The daily chizuk from The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a — all wrongdoers will do Teshuvah

Thursday, 22 Tishrei 5785 — a great miracle: the missiles should, Heaven forbid, have killed masses of people

These are his holy words:

In the period of the First Beis HaMikdash, they did not use the letters the way we use them today. The letter of the Sefer Torah—this is Ashuri script, a clear, square script. Rather, they used a different script—like wedge-writing, a script like Rashi, but not this script. This was still forbidden then, because whoever would write in this script would be burned on the spot: fire would come forth and burn him.

All of this is written in Maseches Megillah (13a): that the children were involved with “chashmal,” and fire came out and burned them—electricity comes forth from the letters. That is why we say the letters by themselves.

With one letter from the Torah, it is possible to bring the entire world back in Teshuvah—every wrongdoer will do Teshuvah.

Out of 1,200 missiles, 2 people were killed—there is no such thing in the world; at least 1,200 people should have been killed. Each missile should have killed at least 10 people—there is nothing like this anywhere in the world.

In the Gulf War they fired 100 missiles; fifty fell into the sea and the remaining 50 caused buildings to collapse, but no one was killed. In the end everyone said, “These missiles are defective, they’re not good, that’s why people weren’t killed.” The moment they said those missiles weren’t good, a missile fell in Saudi Arabia on the Americans’ headquarters and killed 300 people.

Everyone remembers—this was in the year 5751, exactly 32 years ago. Someone who is 40 today was then an 8-year-old child: they fired 1,234 missiles at the people of Israel, and not a single missile killed a person.
