the ten?

R. Yes, through your example and according to what we read in the articles.

27. S. (01:39:09) You gave an example that Rabash guarded you, so he won't reveal too much to you, so that the students will make the effort and reach the attainment. On the other hand, we see that every generation uses the fruits of the attainment of the previous generations. Why can't the teacher pass on everything he attained on to the students and then they start from that point?

R. When you attain that starting point, so you will understand. For now, you have to be prepared for that, that same starting point, that from it you will understand Baal HaSulam and Rabash.

28. S. (01:40:20) How can a person arrange for himself in the head, in the heart, the right order of building the spiritual deficiency?

R. The order is simple: try to always incorporate more and more in depth and in width the deficiency of the group, try and reach adhesion with the Creator. Try, and from that you will get a path to advance in spirituality.

29. S. (01:41:13) We have a question from our ten and we have been working on it for quite some time. What is happening in our ten is that we want to have a united prayer but what actually happens is that each one has his own request and the question is: how can we organize this prayer in the ten, so that the prayer will be one?

R. That is a very good question and really no one asked about it. That is only by you connecting together and talking about it and discussing it and then do it a few times, upon the area of articles, all kinds of different articles, and then you will see how you need to approach the articles in order to incorporate in the hearts.

30. S. (01:42:41) Through the prayer of many can a person change his whole world?

R. Of course, yes.

31. S. (01:43:03) About uniting the deficiencies through my heart, how can we raise them to the Creator through the prayer? How through this practical work about the prayer do we reach the building of the screen?

R. Everything is through the Creator, we ask and then the Creator starts connecting us into one unified deficiency and then we start feeling, then we start feeling, as much as we are dependent on one another, how we're all together with one another.

32. S. (01:44:10) In the beginning of the article it is said that the prayer of many is incorporated by three lines. Can you explain in simple words for someone who is not long in the study, what this is about?

R. No, no, we will learn about that later.

33. S. (01:44:44) In the beginning of the lesson, I heard you say that now we should think that we are connected to all the 3,300 friends who are with us. What is a form of connection and what is the shape? Is it a circle, a field, how to imagine a connection?

R. It is one point where we want to incorporate in.

S. Is it already the spiritual desire there or it is a simple point where everyone is there with their desires?

R. It is one desire that we all want to incorporate in.

S. How to be drawn into this point?

R. Try, to try.

34. S. (01:45:43) It says in the text somewhere, some could not receive the light yet but they were considered the counsellors?

R. What are you asking?

S. I'm asking what does it mean that they couldn't receive the light yet but were considered counsellors, what does that mean? I'm sorry I don't have the text.

R. What it means advice, counsels? That you ask for advice for our actions to be correct, that we want to perform them and we want to implement them.

35. S. (01:47:23) How does the transition happen inside a person from investing and not reaching adhesion with the Creator to reaching the prayer of many?

R. Again?

S. How does this transition happen inside a person starting from investing the efforts and not reaching adhesion with the Creator to reaching the prayer of many?

R. You have to keep going with his efforts.

36. S. (01:48:00) We are still confused about what deficiencies we are allowed to open in our ten and what we are not allowed to do. We heard that we can talk about the awakening, the good mood and the desire for connection, so what shouldn't we open up out loud in our ten?

R. I can’t tell you in a short, clear way, it is something we need to understand by constantly discussing it.

S. What we thought is that maybe deficiencies that each one can’t express her spiritual deficiency but actually what is my spiritual deficiency? My deficiency is the deficiency of the friend, I don’t have a different deficiency?

R. It has to be a mutual deficiency, you're right.

S. So we talk about our common deficiencies?

R. Okay.

S. So what shouldn't we tell each other? The left line?

R. No, no, no, you are saying it as if you know what it is and you are holding on to the right or left and you're sure about it. Don't confuse yourself for now, keep going the way you are and you will see that soon it'll work out.

37. S. (01:49:44) What does it mean in the ten to keep the Torah in the form of hearing? Not only to observe the words but rather to hear what it says, what does this mean?

R. Again?

S. What does it mean in the ten to observe the Torah in the form of hearing His words?

R. That we accept all of the commands of the Creator and we supposedly want to perform them. And from that, afterwards, we reach their implementation; their implementation. That's how, that's the order. What do we do next?
