Part 2: Building a Spiritual Society

Lesson on the topic of "Maaser (tithing)" Rabash. 536. "You Shall Tithe"

Reader: Hello, dear friends! Friday in the hall, it's always a happy day! A day where many friends come, many young, beginning friends. We're always in a good atmosphere. We're speaking and discussing and reminding to one another regularly, in a permanent way, our values, the values of the path that we've studied and that we studied from our great Rav, Rav Dr. Michael Laitman. And he also explains to us and tells us through his behavior, he always gave a personal example. And we can talk about each of the values, or we can implement them and realize them. Just as you heard now, many questions, many scrutinies in the first part of the lesson: why we study, for what. But there are things that are very clear, and these are values that we truly cultivate each time. That's the preparation, the value of the preparation for the lesson, the value of the morning lesson, how important it is; what we need to do in it, our very attendance of it, presence and participation in the lesson. Meals, how a meal should take place, what we do in a meal, what we don't do in a meal. Songs, how we sing, and more values.

Today we chose a value that once in a period of time, like all the other values, we mention it and remind it, the one called Maaser, or tithing. This is a spiritual value, we'll talk about its spiritual root. It's not some invention that someone here invents at some point but rather a value that accompanies the sages of Kabbalah, and anyone who engaged in the method from back, from our Patriarchs' days. So what we do, just like we study the Study of the Ten Sefirot, there's ten Sefirot, nine of them belong to the Creator, from above down, one from below upwards, which is called Malchut. And against this, we implement it in our world as well, this value called Maaser, or tenth, why? Because this is our way to take all the values that we are taught by the Kabbalists and to realize them in practice.

So we're going to enter to our opening clip, clip Number 3, and from it, we'll dive into a journey through this value of Maaser, good luck to us all!

M. Laitman: Our structure is built from ten Sefirot: Keter, Hochma, Bina, Hesed, Gevura, Tifferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut. The whole first nine Sefirot is light, these are qualities of bestowal, or giving, that come from above downwards to the Malchut. Malchut herself is incapable of receiving them if she doesn't make a screen and reflected light, Ohr Hozer, because she is entirely a will to receive. It's our ego. Therefore, get the opposite that, there's a law as a copy of the upper world, that one who wants to make himself compatible to spirituality from his profit in life – what he earns from his 100% – 10%, which is the Malchut, he gives that for the correction of the world. And that's because Malchut cannot correct herself, otherwise; and 90% he uses and that tenth part is what we call tithing.

Many sources write about that, ancient sources from 3,000 and 4,000 years ago, and for Kabbalists, it was always a law throughout all the years. He wants to adapt himself to spirituality and then he explained it according to the drawing, why, what's the meaning? We learn from the four phases of direct light, there's the purpose of creation, which comes to be expressed in the root of, To do good to His created beings. The quality of the Shoresh, of the root, is to do good. And it created the first phase, first phase is the desire to receive. This desire to receive discovers there's a Giver and then wants to be like him, that's called an additional discernment in the light, still a discernment within the light. He wants to be like him and performs an act of bestowal, which is called phase two.

Now phase two asks herself, how do I bestow? She discovers that the root wants her to receive from him, and that's called phase three. And then she discovers that what he really wants is for her to just be the receiver, and that's phase four. All of this is still on behalf of the upper one, from the side of the light. Where does this adapting start happening in this spirituality? When Malchut begins with this restriction, she says, It's me, I, upon my phase four of phase four, I need to do a restriction. Why? Because I want there to be a created being that will be able to receive all the abundance from the Creator. Malchut performs a restriction and the light departs, and now she decides that only if the greatness of the Creator will be before her eyes, in such a manner that that will be her condition in each action.
