Part 1 Lesson on the topic of Rosh Hashana

Hello, we are in a lesson on the topic of Rosh HaShana, the new year. We will be reading from selected excerpts from the sources on the topic of Rosh HaShana. You can find the excerpts on our website, kabbalahmedia.info, and on the Arvut system.

We'll be reading the first topic, which is The Sin of the Tree of Knowledge, and from it we'll be reading excerpt number 2 from Rabash. What is the Meaning of Failure in the Work?

Reading Excerpt # 2: (00:30) What is the Meaning of Failure in the Work?

The failure that Adam HaRishon had with the Tree of Knowledge caused us absence of faith. Naturally, from this we come into all the sins. Therefore, the only counsel is to be rewarded with faith, for man to feel Godliness personally, so he will not need the general public, to have faith from the whole of Israel. Instead, a person must repent to the extent that it is “unto the Lord your God.” That is, he should feel that “the Lord is your God” personally, and then the flaw of the Tree of Knowledge will be corrected.

M. Laitman: Read it again.

Re-Reading Excerpt # 2: (00:1:47) What is the Meaning of Failure in the Work?

M. Laitman: Meaning, what do we need to do? We need to try, over all of our sins, our transgressions, over all of the actions that we are doing. We need to bring ourselves to a state that is called repentance. Repentance, is unto the Lord your God, as it's written, meaning that a person should feel that the Lord is your God personally. And then the flaw of the Tree of Knowledge will be corrected. This flaw of the Tree of Knowledge makes it difficult for us to hold on to the Creator with everything that we have and to say that the Lord is our God.

Question (Women MAK): (04:18) When we rise, how do we rise above the mistakes and to reach the Creator?

M. Laitman: We take upon ourselves the commitment to rise in faith above reason in such a way so neither our faith nor our reason [sound drops out]. And in such a way we would correct this problem of the sin of the Tree of Knowledge.

Student: I want to discover the desire of the Creator to humanity.

M. Laitman: Revealing your Creator's desire, it can be when you discover some problems, some deficiencies, some sins that are dragging you down. You want to be inside the generality of Israel and that's why you want to make a return. A return is when you, man or woman, for a person to feel that the Creator is Elokim – the Almighty. And he wants to be and do everything so that the Creator is above. This is called that He corrects the deficiency of the Tree of Knowledge.

Student: In our Ten we need to feel the desire of the Creator and to implement it? And if we don't feel it, do we need to simply believe that we are carrying out the desire of the Creator?

M. Laitman: No, not just to believe, we have to know.

Question (Georgia): (07:45) I have a very big faith, as if I was born again into this. And I would like to thank you, Rav, so how can I bestow all of this to the Creator? I have a desire specifically for this? That there will awaken in me more of a desire to bestow to the Creator and to the friends.

M. Laitman: You have to treat the Creator, relate to Him the same way.

Student: By that I'll give Him contentment?

M. Laitman: Yes, and that you'll bring Him contentment, you have to ask for the opportunity to bestow on to the Creator in the same way as you want to bestow on to the friends; and to bestow on to the friends the same way as you want to give to the Creator.

Question (MAK 39): (09:28) How could Adam HaRishon know the Creator as the Good That Does Good if he did not taste from the Tree of Knowledge?

M. Laitman: That's correct, that's probably why the Creator formed such a training for him, such a descent for him to fall from his ego. And through that ego for him to understand the quality of bestowal and love and that he will correct it into something more proper. As a result, it turns out that the Creator created evil and the Creator and the person out of it makes it good.

Although it's not perceived by us, but we will reach this type of result; it turns out that the Creator formed us and our whole world, and that we can fall from our initial state and the quality of faith is lost. We, nonetheless, are moving towards connecting ourselves together between us, and in this way we reach repentance, meaning a state when we can come closer to the Creator and tell Him, wholeheartedly, with a whole open heart that we want to be connected with Him.

Question (Turkiye 2): (12:02) At the end of the article, it is written that after the condition of the Lord as God is felt, the flaws of the Tree of Knowledge will be corrected. What can be the measure of the person against the Creator so that we can reach that condition? To what degree, to what measure does a person need to get to so that he will be able to realize this condition?

M. Laitman: That the Lord will be our God, we need to reach such a degree, that's it, and that's enough.

Question (KabU 14): (12:57) We need faith from the Godliness personally and we do not need the general public. Why do we not need the general public, how could it be? What are the general public if they are not the friends? I'm really confused on that.

,M. Laitman: Because a man does it for himself. This is what the Creator dictates to us, that you have to come to a state when the Creator Almighty will be in your personal attainment.

Question (Women Petah Tikva 33): (14:02) What is this term, the general public?

M. Laitman: The general public of Israel is when – according to the Reshimot – both men and women will all have one desire, and a single Kli is formed between them. And then they become worthy of the Creator being clothed in them. This is called that they attain the Creator Almighty.

Student: So, when he writes that he will not need the general public, it is attaining that degree of “unto the Lord, your God”?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women MAK 97): (15:19) How do we inscribe this extent of faith on the heart? The mind agrees that everything comes from the Creator but how to inscribe this onto the heart?

M. Laitman: Gradually, this depends only on how much we are prepared to ask so that it can be truly like this.

Question (Women MAK 51): (15:59) Faith above reason brings a person to this middle line and then a person acquires reason on each degree. Does that mean that faith needs to bring a person to know the Creator, then we won't need faith?

M. Laitman: Of course, man comes gradually to full knowledge of the Creator.

Student: Then this term of faith above reason will have realized its purpose?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Reading Excerpt # 3: (16:50) Rabash, Letter No. 76 You Have Made Me.

It is known that “The whole earth is full of His glory.” This is what every person should believe, as it is written, “I fill the heaven and the earth.” However, the Creator has made a concealment so that we cannot see Him so as to have room for choice, and then there is room for faith—to believe that the Creator “fills all the worlds and encompasses all the worlds.” And after a person engages in Torah and Mitzvot [commandments] and keeps the commandment of choice, the Creator reveals Himself to him, and then he sees that the Creator is the ruler of the world.

Thus, at that time a person makes the king who will rule over him. That is, a person feels that the Creator is the ruler of the world, and this is regarded as a person making the Creator king over him.

Re-Reading Excerpt # 3: (18:18) Rabash, Letter No. 76

Question (Haifa 1): (19:54) It is written that there is room for choice but also that there is the commandment of choice. That it is one of the Mitzvot, the commandments, that we need to keep?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: Can anyone do that?

M. Laitman: Each one must go through it.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (20:30) The second paragraph writes that a person feels the Creator as controlling the whole world. What does it mean to feel that the Creator is the ruler of the whole world?

M. Laitman: That I cannot choose anything for myself, no action to perform, but the Creator does everything; He is always the first before me.

Student: The whole world means that the Creator rules over the whole world and everything that happens in the world? And if disasters happen?

M. Laitman: We have no King except for You, this is what we have to accept. In any place, on any level, There Is None Else Besides Him.

Question (Women MAK 19): (22:22) When we reach an understanding in each degree, and differently, that there is None Else Besides Him, nonetheless, it turns out that there is a feeling of an even greater disparity of form. What do we need to do in such a circumstance? Pray in regard to the correction?

M. Laitman: Pray, yes.

Question (Women Spain): (23:24) It's written that He fills the heaven and the earth, it’s certain that He fills all of the worlds and encompasses all of the worlds. Is this the corporeal or the spiritual and in what action is He filling the spiritual world?

M. Laitman: The Creator fills and encompasses all of the worlds and we need to recognize this. So, what is there to ask about it?

Student: Is it speaking of the physical world that he fills and how is he filling the world? What does it mean that he fills the world?

M. Laitman: How He fills the world? Very simple, this is in His hands, as always and now, as well. In any state, He fills the Kli that's in his hands and we have to determine, to receive this Kli that the Creator is in, as it is said, He fills all the worlds.

Question (Bulgaria 1): (25:30): I got a bit confused on the explanation of faith: There's a commandment that says to choose. On the other hand, if I understood correctly, the Creator is always first. What is it to choose faith? Is it to be in faith above reason?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes. Place faith above reason and walk forward in this way.

Student: Today, we need faith to be something acquired.

M. Laitman: Yes, from above, of course.

Student: We need to want this?

M. Laitman: Of course.

Question (Women French): (26:38) The first sentence in the second paragraph is that a person makes the king, who will rule over him It seems like the person gives permission for the Creator to rule over him as if it's in the control of the person, is this true?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes, of course.

Student: It turns out that I choose who will control, who will rule in me, the ego or the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes, we are the ones that decide, yes.

Question (Women Italy): (27:30) We often right choosing comes after we have chosen wrongly. When will we make the right choices without mistakes?

M. Laitman: There's no such thing, there's no righteous man on earth that did a good thing before sinning because from the beginning; we are in the mistake.

Question (Women MAK 26): (28:32) We want to give all the control to the Creator, so how do we relate to other people or other countries that are trying to control us or others? What is our response in our heart to the Creator for this?

M. Laitman: Each one works for himself. If a friend chose something for himself, I don't delve into it.

Student: How do we relate, respond, in regard to the Creator when we see that there are wars of control? Do we annul, do we pray that everything will change because it turns out that we are not in control of the Creator.

M. Laitman: We have to, many times, go through – what Rabash talks about – in our desires. Then we'll have the right approach, the right attitude to our actions.

Question (Women Hebrew 2): (30:14) What does it mean that You have made me?

M. Laitman: It means that we give the validity to the Creator that in each and every thing He's determining who we are, what we are, what we'll want and how to relate to Him.

Student: What does you have made me in the Ten mean?

M. Laitman: That we for now, between us, agree to the way we want the Creator to be presented to us.

Question (Women Hebrew 2): (31:15) We have the whole world Kli in a lesson. Is there also a state that we are in, “You have made me?’ And if so, what is it?

M. Laitman: You made me is a very high state. When we choose from all the possibilities that the Creator is revealed to us, which form of His do we want to be revealed?

Student: I don't quite understand, what does it mean that we choose in the part where he will be revealed?

M. Laitman: We are in a state when we don't know who the Creator is and what He's about. But when we receive the ability, we act in such a way that the Creator is before us and we, as if in our attitude to Him, we can relate to His specific form. This is called that the Creator chooses the Creator.

Question (Women Hebrew 2): (33:16) How can we see or discover Him as the Good That Does Good? Even if what we see seems to us as bad, how do we see them as good? Because it comes from Him.

M. Laitman: This is impossible, if we if we relate to the Creator the way He is revealed to us, as if He does bad, no matter how you spin it, He won't be revealed as good. But in this case, we have to have to rise higher and higher above. And imagine the Creator as if He's higher than everyone, He does everything; He controls everything and There Is None Else Besides Him.

Question (Women Hebrew 2): (34:51) What is the right way now to pray and ask at this time of the new year for our spiritual growth?

M. Laitman: Why are you saying after everything, we have to always do it.

Student: So, the personal corrections influence the environment around me?

M. Laitman: Okay, it will be good, everything will be good. We have to continue at the same pace and we'll see a good, a good ending.

Question (Women MAK 43): (35:49): Do I understand, correctly, that concealment is a means?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women Kyiv 7): (36:12) How do we build this dialogue in the Ten, like it would be with the Creator, and to incorporate the whole world in it?

M. Laitman: How do we build the Ten in order to gather the whole world?

Student: How do we build a dialogue with the Ten as it would be with the Creator?

M. Laitman: This depends on your states in the Ten, inside the Ten.

Student: What's more important – to be in a dialogue with a Creator or with the Ten? What do we choose between the two in each moment?

M. Laitman: Of course, it's higher with the Creator but, without going through the Ten, you won't get to Him.

Question (Petah Tikva 22): (37:26) If the Creator fills the whole world and encompasses the whole world and rules over it. It's not just about the actions, it's also in the thoughts and intentions. So, what does it mean that there's an intention? Usually, there's an intention in order to receive. If the Creator rules over everything then this intention in order to receive is just an illusion or does it exist?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How does it happen that there's still this intention in order to receive?

M. Laitman: We have to take this away from the creation, and we don't want to use it.

Student: I understand what you're saying, but there's still this intention of in order to bestow to the Creator because He rules over everything.

M. Laitman: When he rules over everything, then we have nothing to do.

Student: There's a feeling that's in order to receive, and we need to erase that?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women MAK 48): (38:14) It's written here that a person feels the Creator as ruling over the whole world. What world is this talking about?

M. Laitman: Our world.

Student: Corporeal world?

M. Laitman: Corporeal, spiritual, what's the difference?

Student: Is there an order to this feeling of when a person starts to feel that a Creator is ruling over everything?

M. Laitman: Of course.

Student: Does it start with this world?

M. Laitman: No, this depends on everyone. We have to be more subtle, more delicate in our feelings, and then we'll go through it.

Question (Nikolaev-Sochi): (40:20) There are joyful states in which you can remember the Creator. And then there's forgetting and there are pains when we forget. So, what's the most beneficial for our development when we remember that the Creator is filling all of reality or the opposite?

M. Laitman: No, no, the main thing is to get closer to the Creator.

Student: To what extent, to what state? How opposite do states need to be in order for the person to not return from this feeling of the entire world is filled with the Creator?

M. Laitman: It's when you are in full connection with the Creator, you elevate Hm above everything that exists in our world and the future world. Everything that surrounds you and the future spiritual world. And then you become close to the Creator.

Student: It's a series of traumatic, problematic states until you justify more and more until the point of no return?

M. Laitman: Yes, let's say so; let it be like this, it's not a mistake.

Question (Women Turkiye 10): (42:06) We are not seeing the glory of the Creator, right now. But we see a world that is getting worse and worse, and people who are suffering. What should we do to reveal this glory all over the world?

M. Laitman: To come out, each one from himself, and connect between us, above ourselves, and expect it to be like this.

Question (Hadera 1): (42:57) When a person feels the Creator as ruling over the whole world. This feeling is attained from despair and a lack of strength?

M. Laitman: It can be like this; it can be a different way. It can come to each one in a different way.

Student: There isn't anything in particular to do to acquire this feeling?

M. Laitman: No, it will come to you.

Student: Is it individual or as a group?

M. Laitman: No translation

Question (Hadera 1): (43:42) In a state of adhesion, this final state, nonetheless, faith becomes reason?

M. Laitman: We'll come to this and then we'll talk.

Question (Women MAK 36): (44:11) How do we cover the transgressions and some actions that we might have done to the friends, to the Ten, to family? Sometimes, there's a feeling of guilt for what I did. So, I feel that this is egoistic and there's a place that feels that it comes from the Creator. And so, these two states are disconnected from each other. Does this feeling of guilt get annulled?

M. Laitman: The time will come and you'll feel the way these two states can be together at the same time.

Student: You answered another student that a person makes the decision of holding on to the greatness of the Creator and justifying the Creator. A person is always making this decision to justify, so the egoistic response of guilt, even if it's felt, just to not pay attention to it? Did I understand it correctly?

M. Laitman: We'll come to this, and you'll see it.

Question (Women Moscow 6): (46:03) The birth of the soul and choosing the Creator. Thanks to what does the birth of the soul and the choosing of the Creator happen?

Question (Women MAK 25): (46:36) How can we truly crown the King over us, if we don't feel it in the depth of our heart?

M. Laitman: Gradually, gradually, the main thing is for you to know that this is exactly this part that's ahead of you.

Student: Can the mind help us, here? To discern in the mind, to determine this, can we lean on the mind here?

M. Laitman: Your mind won't really help you with this but you can strive for it.

Question (English 1): (47:24) The feeling of separation that we experience because we're chained to the ego. And the feeling of being very lonely to the world because we can't partake in it. The desire to love and the want to love – even though it's invalid because it's the ego – can I work with that intention and let that thought flow?

M. Laitman: What for?

Student: Because I want to be able to love you, I want to be able to love the friends; I want to be able to love the world, properly.

M. Laitman: The time hasn't come.

Question (Women Ukraine 2): (49:04) In our daily actions at work and so on, when I feel a rejection and I awaken myself to say that I'm doing it for unity, for the Creator, and by that, getting closer to the Creator. And I feel the burden of the Creator on me, is it correct to work in this way?

M. Laitman: At the beginning, maybe yes.

Student: Later on?

M. Laitman: Then we have to perform more discernments.

Student: Does scrutiny on why a person feels pressure on this?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Student: How do we correctly relate?

M. Laitman: I don't know, think about it.

Question (Women Ukraine 2): (50:08) The Creator is doing everything so what is my work, to reach agreement with what's happening? Does it matter what's happening, and to not go against the reality that he's depicting to me? But to rise above it and to agree to everything, in each and every state?

M. Laitman: Correct.

Student: And if I succeed at annulling this conflict with him, this clash, and to accept the rulership of the Creator, what's the work, here?

M. Laitman: You accept His sight. at the present moment, maybe this is correct.

In the next moment, maybe it's wrong.

Student: It sounds contradictory, on one hand, we're striving to agree with what the Creator is doing. But on the other hand, we're learning to not agree with the current state, and to always demand and to pray. How do we overcome this contradiction?

M. Laitman: There's no way to overcome it, we'll gradually learn how to treat it in the right way. The main change is in your attitude to what comes.

Student: If the understanding comes that there is no other way, that there is just a dead end. Is that a feeling that gives me the opportunity to receive the rulership, the coverage of the Creator over me? Or do I just need to pray more for it?

M. Laitman: We have to pray more.

Question (MAK 24): (52:11) It turns out that my choice is to choose the absolute control of the Creator over me. And if I recognize this and the Creator gives me this faith – this recognition, is it a gift from Him? What do I do here? I didn't choose anything, He gave it as a gift.

M. Laitman: You asked for this gift.

Student: All choice is in the relations with the Creator and between us?

M. Laitman: Of course, of course.

Student: How do we hold onto this all the time?

M. Laitman: This is a problem.

Question (MAK 25): (53:10) Everything is in the hands of the Creator, what does that mean? Is it in regards to the uniqueness of the Creator?

M. Laitman: [Sound drops out] and everything is in man's hands that accepts this picture that everything is in the Creator's hands and wants to work with this.

Student: Is the commandment of choice between myself and the Creator? Is this the connection between us; what is this commandment of choice?

M. Laitman: Yes, we'll go through it. Maybe not next time but after, in a couple of lessons.

Question (Women Italy): (54:12) Getting in touch with the Creator depends on whether we accept everything as good – when we pray in and we have a vision as beautiful. So, we built the Creator?

M. Laitman: No, no, we will build Him, He cares for it, Himself, we just have to do what’s upon us. He, Himself, is ready for this. We just need to do what is necessary for us.

Student: In the article it is written that we build the Creator, what is good for us to adhere to the Creator, that we have to want to adhere to Him.

M. Laitman: That we have to want to adhere to Him.

Question (Georgia): (55:45) It is written that you have made Me. And if we can look at this, schematically, we are in this world of senses, and above, this harmony. So, if we are yearning for faith above reason, the Creator, too, is coming down from the plus to the minus. And we are getting to this zero and in this zero harmony, does that mean that we are in adhesion?

M. Laitman: Of course, it is easier to say yes but there are such states where it can be different.

Student: Our yearning for faith above reason, at a certain point, is it bringing us to adhesion with the Creator?

M. Laitman: Yes.

Question (Women MAK 56): (57:15) What reason did the Creator organized everything for a person to reach annulment and to give room for the Creator? What was the reason for this?

M. Laitman: Because in such a way the person ascends above his beastly feelings, desires, decisions. And can be truly independent from the Creator, from himself, and from everything – like the Creator.

Question (Hadera 1): (58:09) What's the difference between the whole earth is full of His glory and it's all filled with Him?

M. Laitman: It means that the Creator is in every place of creation and that He's filling all of creation is the same. But this is already toward the world and this is in the personal, regardless of the person, until Ein Sof.

Student: This is what's filling the desire of the person?

M. Laitman: Yes, yes.

Question (Women MAK 19): (59:22): If a person places the Creator to rule over him, how does he react to what happens outside?

M. Laitman: Do this, and feel it, and then you'll tell us.

Question (MAK 13): (59:50) You, previously, said to rise above and to depict the Creator. What does that mean, how do we incorporate in this work?

M. Laitman: This will be a practical lesson next time. For now, goodbye until tomorrow.
