People imagine we believe that Abraham and Moses gave the world the ideas of morality and value of life.
It is not true. These ideas were known to Adam and to Noah. It is just that, with time, humankind had mostly forgotten them.
What these giants brought to the world was a greater idea: That the values essential to humanity’s survival can endure only when they have a larger context: when we understand ourselves as created beings engaged by the Master of this Universe to take care of His world.
Reaching Out To The Source
The Source of this world is beyond this world.
We are in exile, detached from His world.
We live in a world of opposite qualities and values to His world.
We were only given this world in order to use it as a gate to His world.
We are not separated from His world by any spatial distance. We are remote from Him in our qualities and attitude to each other.
He imprinted this evil inclination in us that sees an 'I' and a separate 'you'. This nature causes all the negativity between us.
Those in whom a desire to reach the Source has awakened are responsible to use the method of the kabbalists Abraham and Moses to unite their spiritual aspirations together to draw His Light to correct our nature. This positive energy will radiate to unite all humanity in peace, ready to exit this temporary world and climb the ladder to reach the Source in the World of Azilut.

In 2002 I received a received cup for a poem from the International Society of Poets due to one of my poems. I was furious due to a change of a word in it by an editor, but I thought of as the main usage of the word. My wife knew of my anger but kept it inside, and how much it kept me “forever” blocked.
However, I have grown enough to perceive the growth in me from the Master of this Universe, that here I am writing for Him in Chabad.
