A Girl Learns in One Day What Takes Three Years to Learn • The Daily Lesson from

Presented before you is a summary of the daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) – yesterday, after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Sunday night, the 19th of Shevat, Parshas Mishpatim:

"House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Hashem" (Proverbs 19:14). My granddaughter just arrived with a report card where everything was "very good." I told her, "This is impossible!" But it is because a girl has an open mind; she absorbs everything. Boys need therapists, emotional treatment, psychological educators, and they have attention and concentration issues—they don't understand even a single word. But a girl learns in one day what takes three years to learn, just like Bruriah (the famous scholar of the Talmud). Everyone should learn with his wife Likutey Halachos (Collected Laws), Hilchos Nechasei HaGer (Laws of a Convert's Property), Halacha 4; now was the time of the Giving of the Torah. Now, there are three hours and twenty minutes left until Chatzos (midnight)—until ten to twelve—to say Tehillim (Psalms). Afterward, study the books of Joshua, Judges, and Samuel, and then say Tikkun Chatzos (the midnight lamentation). There are still eight hours left to sleep; one needs to wake up at eight-thirty. There are a thousand girls here; every girl will be a seminary principal. Every girl will open a seminary in the kibbutzim. The girls will not remain in captivity; there are still seventy hostages left. Bibi says that Hamas is a "sweetheart," and that only the religious people who keep Shabbos are the problem. They went to the sea on the Shabbos of Simchas Torah, so terrorists arrived with boats. The army leadership removed the entire army; Herzi Halevi said, "We are men of peace." The Rebbe (Rebbe Nachman) says that in one hour, one can learn all the wisdoms. Einstein discovered E=mc², then he took a boat out to the heart of the sea, and suddenly the boat drifted away—he didn't even know where he lived. His name was Avraham; they changed it to Albert. In the end, there is Plutonium-238; every gram is half a ton. On Hiroshima, there was a quarter ton; on Nagasaki, there was half a ton, and they wanted to drop a third bomb. Then they told Hugo, "This is atomic, it's not just a bomb," so he went and committed suicide.
