Rabash. All of Israel Have a Part in the Next World. 3 (1987) [2026-04-23] #lesson

This Kabbalah lesson, based on a 1987 article by Rabash titled 'All of Israel Have a Part in the Next World,' explores the spiritual meaning of being 'Israel' not as a racial or ethnic identity, but as a state of inner alignment with the Creator through a covenant of bestowal. The core teaching is that 'all of Israel' have a part in the next world, but only those who actively keep the covenant—defined as a commitment to act in order to bestow, not to receive—qualify. This covenant is not automatic; it requires faith above reason, where one chooses to act despite internal resistance, fear, or lack of pleasure. The lesson uses vivid metaphors: the covenant as a binding agreement made in anticipation of future separation, the three spiritual states (male, female, and non-human) reflecting a person’s capacity to overcome ego, and the concept of Shabbat as rest from labor, symbolizing a state of spiritual completion. The lesson also delves into the structure of the soul—Galgalta ve'Enayim (vessels of bestowal) and Achab (vessels of reception)—and explains how correction occurs through discernment, group support, and the power of faith. Ultimately, the path to becoming Israel is one of self-annulment, free choice, and inner work that transforms the will to receive into a will to bestow, culminating in a world where all creation is united with the Creator, and the distinction between 'this world' and 'the next world' dissolves.
