"Everyone Has a Divine Soul; He Only Needs to See That the Divine Soul Blossoms"

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Thursday night, the 13th of Tammuz, Parshas Balak:

"This Shabbat we will already pray in the new Beis Medrash (study hall), in the new hall that was renovated just for the young men who have nowhere to pray. For three years, young men didn't come to prayer. Only ten percent arrived; now there is room for everyone. Everyone needs to say Amen, and 'Yehei Shmei Rabba' and Barechu and Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh. We say Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh four times in 'Uva L'Tzion' and twice in the Chazzan's repetition, and after that in the Yotzros; that's four times. And on Shabbat, we say it five times. Everyone needs to say Kadosh Kadosh, not to miss it... A Tzaddik (righteous person) is 90 (Tzadi) Amens, 4 (Dalet) Kedushas, 10 (Yud) Kaddish, and 100 (Kuf) is one hundred blessings. Everyone needs to be a Tzaddik, everyone needs to run to the prayers. One who doesn't run to prayer will eventually become secular; if he has no vitality from prayer, then he will have vitality from Gaza – he will be in captivity, he will find himself at a party on Simchat Torah, 'and you shall rejoice in your festival.' And now they found them in heaps and heaps; everyone fled. They told everyone to flee; there was no rifle, no pistol, there was nothing. And then they told everyone to flee, and everyone fled from Re'im to Mefalsim, which is forty kilometers. All the roads were full of the slain, young men and women, the most righteous, the most righteous women, all with tattoos, of course. Every girl who had a tattoo was killed immediately. A modest girl, the terrorists didn't touch her; they saw a girl dressed properly, they said, 'You are dressed properly, we won't touch you.' Only those who went exposed, they slaughtered them at point-blank range. Fifteen hundred girls, fifteen hundred boys. And therefore – and now we have five thousand people without hands or legs, literally five thousand. And every day five more are killed in the north, five more in the south. This war doesn't end; we don't know when it will end. Because Arabs are allowed to kill Jews, but we are forbidden to kill Arabs. The whole world stands on its hind legs – Jews killing Arabs? We never heard of such a thing. We heard of Arabs killing Jews, but Jews killing Arabs, we haven't heard of such a thing. Even Abraham our Forefather, who killed two billion six hundred million, and afterward Eliezer couldn't pass there. This was at age seventy-five; at age one hundred and forty they went to look for a shidduch (marriage match), and then he contacted me – Eliezer – he said, 'I see Esau "and her pitcher on her shoulder."' I told him to cancel the match; immediately he canceled the match. In the end, he didn't cancel it; in the end, Esau actually emerged. And after that, Rabbi Naftali of Ropshitz zt"l [his grandson] Rabbi Meir of Dzikov zt"l arrived; Sunday was his yahrtzeit (anniversary of passing). Now it's already Thursday. Rabbi Meir of Dzikov says in the Imrei Noam, it is written in the Toldos, everyone should look in the Imrei Noam. 'Macharish' (keeping silent) – he had a Kushya (difficulty/question) about Abraham, how could he send him to find such a match from which Esau would emerge? Who wants Esau to come from his daughter-in-law? There's no such thing! But immediately then he saw 'Macharish.' The Rebbe says in Torah 46, Part II, a Kushya – 'Hear, Hashem, my voice when I call.' You have a question about the Tzaddik? Cry out to Hashem! He went and cried out to Hashem, he went to the field. 'And the man was wondering at her, keeping silent (macharish) to know whether Hashem had made his journey successful.' 'Macharish' refers to Jacob and Esau; then he saw that Jacob is the inner essence and Esau is the klipah (evil shell), and then the match went through. Until today, for three thousand five hundred years since the match went through, the People of Israel emerged. But he saw the breaking of the Tablets; Eliezer saw the breaking of the Tablets, therefore he gave her two bracelets. Rashi says, why two bracelets? To connect to the second Tablets. To connect the second Tablets. So he saw the breaking of the Tablets, and once again he regretted it and wanted to return home. But then he said, Abraham also saw this; what I see, Abraham also sees. So he cried out to Hashem, went to the field – a Kushya – 'Hear, Hashem, my voice when I call.' Then he understood that the People of Israel would ultimately emerge only from Rebecca. Not from his daughter; his daughter was the daughter of Canaan, he was Canaan himself. And he passed the trials, and she hadn't yet passed the trials; she passed all the birurim (refinements). He had a million questions about Abraham our Forefather. A billion questions; he had to overcome all these questions. But Hashem said, 'Go for yourself from your land, from your birthplace, and from your father's house.' He says specifically to my land, and specifically to my birthplace, and specifically... everything is the opposite. When you tell a person to do something, he does the opposite. Even Abraham our Forefather, Hashem says to him, 'Go for yourself from your land, from your birthplace, and from your father's house,' so he does the opposite, he says specifically to my land, and specifically to my birthplace, and specifically to my father's house. What can be done? Therefore, it's best never to say anything to anyone; it all needs to come from within, because if you tell him, he will immediately do the opposite. Immediately an [inte]raction is awakened in him; it's called an [inte]raction. Immediately the Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) is awakened and he immediately does the opposite of what he's told. Therefore, one can never give Tochacha (rebuke), and one can never give Mussar (ethics/reproof). Everything must come from within, because everyone has a Divine soul; he only needs to see that the Divine soul blossoms. And the child, from age three, must already run to the prayers. They don't know that his vitality is only from running to prayer; if not, in the end, he becomes secular and removes his peyos (sidelocks). If he has no vitality from prayer, then from what will he have vitality? In the end, he will find himself in Gaza, in captivity? He will want to fulfill 'and you shall rejoice in your festival,' and he will do it in Gaza. Therefore, a person must know that every girl should be a principal and a teacher, every girl. The son should be a Rosh Yeshiva (head of a yeshiva), he should be the Gadol HaDor (greatest of the generation), he should be the Chief Rabbi, and the head of the Dayanim (judges). And the girl should be a principal, a teacher, a principal of seminaries. There are a thousand girls here, a thousand principals. Every seminary is a thousand girls, every seminary is a thousand girls; a million girls do teshuvah (repentance), Mashiach (the Messiah) arrives at that moment. Because a girl has more intellect than a man. It is written 'Vayiven' (and He built/understood) – He needs from her extra Binah (understanding). A thirteen-year-old girl's IQ is already a million times that of a boy her age. She can already grasp everything, all the calculations. Now the girls sent me the calculations of Rashi, the most complicated, the hardest. Chapter 24, Verse 3. Rashi says 'like them and like them,' that we need to take the number two and multiply it a hundred times. I know 2 times 100 is 200... No, you don't know. So that's it, we see... you need to do 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 a hundred times. 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024. We reached a thousand in two seconds. And after that – it's a million, then a billion, then a trillion, then a thousand trillion, a million trillion, a billion trillion. A hundred times is already a thousand billion trillion, which is a billion trillion times more than Moses our Teacher. Moses our Teacher only merited – he only said a thousand times. A thousand times a thousand. But here we already reached a billion trillion in two seconds. Every girl can do the calculation. The girls' intellect is completely open. Every girl should be a principal. Every girl can do the calculation; the girls' intellect is completely open. Every girl should be a principal and learn every day a chapter in Joshua, a chapter in Judges, a chapter in Samuel. And know all the calculations like in Eruvin, seventy cubits and a fraction. How is it seventy cubits and a fraction? How do we arrive at that? The courtyard of the Mishkan (Tabernacle)? What is the connection to the courtyard of the Mishkan? How much is the courtyard of the Mishkan? Fifty by a hundred. How much is fifty by a hundred? Five thousand. The square root is seventy cubits and a fraction – seventy cubits and four handbreadths. Everyone needs to know how to extract a square root, to understand Tractate Eruvin, that every house adjacent to the city within seventy cubits and a fraction is measured with the city. And if there are two cities that are 141 and two and a third handbreadths apart, then we connect the two cities and can walk between them. A person needs to know all these calculations immediately at age thirteen, to know all the calculations in Eruvin and in Rashi 24:3. And the girls' brains are completely open; they have sixty days to complete all the material in algebra, geometry, mathematics. Every girl needs to complete the material so she will be accepted to the Be'er Miriam seminary, Netivot HaChinuch. Every girl should see to it that she is accepted to the seminary, and complete the material and already learn next year's material. Like Einstein, who already learned next year's material during the summer vacation. All that was left for him was to throw rotten tomatoes at the teachers. Once he threw a chair at a teacher's head, split her head open. The teacher never returned to school, but he couldn't be expelled. In Germany, it's not like in the Land of Israel. There, you can throw a chair at a teacher's head, and the student stays in the class. And it's forbidden to remove a student from class even if he completely eliminates the teacher, like Trump now. But they don't know how to shoot; the Americans don't know how to shoot, they don't know how to aim the rifle. Instead of hitting the nose, they hit the ear. They say at the last moment he moved his head; by mistake, he moved his head. It was a mistake, he moved his head, and it hit his ear. So Einstein threw the chair at the teacher's head; the teacher didn't come to school anymore. But Einstein couldn't be expelled from the class anymore. What did they do? The principal obtained medical certificates for him saying he had lung disease and sent him to Switzerland to the Polytechnic; he sent him to Switzerland, to Zurich. He managed to get him out of Germany, from Berlin, and then he arrived in Zurich. There is a preparatory program for the Technion – Polytechnic. And then he arrived, they asked him, 'What is your nationality? What nation are you?' He said, 'I am a Jew.' 'You are a Jew? Get out of here! We don't accept Jews here. Switzerland is the most anti-Semitic, more than Berlin. Get out! Get out! Get out! How did you get here?' Then the principal said, 'If so, then I also resign.' And he was sixteen years old, and they knew he was the greatest genius in the whole world. Such a genius never was and never will be. He made the famous formula E=mc², E-M-C squared. E is energy, M is mass, and C is speed – three hundred times three hundred thousand. [Calculation follows]. If it's a gram, then it comes out to ninety thousand tons. So every gram can destroy an entire city; today, with a tenth of a gram, one can destroy an entire country. So a person needs to know that he needs... that now he has an open mind. Until age twenty, the mind works; after age twenty, the mind stops working [in the optimal way like the learning of one's youth]. Only what he learned until age twenty remains with him. But what he didn't learn until age twenty, he can no longer learn [as well]. Until age twenty, the mind works. Everyone should see that until age twenty, every girl should be a principal, should be a teacher. She should know all the mathematics and algebra; that is the role of the girl. The son needs to know Tractate Eruvin, all the calculations; it's the most complicated in the world. And the Rashi in 24:3 which reaches a thousand billion trillion. And if we reach 120, it's a trillion trillion, that's 36 zeros. And if we reach 180, it's already three trillion, that's 54 zeros, because 36 plus 18 is 54. And if we do the Kad (pitcher) of Rebecca. Rebecca merited the Kad, which is called [the doubling of] 240 [four times a trillion]. If there were ten times Kad, Mashiach would have come immediately. She only merited nine times Kad, the gematria (numerical value) of Aryeh (lion), but if she had merited ten times Kad, Mashiach would have come immediately and we would have merited the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!"‏.
