To development of the desired unity

In the late 2024 I’ve prepared the article “The practical development of the desired unity in the elementary link of Israeli society” for to discuss with Rabbi of conservative synagogue an opportunities to develop ideological unity among the stable participants.

Participants of congregations and clubs can move in their environment from the bravura slogan "everyone must be united to confront the Islamist threat" to forming their real contribution to the development of such unity:

- in small groups, work on themselves to identify the potential of interpersonal unity needed for participation in such confrontation;
- identify procedures for activating this potential;
- activate it in an appropriate manifestation in an accessible contextual environment.

I first came to Bet Israel when there was a meeting with a group of candidates for city government. I was attracted by the prospect of seeing the entire group of competitors for the votes of city residents - in contrast to the fact that in several Russian-speaking clubs we were presented with only two Russian-speakers who bravuraly assured us how successfully they would defend our interests.

In the Bet Israel I became acquainted with the Prayer Book and other books of the Conservative direction of Judaism. The methodology of work of each individual with his soul and, through the soul, with the actions that fill the life of a person, presented in them, turned out to be so impressively close to what I was taught in the American and English conversion programs for the collapsed Soviet Union.
The leaders of the Western world, as good realists, were not so much delighted by the unexpected victory in the "cold war" as they were afraid of what would happen to the nuclear potential of the former enemy and its defense industry. Conversion programs were supposed to facilitate 1. the transfer of the overstrained defense industry of the mortally overextended giant to the production of peaceful products and cooperation with the West, 2. the formation of managers of various levels to work not within the strict framework of the totalitarian system, but in the liberal system of activity developed by the West. (by now these hopes for peaceful cooperation with the defeated communist Goliath have not been justified)

I was successful in "jackal" fishery at the American Embassy in Moscow. When, with the fatal outcome of the USSR and the emergence of Yeltsin's Russia, the lions from the administrative and party leadership of TsAGI, high-level institution in aeronautical industry, "turned tail", I decided to call the Moscow Institute of the USA and Canada to consult on further research in my (!?) topic – A comparative analysis of domestic and foreign productions of aircrafts.

The answer on the other end of the phone line was almost enthusiastic! – From TsAGI?! Can you come tomorrow?

Under some deceptive pretext (well, yes, I'm a liar - but, this is excusable, I've already been expelled from the party; yes, and I'm cheating in the interests of the cause – as a patriot) I took a vacation and rushed off.

And there are... American men. We came to build the conversion (transfer to non-military products) of the former Soviet defense industry. We need to grab hold of some specific items with specific "defenders". The situation is so new that the Institute of the USA and Canada is at a loss who to bring Americans together with. And the "representative" from the TsAGI management department is very useful.

I taught the Americans that it is necessary to form two teams – from the TsAGIand theirs and to work on understanding the problem “плечом к плечу”- shoulder to shoulder. That I will tell the commercial director of TsAGI about them. And... the process started. This gave me the opportunity to practically "pollinate myself with Western experience" with the transition to study in the program of the London Business School and the OBS of the Open University of Great Britain.

Only now does the Internet make it possible to more clearly imagine who I was working with at that time. At that first meeting, I contacted the head of the American group several more times during his visits to Moscow. This is Dr. John Battilega with 40 years of experience as a manager and analyst in US national security programs, at that time he was a member of advisory groups to the government and the Ministry of Defense In 1969-77. He developed analytical methods for studying the nuclear threat from the USSR. In 1977-97 . He led a large international transdisciplinary team on the comprehensive study of defense strategy and modernization of the armed forces of the USSR/Russia. At the same time, in 1973-99, he was vice president of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and director of the Center for Research on Foreign Systems at this corporation. The emphasis was placed on a HOLISTIC analysis of the CONTENT of the states and processes of the studied objects, and then on the identification of dimensional relationships.

One more example for the fertile environment of the fishery.

In between visits to Moscow by people of the level of the Elite with the post-Soviet "defense industry", there are worked professors from Pepperdine University being attracted by the American government commission.
Pepperdine University participated in the training of personnel for the State Department and the intellectual structures serving it, for the intellectual links of other bodies of the highest leadership of the United States. The conditions of the offensive counteraction of the USSR with the introduction of a socialist orientation among the countries of the "third world", with the emergence of new and new hotbeds of inspired armed struggle – all this required a breakthrough in the field of building up the business competence of the elite strata of the American human resource. First of all, it was a clearly understood objective need of the managerial links of the American state. Unique educational programs have been created with a focus on mastering the students' holistic vision of problematic situations, the formation of effective behavior.

Apparently, this is why the Senate commissions and other leading US government agencies involved the university's faculty, along with staff from other leading US universities, in intensive work with the unexpected appearance of POST-Soviet Russia. Russia - which both frightened the unstable possessor of nuclear and other weapons with its condition, and encouraged the likelihood of restructuring for mutually beneficial cooperation with the "Western" world.

In the situation of confusion and disorganization of old landmarks and connections, I was convenient for many managers and new active people because I did not pretend to seize positions, seize property, but was ready and competently comparatively prepared.

At a sociological conference the head of the group of sociologists working at the last congresses of the CPSU, and the dean Vladimir Dobrenkov, the Faculty of Sociology at Moscow State University, accepted me into the Soviet Sociological Association.

The requests of influential government stakeholders led to the formation of the University's preparedness for management consulting of teams from the highest political echelon of the United States.

Management consulting is conducted by teams of specially trained and qualified individuals who help the customer organization identify management problems, analyze them, give recommendations on how to solve these problems and, if necessary, assist in the implementation of solutions. This is intensive professional assistance on a temporary basis - with an impartial view from the outside.

I had the opportunity to talk with American consultants and their "Western" employers about visiting TsAGI, accompany consultants and their employers (US Congressman, congressional commissions, international commissions) from Moscow to Zhukovsky near Moscow – to TsAGI, participate (silently or assent) in negotiations with TSAGI Director German Zagainov and in negotiations with specialists, to pass with the guests a tour of the Institute's unique, impressive experimental facilities, the TsAGI Museum, and accompany them again on their return trip to Moscow. Several times it was possible to bring them on the way to the architectural pearl – the architect Bazhenov church; once, with the permission of the priest, the guest's wife also climbed the bell tower with a well–marked trepidation (she is some kind of "Western", Protestant or something, of religion, and here is an Orthodox church!) she pulled the bell's tongue; then we went down from the temple to the font, wet our feet and the guests explained their perplexity to the local "women", which caused the untimely bell ringing.

For me, asking, listening, observing the signs and meanings of the former military-ideological enemy who defeated us was essential.

Then, a quarter of a century ago, I could not have foreseen that I would be concerned about how the children's, granddaughters and great-granddaughters of ordinary Israelis could survive in an environment where American SCIENCE HOW TO WIN (borrowed by those who directly declare "Israel will not live!") works in the strategy of "Using the Israeli victim to slow down the onslaught of Islamism on the West as much as possible." This was not regular training, it was a process of episodic "pollination", which formed at least some competence in the field of management consulting for clients driven by ambitious goals in difficult problem situations. Then I gained my own practical experience – working in teams with industrial giants KAMAZ, RUSAL, Bashneft, etc.

The intensity and generosity of American consulting services for Russia were the product of the hopes of the American leadership that, finally, America would really be able to fulfill its declared mission – responsibility for establishing good relations everywhere in the world. To carry out this mission together with relatively weaker partners. Especially in partnership with the new Russia, which will be strong enough to jointly influence other states and peoples and will be weaker than America itself, so as not to compete, but to adapt to America.

I once read that there will be a several–day project workshop on conversion at the Moscow City Hall - conducted by American consultants. I arrived, they don't let me in – selected COMPETENT figures participate. An American delegation came up, led by the head of some commission - the brother of a senator (as far as I remember, Thomas Kemp); he recognized me as the organizer of some negotiations. He introduced me to the seminar group and I received another practical school for serious study of a serious problem.

Britain fought intensively for its place in this system of relations, aimed at supporting the transition process in Russia and, as the heiress of centuries–old experience of intra-European competition, sometimes with Russia's participation, worked intensively with its goals: 1. generally "Western" goals are to make a nuclear new Russia an accomplice in the protection of "Western" civilization and
2. at the same time, keep Russia below the second place next to America.

I met with a representative of the British policy instrument, the British government program Know–How Foundation (FNH), at some forum in the Kremlin. We talked in more detail at TsAGI, I visited his apartment-office and he organized a free connection for me to the course of the London Business School at the Center of Academician-economist Shatalin.

My position:

A. The Jews in Israel and other countries should impose on the "West" the attitude towards Israel and Israelis as "to their own", which is still possible for the existence of the State of Israel. In the event of the threat of the Islamists seizing the territory of the current Jewish state, the "West" should wage a war in defense of this territory as if it were its territory, its people. The West is sending its fighters and other supplies in addition to cash in Israel. The West is evacuating non-military Israelis from dangerous territory in a timely and orderly manner, as its own people.

 B. to use my personal resource to explore the possibilities and obstacles in imposing such an attitude towards Jews and the existing Jewish state on the "West". The use of modest personal opportunities and personal resources for accessible influence in the area of reach - on representatives of the communal "elite", on "grassroots" Jews, especially in Israel.

There must be a breakdown in the Israeli Jewish mentality, first of all, then in the world Jewish mentality. Then, despite the fact that Israel is much weaker than Russia in front of America, America may also be FORCED to treat Israel's insistence with understanding.

The Torah is connected with Life in a systematically integral triangle:

1 "study of the Torah" - development of orientation in the relationship of the Self and the Systemic-Integral LIFE. Study of the Torah leads both to prayer and to religious practice.

2 mobilization of the urge to live oneself in support of the Systemic-Integral LIFE - through "prayer".

3 effective use of one's urge to live oneself in support of the Systemic-Integral LIFE "fulfillment of the commandments" –LIVING ONESELF.

Reflecting on the dynamics of one's orientation and motivation, it makes sense to identify and control these MEDIATING influences "from the Torah."
