The Daily Shiur of Moreinu HaRav Eliezer Berland shlit”a, from Monday, Parshat Tetzaveh, the night of 11 Adar I, after Ma’ariv:
So every day, ten Jews are killed, ten seriously wounded, without hands, without feet. And all the time that [women] don’t lengthen their dresses as needed… even a girl born in Mea Shearim needs to lengthen her dress; [also one] born in Bnei Brak.
“VeAta Tetzaveh – You shall command” – the Baal HaTurim says “Nashim Tziva (He commanded women) is [the numerical value of] 401. “Nashim (women)” is 400. With the “kollel,” this is “Eliyahu HaNavi [Zachor LeTov].” Every woman is a reincarnation of Eliyahu HaNavi; Eliyahu is spiritually impregnated in every woman. If she just goes a little long and lengthens her dress, and breaks her Xiaomi, like Devorah HaNavia, who broke her Xiaomi, and there was a pillar of fire upon, and she was surrounded by flames of fire – Eshet Lapidot. Every girl was surrounded by flames of fire like Rabbi Zeira, surrounded in flames of fire. Like Yehonatan ben Uziel, who was surrounded by flames of fire. Because a woman reaches the level of a Tanna in one second, faster than a man, like Yael, who merited to ascend to the level of Eli HaKohen. Every woman who goes modestly will in the end be the Kohen Gadol; she will be the Kohen Gadol in the Third Temple. Every woman who merits to go break her Xiaomi will be the Kohen Gadol in the Third Temple, and may we merit to the complete redemption speedily in our days, Amen!
