Holy pearls from the strengthening lesson of Rav Tzanani shlit"a

The holy lesson opened with a question from Rav Yaakov Salma to Rav Tzanani: "The Baal HaTanya says that one who was unable to put on tefillin should put them on at night without a blessing so as not to be among those who have never put on tefillin."

Rav Tzanani answered: "Every spiritual fall that comes upon a person is to awaken them to teshuvah, because a Jewish person feels within themselves when they are not right. It must be known that everything is recorded above immediately, we do not live in a world of chaos, you have no idea how everything is recorded above. 'An eye sees and an ear hears, and all your deeds are written in a book' (Avot 2:1), there is a book above where everything a person does is written, and at night the neshamah (soul) ascends and signs on everything."

"Therefore, for everything, teshuvah is needed, and if a person does teshuvah, they are forgiven, and things they did teshuvah for will not be mentioned. A person does not understand where their suffering and fears come from; it all comes from their actions."

"In fact, everything is for the good, because they want to give a Jew great reward above, but one cannot come above sullied."

"Even a thought is recorded above and creates angels; a person who sinned and contemplated teshuvah, it is written that after passing, they will descend below, but when they cry out to Hashem, they will be elevated by the power of their thoughts of teshuvah and regrets."

"Above, there are truly scales of mitzvot versus sins, this is not a children's story - the sufferings also join the side of merits. One must do teshuvah with the weight of bitterness as great as the pleasure they had from the sin, but if the person is with the tzaddik, then the tzaddik performs wonderful rectifications that a person can erase everything, becoming completely pure. But even with the tzaddik, the person must strive and make an effort, for example, a person must guard their eyes, thinking that the tzaddik is a patent, it is not true."

"Soon there will be Gog and Magog, it is indescribable what will happen, Hashem will manage the wars, the Mashiach, 'The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against Hashem and against His anointed... He that sits in the heavens shall laugh, Hashem shall have them in derision' (Psalms 2). Hashem will laugh at the wicked, but the spiritual war is ours, the people of Israel, they want us not to despair. How much a person merits if they fight, even if they fall, if they continue to fight, they create more and more vessels, 'In the place where baalei teshuvah stand, complete tzaddikim do not stand' (Bavli Berachot)."

"The flood hints at our time, today's war is terrible, learn merit on yourself. A person chases themselves for nothing, but above they appreciate them differently, the time is very difficult spiritually. Our Rebbe says about our generation that being a proper person will be like climbing a smooth wall. There is great darkness spiritually, therefore we are given great abundance materially, because every small lack drives a person crazy, because they have no mind. The Ramchal explains that before the coming of Mashiach, there will be almost complete darkness, and as the light departs, all wickedness increases."

"But this is our gift that a simple Jew can merit endlessly, just do not give in to desires, do not abandon yourself. In the tales of Rebbe Nachman, he tells of the king who goes hunting and all his ministers forget him, only one villager in a small hut receives him warmly. Suddenly the ministers remember that the king is not with them and seek to bring him back, but the king says that only the simple person who stayed with him will bring him back - those who will bring back the king are the simple people, the baalei teshuvah. 'Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, You have established strength' (Psalms 8:3), those who will remain at the end with the Mashiach."

"Our Rebbe in Torah 8 of Likutei Moharan says that when baalei teshuvah are made, there are flashes of lightning and thunder, this is the light of redemption. You who were in such low places, and now do teshuvah, this makes noise in the heavens and draws the light of redemption. 'The more sanctified one is than his friend, the earlier he precedes his friend' (Mishnah Horayot 3:6), the higher a person's neshamah, the lower it fell when it descended to the world. For several reasons, the evil inclination knows it can draw vitality from it. Also, it is a deliberate act by the Creator who sends the high souls to battle with the sitra achra and thus breaks it."

"This is exactly why they fight with our teacher Rav Berland, for all the accusations against him are nonsense, their fear is that the Rav brings so many people to teshuvah. The sitra achra knows that the moment the Rav takes these souls from it, it perishes. This is why all the self-sacrifice of our teacher Rav Berland is to make baalei teshuvah. Where did all the masses of baalei teshuvah come from? It all started with Rav Berland, or the emissaries he sent to merit Israel, or through Uman and the Rav's self-sacrifice to open the way there. That is where the teshuvah began, true, there were other influencers and those who brought people closer, but the main teshuvah was done by Rav Berland and the yeshiva."

"The whole goal of Amalek, the evil inclination, is to bring a person to despair and sadness. One must find a corner and ask Hashem to reveal the truth to us, not what the deceitful evil inclination wants us to think. Suddenly, a person will receive such words of teshuvah from the warmth of the heart.
