Below is the complete shiur which our Rebbe Rav Eliezer Berland shlit”a gave over after the recital of 7 Tikkun HaKlalis at the prayer gathering last Thursday night – Erev Rosh Chodesh Elul in the city of the patriarchs, Hevron:
Then this gathering is preparation for the giving of the Torah. Now Moshe ascends to Mount Sinai to receive the second Tablets. Now we are already receiving the third Tablets – the Ten Commandments. Therefore, Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, Moshe, Aharon, Yosef, David, and Sarah, Rivkah, Rachel, and Leah, who are found here near to us, behind this wall Sarah, Rivka, and Leah, are found – everything together is the numeral value of “I am Hashem your G-d” (Shemot 20:2) – all Seven Shepherds, with the four matriarchs, this is exactly the number. “I am Hashem your G-d Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage” = 2495.
Now, this is the giving of Torah mamash; everyone who was here at the gathering merited to the giving of the Torah. This is as if now there was the giving of the Torah mamash! All of those who merited to come to the gathering merited to the giving of the Torah, to the third Tablets, to the new Tablets, that now they’ll bring them in this redemption, that it may be this year, Amen!
Therefore, they received Kadesh Barneiya. And Kadesh Barneiya – Bet = 2, Reish = 200, Nun = 50, Ayin = 70, comes out 18,000. Because 2 times 200 is 400, and times 200…is 80,000. Then how did Kadesh Barneiya come out 18,000? Because when they reached Kadesh Barneiya, 18,000 chariots escorted them, because Barneiya is the numerical value 18,000 – how is it done? Make [it] NeR AV – 250 times 72 – this is 1,000 times 18 – exactly 18,000.
Then Barneiya – Kadesh Barneiya is the secret, that they already needed to enter the Land of Israel – “Come and inherit” (Devarim 1:8). Now we are in the Land of Israel mamash. The verse “come and inherit” has been fulfilled. One doesn’t need any weapon, doesn’t need the army, doesn’t need anything! The moment that we go with the Tikkun HaKlali, then we conquer – “and the toil of nations they inherited” (Tehilim 15:44) — we conquer the whole world!! And this year, may we merit to a complete redemption, speedily in our days, Amen!
