How "Goren Nachon" Became "Goren Kidon" • The Daily Lesson from Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Tonight, we move the sun (the clock - for daylight saving time).

Nakdimon ben Gurion turned the sun back in the well-known story of the water cisterns.

Today, five police officers were here and requested that people no longer go to the Tombs of the Kings. I told them that the only reason I sent the young men there was to awaken Nakdimon ben Gurion, who turned back the sun.

In the writings of the Arizal, it is brought down that in the entire Torah, there is no combination of the letters Gimmel and Tes (which spell Get, meaning a bill of divorce). This is because the Torah only connects and unites.

Everyone should study the difficulties found in the Tanakh. For example, regarding Yisra the Ishmaelite. In the Book of Samuel II (17:25), he is referred to as "Yisra the Israelite." However, in the Book of Chronicles I (2:17), he is called "Yeser the Ishmaelite," and it is explained that he was actually a Jew, but he girded his sword like an Ishmaelite.

In Samuel II, Chapter 6, it is written "Goren Nachon" (the threshing floor of Nachon), while in Chronicles I 13:9, it is written "Goren Kidon" (the threshing floor of Kidon). Because in truth, they had arrived at the right place (nachon means correct) - the Foundation Stone (Even HaShetiyah) - and the Holy Ark jumped, as if to say, "Place me here!" They did not understand the hint, and therefore the threshing floor turned from Nachon (correct) to Kidon (a spear/destruction).

"And Chana prayed upon Hashem" (Samuel I 2:1) - meaning that she prayed from a place above the Tetragrammaton (the Name of Havayah).

"My mouth is opened wide (rachav) against my enemies" (Samuel I 2:1) - this hints that she was a reincarnation of Rachav.

Penina used to torment Chana, and in the end, all of her children died, until she begged at Chana's feet, and then two of her children were spared.

Eli the Kohen called Chana "shikorah" (drunk), and told her, "Remove your wine from upon yourself!" But Chana replied to him, "No, my lord" - the letters actually spell "kesherah" (a worthy woman); you did not read it correctly.

Regarding the word "har'emah" (to provoke her - Samuel I 1:6), there is a dagesh (emphasis dot) here, indicating that there were literal thunders (ra'amim).

The holy Or HaChaim wrote all of his Torah novelties so that his daughters would have something to read on Shabbos.

Pikadon 4 - the order of the Sefiros (Divine emanations). Everyone should study Likutey Halachos, Laws of Pikadon (Deposits) 4, regarding the order of the counting of the Omer during the first week:

On the first day of the first week, we receive the first expanded consciousness (Gadlus Aleph) of Abba (the Divine Partzuf of the Father/Wisdom). On the second day, the first expanded consciousness (Gadlus Aleph) of Imma (the Divine Partzuf of the Mother/Understanding). On the third day, the second constricted consciousness (Katnus Bet) of Abba and Imma. On the fourth day, the second expanded consciousness (Gadlus Bet) of Imma. On the fifth day - the eve of the Seventh Day of Pesach - the first constricted consciousness (Katnus Aleph) of Abba and Imma. On the sixth day, the impression (Reshimu) of the second expanded consciousness (Gadlus Bet) of Abba. And on the seventh day, the essence (Atzmus) of the second expanded consciousness (Gadlus Bet) of Abba.

The people of Israel on the eve of Pesach fell into the ultimate constricted consciousness (Katnus d'Katnus) and later said, "We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt for free" (Numbers 11:5). Were there really free fish? Rather, when the women would go out to draw water, the fish would miraculously jump into their pitchers.
