      What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Is a jewish soul better then a gentile soul? Why does a gentile have to convert?

        I guess thats more from a religious respective, if you can answer it from both religious and the  Kabbalistic prospective.

          Religious: Jew is the identity one assumes by either inheriting it through their mother or by conversion in adoption of practices and belief.

          Gentile would be one who is not a Jew by birth or who has not converted…

          Kabbalah: “Jew” derives from the Hebrew word “Yichud,” which means “unity” or “one who strives for unity with the Creator.

          Gentile refers to the other desires within a person who do not yet want to work for the Creator.

          Circumcision is removal of egoistic desires keeping us from advancing until we have the ability to handle them.

      Can pleasure/joy increase holiness or must experience suffering/hardship to move forward?

        Depends what kind of suffering though. Hunger is suffering yet it serves us by preparing the place for pleasure.

      I guess making money and reaching spirituality isn’t analoguous fully: making money have to invest efforts and money first and it may not succeed but studying spirituality is immediately beneficial to the person right?

        Part of the growth is a person rising above the logic and reason of reward/punishment and wanting to adhere to the Creator unconditionally.
