      Is there a correct way for us to address a lack/deficiency within the connection of the ten ?  it would seem it depends on the intention ? if this is done in love because the feeling of the lack of unity and not any one person or blame but as a whole would this be a call for a common prayer? and is a common prayer a common prayer if not all have the same prayer? (perhaps this is part of our work to come to the common prayer )

      either way how to delicately address these issues to your ten ?

        A prayer of many is a prayer for the whole. But coming to something you all want is also part of the work. Don’t wait to turn to the Creator, but also try to arrive at something common between you.

          and a prayer of many can be anything more than one ? (two or more) correct ?

        • #441555

          Baal HaSulam writes that a prayer of many is a prayer for the many. Thus, I need at least one other, who is outside me, to pray for.

      Do incarnated angels exist on earth among us? Do they know they are angels or do they don’t know? Can a human being become an angel?

      • #441525

        Rabash and Rav once came upon a horse. Rabash said, “That’s an angel.” An angel is one who goes by the instincts and all the thoughts that arise in him. The forces that push him this way, and that way, are also called angels. Gravity is an angel. Throughout the worlds are such forces of the Creator that don’t have free will, so they’re called angels.

          this means we are either beasts or angels, and I am smacking my forhead during writing and understanding, because I have heard this a couple of times in our envirment. We’re not yet human beings, it is about to become ones. Is the force of Kashiut, of resistence/rejection against needs and desires which differenciates human beings from beasts or angels? or not even this? because we learn that we actually have no free will, not even to choose an envirnment, it is all chosen by the Creator for us, according to the tasks within His divine plan and within His Will He determined for us?

      Does anyone ever have a tens meeting while the morning lesson is going on?

        If we usually watch the morning lesson, why would we meet during the most important activity, which itself is an action of drawing the Reforming Light through our connection.

          We had this exact scrutiny come up with our YG ten last night so I am thankful to see this posted here . A Majority of friends cannot make a meeting until around the time in which the morning lesson is going on here in the USA . So our question was , In the context of Young group (not permanent tens) If I our ten meeting is during the lesson should we all watch that together instead or do our work for YG which we have been doing ?

        • #441540

          You definitely need to find a time to do the work for the Young Group, first and foremost, otherwise the approach to Rav’s lessons will be skewed.

      Good evening,

      I have a question from a friend:

      I had to put down my dog. It was very heartbreaking, but I thought about Shamati 138. That to the extent I have heart break in the loss of this quality in my perception I redirected it to HIm. So it became a heartbreak for the loss of the connection with the Creator and that we need Him to feel close and to near Him. Is this the correct way of looking at this? There are some other parts of this that I want to ask about as well.

      Many thanks.

      How do we connect to Rav?

      Hi Gianni,

      About the article on giving of the Thorah… I understood that the giving of the Thorah is an everlasting spiritual process and that the light of the Thorah shines to the full extent all the time, but we cannot grasp it (like with our eyes we cannot perceive the sunlight at night). Is it that the light is always there to the full extent on the spiritual journey we discover bit by bit as we discover degree after degree? And if yes… is the (changing, as we develop) light of the Thorah  itself a goal to look out for, or rather like a lightpost guiding the way to reach the goal? So… in our work… internally and in the connection with our friends,  how shall we relate to the importance of sensations related to the light of the Thorah?

      • #441194

        I think Light of the Torah is something one can’t look for, one doesn’t know what it is. It’s just words. Look for connection with the friends, that an Upper Force of bestowal will inhabit that connection.
