Pearls from the Holy Words of Our Teacher, the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, Delivered from Tzalmon During the Holy Days of the Tishrei Festivals 5781

"5781 is the Year of Redemption"

Now it is 5781 - the year of "Me'ashpat", 5781 is Avot (in Atbash), Tav is exchanged with Aleph, Shin is Bet, Peh is Vav, and Aleph is Tav. Avot refers to Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, who are the true shepherds, and shepherd of emunah (faith), Avraham had emunah, so the Egyptians would do teshuvah (repentance). One must do teshuvah, at least convert, everything a person comes to the world for is only to convert. Until now it was Yom Kippur, so one must do teshuvah. The High Priest enters the Holy of Holies, so everyone does teshuvah.

"Now is the Revelation of Mashiach"

Noah's dove brought an olive leaf plucked in its mouth, the Zohar says it was from Gan Eden, it was the neshamah (soul) of Mashiach, "But I am like a fresh olive tree in the house of God" (Psalms 52:10). The work of a person is to be a 'fresh olive tree' so that he can bring Mashiach, it is written in Likutei Halachot (Part 3, page 26b) that all the dances at a wedding are to merit bringing King Mashiach.

Rabbi Natan said, "I do not see Mashiach in the next hundred years," it was postponed by a hundred, he said this in 5679. Exactly now it is a hundred years, then it was 5680, now it is 5780, now is the revelation of Mashiach and you shall return every man to his possession.

In two more years it will be the Sabbatical year, and then at the end of Sukkot, the end of the Sabbatical year, the end of the first Yom Tov, a platform of fire will descend from the heavens, and Mashiach will descend from the heavens, they will see how he descends and sits on the platform. Then Noah's dove will arrive, we will ask where the dove disappeared to, it is in Gan Eden, there is a special chamber for Noah's dove, that is why it came from Gan Eden. This is not the dove that was in the ark, this was the dove that came to him from Gan Eden, bringing an olive leaf to anoint Mashiach ben David with oil.

Every Rosh Hashanah is to continue the two Mashiachs, Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben David. A person comes to the world for one reason, to continue the two Mashiachs, this is the whole prayer of Yom Kippur, "Praise to those who fear You..., David Your servant...," all the prayers until reaching 'the holy King' twice, Mashiach ben David, after that "Our God and the God of our fathers, may he ascend and come and reach and be seen and be desired and be heard," again "may Mashiach ben David Your servant ascend and come."

A person comes to the world to continue the neshamah of Mashiach, for this a person comes to the world, it is possible, that is why we established this tent, to continue the neshamah of Mashiach. And on the night after the first Yom Tov, we must see Mashiach descending on a platform of fire, we must see him descending at ten. Everyone will be able to see at ten, Mashiach descending on a platform of fire, in a chariot of fire with horses of fire, like Elijah the prophet who entered the cleft of the rock, "Behold, there is a place with Me," what is this? The Holy of Holies, the cleft of the rock!

"The Tzaddik is Fire"

The calculation of the city of Sihon, for a fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon, for the tzaddik is fire, Yael is fire, Deborah is fire - the wife of Lapidot, fiery steel, Yael was fiery steel, Deborah fiery steel, the wife of Lapidot, Deborah from the day she was born was fire, Yael, how she was born, was fire, from the day she was born she was fire. So she says to Barak: "Go and draw and take for yourself ten thousand," these ten thousand are the aspect of "Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands," this is the aspect of David.

For Saul was the greatest tzaddik of all generations, and he went to die on Mount Gilboa, "you and your sons with me," he took his sons, such a tzaddik like Saul has not been since the creation of the world, and therefore Shmuel is the letters of "from Saul," for Shmuel was the neshamah of Saul, "Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Shmuel among those who call upon His name," the seed of men, Shmuel was the aspect of Moses and Aaron, equal to Moses and Aaron.

Yael was not born of a woman, Yael was born of angels, she was entirely fire, from the day she was born she was a blazing fire. How can one take a peg and drive it into a temple and a person not wake up, enough of a millisecond, in a millisecond they choke her and that's it. "Blessed above women shall Yael be," more than Sarah, not like Sarah, "blessed above women," more than women. More than Sarah, this is already gematria... 266, and also Rachel 238, and also Yael with David because she merited that everyone was included in her, also Sarah, also Rivka, also Rachel, also Leah.

Tzara'at - Questions on Hashem and the Tzaddik

Miriam spoke about Moshe, she said, Moshe surely committed some sin, so Hashem showed her – she became entirely leprous, from the sole of her foot to her head there was no soundness in her. If a person has any question about Hashem, then he already becomes leprous, one second that a person fails.

A person, as soon as he is born, questions Hashem. A person is born to fight with octopuses, today they make dolls in the shape of octopuses. A person comes to the world with octopuses, an octopus has eight arms. A person comes to the world to fight with octopuses, with lions, hundreds of lions and full of leopards!

We saw hundreds of lions in Zimbabwe, hundreds of lions! If a person shoots in the air, he will receive a life sentence. To know exactly how many lions are in the forests, which lioness was counted, how many lions will be born -, they announce over the radio where the lions are gathering. A lion is an animal that is entirely mercy, like Bar Kochba, who was such a hero and the lion knelt before him, said to him, "You are more than a lion," Bar Kochba is more than a lion.

Teshuvah Through the Power of Torah Study

A person must say words of Torah all day, then the tzaddikim will be impregnated within him. Because a person says 12,000 words in an hour, in a minute it is 200 words, multiplied by 60 it is 12,000, multiplied by four letters it is 48,000. From seven-thirty to seven-thirty in the evening, it is exactly six hundred thousand, and with this four and a half letters, so ten hours is enough, ten hours can already say six hundred thousand letters.

Everyone will do teshuvah, if Amram had not divorced Yocheved, everyone would have done teshuvah, and they would not say Hallel. The Rambam says that this is not called Hallel at all, it is forbidden to say Hallel, it is a blessing in vain, says the Rambam. Half Hallel is not called Hallel, "the work of My hands is drowning in the sea," because if Amram had held on to emunah, he would not have divorced Yocheved, Mashiach would have come immediately, the neshamah of Moshe would have descended, the Egyptians would have done teshuvah immediately. Therefore, Amram is written in the reincarnation of souls, he came in the reincarnation of Hezekiah.

It is written in chapter 19 of Isaiah that everyone did teshuvah, there is no such thing – day and night, Sennacherib saw that the Seder night had begun, charoset, there are matzot on the table, cups, the cup of Elijah the prophet, they are preparing. Sennacherib went crazy, he said, "I came with two billion six hundred million," Hezekiah says, "I am not preparing a bow, I am not preparing arrows."

Through Luz Comes the Resurrection of the Dead

On Edom I will cast my shoe, this is Leah's sole, Leah's sole became Rachel's tefillin. It is written "Rabbi Yehuda said, Rav said, a person should always sell the beams of his house and buy shoes for his feet" (Shabbat 129), sell your house for five million, what will you buy, a pair of shoes for a hundred shekels? Are we crazy, how can we sell the beams of our house? I have a villa for five million, will I sell it to buy shoes for a hundred shekels?

This is what the Gemara says, sell the beams of your house to have shoes. All the words of the Gemaras are signs and hints, all the Tree of Life (words of Kabbalah and the inner Torah) is found in the Gemara. Because the house is Rachel, the beams of his house are Rachel, shoes are Leah, who sits at the top of the Nazir of his brothers - in Luz. All Torah 85 in Likutei Moharan is a giant Torah, the most important Torah in the world, that through Luz comes the resurrection of the dead.

Yom Kippur is the resurrection of the dead, and now on Yom Kippur we could revive all the dead in the world, sweeten the corona, it is possible to cancel all diseases. Every three days a hundred die, it affects everyone, it does not skip anyone. A person must know that the High Priest enters the Holy of Holies, he cancels all diseases. It is written that in the first Temple there were only eighteen priests, divide 410 years of the first Holy Temple by twenty, so about twenty-one years each priest had on average. There was Yehoyada the priest, Zechariah, the blood of Zechariah the prophet, which was bubbling... until Yom Kippur, like now it is Yom Kippur.
