Studying with friends [2026-05-07] #lesson

This episode of Kabbalah Media explores the transformative power of physical and virtual gatherings among friends, centered on the spiritual principle of 'love of friends' as taught by Rabash. The Turkish 10—spanning multiple continents and time zones—shares their journey of overcoming logistical, emotional, and spiritual obstacles to meet in person, culminating in a deeply moving experience in Ankara. Through personal testimonies, they recount miraculous encounters, such as a chance meeting between two friends from Germany and America, which exemplified Rabash’s teaching that true connection transcends physical distance. The episode builds toward the upcoming 10th Congress, framing it as a pivotal spiritual event where the collective desire to transcend corporeal boundaries will reveal the Creator through unity. The hosts emphasize that preparation is not just logistical but deeply internal—requiring self-nullification, prayer, and a shift from self-centeredness to genuine love for others. The session closes with a call to action for all tens to share their unique preparations with the global community, reinforcing the idea that the Congress is not just an event but a collective spiritual leap. Key takeaways include: (1) Physical gatherings are not just convenient but spiritually essential for strengthening unity and revealing the Creator; (2) True connection begins with the internal desire to transcend ego and self-interest; (3) Miracles often emerge when we pray collectively and act with faith; (4) Preparation for spiritual events is a daily practice of self-nullification and alignment with the group; (5) The most powerful gifts we give each other are not material, but the spiritual efforts and stories of our inner work; (6) Distance is not a barrier when the heart is united; (7) The Congress is a collective opportunity to declare 'there is no reality in the world except the friends'; (8) Sharing our unique struggles and joys with the global ten strengthens the entire network.
