Question: If we address the wider public, will we need to raise the topic of the group and show that it is a much more general concept?
Answer: I think the topic of the group is actually a very easy one to explain to the public. After all, the people of Israel are not a nation in the usual sense of the word.
At its foundation, it is a group of Kabbalists established by Abraham. The nation exists as a group, in collective responsibility, in relationships of equality by birth, always with a dismissive attitude toward money and honors.
Throughout all generations, the values of the nation were spiritual. If we add to this the antisemitism and general hatred from the world, it becomes clear that from both the side of good—the spiritual side, and the side of evil—the corporeal side, the entire nation is driven from two directions to exist as a group.
Therefore, this approach, when we speak about ourselves and include the entire nation in this process as a group, is very positive and truly resonates.
In the heart of each person, there is something that is rarely found in other nations, a sense of mutual dependence on one another. At the same time, the nation is split into factions that treat one another in extreme ways with hatred, with envy, which is something not seen in other nations.
A nation may be divided into several religions or parts that do not even interact, yet they allow each other to live. But here, that is not the case. There is no tolerance for division within the nation into factions.
We need to explain that, in fact, this is what brings all the evil that exists, that we are all responsible for one another “as one man with one heart.” The people already have a certain readiness for this: they understand that this is harmful, even on a corporeal level, and can also come to realize that, spiritually, this is damaging.
