King David Replied to Michal

Before you is a summary of the daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) - yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Wednesday night, the 9th of Sivan, Parshas Naso:

"Speak to the sons of Aaron," says the Baal HaTurim (a classic Torah commentator). "The sons of Aaron" and not "the daughters of Aaron," because women have no Yetzer Hara (evil inclination). The women did not sin in the desert; it is written that during the sin of the Golden Calf, the men cut off their earrings along with their ears after the women refused to give them for the calf. Therefore, they received Rosh Chodesh (the New Month) as a holiday on which they are forbidden to launder or sew. Sewing is permitted only for Tzniut (modesty), but for any other purpose, it is forbidden to sew. Now the war has started again, and three young men were killed; therefore, it is necessary to lengthen all the skirts.

The secret of the atom is that they reduce the protons from 258 to 253, and this is done through centrifuges. Now Khomeini said he wants to destroy the State of Israel because it has existed for eighty years, and we must not let this happen. Everyone can arrange some kind of exemption from the draft in order to travel to Uman; most electronic computers do not register that there is a stay-of-exit order.

So, girls have no Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) except for what they are accustomed to and what causes them to sin, but a girl by her very nature has no Yetzer Hara. Now, Chatzos (midnight) for these two months is at 02:10 AM and the Netz (sunrise) is at 05:30 AM. The men will stay awake until the Netz, and at 06:00 AM they will go to sleep until eight. The girls can go to sleep from 02:20 AM until 8:20 AM because the seminar (school) already starts at 8:30 AM.

Michal said to David, "How can you jump like that? In my father's house, they didn't see even the trousers or the fingers of the hands." King David said to her, "But Hashem (God) chose the dancing!" The main thing is the dancing before the prayer and after the prayer. Now, in another five hours it will be Chatzos (midnight); one can manage to finish the Tehillim (Psalms), the Book of Yehoshua (Joshua), and Divrei HaYamim (Chronicles). It is written in one place "Goren Nachon" (the prepared threshing floor) and in another place "Goren Kidon" (the spear threshing floor), so that they would not know that this is the "Nachon" (correct) place of the Kodesh HaKodashim (Holy of Holies), so it turned into "Kidon." Everyone should study Parshas (Torah portion) 4 in Bamidbar (Numbers).

The boys should now study four pages of Gemara (Talmud) about Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi, who saw oxen. They told him, "These are not oxen; these are clusters of grapes for another year." Rabbi Chiyya arrived and said to them, "These are goats." They said to him, "These are clusters, and you ruined it, because last year they were oxen; go away from here." And they should also study the Gemara where Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi stole the sword from the Angel of Death and refused to return it to him; for a whole week, the Angel of Death did not kill people.

The girls should say Tehillim (Psalms), and every girl should lengthen her skirt so that no more people are killed. The men stay awake all night and will study 10 pages of Gemara (Talmud); the girls will study Mishlei (Proverbs) and Divrei HaYamim (Chronicles). And everyone should study with his wife the blessing of the fruits, which according to the calculation comes out that if there are ten girls, they receive more than the boys. And they should study there about the daughters of Tzelafchad (Zelophehad), whose father "died in his own sin," and because he was not in the assembly of Korach, he did not receive an inheritance in the land. Therefore, anyone who was in the assembly of Korach did not receive an inheritance, because whoever disputes the Tzaddik (righteous leader) does not receive an inheritance in the land.
