The Daily Chizuk from The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a — “A person must create the dawn”

“Sun, stand still in Givon; and moon, in the Valley of Ayalon” (Joshua 10:12) “And Iyov lived after this one hundred and forty years” (Job 42:16) “Have you ever commanded the morning in your days—have you made the dawn know its place?” (ibid. 38:12) “And you shall speak to all the wise-hearted, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom” (Exodus 28:3)

Monday, 6 Teves 5785 — “The whole matter of Rebbe Nachman is that he is Ayin.”

These are his holy words: Hashem says: You will yet have more miracles—miracles even greater—“Sun, stand still in Givon; and moon, in the Valley of Ayalon” (Joshua 10:12). Endless miracles will be yours. Like Iyov, who lived 140 years (“And Iyov lived after this one hundred and forty years” [Job 42:16]). After the seventy, Hashem says to him: Did you know? Have you made the dawn know—have you made the dawn know its place?Because when a person gets up in the morning, he creates the dawn. (The very first halachah that appears in the Shulchan Aruch is: “One should strengthen himself like a lion to rise in the morning for the service of his Creator, so that he will be the one who awakens the dawn” (Orach Chaim 1:1). The first task of a person in his daily order is to rise from his bed with determination and gird himself with the courage of a lion for the service of Hashem.) A person must create the dawn. You create the dawn. When a person rises at Chatzos, he creates the dawn. A person must create the dawn—create the sun. It is not the same sun (each day a new sun is created). It is not… the scientists think it is the same sun—“all the wise-hearted” (Exodus 28:3). Hashem listens to all the wise-hearted; all the scientists are nothing of nothing. In truth, they have not seen the sun at all. Every day there is a new sun, a new moon. The moon sings, and the sun sings: “Sun, stand still in Givon; and moon, in the Valley of Ayalon.” From where are you? A person must be Ayin—this is the whole matter of Rebbe Nachman: that he is Ayin. When Rebbe Nachman made Kiddush, he was Ayin. Throughout the entire Maariv prayer, he was Ayin.
