1. To study kabbalah do I need to do religion things like going to shabat on friday and saturday and give 10%of my income to clean my money from satan ,this sound like a religion practice to me,also why women have so little roll, some times seems that we just need to do whatever men decide ,please as a woman i need to know my roll as per your opinion in reference to some coments of Rav.Laitman in this subjet, Thank you very much

2. in Esther the last chapter purim is spelled the same way as bullocks. can this mean also that when bullocks are spoken of as being sacrficed in psalms chapter 51 at the end can it also mean that lots or agreements are being offered on the alter since no one man or beast should be harming each other at that time ? thanks for your answer

3. Why they are born disabled children ? what is the purpose of that ? Kind regards, Michael

4. Aside from the obivious benifits of raising our conscious awareness on a world scale how would this affect the \”cosmic awareness\” of the universe as a whole?

5. What can I do and how should I work in a group of people where the most of them are not interested in studding and learning and they are in a training course just because they have no job and being in the training they can receive a small subvention. I have tried to make them see how it is important to learn, no matter what we will do in life in the futur. But the most of they don\’t want to think about. Now they have computers; a part of the group play games, they are in you tube or sending mails to their friends… How can I help them and help me? For the moment i am in my \”corner\”, doing my work and learning and revising what i know, as there is always space to improve. This is a long question… Thank you very much Maria Pires

6. Why is it that I am not interested in many things anymore, and still enjoy anything that comes into my experience?

7. How does Kabbalah explains the death of a 1 year old girl…due to a disease which could not be cured. What meaning had her life according to Kabbalah and what does it mean for the parents, to only have their baby for such a short time…thank you very much.

8. How does Kabbalah opens up the Upper Worlds to You.

9. From the view of a kabbalah, what is the heaven and hell, it exist or is just a way that someone use it to explain the ways of kabbalah like all the other things in torah and the bible?

10. It is so hard to think positive when the world is so negative. How can Kabbalah help me? What books should I be studying?

11. Are the books \”Sepher Rezial Hemelach: The Book of the Angel Rezial\” by the author Steve Savedow and \”The Sword of Moses, an Ancient Book of Magic: From an Unique Manuscript\” by the author Moses Gaster good reference material for the study of Kabbalah? Thank you for your kind attention to this matter. Barry Roberts

12. I read that Kabbalah says this world that appears external is really within oneself. How can it be within me and all the others on the planet, not to mention the immensity of it all?

13. hi the Rav says how important it is in Kabbalah to be married. Yet, what can a man do if he does not trust women either from past betrayals or not trusting women in general as they are always looking to receive and thus can always be suspected to go astray and look for a better situation, should a current situation be unfavorable. as egoism grows, how can we maintain a connection between man and wife? i have this question several times, can you please give me an answer. thank you

14. Can you share a simple way to open myself to the light on a daily basis?

16. Is it possible for me to understand the reasons for everything that happens to me in my life?

17. If I talk to my boss about me being absent from work in order to attend a Kabbalah congress and then he asks \”what is kabbalah?\” how should I answer him?

18. What i have found the most interesting about this kabalah course is that you don\’t refer to god as something, and it more like a way of life like a philosophy. I´m very fond of the religion of Buddhism and of being open minded and including new things into my way of seeing things. I know there´s something powerful running around us and I just cant find a good explanation of what this is and how can i have a perpetual enlightenment of happiness in my life, is there anything I should know that you recommend me?

19. What lessons can be learned from Kabbalah, in order to teach people to let go of anger and move on from certain situations?

21. Why is assumed the creator wants to fill the creature with delight? How do we know what he wants?

22. I participate in boxing and ultimate fighting and since beginning my study of kabbalah I have begun to have thoughts that the violence in boxing is not right. I have a tough time with this though because I feel boxing and martial arts are my true calling. I would just like to know your opinion on this. Thank you.

23. Is the world of quantum physics and other science just re-explaining these ancient laws in a re-defined scientific terminology? Are things like the matrix of the universe derived from kabbahlistic teachings?

24. Please comment on this statement \”GOD IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT HUMAN PARTICIPATION\”

25. One statement that I have heard form many resources about Kabbalah is that it is a science. Is that to say that Kabbalah uses the scientific method or similar analytical processes to arrive at conclusions? I feel clarification on this would be most enlightening.

26. May a Kabbalist eat pork, crab, shrimp and lobster? What is God\’s NAME?

27. How is it that Malchut became divided into many souls? First it was Malchut, then… many souls. It only says it happened, it does not say HOW, it became to happen.

28. (Name pronounced Qual-check) What does the zohar have to say about defending oneself and family or country against attack by those who believe they are doing God\’s work in killing civilian men, women and children by launching rockets, suicide bombings, beheading or just 1-on-1 murder? What would a kabbalist consider \’Amelek\’ to be in today\’s world? Would it be right and just for kabbalists to rise and destroy \’Amelek\’? Are innocent souls who who suffer under the hands of terrorists, be they Nazis in the 40s or today\’s jihadists, expiating for having been detached from their source (the endless light) in their current or prior transmigrations? Thanks

29. I recall hearing that Abraham was the founder of Kabbalah. I also recall hearing that in the Torah, the language of branches is used. I can understand why it is used. According to Kabbalah, did the events in the Torah actually happen or are they just forms branch-language communication. Are people who believe the Torah word-for-word (literally) mistaken, accurate, or part-right, part-mistaken? Do the orthadox and ultra-orthadox view Kabbalah as truth or heresy?

30. How can I never have to worry about getting more weed?

31. Are the \’big\’ things in life,like how many marriages or how many children we will have predetermained? Like,is it already set for me I will have one child or two ? I believe that all major event are predetermained as some major things that we need to experience…so then,that would include those things marriage and children,but sometimes I have doubts…

32. I can\’t seem to get out of my addictive behavior. How can Kabbalah help me? Thanks

33. Was Jesus a Kabbalahlist? I seems so to me from the scriptures that he had access to the upper worlds.

34. Dear Teacher, I\’m currently reading a book \”A Guide to the Hidden Wisdom of Kabbalah\” written by Rav Michael Laitman, it\’s indeed a very good book, it had enlightened me very much, thank you very much! I currently read until chapter 11: Body & Soul. And got a question that pop-up in my mind: A person can have how many souls dwell in his/her body in a lifetime so as for the purpose to correct? (if multiple souls exist in a body, is that mean that we own multiple identities? and how 600,000 souls fit in the ~6.78 billion people today?) Sorry for bothering. Thank you very much for your patience and answer. Regards, Chew Choon Min

35. Although I\’ve been searching for spiritual fulfillment for years, I feel I\’ve not gained even a modicum of enlightenment. How do I know if I\’m ready to receive the wisdom of Kabbalah?

36. If a soul started learning Kabbalah in his/her previous body and did not succeed to enter to the Holiness, will he/she go on learning Kabbalah in his/her next appearance?

37. I have 1,5 year experience of studying kabbalah in group and 1 year experience before group. I am trying to do my best. I have noticed several things: I do not get from group anything except „downs\”. I have to do very hard work to stay in group and to continue. Accidentally I have listened a lesson of Rav Laitman where he said that only \”dawns\” are the true growth of \”kli\”. The \”kli\” consists of many \”dawns\” (describing \”dawns\” he mentioned specific word in Hebrew language like \”ecunot\” which make a \”cyon\”). If it is so, when my group is doing best making me \”dawn\” every time when I initiate a project of dissemination or try to discuss the content of an article? Is it the true purpose of group – to make a place for my work on myself? If it is so why the main stream of methodic says that \”the group is destined to give you the greatness of Creator\”?

38. When will there be an advanced course?

39. Dear sirs, where come in Kabbalah the exact discrete numbers like 5 worlds, 125 steps, 613, 600 000 etc.? I am always suspicious with such precisely known things in the realms of physically unknown. In other traditions, they have other numbers of various things like spheres, gods, forces, chakras and whatever else, which they claim is true. While I cling to the basic idea of Kabbalah and am intrigued by that, I am a bit sceptical with these seemingly discrete numbers of various things, especially coming from the realm of unknown. Does math play in that realm any role anyway? Thank you. Josef from Czech Republic

40. How does Kabbalah assist one in handling real time problems such as unemploment or finding a job?

41. Hello! I would love to see the course.Could you please tell me in which timezone you are in ,so I can know the time of the programm here in germanv (MEZ) Thanks a lot Marion Ohmer

42. Why is it that once I receive the gift of being one with the Creator that after the initial joy and peace of that experience subsides I then feel as if I don\’t quite know what to do next?

43. Is it by beeing altruist and thogtful towards others that you get equivalence of form with the creator?

44. According to the Kabbalah, mankind is the whole of creation (or the First Man). After he was born, he shattered into 600,000 parts. Why it seems so that we, as parts of that whole, are not all at the same level of spiritual attainment?

45. When will i know i am on the right path learning about Kabbalach. Will it take away the restlessness i am experiencing?

46. Recently I purchased \”The Zohar\” – Annotations to the Ashlag Commentary – – On Page 380 it states that we should constantly seek to perfect and complement our intentions – – Every day I look at myself and attempt to understand my \”intentions\” in all my daily activities – – But I have to say some days I feel like I am an \”idiot\” – – I loose my temper – – I demand my way of dong things – – Will I EVER get past this to be a better person by studying with the group and dissemination projects?

47. How does a person overcome laziness: at work, home and within the study of kabbalah?

48. I live in Arizona close to the phoenix area, I would like you to ask in the class if there are other people from Arizona that we can ge together in group some times for studying because I feel lonely some times. They can reach me though my e-mail almaster2@gmail.com

49. Can god heal our body trough us or trough another person, only thinking on: This hela this helath that i will be given will give me pleasure, so this pleasure is for god and keeping on this goal – the pleasure for god and for us – the healing would be achieved?

50. When everything seems negative & goes wrong, how should one react & tell himself? How should he act towards his boss, fellow workers or even family members?
