Daily Morning Lesson: September 27, 2025 

Part 1: Recorded lesson - Sep 12, 2021

Selected Excerpts for Rabash Memorial Day (Yahrzeit)

Reader: Dear friends, in the first part of the lesson, we will watch a recorded lesson from September 12th, 2021, selected excerpts for Rabash's Memorial Day. 

Reader: Excerpts about the Memorial Day of the Rabash. 

M. Laitman: (00:23) Yes, we are on a special day today, we commemorate the departure of the Rabash, the day of the departure of Rabash, we're going to have a meal today about it. For the time being, we'll read the excerpts we selected to commemorate that date. What am I trying to say?

In a sense, what happened before us, there were many people, thousands, millions of people who wanted to become Kabbalists, and all of this is now on us, the onus is on us, and we need to try to bring ourselves to the form of the last generation, which is the form of many people, hundreds and thousands. There may be more, although I don’t believe there will be much more, because after all, this path is not for everyone. Because we are as a small group of people who yearn for it, and after us, there will be many others, but it's not like they need the same actions as us. 

So, don't make any calculations that we need to have greater and greater numbers. No, maybe another thousand, two thousand, a few thousand more, but I don't think it'll be more than that. The more special is this work, the fewer the people who can actually engage in it. Let alone the wisdom of Kabbalah, that truly depends on the point in the heart. No one here came by himself, but rather he felt an urge from within, and accordingly, he suddenly found, by chance, some contact with us, came, connected, and according to the reforming light that will influence us, it turns out that we are going through a variety of personal and general processes. And there are those here who are already several dozens of years in the process, and we are finally starting to enter the first spiritual degree. They're all called faith above reason, but for us, this is the first degree, our first acquaintance with the quality of bestowal, with all the forces, with all the possibilities that we’re in. 

So, it's a new thing for us, also for humanity, accordingly. Our state is very new, because all of us are part of the last generation, and we're starting to feel ourselves so interdependent, both in the good and in the bad, through terror and warmongering groups, and also in our desire for connection. So, it turns out that, in general, we're all part of one humanity. It's becoming increasingly clear to us that we're interconnected, for the time being through unpleasant acts, unpleasant phenomena, like this pandemic, and so on. That's on the one hand. On the other hand, we're advancing, because we see that the connection between us is coming from above, a necessary connection, and it is pushing us forward. And these two great Kabbalists, father and son, Baal HaSulam and Rabash, his eldest son, they really organized for us the method of the last generation. And that's why we are very grateful to them and to the Creator who arranged such teachers for us. And let's see what they write, both Rabash and Baal HaSulam, on these times and the actions that they took. 

Reader: We will be reading selected excerpts. These excerpts are about Rabash. This is excerpt number one from Baal HaSulam. 

Reading: (07:14) 1. Baal HaSulam. Letter 38

I received your letter and I congratulate you for the Semicha [rabbinical ordination] you have obtained. This is the first wall that barred you from going forward. I hope that from this day forward you will begin to succeed and go from strength to strength until you come into the King’s palace.

I would like you to get another Semicha, but from now on hurry yourself and spend the bulk of your time preparing your body to muster strength and courage “as an ox to the burden and as a donkey to the load.” Do not lose a minute, “for the way is long and supplies are scarce.”

And should you say, “Where is this preparation?” I will tell you as I heard from the ADMOR of Kalshin. In earlier times, one had to first obtain all seven external teachings, called “the seven maidens that serve the king’s daughter,” as well as terrible mortification. And yet, not many gained favor in the eyes of the Creator. But since we have been rewarded with the teachings of the ARI and the work-ways of the Baal Shem Tov, it is truly possible for anyone, and the above preparations are no longer necessary.

If you step in those two, which by the Creator’s grace I have been favored by Him and have received them firmly, and my view is as close to you as the closeness of the father to his son, I will certainly pass them on to you when you are ready to receive from mouth to mouth. 

M. Laitman: Well, this is a personal letter from Baal HaSulam to Rabash, when he received his Semicha, his ordination. His diploma basically, allowing him to be a teacher. That’s how Rabash was advancing.

Reader: Next part, next excerpt. 

Reading: (09:53) 2. RABASH, Letter No. 8

At the end of the day, this is a group of people who have gathered in a certain place, under a certain leader, to be together. With superhuman courage they face up to all those who rise against them. Indeed, they are brave men with a strong spirit, and they are determined not to retreat one inch. They are first-class fighters, fighting the war against the inclination to their last drop of blood, and their only wish is to win the battle for the glory of His name. 

M. Laitman: That's what Rabash is writing. If such people gather, they have one common goal, and they understand that attaining the goal is the most important thing  compared to all the calculations that exist between them. And they annul those calculations for the sake of connection, to attain the goal; this indeed is the correct group. This is a group of people who together can attain this exalted goal. Here in this world. 

Question (PT 3): (11:25) The matter of annulment towards the teacher is very strong in our path. And here we hear that Rabash had also a kind of work that's unclear how it can be done, which is also annulment towards his father. So, how do you come to such a level of devotion where you can relate to a father like a teacher as well in complete annulment? How do these things happen? 

M. Laitman: The Creator arranges each and every one according to special relationships between him and his friends, him and his teacher, him and himself even. So that a person, if he listens, if he accepts what the teacher is sending him, what the Creator is sending him, sorry, all those means, then he can accept them, he can take them correctly, and protect himself, and relate with respect and love and the correct connection to the friends and to the Creator.

Student: Now, when we read in the book about the Rabash and also every time we talk about the Rabash, there's this appreciation that is beyond any imagination, and it always feels like we're lacking something of that appreciation towards the teacher more and more, like you had towards Rabash or Rabash towards Baal HaSulam and so on. How can we come closer to that? 

M. Laitman: I don't know what to say. This has to do with getting to know the importance, the feeling that sometimes a person is thrown out back into his ego, and other times they do let him feel the special state he’s in and which opportunities are so unique. You cannot convey it, you cannot pass it from one to another. Rather, as much as a person understands what was given to him, he needs to use it. Nevertheless, to invest in his preparation towards the friends, towards the teacher, towards the Creator, this will always help him reach spirituality. 

Student: This matter that you can't communicate from one to the other. It's also something you can see. Some friends have the greatness of the path and the Rabash and the Rav, and you always try to cling to them, but it feels like it's never enough. It's never… not enough passes from this thing, this resource called greatness of the Rav. So, what's the advice here? 

M. Laitman: The advice is as Rabash writes, that we have to talk about the greatness of the friends, greatness of the teacher, greatness of the Creator. By sitting and talking and scrutinizing these things without increasing the importance of these means you can't achieve the first spiritual degree, much less climbing later.

In each degree we have to attain a relation of respect, appreciation of the friends, of the teacher and of the Creator, more and more. Without it, there is no power to advance. Without it, a person doesn't understand, but basically, he wants to promote himself. And spiritual progress is to the extent that he promotes them, and himself leaves lower and lower down. And this is the spiritual advancement. Otherwise, he'll be promoting himself egoistically, opposite from the truth. We will talk about it. It's not simple. It depends on a person's subtlety of the soul. Okay? 

Question (PT 6): (16:17) About the introduction you gave, what in the current state of humanity, brings us to the new degree? 

M. Laitman: To the extent that the group is great, and the teacher and the Creator, in the eyes of a person, to that extent, he comes closer to the power of bestowal and enters faith. 

Student: The entrance into faith. That depends on the state of humanity or the greatness of the Rav and society in our eyes? 

M. Laitman: Of course, the most important is the greatness of the group, and the teacher, and the Creator. And humanity, for now we don't really relate ourselves to them. It will come. First, we have to feel ourselves established correctly, established correctly in relation to them, positioned correctly in relation to them. 

Question (PT 31): (17:39) He's describing a state of those walking the path of the Creator that are brave and determined, and they won't move back. Those qualities are qualities that the light develops in us as a result of efforts towards the friends, or do we have to develop it on our own? 

M. Laitman: Here, there are seemingly many sources of influence on a person. You're asking, where is there one principle here. If I take care of that, everything falls into place. The principle is, follow the principle that Israel, the Torah, and the Creator are one. When a person tries to incorporate in the Ten, and he arranges the Ten, so it will be a support, a Shechina, the divinity for the revelation of the Creator in it. 

Reading: (18:48) 3. RABASH, Article No. 10 (1989), "What Does It Mean that the Ladder Is Diagonal, in the Work?"

If the Rav teaches the disciples the work that must be done in order to bestow, meaning why a person comes into this world, to do God’s mission, to work for the sake of the Creator, that person is a messenger of the Creator and not a landlord in this world, but is a servant of the Creator. The meaning of “messenger of the Creator” is “angel of the Creator.” This is the meaning of “If the rav is similar to an angel of the Creator, let them seek to learn from him.” 

Question (Queens): (19:55) The fact that Rabash is a passage between Baal HaSulam  and you, I'm sure it's not a coincidence. And the word higher, or Rav, from the place I came through, means a teacher. And in Hebrew, I heard that it means an ascent. So when you connect teacher and an ascent, it seems like you're character, because you with great patience answer the endless questions. You do so many shows and dissemination. So I wanted to thank you and the Creator for bringing you to Rabash. Have a long life, L'chaim. 

M. Laitman: Thank you very much. But it's really not me. It's how I am directed from above. So everything that is good, say thank you to the Creator. Everything that's bad, you can tell me. 

Question (Kyiv 1): (21:09) What does it mean that a man is the angel of the Creator? 

M. Laitman: Basically, in this world, we need to work as messengers of the Creator, messengers. We continue that same desire from above, which the Creator wants to bring to humanity. We have to extend it, extend that, continue that way that intention that desire, and bring it to humanity. Because there is no connection between humanity and the Creator in such a way that humanity can feel Him.

Rather, we have to create that relation. So we will be in both the spiritual degree, in faith above reason, and on the degree of reason, knowledge, because we are the conduit between the Creator, the force of Bina, we’re like Zeir Anpin, connected to Malchut, to all of humanity. And in this way, we can convey all the forces and discernments to all of humanity. And accordingly, humanity will get closer and connect to us, and it will also rise along with us as a supporting part, as the AHP of the spiritual degree.

And this is how we will advance. Our part is called Israel, Yeshar El, straight to the Creator. It's a small part. It's a weak part, because all the will to receive is in Malchut, and we are in a part that belongs to Bina. And therefore, we have no power. All our powers are through humanity that connects to us, and along with it, we find the strength to rise higher up. All we have is the direction to constantly locate it and try as much as possible to direct our steps toward the Creator.

But the power to do it, we can get when we connect to humanity. On the one hand, this will be heaviness, but to ask for the strength for it, to raise this heaviness up, we will have to ask for them from the Creator. And then we become as a medium between humanity and the Creator. And in this way, we and humanity together, as Galgata Eynaim and AHP, will unite.

Student: There's a feeling that these moments that we’re with you are the most important moments, the most determining moments in our life, and that you have a special calculation towards us and the group on behalf of the Creator. How can we use this time by every friend in the group to really realize? 

M. Laitman: That's what we're reading about. We have to connect in the Ten, and then according to the equivalence of form, we'll be close to the Creator, and then the Creator will dress in us, and will lead us to the purpose of correction. And that's the way there's none other.

Question (Moscow 7): (25:30) What do we need to do in order to find the Torah from the mouth of the teacher? 

M. Laitman: For this, we need to carry out what they write for us. We don't know what is written. It's like children. How do they know exactly what their parents mean when they tell them to do this or that? But if we do exactly what is written, as much as we can, then by doing it, we will understand the intention of those great Kabbalists who write for us, and that way, we will know them through us.

Question (Belarus): (26:32) From this excerpt, what's the difference between the messenger of the Creator and the worker of the Creator? 

M. Laitman: These are two degrees. One degree is a servant or a slave, and the other degree is to be a messenger of the Creator. There are many states of a person toward the Creator. So those two states are very important. We have to try to be in both. It is written about Moses that he was a servant of the Creator, and besides, he was certainly a messenger of the Creator, and more. We will learn about more such roles

Reading: (27:18) 4. RABASH, Article No. 1 (1984), "Purpose of Society – 1"

We have gathered here to establish a society for all who wish to follow the path and method of Baal HaSulam, the way by which to climb the degrees of man and not remain as a beast. 

M. Laitman: That's exactly what we need to understand. I remember that situation when Rabash, and I was taking a walk with him in the park, and I asked him, what should I tell them, to the people who were gathering. Because I brought them from a different place, from Berg's center. So he said, well, I'll write it down for you. I gave him this piece of paper from a cigarette packet, because I had no other paper. And then he wrote it.

We have gathered here to establish a society for all who wish to follow the path of Baal HaSulam, which is the way by which to climb up the degrees of man and not remain as a beast, on the level of a beast. Rising from the level of a beast to the level of man is possible only through a special method, and this is what we received, what we are receiving. Especially now that we are learning about faith above reason, which is really the entry into the ascent, really, the ascent itself. This is why there are those for whom it is very far, those for whom it is already somehow clear, but it doesn't matter. It comes and goes and comes and goes throughout the degrees. It is written about it, “a thousand times shall a righteous fall and rise,” and this is how we'll advance. The important thing is not to quit and continue methodically. And the Creator arranges for us the environment, the world, humanity, everything around us. So we will have no choice, and we'll have to constantly think about the spiritual advancement and also how to drag along all of humanity.

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (30:06) Maybe in a sentence or an explanation, what is the method of Baal HaSulam that Rabash means? 

M. Laitman: I would say that the most important principle is faith above reason. Learn from mouth to ear until it is from mouth to mouth. We're still not talking about it. It's still ahead of us. 

Student: That's something Baal HaSulam developed? 

M. Laitman: Look, there's nothing new under the sun. That's clear. These are not such revelations that… But it wasn't that known, detailed, clear to Kabbalists before them. They understood it, felt it in a more detailed way, clearer, so as to bring it to popular usage. And before them, it wasn't like that. 

Student: And Rabash took Baal HaSulam's method and expanded it? 

M. Laitman: Yes, he detailed it. He elaborated on it. He wrote all his articles. Look what he did. He basically took the whole spiritual path that a person undergoes and interpreted it, wrote about it. It's all like one long novel that talks about man's development from a state, as he writes here in his sentence, to not remain as a beast and how to rise to the degrees of man. And this is what he creates for us, explains to us in all his articles. He really felt that he was committed, obligated to do it.

Student: Is there an addition that Rabash put in the articles or just took what he got from Baal HaSulam? 

M. Laitman: No, of course he added a lot of his own. There are articles of Rabash and articles of Baal HaSulam. The way he wrote about each of them is the way he attained them himself. There's still a difference between the father and the son. Rabash attained it in a more elaborated manner because he already had many students in front of him. The students I brought him were very, very different from people who were completely disconnected from spirituality. They didn't know what it was like and what it was. They had no respect for it. They were contemptuous toward it openly. But when they started learning and returning to this matter more and more, it's not like he learned on them, but he still absorbed from them much of the contemporary perspective on religion and the wisdom of Kabbalah which he didn't know that well before. And he wrote his articles based on that. This is why he, on the one hand, it is so accessible to everyone. And on the other hand, they are very deep, very, very deep. We don't understand what he concealed in his writing. The more we rise on this, on the ladder of degrees until the end of correction, we will see what that person did for us. How he wrote about the whole path in a very special way in all his articles, such states that basically he wrote about the super top degrees. Let's continue. 

Reading: (34:54) 5. RABASH, Article No. 162, "Love of Others"

I look at one tiny dot, called “love of others,” and I think about it: What can I do in order to benefit people? As I look at the general public, I see the suffering of individuals, illnesses and pains, and the suffering of individuals inflicted by the collective, meaning wars among nations. And besides prayer, there is nothing to give. This is called “He who aches because of the affliction of the public— medial.”

 

M. Laitman: Yes, from here we see how he was incorporated in all of humanity and how much he wanted to alleviate their suffering on the one hand. On the other hand, there's no choice but to go through these things, on the one hand. But it's clear to those who look at them, it's like a family. If a baby is sick, the parents suffer much more than the baby. So the same goes for…This is how it happens, this is how he relates to humanity. He looks at this one dot called love of others, and through it, he discovers all of the human suffering. It just shows the perspective of a Kabbalist on everything that happens. 

Question (Brazil 2): (36:54) We hear what Rabash wrote, and I hear your commentary about his experience going through this process and truly doing this for the nation. How can we maintain such states? Because if he wrote it, and he went through the states, these are really, really things that he went through, his flesh and his desire, and yet he came to thought as a given afterwards. How can we maintain this relationship with the other with so much struggle in between these states? 

M. Laitman: The more we rise on the ladder and incorporate within us both the power of Bina and the power of Malchut, and we can be between the two, incorporated and including the qualities of the Creator and the qualities of the created being, and accordingly we are capable of including within us, not like little kids who either laugh or cry. They have these jumps. Here it's the opposite. We can absorb these things and tolerate them and suffer, and at the same time justify the Creator about everything that happens. 

Reading: (38:45) 6. RABASH, Letter No. 8 

Once I have acquired the clothing of love, sparks of love promptly begin to shine within me. The heart begins to long to unite with my friends, and it seems to me that my eyes see my friends, my ears hear their voices, my mouth speaks to them, the hands embrace, the feet dance in a circle, in love and joy together with them, and I transcend my corporeal boundaries. I forget the vast distance between my friends and me, and the outstretched land for many miles will not stand between us.

It is as though my friends are standing right within my heart and see all that is happening there, and I become ashamed of my petty acts against my friends. Then, I simply exit the corporeal vessels and it seems to me that there is no reality in the world except my friends and I. After that, even the “I” is cancelled and is immersed, mingled in my friends, until I stand and declare that there is no reality in the world—only the friends. 

M. Laitman: Well, these words are well known. That's the main thing that he writes to his group. This is what he felt. 

Question (Petah Tikva Center): (40:43) You tell us that there were like six friends with him that were all very old, and here it sounds like they're hugging and dancing, and how does he reach these feelings with that group? It's not clear.

M. Laitman: That's how he felt. 

Student: What does he do that he reaches such feelings that he writes in his letters and articles? 

M. Laitman: When he opens his heart, that's why he feels this way. 

Student: He does it differently than what we do in Yeshivot Havarim and workshops between us. What's the difference? 

M. Laitman: Well, look it depends on the subtlety of the soul, depends on how much he attains forces of reception and bestowal, one opposite the other. So in the gamut between bestowal and reception, he's got possibility to feel every person and all of creation in general. He expands his tools of perception. He calibrates himself according to the range between reception and bestowal, between reason and faith above reason, and that's what allows him to feel so expansively. 

Student: So you really need to make efforts to live in that connection in order to reach these discernments? 

M. Laitman: Yes. You have to exert to feel the connection and the differences between the discernments. Basically, according to this, we measure a person, not like children. He cries and then he laughs, and then he cries and then he laughs. For him, for the child, there's a short distance between the two. A great person has great vessels. Yes? 

Student: Another thing I wanted to ask, when Rabash started studying at Baal HaSulam, he didn't have that group that you came to. So how did he get all this knowledge from Baal HaSulam and the spiritual feelings? How did it work between them? 

M. Laitman: First of all, he learned with Baal HaSulam, even though Baal HaSulam didn't want him to learn, because Baal HaSulam kept everyone away until they were married. He wouldn't let them study until they were married, because according to the root and branch, a bachelor is forbidden to study, an unmarried person. Afterwards, we went into the last generation, and then everyone is obligated to learn. So anyone who wants to, of course, not by force, not by coercion, but Baal HaSulam wouldn't let Rabash come into his lessons until he was married, until he was 18. He wouldn't let him sit in a lesson. Although Rabash said, well, of course, I would give him coffee, I would do something, so I was kind of around him all the time. But I wasn't sitting and studying and asking questions like a student. After he got married, the next day he was permitted to come into Baal HaSulam's lessons.

Baal HaSulam would usually start learning at 1 AM. He himself would get up at 12, midnight, and that's when he began his day, at midnight, midnight at half of the night, that's it. So, he would come to study after that all the time. For us today, it's not important. Today we're in a different time, a different situation. We shouldn't take examples from there. Today it is the last generation when everyone has to study, men, women, children, grown-ups. It's for everyone, only those who want to. 

Question (German 3): (45:39) You said that in Rabash's texts, there's a great depth in there. Is there a certain degree to each article or is it part of one whole? Why do we need so many excerpts if all the stages can be in one letter? 

M. Laitman: Look, what we are learning, according to our lessons, it's not like it was written somewhere. Rather, we learned with Rabash, say, half the lesson, an article that he wrote at that same week, and during the other half, the Study of the Ten Sefirot, that's how the lessons were divided. And we would study the article completely, the way he wrote it. Today, if we study an article in this way, I think everyone will fall asleep after half an hour, not after an hour and a half until we finish it. So we have no choice. I'm afraid that people will not feel substantial changes in every lesson, that they're making some progress, because we're spoiled. Our patience is not great. And therefore, we study from excerpts. But in these excerpts, there is the extract, the essence of these great essays of Rabash and Baal HaSulam. 

This is why I established this method in this way. You want to learn according to articles? We will get to them soon. But there is a lot of material we need to study first. We have to build ourselves. The material we're learning now is according to our situation. But just know that it wasn't like that before. Until Rabash, no one learned according to articles. There were no articles. They would just sit and study. How did they study? Say, they read the Zohar, or even heavier books, more serious books. What did we do, what did they do? They would wait patiently until the light reformed them. That's it. Until what they learned influenced them, and they received some changes. And that's how they learned for generations, centuries. But we're not in that state. We're like, either you give it to me, or I quit. I'm afraid you'll quit. That's why I try to give you, each day, some sweets, something, to keep it interesting. Because that's how people are built today with their egos. That's our problem. We have to take it into consideration. 

Question (Bishkek): (49:43) Rabash writes that he doesn't have anything to give to humanity except for prayer. Is he hinting about something, or does he mean something deeper than prayer, or how to pray correctly for humanity? 

M. Laitman: You can't teach prayer. It has to come from the heart. The prayer is the work in the heart. And therefore, we can only explain it. But in truth, according to the direction of our hearts, when we want to connect, when we want to direct ourselves to the Creator, to approach Him, to be incorporated in Him, according to all those inclinations, tendencies, basically, we are in a prayer. A prayer is not what we say with our lips. A prayer is what we feel in our desire, in our hearts. And therefore, that's the main thing. Clear? 

Student: So basically, he wanted to convey the method to all of humanity? 

M. Laitman: No. It's written, raise the boy in his own way, meaning you can't take the same method and come with it to everybody. There's people without points in the heart. That the point in the heart isn't speaking through them. So, you can't come up to them with faith above reason. They won't understand what you're talking about, they won't understand. Or either it's people that are ready for spirituality in the future, but right now their ego is so big that it won't let them see that there's such a thing as bestowal. No. I remember myself, but also faith above reason. What is faith above reason? What is he trying to say? I don't know. What's studying mouth to mouth? I don't know. It's things that you hear about, you're able to hear after many years. And also we need to take that into consideration towards others. 

Question (Hungarian-Polish): (52:29) Thank you so much for sharing so many details about Rabash. But the last article for me, there is a lot of secret. I feel that you can't reach spirituality, not without certain type of emotions. And here in these pieces we just read, there is a hint of how to achieve all the reality through the friends. I missed something here to connect all the dots to achieve what Rabash is so gently describing here. So how to get to that point where I say, and I state there is no other reality than the friends, exactly like Rabash said? 

M. Laitman: We're trying to do i, we're trying. Scrutinize between you. And again, through questions, through efforts, we'll solve it, we'll get there. Still, we're advancing and today we feel a lot more than we felt a few months ago. 

Question (PT 35): (53:52) You said before that Rabash wouldn't let students come into the lesson if they weren't married. What is the meaning of a wife on the path? 

M. Laitman: In our times, it's also to explain to them as much as we can too, our lessons are open, and for questions and answers, we do it once a week. But there really isn't much to ask, truly. When you ask, it also covers the possibilities of questions that they would have asked.

Question (Beer Sheva): (54:43) Many aspects concerning the departure of Rabash. There's no question about his contribution, immense contribution to our spiritual path. My question is different. On the path we're going through, with your guidance, who was his personal disciple, is this remembering, commemorating? Does that help us build the soul of Adam HaRishon, because we're incorporated with his writings and his guidance through you? 

M. Laitman: Of course it is, because we, by this, connect more and more to the method. Another part and another part in advancement towards the correction. That's why it's worth it to mention him and his method, because from him we are drinking, we are receiving all the spiritual forces. Whatever you do, you're connected to the Creator through all the Kabbalists that came before you and paved the path for you, even though you don't know them. But for sure, that's how you are connecting to the Creator, and it can't be otherwise. 

Student: May I continue, Rav, with your permission? You're in a special situation as his disciple and as our teacher. You, in fact, are the only one who can, beyond the structure of the soul of Adam HaRishon, the personal relation to a personal acquaintance. How do you feel toward his departure? Are you sorry? Are you happy that he gave us these special abilities to you that he gave you from the Creator? How do you relate to the departure of Rabash? 

M. Laitman: My attitude towards it is that me, as all Kabbalists in all generations, I have to keep the path going to teach the students, and as much as I can, make of them good teachers, faithful to the advancement of all of humanity. That's it. And the more I can pass to them the essential important points in man's development, that they don't deviate to all kinds of directions that usually the will to receive wants us to make mistakes in that. That we'll keep going either right or to the left in all kinds of methods, all kinds of them, but we have to stay on a way that it's on the middle line. That all of humanity, no matter what states they're going through, no matter what methods they are in, religions, faiths, it doesn't matter. They will be able, along with it, to keep going with the wisdom of Kabbalah without any problem and advance in that way. I can't speak about it much, but you'll understand more and more how the wisdom of Kabbalah doesn't belong to any religion and any faith and any nation, nothing. It's completely a method in its own right. That's why it's open for everybody and can live along with any other thing a person does in this world. Let him do his corporeal business, faiths, prayers, anything. In Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, anything. There's no problem, please let him do it. We're speaking about the connection with the upper force that the wisdom of Kabbalah is developing in a person. That is equal to everybody.

Question (Karmiel): (59:47) Why, when we read Rabash's articles, they're pulling us in, they're close to us. When we read Baal HaSulam's articles, they seem as if a person is speaking to you from outer space. Why is there such a difference?

M. Laitman: You could be right a bit. It's because Baal HaSulam was in a period that even though he wanted but there still wasn't a real ability in practice, to turn to the public, a broad public of students as Rabash. That's why what he wrote, he wrote in an upper manner, more scientific, spiritual. And Rabash already was in a state that the wisdom of Kabbalah was in a descent towards people. It came closer, not a descent, it came closer to humans, to people. That's why he wrote it in that way. There were students in front of him that I brought him from Tel Aviv, meaning guys, all free from anything, weren't dependent on anything, on nothing. That's why it was easier for him to speak to them. 

Question (Turkiye 4): (01:01:27) Last week I watched a clip from the archive in which a friend came to the group and made a speech to friends. And I remember he mentioned that Rabash kept Mikhail closer to himself than me, even though I was with him longer years, but he kept Mikhail too close. And even he gave his personal notes about spirituality to him. And my question is, what did Rabash see inside you? Why did he keep you so close to him?  

M. Laitman: Look, the moment I found that place where you can study the wisdom of Kabbalah, and I knew a bit of it, whatever I could know before for a beginner. I learned for, I don't know, half a year. I decided I'm going to the Rabash and only studying. That's how I organized my life. I had a big house in Rehovot and a penthouse. And I moved to Bnei Brak to a three bedroom, a rented three bedroom, and I changed everything, I changed everything. And I don't know exactly, you have to ask Rabash, what he gave and what he did. I'm still discovering today all kinds of new things that he implanted in me. And then that whole group we had, it keeps going. It's not that it happened then and today it isn't. It keeps going and keeps going in this work. He is the connector between us and Baal HaSulam's path to the Creator. So, it's all there. It's all there, and each one can come and connect through the entire system. And that's what we're doing towards the Creator and receive guidance from Him. Eventually, everybody gets guidance from the Creator Himself. 

Student: When I see your devotion when I read your journey to Rabash and what you did for your service to him, I feel like I am doing nothing. I'm just in front of the PC and clicking and joining the morning lesson, dissemination, but when I look at the effort that you gave, the devotion you give to your teacher, that I'm nothing and I feel jealousy towards you and I don't know. 

M. Laitman: I'm happy that that's how you appreciate me, but truly each one of you is doing great things, and if you take into consideration the state of the generation. So when I was at Rabash it was 45 years ago the difference was clear. It's obvious how the world has changed. I don't think that every generation and its people have to work in this generation. I'm teaching you and you are learning and organizing in Tens, that's the main thing, and through the Tens bestowing to humanity. That's the next stage we are going to get to. For now let's just adopt what's coming to us from Rabash. Where are we? 

Reader: Exit number seven. 

Reader: Friends, we will now continue a life lesson with Rav. Now let's sing.
