In Av We Reach 'Your Iniquity is Complete, Daughter of Zion' - The Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

A wonderful lesson delivered by our teacher, the esteemed righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a from Tzalmon - Motzaei Rosh Chodesh Av 5780

"When Mashiach ben David, your servant, will come, he will redeem, see, desire, and hear, he will arrive, be called, and toil. 'And Nobach went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobach after his own name' (Numbers 32:42 - end of Parshat Matot), 'These are the commandments and the judgments which Hashem commanded by the hand of Moses to the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan near Jericho' (Numbers 36:13 - end of Parshat Masei), be strong, be strong, and let us strengthen ourselves. Recognizing the son of Menashe, he is Nobach who will bring the redemption, for he is Mashiach ben David. Nehemiah was Mashiach ben Yosef, Ephraim was Mashiach ben David, they received the Torah."

"On the 1st of Av, the Holy Temple of fire descends, 'Your iniquity is complete, daughter of Zion, He will no longer exile you; He has visited your iniquity, daughter of Edom; He has revealed your sins' (Lamentations 4:22). From the 1st of Av, we are in 'He has visited your iniquity', 5780 is 'He has visited your iniquity'."

"'Your iniquity is complete, daughter of Zion', the 'yon' from 'Zion' descends, descends, descends, and the 'tz' elevates everything. This is the matter of Chanukah, it elevates everything, which is the tzaddik, the miracle of Chanukah is the light of the tzaddik. Without the tzaddik, it is forbidden to declare war, it is against halacha, no one can know if he will win. But, the tzaddik knows, the Chazon Ish says he sees everything, the heart tells him, he has Ruach HaKodesh."
