5784 (Tashp"d) is the year of the Geulah. It is written in all the holy sefarim: “He declared to His people the power of His deeds, to give them the inheritance of nations” (Tehillim 111:6)— because in Tashp"d, (784), it is koach times koach (28×28=784). This is the moment of the Geulah, when all the kings come to Eretz Yisrael; all the heads of state will come to Eretz Yisrael.

These are the holy words of The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, delivered today, Wednesday, the night of 3 Cheshvan 5784:

Tomorrow at 12:00 noon, Biden lands—the president of the whole world, the head of the whole world. His entire goal is to give Eretz Yisrael to the Arabs; that is why he is coming. First of all, he meets with Abu Mazen, and then he will tell Israel: I don’t understand what you are doing here—the Old City belongs to the Arabs, Jerusalem belongs to the Arabs. He shouts in every country that everything must be “two states.” He wants two states here; to the Jews he will give some corner—maybe in Savyon, maybe in Tzahala. Because they (the residents) are holding all of Tel Aviv, they won’t agree to give back Ramat Aviv; they’ll protest against it. But it’s exactly the opposite: Ramat Aviv certainly “belongs” to the Arabs, because Sheikh Munis was there.

Everyone knows what Sheikh Munis is. I was a 15-year-old boy—there was a tremendous gathering there. All the youth from Eilat to Metula—150,000 boys and girls, young men and young women—came to Sheikh Munis. It was the most central place in Eretz Yisrael; that is where Ben-Gurion gave his most famous speech. A speech full of Emunah—that here everything is miracles and wonders. I heard his speech: he said that here everything is miracles, everything is Divine Providence. Someone (from those who oppose the holiness of Israel) should have told him: What are you saying? Heaven forbid—one must not repeat such things.

Ben-Gurion said: Know that here everything is miracles. There is no “my strength and the power of my hand” here; there is no human wisdom here. From the Kastel, Arabs fled without a shot. From Kfar Biyadu they fled without a shot; from all the villages they fled without a shot. From Haifa they fled without a shot; from Tiberias they fled without; from Tzefat they fled without a shot. From the biggest cities they fled without a shot. I was a 10-year-old boy—I got up at seven in the morning and not a single Arab was in the city. From the municipality downward it was all Arab areas—whoever knows how Haifa is built: from the municipality and onward it was all Arabs. All Arab neighborhoods: the entire lower city was Arab, the port was Arab. Wadi Salib, Wadi Nisnas. For them these were the greatest “gates”—more than three quarters of Haifa belonged to Arabs. Wadi Rushmiya also belonged to Arabs; I lived there. Now I was there—I visited my sister—everything is bridges, everything is new roads.

In any case, the invasion of Gaza has been postponed for now—at least two weeks. The moment Biden arrives, you can’t enter Gaza. They are “poor Arabs,” “righteous Arabs”—the Arabs have no water, no electricity; they are being abused; they are being slaughtered. Now they published in all the newspapers in Belarus that the Jews have become Nazis and the Arabs have become Jews. What “abuse”—a million Arabs have no food, no bread, no water, no electricity.

In any case, one must know that the fact that the entry into Gaza was delayed is only in the merit of the women’s tefillos. Because entering Gaza is the most dangerous thing in the world. Narrow alleyways of one meter; neighborhoods from two thousand years ago. You can’t go in there with tanks; the soldiers have to go on foot. And Hamas is waiting for them—preparing to “welcome” them with cookies, with cannons, with submachine guns, with grenades. The most festive reception imaginable. They are thinking about a thousand soldiers who will go—Heaven forbid—in the very first barrage of fire. Only the women who took upon themselves sefarim of Tehillim—three sefarim of Tehillim every day—in the merit of those women, the invasion of Gaza was postponed.

A better time will be found to enter Gaza—and even then, if they enter, it won’t help anything, because in one second they have one hundred thousand missiles. Half of Gaza is Hamas; all of Gaza voted for Hamas; Hamas rules Gaza—half of Gaza are Hamasniks. One hundred thousand Hamasniks cannot be eliminated; no entry will help. Every day more missiles fly and more missiles—and in Haifa too, several missiles exploded. Therefore Biden says: We’ll return it to the Arabs and then no missiles will fly at all—that’s the compromise, that’s the conclusion, that’s the “brilliant idea,” that’s called creativity: return Haifa to the Arabs and then, automatically, no missiles will fly there—so we solved the whole problem.

One must know: in the merit of the three sefarim of Tehillim that the women took upon themselves, the invasion of Gaza is being delayed. Meaning: the deaths of thousands of soldiers that were “supposed” to happen will yet be canceled entirely. They will find advice without an invasion—an invasion is not specifically necessary. Because in any case, if you destroy 100,000 of their missiles, tomorrow they will have a million missiles. Iran produces one hundred thousand missiles a day; ten days is a million missiles. Immediately it passes to them through the tunnels, through Egypt; the Egyptians themselves transfer it to them. If we destroy one hundred thousand, they will have a million. No invasion will help—nothing. Only Tehillim can help—Tehillim against missiles. Not Iron Dome and not Patriots—only Tehillim can eliminate the missiles.

This—that the women are saying three sefarim of Tehillim every day—and that they decided to bring in their hair: no woman should let her hair out; no kallah should let her hair out. Whoever brings in her hair should not be called “Ashkenazi,” and should not be humiliated. She is not guilty that she was born Ashkenazi; it’s not her choice—what can she do? So she brings in a bit of hair—nothing happened. On the contrary, one must praise her, give her a citation.

And the young men need to burn all their pants—this is something terrible; it is a Torah prohibition. It is forbidden to accentuate the body; your body is the body of a snake. When a woman hears a whisper, “Shorten the dress,” it is the snake whispering to her. The Megaleh Amukos writes on page 191, that when a man looks at a woman—or a woman at a man—with a sinful gaze, a gaze of transgression, then two snakes connect; it is the snake that says to look. At the moment the two snakes connect, Jews are killed—thousands of Jews. When a woman lets out a hair, at that moment a thousand Jews are killed. When she walks exposed, at that moment an entire battalion is killed—and it is all “friendly fire.”

The moment they enter Gaza, the soldiers get confused; they don’t know who are terrorists and who are Israelis. They shoot entire battalions that are wiped out by friendly fire. Therefore it is only the women who cover their hair and walk with long dresses. Because it is forbidden to accentuate the body—even for a bochur, even for a boy. This is a male snake; this is a female snake. The Megaleh Amukos reveals: when two snakes connect, there is andralamusya—“ander” is male, “musya” is female—there is chaos, there are killings. All the killings happen because people dress short, because they roll up sleeves, because young men walk in tight clothing.

And Xiaomi must be smashed right now—it is a new Satan; the Satan created it. Everyone buys Xiaomi, and it must be smashed immediately; it brings all the killings. And therefore 1,500 children and girls, young men and babies were killed. And now 199 were taken captive—and it will soon reach 300, because they don’t know exactly how many; Hamas does not say the exact number. There is no access to them; they want the Red Cross to enter and it isn’t working. And they don’t know what happened to them—if they are torturing them, if they are cutting them into pieces. Burned completely—burned, cut.

These are not demons and not animals—because you can’t insult animals. It is forbidden to insult animals and compare them to such “children of Satan”; they are worse than demons. Rebbe Nachman says that demons are the best in the world; it is written that Rav Pappa had a demon who helped him. Demons came to help human beings—Hamas are children of Satan; they are Satan himself. It is a creation that Satan created; it is not the image of G-d—“For in the image of G-d He made man” (Bereishis 9:6). If “in the image of G-d He made man,” then “My handiwork is drowning in the sea and you are saying song” (Sanhedrin 39b, Megillah 10b)—Hashem did not agree that the Egyptians should drown. If Amram had not divorced Yocheved, then no Egyptian would have drowned. He would have brought down such a light that every Egyptian would have done teshuvah.

Like Basya the daughter of Pharaoh, who did teshuvah. The moment Moshe was born, such a light descended that Basya the daughter of Pharaoh went down to immerse in the Nile. She wanted to convert. True, there were not yet 613 mitzvos, but they knew that one must immerse. Exactly as she went down to the Nile to immerse, Rashi says she went down to immerse in order to convert—and she saw Moshe. “And she called his name Moshe, and she said: For I drew him from the water” (Shemos 2:10). Moshe had ten names—Yekusiel, Avi Zanuch, Avigdor; his father called him Tov; his mother Toviyah—but in the end, Basya’s name is the one remembered. Because she had true mesirus nefesh—because everything follows mesirus nefesh.

Today, mesirus nefesh is when a daughter brings in all her hair, walks long, burns the tight shirt. Also a son who burns his tight pants—this is mesirus nefesh: to smash the Xiaomi, the smartphone. The smartphone is a rag—it too is a creation of Satan. All of Hamas is a creation of Satan—worse than demons, worse than wild animals, than lions, than snakes. Worse than a thousand snakes—worse than the seven-headed snake.

Hamas is a snake with one hundred thousand heads: kill 50,000 and 50,000 remain. The whole invasion is doubtful whether it will bring results at all, because Hamas is endless—it is half the world. In Belarus they say they are “Palestinians”; the whole world identifies with them, and there were also demonstrations in their favor. They say: it all belongs to us—Eretz Yisrael belongs to us, Tel Aviv belongs to us, Sheikh Munis belongs to us. Everything belongs to them, and the world believes them—because all of these are children of Satan himself. Hamas are children of Satan; it is a decree of Satan.

Since the time has already begun (in yeshivos and kollelim) and one must learn Gemara—ten pages every day—so we will shorten for the men. Instead of the men reading every day one sefer or three of Tehillim, it is enough that they read one sefer a day, from the five-part division of Sefer Tehillim. One must read one sefer every day in order to manage ten pages of Gemara daily; they also need to stand for Shemoneh Esrei at length. Because only this can bring the Geulah and uproot the children of Satan who have taken over Eretz Yisrael.

The Arabs are prepared to give Israel endless territories—but only in the Sahara Desert, or in Uganda, or somewhere else. Therefore, in order to bring the complete Geulah, it depends only on the tefillah of the girls—on their tznius.

And through this we will merit the complete Geulah speedily in our days

Amen
