From the Holy Pearls of Our Teacher, the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a from Ayalon Ramla, 18 Elul 5780

The Leviathan!

Who can drag a Leviathan with a hook? "Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope?" (Job 40:25), Hashem asks Job, you cry and lament, do you know how to draw Leviathan with a hook? "Will it make many supplications to you? Will it speak to you softly?" (ibid 40:27) - Leviathan is the fiftieth gate.

"Lay your hand on it; remember the battle, you will not do it again!" (ibid 40:32), do not give up, this time not with the bolt itself. "May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn" (ibid 3:9) -

Our Rebbe brings in Likutei Moharan "A story about Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Yehoshua who were on a ship, and Rabbi Eliezer was sleeping, and Rabbi Yehoshua was awake. Rabbi Yehoshua was startled, and Rabbi Eliezer awoke. He said to him: What is this, Yehoshua, why were you startled? (The Rav: It is forbidden to steal sleep). He said to him: I saw a great light in the sea. He said to him: Perhaps you saw the eyes of Leviathan, as it is said: Its eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn (Bava Batra 74b)."

"Its eyes are like the eyelids of the dawn" - it sees from one end of the world to the other! Like Hannah "Satisfied with bread have hired themselves out" (1 Samuel 2:5, Hannah's prayer) Seventy sons of Haman! They began to go around the doors to seek forgiveness from Mordechai. "Looking through the windows, peering through the lattice" (Song of Songs 2:9), this is Queen Esther peering and seeing the 70 sons of Haman seeking forgiveness from Mordechai. Anyone who opposed Mordechai and does not come to seek forgiveness from him will be hanged on a tree 50 cubits high! Where did Haman get a tree 50 cubits high? From Noah's Ark. The trees were fifty cubits. Haman's son was the overseer in Armenia in the mountains of Ararat, the mountains of Ararat are in Armenia.

"And with a fishhook in its nose" (Job 40:31), Hashem will make a belt from the fishhook, each belt will illuminate from one end of the world to the other.

"Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow" (Isaiah 55:13), the brier is Vashti, the myrtle is Hadassah (Esther), the fishhook is Vashti, Vashti is the letters of mosquito (the Rav once said she came in the reincarnation of a mosquito) twice a snake. A person comes to the world to conquer the snake! The woman is the snake! Every woman except your wife is the snake! When you say to her: "You are betrothed to me" you remove the snake from her - only for you! But not for all of Israel!

The Rebbetzin knew the Likutei Moharan by heart from the age of seven, I married her, she said if you don't learn Likutei Moharan I will divorce you, I didn't know what to do, I asked Rabbi Moshe... She said to me, well then learn the stories of the Tzaddikim, a Yemenite.

In Yazd, every daughter had five veils adorned with ruby, topaz, emerald, turquoise, sapphire, and diamond. In Yazd, every daughter was adorned with diamonds. They were the most holy in the world, there was no such thing as a daughter getting married, even the groom would not say to her you are betrothed to me, but the father would say you are betrothed to him. The Yazdis were more stringent about modesty than any other community, so the groom would not stand under the chuppah, only the father. Whoever desecrated Shabbat would be stoned and not buried. The Yazdis were the most guarded community of all communities, the father would say "You are betrothed to my son", giving her a ring betrothed to my son. For the seven blessings, they would go to another courtyard, not in the place of the chuppah. Seven blessings with ten people. The daughters dressed modestly."

The modesty in Yazd was so great until World War II, no one could harm their modesty! 7 blessings at the engagement so that the daughters would not be kidnapped, they would take them out of the houses by force, steal them at age 12. The groom does not stand next to the bride at the chuppah, only the father. The most modest community of all communities in the world! Until the Nazis and the Persians who joined them came, they said to destroy all the Jews. The Nazis were the worst and the Persians with them.

'Iran', the Nazis gave this name! From the term "Aryan race", the word Iran from the term horn, horn is a horn, they had horns. Yazd is the greatest modesty that was on earth! After the war, they destroyed the community, they came to the land, the Yazdis are the most modest community on earth. Seven blessings at the engagement if the bride is 14 or 15 they would make a chuppah and the father of the groom would betroth the bride to his son. Seven blessings went to another courtyard. The dowry the bride brought was something interesting and special - a mattress! Silk, they did a little.. there was Rabbi Or Shraga, I was there. Rabbi Yazdi. Yazdis are the most holy..., from age 7 they give the daughters. At age 17, he was already 27, and she did not agree. Rabbi Gavra told him: Give her a get, you are 27, she does not want, does not agree. Poor thing.

"And Hashem your God will return your captivity and have mercy on you and gather you from all the nations where Hashem your God has scattered you" (Deuteronomy 30:3), Rabbi Yonatan Eybeschutz says the parsha speaks of redemption. It does not say "and He will return" but "and He will return" the verse in our parsha!

It came out "On that day, Hashem will punish with His fierce, great, and mighty sword Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; He will slay the monster of the sea" (Isaiah 27:1). "Monster" is the female, "coiling" is the female, the man is a straight line. The main thing is the fishhook.

Light of Wisdom - M"H K"H "Thus says Hashem God"

Zarathustra founded the religion of fire in 1930, 5690, the Zoroastrians would bow to fire. They would take a pan of coals and pass it from village to village and hide it so the English would not see, they did not allow it.

What is written in the Haftarah "Thus says Hashem God, Behold, I will lift My hand to the nations and raise My banner to the peoples; they will bring your sons in their arms and carry your daughters on their shoulders" (Isaiah 49:22). 'In their arms' means on the loins, "and his bosom shall gather" the sons on the loins, but the daughters on the head and shoulders, because the daughters are more important. Rav Chisda said: Whoever announces to me about a son will receive a portion, a daughter double. "Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down to you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am Hashem; those who hope in Me will not be disappointed" (Isaiah 49:23).

First thing is to save the daughters! Because they were kidnapped in Yemen everywhere, even under the chuppah! There is a whole book about it, the hooligans would come and kidnap them, assault them, slaughter them, I don't know what.., the Jews would ask for help so that the daughters would not be kidnapped, there were terrible things..., first thing to save the daughters to walk in modesty. Obedient daughters do what they are told! Even sins, transgressions! Therefore, immediately at age 12, they married all the daughters. Ten people, two cups of wine, all the seven blessings at the wedding, at age 13 she is already a mother in the height of modesty and the height of holiness! Like the tribe of Asher, where the daughters never saw boys in their lives. No daughter ever saw a boy in her life, did not know what a boy looked like! They did not know what a boy was at all! They were in the height of holiness and modesty, therefore the sons were high priests, the daughters married priests, they were the most holy in the world. They did not know what a boy was except for a father, a father they knew was an angel of Hashem! Divine indeed, a father made of divinity, they did not know that a father is flesh and blood.. people were angels. The women in Yazd were visited by angels like an angel in the form of Elisha (Metatron), Elijah the prophet. So was the tribe of Asher and also Gad, they were not born of a woman at all. Geuel son of Machi is the father of Elijah the prophet.

Therefore, the Yazdis were the most holy, the most righteous, like Asher, where all the daughters married priests. Therefore, the Yazdis are the most holy in the world, they already have ten yeshivas, people study 24 hours, they do not take their heads out of the book, except for the Gemara, they see nothing! The daughters see nothing, veils on their faces. They remove them only for cooking. And there is no such thing as buying in stores, there is no such thing! It is really a Torah prohibition. The daughters were copying from the ancient holy! In Yazd, they were from the ancient holy, everyone came from the ancient, "The jar of flour did not run out and the jug of oil did not lack", everything flowed like water, the oil flowed like water, the oil jars never ran out. "The jar of oil will not lack" they were righteous, they did not want to see the world, therefore they will bring the redemption now, it is the holiday of redemption. A woman never sinned, there is no such thing as a woman sinning (unless she is led astray by bad company).

On Yom Kippur, they would go out dancing, in the evening they put red clothes on the window until the morning it became white! At night all the women cry in tears, the whole city shakes from the abundance of tears, a sea of tears.. to cry, a person comes to the world to cry! Instead of crying, they dance, Yom Kippur comes and they dance! (Because everything has already been atoned for).

Second Tablets "And I pleaded" is the Second Tablets

"Outstretched arm", 9 - A person comes to the world to lift the 9, "Her gates have sunk into the ground" (Lamentations 2:9). It is written (Kiddushin 31b) that Rabbi Abahu (the father of Rabbi Avimi) would eat at Rabbi Avimi's, and he had five children, when he would knock on the door he would run and shout "Father, I am coming! I am coming!" until Uman they heard.. even though there was Corona, he would travel, there are indictments about it. Avimi had 5 children, Rabbi Abahu was his father, he never asked the children to open the door, he would hear knocks and immediately run (to fulfill the mitzvah of honoring one's father himself).

..knows what will be like you, modest, holy, pure

..the husband heard from behind the door, fainted, boom, they poured barrels of ice water on him, he fainted again and again until he died. It is written in the will, all the properties - all the real estate houses in Persia, houses in Tehran, Yazd, everywhere he had, all to one son. The head of halacha says they divide among everyone. One son? What is this, stories of a thousand and one nights? They divide equally and that's it.

There was one who did not sit quietly, he went with the truth, he went to Rabbi Bena'a and said, Father wrote the inheritance to one son! The rabbi said they should go to the father's grave and break his tombstone and wait for a heavenly voice to whom the inheritance belongs, they walked on foot to the Mount of Olives, they lived in Musayof in the Bukharans, they walked 45 minutes with iron bars, boom on the tombstone, the whole tombstone crumbs "fine, fine until it is not checked", the rabbi said. A heavenly voice came out of the grave.. no heavenly voice! Nothing.. where is the heavenly voice?! Persians are not like Ashkenazim, he has a store, opens at 8, they sit. They returned to Musayof, they see one son coming out of the mikveh with the towel and shampoo at 10, they did the dawn prayer, bought iron bars, broke the tombstone in the morning, crumbs, crumbs "finer than fine", he slept until 10, went to the mikveh at 11, 12 did the morning prayer.., they went at 17 to the halacha kollel, said what is going on here? They went at 7 in the morning with iron bars, everything became fine to dust, no heavenly voice came out.

Broken to the core of the break, they were true tzaddikim, holy of holies, making preparations with Gemara.. "Is this all of you went?" they said only this one at 11 came out of the mikveh, Doodle, that's what they called him. We were shocked, we took it seriously, bought poles, a hundred kilos, broke the tombstone into fragments, fragments, three hours in the scorching sun, the tombstone was not left a trace, we descended the whole mountain in the scorching sun, all of us streams of sweat, suddenly he came out of the mikveh, we didn't notice that one was missing "Where were you?" - "I fell asleep! I did a night vigil all night", this broke us so much, even me, it broke me into fragments, not normal.

What did the rabbi say? All the inheritance to the one who went to the mikveh at 12! Wow, what a crisis, what disappointments, they wanted to go to the police, to the court.. the one who got up at 12 gets, we broke the tombstone, we didn't get a penny? How much we invested, bought a stick, a hundred kilos, walked on foot from Musayof to the Mount of Olives, how? Waterfalls of sweat, streams of sweat dripping from us, the clothes wet until now, he got up at 12, went to the mikveh, we were at the mikveh at 4! To give the inheritance to the one who got up at 12? (But the true son did not agree to break the father's tombstone, and therefore the inheritance is only his).

All the channels filed an indictment against him, they put him in Ayalon prison for 30 days with me, he shouted "Sun in Gibeon stand still and moon in the valley of Ayalon!", they arrested him, what cries, what weeping was there, his wife came, wise! The wisest in the world stood at the entrance of the prison near the prisoners shouting I had a servant, they slaughtered my servant! They ate him! They took him to the yeshiva, filled him with cold water and drank and did not pay me anything! They said what is this, who eats servants?? In Alaska, bears eat Eskimos like frozen popsicles, what is going on here, what nonsense?? Who slaughters servants, who eats servants, they went to Rabbi Bena'a, he said: This is a sheep, not a servant! And they made a water pouch out of it. And then they saw he was wise, they released him to be their judge. Achla Kaduri received all the inheritance, did not give a penny to his brothers, took everything for himself after they broke the tombstone, thought a heavenly voice would come out. Until today they are waiting for a heavenly voice..

"And Hashem your God will return your captivity" now is the moment, the moment of redemption, now Hashem will return your captivity, now the redemption, the secret of redemption "You will be the head and not the tail!"

..the flesh of his sons. "Tender and delicate" why delicate? From primordial man, she has no sin - delicate! In her life, she never touched the earth, the ground, it is forbidden to touch the earth, Rambam in Moreh Nevuchim part 3 says not to touch the earth, delicate she was created. Primordial man put five veils, man, topaz.. every girl with diamonds, delicate she came from primordial man of primordial man. "Displayed on the earth from delight and tenderness" in her life she never touched the earth "will be evil in her eyes" primordial man of primordial man never touched the earth, never stepped on the earth from the day she was born, never touched the earth, not even after the mikveh... immersed in the mikveh. Very delicate like Deborah, wife of Lapidoth, primordial man.. "I am Hashem your God"

Or Shraga was from Yazd, whoever said "Or Shraga" immediately his sins were atoned for, he was fire, once every woman was surrounded by fire, there was no lust, she was surrounded by fire, glow, lightning.. every day to be in fire, every woman was surrounded by fire! All the women. A person marries not like today! Standing in some corner, the father says you are betrothed to my son in another courtyard, they don't know where the seven blessings, the feast, everyone brings the pot, they dance at night at 2, they go to sleep and that's it, and the dowry is a mattress! "The tender in you and the delicate in you" a woman all tenderness, all compassion, it is forbidden to harm a woman, it is holy! Only if she says let's go to the sea, you say no. "The tender in you and the delicate" such delicate was not from the creation of the world, a woman was created to be delicate!

In Yazd, they studied Torah, Gemara, opened a store until 16, they sat and studied Gemara in the store. In Persia, what is the currency? Toman. Two Tomans, and that's it, that's what a person earned, two Tomans. Now it never happened that a person saw a woman in life! Even after the wedding! And a woman did not see a boy, did not know what a boy looked like!

"And Hashem will return your captivity and gather you" Yonatan Eybeschutz what we told you. Today they replace legs, Hashem will bring you new legs. Once it was forbidden to touch the earth, forbidden to touch the ground (perhaps because it is called "cursed is the ground") it was forbidden, Rambam brings in Moreh Nevuchim even for non-Jews!

.. Two Tomans a day, goats, sheep, there is milk, olive oil, pure wine, everything was done alone, there are no injections, no plasters, no plastics, everything natural, everything original, today all the chickens are full of air, once a hundred grams was real weight, now they put chemicals..

..Grandmother would break the ice to immerse, the grandmother immersed in the ice, in the ice they would immerse! Not anywhere else. This is all the holiness, true purity! The sin of the Tree of Knowledge, it is forbidden for a woman to be niddah, a Torah prohibition, it is forbidden to marry, Asher did not have niddah! "Blessed above sons is Asher" there were no niddah women, it never was! This is an invention of Shuvu Banim. The tribe of Asher did not have niddah, even the husband, she did not see at midnight, someone approached her, and after 9 months there is a child, the brides would cry, she did not see the groom at midnight, someone approached her, she cried for 7 days without stopping, it was impossible to comfort her, they told her at night there will be something, don't jump from the window, she didn't understand why they did such shame to her, they cried all year, they didn't understand what happened, they didn't understand that this brings a child, they thought they put the ring and from that they are blessed, that was the emunah, suddenly at midnight he approached, she didn't understand what was happening, tried to resist, couldn't, what am I, a camel, a dog, what did he do to me, what a criminal, I will not return to him anymore, couldn't calm down, couldn't understand, there was no such thing as a groom's Shabbat, didn't know what was happening, didn't understand anything, only Shuvu Banim spoiled everyone, not from our perception at all, there are such things.. Pinchas comes and stabs the woman in her tent, no one could understand, they didn't understand what was happening, couldn't believe there was such a thing, 24,000 from the security service, the main guard, all disappeared, how did he enter the tent? Miracles and wonders, 12 miracles were done for him, how did he enter the tent at all?? How did this happen, couldn't understand, couldn't sleep

"From delight and tenderness" - primordial man of primordial man. She was primordial man, she was created from primordial man, every daughter from Yazd

"And Hashem your God will return your captivity" all Nitzavim goes on the redemption! Fearful and faint-hearted, go home

I am from Yazd, I am Yazdi! In Yazd, they did not know how children are brought, they did not understand, they did not know, all the seven blessings, she cried at the wedding, only shed tears, at midnight such an indecent act, it was impossible to calm her, suddenly a little baby came out, age 3, already going to the store, they did not know what it was at all, when I got married, they did not know what it was, they thought from the ring of the kiddushin the woman is blessed.. even the non-Jews 60 years ago at my wedding did not know there was such a thing, Shuvu Banim spoiled the world..

"To love Hashem your God" that they should love Hashem! Not that a Shabbat should chase after a boy or a boy after a girl, only to love Hashem! Hashem will circumcise your hearts, they did not know there were such things, we are done, the story ends here, we go to the end!! No daughter will know there are such things, even after the wedding, she will have a child, she will think it is from the wedding, she will cry a little, comfort herself with the child, more modest, more holy, more pure. "To love Hashem your God for your life!" over your enemies! From today everything will be over your enemies! "

It is forbidden to know such things, it is a Torah prohibition, whoever knows I will enter him to the end this time to the end like Yazdis. The groom sits in some courtyard, embarrassed, they arrive at another courtyard, then a feast in a third house, everyone with a pot of food, he brings two mattresses, dowry, there are no furniture, nothing, a box of books, a box to sit on, and a box table, tasty food
