Anyone Who Opposed Mordechai and Does Not Come to Seek Forgiveness..

From the holy pearls of our teacher, the Gaon HaTzaddik Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a from Ayalon Ramla, 18th of Elul 5780.

The Leviathan!

Who can pull a leviathan with a hook? "Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook, or press down his tongue with a cord?" (Job 40:25). Hashem asks Job, you are crying and sobbing, do you know how to pull out a Leviathan with a fishhook? "Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak soft words to you?" (ibid. 27) - The Leviathan is the fiftieth gate.

"Lay your hand upon him; remember the battle, do not do it again" (ibid. 32), do not give up, this time not in the essence of the serpent. "Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning" (Job 3:9) -

Our Rebbe brings in Likutey Moharan: "There is a story about Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Joshua who were traveling on a ship, and Rabbi Eliezer was sleeping, and Rabbi Joshua was awake. Rabbi Joshua was shaken, and Rabbi Eliezer awoke. He said to him: 'What is this, Joshua, why were you shaken?' (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 the Leviathan, as it is written: His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning' (Bava Batra 74b)."

"His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning" - that he sees from one end of the world to the other! Like Chana, "Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread" (I Samuel 2:5, Prayer of Chana) - the seventy sons of Haman! They began to go around to the doors, coming to ask for forgiveness from Mordechai. "He looks through the windows, he peers through the lattices" (Song of Songs 2:9), this is Queen Esther who peered and saw the 70 sons of Haman asking for forgiveness from Mordechai. Anyone who disputed Mordechai and will not come to ask for forgiveness from him will be hung on the tree of 50 cubits! Where did Haman have a tree of 50 cubits? From the Ark of Noah. The beams were fifty cubits. The son of Haman was the inspector, the supervisor in Armenia in the mountains of Ararat, the mountains of Ararat are in Armenia.

"And with a fishhook you will pierce his head" (Job 40:31), Hashem will make a belt from the fishhook, every belt will shine from one end of the world to the other.

"Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle" (Isaiah 55:13), brier is Vashti, myrtle is Hadassah (Esther). The fishhook is Vashti, Vashti letters 'mosquito' (The Rav once said she came in the incarnation of a mosquito), twice a snake. A person comes into the world to defeat 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 regarding you! But not for all of the Jewish people!

The Rabbanit knew Likutey Moharan by heart from the age of seven. I married her; she said if you don't study Likutey Moharan, I am divorcing you. I didn't know what to do, I asked Rabbi Moshe... She said to me: 'Fine, then study Tales of Ancient Years,' a Yemenite woman.

In Yazd, every girl had five veils inlaid with ruby, topaz, emerald, turquoise, sapphire, and diamond, for the 'shoham' and 'yashpeh' and 'achlamah'. In Yazd, every girl was inlaid with diamonds. They are the holiest in the world. There was no such thing as a girl getting married, even the groom would not say to her 'you are betrothed to me,' rather the father would say 'you are betrothed to him.' The Yazdis were more meticulous about modesty than all the communities, so the groom would not stand under the chuppah, only the father. Whoever would desecrate the Sabbath, they would stone him and not bury him. The Yazdis were the most guarded community of all the communities. The father would say, 'Behold you are betrothed to my son,' giving her a ring, betrothed to my son. For the Sheva Brachot, they would go to a different courtyard, not in the place of the chuppah. Sheva Brachot with ten people. The girls dress with modesty.

The modesty in Yazd was of such magnitude that until the Second World War, no one could harm their modesty! Seven blessings at the engagement so they wouldn't kidnap the girls; they would take them out of the houses by force, stealing 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 the communities in the world! Until the Nazis and the Persians arrived who joined with them, they said to exterminate all the Jews. The Nazis were the worst and the Persians with them.

'Iran', the Nazis gave this name! From the word 'Aryan' race, the word Iran from the word 'horn', horn is 'keren', they had horns. Yazd is the greatest modesty that ever existed on planet Earth! After the war, they destroyed the community, they came to Israel, the Yazdis, the most modest community on Earth. Seven blessings at the engagement, if the bride was 14 or 15, they would make a chuppah and the father of the groom would betroth the bride to his son. Seven blessings, they went to a different courtyard. The dowry that the bride would bring was interesting, something special - a mattress! Silk, they made a little... There was Rav Or Sharaga, I was there. Rav Yazdi. Yazdis are the holiest... from age 7 they give the girls. At age 17, he was already 27 and she didn't agree. Rav Gavra said to him: 'Give her a get, you are 27, she doesn't want, she doesn't agree.' Poor guy.

"And Hashem your G-d will return your captivity and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the nations where Hashem your G-d has scattered you" (Deuteronomy 30:3). Rabbi Yonatan Eibeschutz says the portion speaks about the Geulah. It is not said 'and He will return' (ve-heshiv) but 'and He will return' (ve-shav), the verse in our portion!

It came out: "In that day Hashem with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, and Leviathan the twisting serpent; and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea" (Isaiah 27:1). 'Dragon' is the 'Nukba', 'twisting' is the 'Nukba', the man is a straight line. The main thing is the fishhook.

Light of Wisdom - 48:25 "Thus said Hashem G-d."

Zoroaster, he founded the religion of fire in 1930 (5690), the Zoroastrians would bow to the fire. They would take a pan of coals, they would pass it from village to village and hide it so the English wouldn't see; they didn't allow it.

What is written in the Haftarah? "Thus said Hashem G-d: Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up My standard to the peoples; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders" (Isaiah 49:22). 'In their bosom' is the waist, 'and his bosom from the sheaf', the sons on the waist, but the daughters on the head and the shoulders, because the daughters are more important. Rav Chisda said: Whoever brings me news of a son will receive a double portion. "And kings shall be your nursing fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers; they shall bow down to you with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet; and you shall know that I am Hashem, for they shall not be ashamed that wait for Me" (Isaiah 49:23).

First thing, to save the girls! Because they would kidnap them in Yemen, everywhere, even under the chuppah! There is a whole book about this, the 'shababnikim' would come, kidnap them, rape them, slaughter them, I don't know what... The Jews would ask for help so they wouldn't kidnap the girls, there were terrible things... First thing, to save the girls so they will go with modesty. Obedient girls, what they are told, they do! Even sins and transgressions! Therefore, immediately at age 12, they married off all the girls. Ten people, two cups of wine, all the seven blessings at the wedding, at age 13 she is already a mother in the peak of modesty and peak of holiness! Like the tribe of Asher, that the girls never saw boys in their lives. No girl ever saw a boy in her life, didn't know what a boy looked like! They didn't know what a boy was at all! They were in the peak of holiness and modesty, therefore the boys were High Priests, the girls married priests, they were the holiest in the world. They didn't know what a boy was except for father, father they knew was an angel of Hashem! Actual Divinity, father is made of Divinity, they didn't know that father was flesh and blood... People were angels. The women in Yazd were blessed with children by angels, just as an angel came in the image of Elisha (Metatron), Elijah the Prophet. Like that, all the tribe of Asher and also Gad, they were not born of a woman at all. Ga'uel ben Mechi is the father of Elijah the Prophet.

Therefore the Yazdis were the holiest, the most righteous, like Asher, that all the girls married priests. Therefore the Yazdis are the holiest in the world, they already have ten yeshivas, people study 24 hours, they don't take their heads out of the book, except for the Gemara they don't see anything! The girls don't see anything, veils on their faces. They take them off only for cooking. And there is no such thing as buying in stores, there is no such thing! It is truly a Torah prohibition. The girls were 'Me'atik Me'atika Kaddisha'! In Yazd, they were 'Me'atika Kaddisha', everyone came from the 'Atika', "The jar of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail," everything flowed like water, the oil flowed like water, the jars of oil never ended. "The jar of oil shall not fail," they were righteous, they didn't want to see the world, therefore they will bring the Geulah, now is the holiday of the Geulah. A woman never sinned, there is no such thing that a woman would sin (unless bad company causes her to sin).

On Yom Kippur they would go out in dances, they put red clothes on the window in the evening, by morning it became white! At night all the women weep in crying, the whole city shakes from so much crying, a sea of tears... to cry, a person comes into the world in order to cry! Instead of crying, they dance, Yom Kippur arrives, they dance! (Because everything was already atoned for).

Second Tablets, "Va'etchanan" is Second Tablets.

"Outstretched arm," Teth - a person comes into the world to lift the Teth, "Her gates are sunk into the ground" (Lamentations 2:9). It is written (Kiddushin 31b) that Rabbi Abbahu (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'm coming! I'm coming!' even to Uman they heard... even though there was Corona, he would travel, there are indictments about this. Avimi had 5 children, Rabbi Abbahu was his father, he never asked the children to open the door, he would hear knocks, immediately he would run (in order to fulfill honoring a father himself).

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

...the husband heard from behind the door, fainted, boom, they poured buckets of ice water on him, he fainted every time anew until he died. It is written in the will, all the assets - all the real estate, houses in Persia, houses in Tehran, Yazd, everywhere he had, everything to one son. The Rosh says the Halacha is that it is divided among everyone. One son? What is this, 'One Thousand and One Nights' stories? It is divided equally and that's it.

There was one who didn't sit quietly, he went with the truth, he went to Rabbi Bena'ah 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 'Bat Kol' (heavenly voice) to whom the inheritance belongs. They went on foot to the Mount of Olives, they lived in Musayoff in the Bukharan quarter, they walked 45 minutes with iron bars, boom on the tombstone, the whole tombstone into crumbs, 'fine, fine, until it is not examined,' the Rabbi said. A 'Bat Kol' came out from the grave... there is no 'Bat Kol'! There is nothing... where is the 'Bat Kol'?! Persians are not like Ashkenazim, he has a store, opens at 8, they sit. They returned to Musayoff, they see one son coming out of the Mikvah with the towel and the shampoo at 10, they did 'Vatikin', bought iron bars, broke the tombstone in the morning, crumbs, crumbs, 'fine from the fine', he slept until 10, went to the Mikvah at 11, 12 did Shacharit... they went at 5 to the Kollel Hora'ah, they said 'what is going on here?' They went at 7 in the morning with iron bars, everything became fine to dust, a 'Bat Kol' did not come out.

Broken in the ultimate breaking, they were true tzaddikim, holy of holies, making preparations with Gemara... 'That's it, you all went?' They said, 'Only this one came out of the Mikvah at 11, Dudu-leh, that's what they called him.' We were shaken, we took it seriously, we bought 100-kilo bars, we broke the tombstone into shards, three hours in the scorching sun, the tombstone, not a trace remained of it, we went down the whole mountain in the scorching sun, all of us streams of sweat, suddenly he came out of the Mikvah, we didn't notice that one was missing. 'Where were you?' - 'I fell asleep! I did a watch all night,' this broke us so much, even me, it broke me, I was broken into shards, not normal.

What did the Rabbi say? All the inheritance to the one who went to the Mikvah at 12! Wow, what a crisis, what disappointments, they ran to the police, to the court... the one who got up at 12 gets it, we broke the tombstone and didn't get a penny? How much we invested, we bought a 100-kilo stick, we walked on foot from Musayoff to the Mount of Olives, how? Streams of sweat, streams of sweat dripping from us, the clothes are wet until now, he got up at 12, went to the Mikvah, we were at the Mikvah at 4! To give the inheritance to the one who got up at 12? (Except that the true son did not agree to break the father's tombstone and therefore the inheritance is only his).

All the channels, an indictment against him, they put him in Ayalon prison for 30 days together with me, he shouted 'Sun, stand still at Gibeon, and Moon in the valley of Aijalon!', they arrested him, what shouting, what weeping was there, his wife arrived, wise! The wisest in the world, stood at the entrance of the prison next to the prisoners, shouting, 'I had a slave, they slaughtered my slave! They ate him! They took him to the yeshiva, filled him with cold water and drank and didn't pay me anything!'

They said, 'What is this, who eats slaves??' In Alaska, bears eat Eskimos like popsicles, frozen, what is happening here, what nonsense?? Who slaughters slaves, who eats slaves? They went to Rabbi Bena'ah, he said: 'This is a lamb, not a slave! And they made a water skin out of him.' And then they saw that he was wise, they released him so he would be their judge.

'Achla' balls, he received all the inheritance, didn't give a shekel to his brothers, took everything for himself, after they broke the tombstone, they thought a 'Bat Kol' would come out. Until today they are waiting for a 'Bat Kol'...

"And Hashem your G-d will return your captivity," now is the moment, the moment of the Geulah, now Hashem will return your captivity, now the Geulah, the secret of the Geulah, "You shall be the head and not the tail!"

...the flesh of his sons. "Tender and delicate," why delicate? From 'Adam Kadmon', she has no sin - delicate! In her life she never touched the earth, the ground, it is forbidden to touch the ground, the Rambam in 'Guide for the Perplexed', Part 3, says that one does not touch the ground, delicate she was created. 'Adam Kadmon', she put on five veils, ruby, topaz... every girl with diamonds, delicate, she comes from 'Adam Kadmon' of 'Adam Kadmon'. "The delicate and tender woman among you," in her life she never touched the ground, 'terah einah', 'Adam Kadmon' of 'Adam Kadmon', never touched the earth, never stepped on the earth from the day she was born, never touched the ground, also not after the Mikvah... she dipped in the Mikvah. Very delicate, like Deborah the wife of Lappidoth, 'Adam Kadmon'... "I am Hashem your G-d."

Or Sharaga was from Yazd, whoever said 'Or Sharaga', 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, radiance, lightning... every day to be in fire, every woman was surrounded by fire! All the women. A person gets married, not like today! Standing in some corner, the father says 'you are betrothed to my son' in a different courtyard, they don't know where, Sheva Brachot, the meal, everyone brings their pot, they make dances, at night at 2 they go to sleep and that's it, and the dowry is a mattress! "The tender and delicate woman among you," a woman is all tenderness, all compassion, it is forbidden to harm a woman, it is holy! Only if she says 'let's go to the sea', say no. "The tender and delicate," such a delicate woman there hasn't been since 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 Toman and that's it, that's what a person earned, it's two Toman. Now, it didn't happen that a person saw a woman in his life! Even after the wedding! And a woman didn't see a boy, didn't know what a boy looked like!

"And Hashem your G-d will return your captivity and return and gather you," Yonatan Eibeschutz, what we told you. Today they are exchanging 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, the Rambam brings in 'Guide for the Perplexed', even the Gentiles!

...two Toman a day, goats, sheep, there is milk, stores, pure olive oil and pure wine, everything they did alone, there are no injections there, no Band-Aids, no plastics, everything natural, everything original, today all the chickens are full of air, once 100 grams was a real weight, now they put chemical substances...

...Grandma would break the ice to dip, Grandma dipped inside the ice, in the ice they would dip, in the ice! Not another place. This is all the holiness, true purity! The sin of the Tree of Knowledge, it is forbidden for a woman to be a 'niddah', a Torah prohibition, it is forbidden to get married, Asher had no 'niddah's! "Blessed of children be Asher," there are no 'niddah' women, it never was and never was created! This is an invention of Shuvu Banim. The tribe of Asher had no 'niddah's, even the husband, she didn't see him, at 12 at night someone approached her and after 9 months there is a child, the brides would cry, she didn't see the groom, at 12 at night someone approached her, she cried 7 days without stopping, it is impossible to comfort her, they told her 'at night something will happen, don't jump from the window,' she didn't understand why they did such shaming to her, they would cry all year, they didn't understand what happened here at all, they didn't understand that this brings a child, they thought that they put the ring and from that they are blessed with children, that was the faith, suddenly at 12 at night he approaches, she doesn't understand what is happening, tried to resist, didn't succeed, 'what am I, a camel, a dog, what did he do to me, what a criminal, I'm not returning to him anymore,' couldn't recover, calm down, there was no such thing, a bride didn't know what was happening, didn't understand anything, only Shuvu Banim ruined everyone, not from our perception at all, there are such things... Pinchas arrives, stabs the woman in her belly, no one could understand, they didn't understand what was happening, couldn't believe that there is such a thing, 24 thousand from the 'Shabak', from the police, the chief guard, everyone disappears, 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 it happen, they couldn't understand, couldn't sleep.

"The tender and delicate," 'Adam Kadmon' of 'Adam Kadmon'. She was 'Adam Kadmon', she was created from 'Adam Kadmon', every girl from Yazd.

"And Hashem your G-d will return your captivity," all the 'Nitzavim' goes on the Geulah! 'Fearful and faint-hearted, go home.'

I am from Yazd, I am a Yazdi! In Yazd, they didn't know how to bring children, didn't understand, didn't know, all the 7 blessings, she would cry at the wedding, only shed tears, 12 at night, such an indecent act, it is impossible to calm her, suddenly a little baby comes out, age 3, already goes out to the store, they didn't know what it was at all, when I got married they didn't know what it was, they thought from the ring of the betrothal the woman is blessed with children... Even the Gentiles 60 years ago, my wedding, they didn't know that there is such a thing, Shuvu Banim ruined the world...

"To love Hashem your G-d," that they should love Hashem! Not that a girl will chase after a boy or a boy after a girl, only to love Hashem! Hashem will circumcise your hearts, they didn't know that there are such things, we finished, the story is over here, we are going to the end!! No girl will know that there are such things, even after the wedding a child will be born to her, she will think it is from the wedding, cry a little, be comforted by the child, more modest, more holy, more pure. "To love Hashem your G-d for the sake of your life!" Upon your enemies! From today everything will be upon your enemies!"

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