The Lesson of the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a at the Salma Family Home in Bnei Brak - Parshat Devarim, 7th of Av 5778

Today is the day of the Ten Commandments, today is the 7th of Av, today the Holy Temple of fire descends, today the nations entered the Holy Temple. Therefore, the Rebbe says here in Torah 85 that on Tisha B'Av it is possible to revive all the dead. There are three weeks, this is the essence of Luz, just as in Luz they do not die – the Angel of Death has no permission to enter, also on Tisha B'Av the Angel of Death has no permission to enter. Tisha B'Av is the day when it is possible to revive all the dead in the world, this is the time of the resurrection of the dead.

Because on Tisha B'Av Hashem renews the body, everyone returns in teshuvah (repentance) and sits on the ground, and after that they go out in dances on Tu B'Av, and on Yom Kippur they also go out in dances, and they place a red garment on the window and it becomes white. A woman who has a red dress places it on the window, it becomes a white dress. Whoever does not have a bridal dress places it on the window.

"Lie until the morning" (Ruth 3:13), what is "lie until the morning"? This is the time of resurrection, so now it is "lie until arise," "Arise, cry out in the night at the beginning of the watches" (Lamentations 2:19), lie is the festival of Shavuot, they call this lie, which Boaz said to Ruth "lie until the morning," and arise – this is "Arise, cry out in the night," this is from Tu, in Ukraine there is no midnight, in Ukraine the skies are bright, the sunset is only at nine, now all of Tammuz - Av the sunset is at nine, after that Av begins to descend from nine to eight-thirty, on the first of Elul the sunset is eight-thirty – on the first of Elul, until the first of Elul the skies are bright, even in the middle of the night the skies are bright – blue, not black, so there is no midnight, there is no midnight, until the skies receive a black hue then midnight begins, this is "Arise, cry out in the night," so from lie until arise there is no midnight, and arise means the resurrection of the dead, so "Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it" (Numbers 21:17).

  Because once every woman could revive the dead, once every woman had the power to revive the dead, there were 600,000 prophetesses – sixty myriads of prophetesses, and they all flew in the air, from Tzippori she flew in the air and became a bright star, a bright star is Tzipporah, they flew in the air, why did they call her Tzipporah? Because she flew like a bird, Cain wanted to take her as a wife, so she ran to Shemhazai, who knew the explicit name and thus.., so now Tisha B'Av is the time of the resurrection of the dead – this is the time when it is possible to revive the dead, and everyone can revive the dead, by sitting on the ground it is possible to revive the dead, this is the consolation – "Comfort, comfort" (Isaiah 40:1).

Because Manoach merited to revive the dead, the Tzlelponit merited to revive the dead, like Yiskah that everyone shelters in her shade, why did they call her Yiskah? Because everyone shelters in her shade, the Tzlelponit – everyone shelters in her shade, this is the Tzlelponit, so "lie until the morning" is the time of resurrection, because the Rebbe reveals to us that from Luz one enters Beit El, to Beit El it is impossible to enter, this is a city that cannot be entered, so how do you enter? So there was Luz, because about Luz it is said "lie until the morning".

So once every woman knew how to revive the dead, every woman in the time of the First Temple could revive the dead, every woman without exception, six hundred thousand women could revive the dead, every woman if she walks in modesty receives the spirit of prophecy and can revive the dead, this is "lie until the morning" which is the time of resurrection, that every woman can revive the dead, in the time of the Holy Temple every woman could revive the dead.

And also in our generation, every woman who walks in modesty can revive the dead, it is written "and they kept the children alive" (Exodus 1:17) – that they revived them, that they continued the spirit of life, "and they kept the children alive," from the female of Pardashka, from one this is the spirit of life, and one this is the spirit of Mashiach, from every spirit came the spirit of life, from one came the spirit of life and the spirit of Mashiach.

Because now this is the spirit of Mashiach, because the cow made two lowings, mmm mmm. The first mmm he said: now the Holy Temple is destroyed, an Arab – he had the spirit of holiness, once every woman had the spirit of holiness, the cow makes mmm he said apparently it was in sadness, so he said: now the Holy Temple will be burned, now it rises in flames.

After five minutes she makes mmm again, but in joy, he said: now Mashiach is born, this is the moment that on Tisha B'Av Mashiach is born, everyone born on Tisha B'Av is the neshamah (soul) of Mashiach, every woman needs to go on the night after Tisha B'Av to the mikveh, every woman without exception, to go immerse on the night after Tisha B'Av and through this she will merit the King Mashiach, so it turns out that on Tisha B'Av Mashiach is born, and everything is learned from the cow. There is a red cow, there is a decapitated calf, from the cow we learn all the secret.

Now Tisha B'Av arrives, it is possible to revive the dead, Tisha B'Av there is no dead that is not revived, like Elisha revived the son of the Shunammite, there was a Zarephathite and there was a Shunammite, and after that there was the wife of Obadiah, there were three women each received a jug because this jug never ended, each received a jug, the Zarephathite received "the jar of meal shall not be spent, neither shall the cruse of oil fail" (1 Kings 17:14), if today we find the jug then it is possible to pour oil without end, until the resurrection of the dead, "the jar of meal shall not be spent, neither shall the cruse of oil fail" – until the resurrection of the dead it is possible to pour oil and it will never lack, he gave her the oil – this jug from which oil flows without end, until the resurrection of the dead it flows oil, until the time of resurrection.

"And it came to pass in the morning, that, behold, it was Leah" (Genesis 29:25), the whole matter is to be included in Leah, "and Leah's eyes were tender" (Genesis 29:17), because once they used to marry cousins, this was the custom in all the families, so one had two sons and one had two daughters so immediately they made a match at birth, at birth they already closed a deal – breaking a plate, and after that they waited until age 18 – 20, it didn't matter when, but the match was made at birth, they didn't wait until age 13, 14, to make meetings, and 'not finding favor', she has a straight nose or a crooked nose or she has a plastic nose, they finished all the matches at birth.

Now a girl at age 3 knew what her match was, Leah was at age three she knew her match was Esau, Esau was also a child at age three, they already finished the match, at age 15 he was already shooting arrows – he was killing people, and Leah just cried from age three, all day she just cried from age three, what? This will be my match?! But that's what they thought – the elder for the elder, the younger for the younger.

So it is written in Midrash Tanchuma – the elder for the elder, the younger for the younger, "lie until the morning" which is the time of resurrection, that after Tisha B'Av it is possible to revive all the dead, "and it came to pass in the morning, that, behold, it was Leah", what is in the morning? This is the time of resurrection, that in the resurrection of the dead it will be revealed that everything is in the merit of Leah, "and it came to pass in the morning, that, behold, it was Leah". So this is Luz where the Angel of Death has no permission to enter in any way in the city of Luz, and he has no visa and he will not receive a visa, so the crown – it is written that Yosef merited to be the crown, the crown is Leah, so it must be known that the Angel of Death cannot enter Luz, he has no right to enter.

This shows that on Tisha B'Av this is the moment that one merits the resurrection of the dead, that the Angel of Death has no control over the person, anyone who sits on the ground on Tisha B'Av – sits on the ground and cries – the Angel of Death has no control over him, just like in the city of Luz they have no control over anyone.

And therefore it is written through Luz one enters Beit El, "but Luz was the name of the city at the first" (Genesis 28:19), meaning that Luz, this is the innovation of our Rebbe, that through Luz one enters Beit El, meaning: that through Leah one merits Rachel, Luz is Leah and Beit El is Rachel.

"And she sat under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel" (Judges 4:5), Bethel is Rachel and Ramah is Leah, so Deborah was between Ramah and Bethel, for Rachel, "and on the crown of the head of the Nazirite of his brothers", because Jacob was from the hairs of Adam Kadmon, every Jew is from the hairs, Jacob was from the hairs of the crown itself, Jacob was from the hairs that are really at the tip, there is the foundation of Jacob, and therefore he took two sisters because his foundation was from two hairs, but this was according to the secret, according to the simple it was forbidden to take them, so he had to rectify and reincarnate in Job who said "I am perfect" (Job 9:20), "I am perfect" (ibid, 21), four times "I am perfect", that he had to atone for taking two sisters.

"And on the crown of the head of the Nazirite of his brothers" (Genesis 49:26), and Benjamin merited the shoulders, so "Comfort, comfort" – Manoach letters comfort this is from the hairs of the crown, and Benjamin is from the shoulders – "and between his shoulders he dwelt" (Deuteronomy 33:12), which is the aspect of Leah, because Leah is the Shechinah, Leah is also in the crown and also in the shoulders, Leah is all the upper half, Rachel received the lower half, this is that Leah is also against the crown and also against the shoulders, this is Leah who is first, so how will he reach Rachel? Through Leah, they always say that from Rachel one ascends to Leah, our Rebbe says here the opposite, that from Leah he will reach Rachel, that first he will have the aspect of Leah which is humility and lowliness, and then he will reach Rachel which is wisdom.

"A man's wisdom makes his face shine" (Ecclesiastes 8:1), if a person wants to reach the aspect of Leah, first he needs to reach the aspect of Leah, and then through Leah he reaches Rachel – through Luz he enters Beit El, so all the holy interpretations of our Rebbe this is all the Tree of Life, which is the opposite of what is always said, because in the three weeks the order is reversed, and one merits that Leah enters Rachel, until Rachel, and to the crown this is the matter of Leah.

The crown is the essence of Luz, because here there is the essence of Luz, there is the tefillin, and one must eat Melaveh Malka, because this bone enjoys only from Melaveh Malka, in order for this bone to rise in the resurrection of the dead one must eat at Melaveh Malka, whoever does not eat Melaveh Malka will not rise in the resurrection of the dead, it is impossible, because to rise only through the essence of Luz, and every person needs to eat an olive's worth – to eat pizzas at Melaveh Malka, he needs to taste some olive's worth – a few crumbs – an olive's worth from the pizzas that are thrown, so that through this he can rise in the resurrection of the dead, and drink a drop from the well of Miriam, so only through the aspect of Leah one merits the resurrection of the dead.

This is Luz that through Luz one enters Beit El, the aspect of Leah who is first, because Beit El is related to Leah, so Yosef and Benjamin merited Leah, and they even did not merit Rachel, to the aspect of Leah who is first, and to the crown of the Nazirite of his brothers the aspect of Luz, in gematria neck, in gematria Sh' N', Sh' N' this is Shimon Nachman, that now this is Shabbat Nachamu that the rectification is through Shimon Nachman, the rectification that everyone traveled to the Ari, and after traveling to the Ari [missing].

So this Sh' N' this is the initials of Sh'abbat N'achamu, now the coming Shabbat is Shabbat Nachamu, this is the letters Manoach, that Manoach [-]
