\u201cAnd Israel camped there, opposite from the mountain\u201d (Exodus, 19). Our sages interpreted\u2014as one man in one heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Israel are responsible for one another, meaning that the whole of Israel are one discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the force of\u00a0Arvut\u00a0[mutual guarantee], one corrects for another, and everything is corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is presented in\u00a0Midrash Tanchuma, \u201cIsrael will not be redeemed until they are all one society, as it is said, \u2018In those days and at that time, says the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the sons of Judah together.\u2019 Thus, when they are united, they receive the face of Divinity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I presented the words of the Midrash so that you don\u2019t think that the issue of a group, which is love of friends, relates to Hassidism [a branch of Judaism]. Rather, it is the teaching of our sages, who saw how necessary was the unity of hearts into a single group for the reception of the face of Divinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is to speak of the\u00a0Arvut\u00a0[Mutual Guarantee], when all of Israel became responsible for one another. Because the Torah was not given to them before each and every one from Israel was asked if he agreed to take upon himself the\u00a0Mitzva\u00a0[precept] of loving others in the full measure, expressed in the words: \u201cLove thy friend as thyself.\u201d This means that each and every one in Israel would take it upon himself to care and work for each member of the nation, and to satisfy all their every needs, no less than the measure imprinted in him to care for his own needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And once the whole nation unanimously agreed and said, \u201cWe shall do and we shall hear,\u201d each member of Israel became responsible that nothing shall be missing from any other member of the nation. Only then did they become worthy of receiving the Torah, and not before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When one feels that one\u2019s soul exists in the whole of Israel, in each and every one of them\u2026 At that time, he is complete, flawless, and the soul truly shines on him in its fullest power, as it appeared in\u00a0AdamhaRishon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baal HaSulam, \u201c600,000 Souls\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Haman said that in his view, we will succeed in destroying the Jews because they are separated from one another; hence, our force against them will certainly prevail, as it causes separation between man and God. And the Creator will not help them anyway, since they are separated from Him. This is why Mordecai went to correct that flaw, as it is explained in the verse, \u201cthe Jews gathered ,\u201d etc., \u201cto gather themselves together, and to stand for their life.\u201dThis means that they had saved themselves by uniting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baal HaSulam,\u00a0Shamati\u00a0[I Heard], 144,
\u201cThere is a Certain People\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are all beautiful, my wife.\u201d \u201cThe whole of the soul shall praise the Lord.\u201d The perfection of Divinity is in the soul of the Messiah King, who is an only daughter. However, to be complete, all the other souls must bond within her, and they all become one within Her, and then Divinity shines with great correction, for she is a bride. And then, \u201cYou are all beautiful, my wife, and there is no blemish\u201d that remains, for through the force of the\u00a0Arvut, one corrects for another, and everything is corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
