Hi Gil,
Seth asked for feedback about his new Pticha class, but we have no email or place to specifically communicate with him, so I’d like to post something here in the hope he will receive it.
Please let him know that the way he is teaching the course is helping people who have taken Pticha and/or the Blueprint of Creation before. His friendly style when using the whiteboard as we read through the Preface together in class, coupled with his warm enthusiasm for the material and how it relates to everyday life make it easier to understand this difficult material. Perhaps part of his success in teaching Pticha flows from his occasional plunges into poetic revelations—apparently springing from years of deep and focused study—about the intricate, yet simple beauty of the Hebrew letters, words, and Gematria.
Above everything, his humility and his desire to connect with the friends opens our ability to feel the truly remarkable and life-changing nature of the Preface.
I know this all sounds laudatory and that the Rav says it’s not wise to absorb too much of that sort of thing, but from my point of view, if he continues to connect in his personal Ten the way he is connecting in the class, his humility will continue to grow and his success will expand with it.
In short, it seems as though, without knowing it, he has been waiting to teach Pticha since before he was born.
All is the Creator.

In response to Gianni’s challenge for the Young Group, here goes my excerpt:
Shamati 19. What Is the Creator Hates the Bodies, in the Work
Since there is a rule that there is fear of God only from a place of dearth, and a place of dearth is called “the will to receive”, it means that only then is there a place for labor. In what? In that it resists.
It perfectly describes my present dearth/ lack and complete concealment of the Creator, justifying it as a necessary step in the path.
Gianni’s invitation to write down one’s favorite excerpt from the sources, with motivation why so, as ‘homework” for his young group:
Baal Hasulam – Shamati I Heard
208. Labor
The efforts that one makes are but preparations for achieving devotion. Hence, one should grow accustomed to devotion, since no degree can be achieved without devotion, as this is the only tool that qualifies one to be rewarded with all the degrees.This writing is important to me as it gives clear instruction that devotion to the Friends, Creator, and the path is the only tool that qualifies one for rewards of the degrees. A tool to evolve human collective egotistical nature to shorten the days of blows. A call for me to show up and do what the Creator is requesting.
Gianni’s invitation to write down one’s favorite excerpt from the sources, with motivaton why so, as ‘homework” for his young group:
From “The peace” by Baal Ha Sulam:All is in deposit, and a fortress spreads over all of life. The store is open and the shopkeeper sells by deferred payment; the book is open and the hand writes. And all who wish to borrow may come and borrow, and the collectors return regularly, day by day, and collect from a person knowingly and unknowingly. And they have what to rely on, and the judgment is true, and all is ready for the feast.
An open invitation to live life fully, but consciously, knowing cause and consequence, but there is room for a free choice.
“There is no difference between this world and the next world, except that one is temporary and one is eternal.”
– Yehuda Leib Ha-Levi Ashlag (Baal HaSulam)/Articles, Remembering
As a young group homework (Gianni) – I chose this excerpt. I picked it up at random. For me it feels like: nothing belongs to us. Everything is what the Creator is giving us. This world dissolves once it loses its purpose. And also – I must say – I think there is no first place award in eternity.
Since a few days ( a week) I can not find the Pticha lessons anymore. ( the ones with Eran and later Gianni and Zohar), in the Grad Environment. Can this be restored, or where can Ifind this lessons from now on? They were (are) so precious.
