Everything is Thanks to the Tzaddik, Everything a Person Has and Everything He Receives, It's All Thanks to the Tzaddik - Words of the Esteemed Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a at the Mann Family Home

The lesson of the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, from this week, Parshat Vayetze 5779, at the Mann family home in the Makor Baruch neighborhood in Jerusalem.

""And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan" (Genesis 50:10), "the threshing floor of Atad," after all the grain in Egypt had rotted, they made a new threshing floor that was sufficient to store grain for all of Egypt. Everything is thanks to the tzaddik, everything a person has and everything he receives, it's all thanks to the tzaddik."

"The threshing floor was guarded from people and it was impossible to enter it, and in this threshing floor there was food for all of Egypt. The wicked did not allow taking from the threshing floor, "And they were grieved because of the children of Israel" (Exodus 1:12), they thought the children of Israel were thorns, but in truth, they were the thorns. "And they were grieved," in the language of thorns, "and the evil will return to its original state," they were informed that the evil would return to its original state. What, is every threshing floor surrounded by Atad? Is every threshing floor surrounded by thorns? Why did they call it, "the threshing floor of Atad"?!"
