Lecture from Tzalmon - The Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a "A Person Comes to the World to be Consistent"

A lecture delivered by the esteemed righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a on Tuesday of Parshat Emor 5780, the 11th of Iyar, the 26th day of the Omer count, from Tzalmon prison.

"Now is Hod within Netzach..., the Gemara (Avodah Zarah 52b) says that until the sin of the Golden Calf, idol worship was not considered significant, all the idols of the fly, the beetles, the lizards, the frogs. This was the idol worship of the Egyptians, of fertility, a woman who was barren would bring an offering, slaughter a sheep, or her son in honor of the frog and she would conceive. This would mislead her to think that the slaughtering of her child in honor of the idol helped her to conceive."

"Now we are in Hod within Netzach and anyone who passes away today immediately enters Gan Eden, within a millisecond, like the son of Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl (Rabbi Mordechai Twersky was the second Rebbe of the Chernobyl Chassidut) who was the greatest tzaddik of the generation."

"'Heichal HaBerachah' writes about Sarah who laughed, this is proof that Sarah was a disciple of 'Shuvu Banim', from here the opponents, the dissenters (Rav Berland laughs at all the false accusations they try to attribute to him and his community), proved, why did she need to argue with Hashem, why did she laugh, but, Sarah said 'I did not laugh'. Where did she learn to argue with Hashem? It's all from 'Shuvu Banim'."

"Therefore, they say about this rabbi that he only teaches people to be insolent, see, even Sarah was insolent."

"Now we will count the Omer, afterwards we will say a few words in honor of Hod within Netzach and Netzach within Netzach, for if we were meritorious, the resurrection of the dead would have already occurred."

"Hod is connected to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, all the work is to connect Rabbi Shimon to Rebbe Nachman, 'Har Bashan' Bashan - this is Shimon-Nachman, and 'Bashan' is Nachman ben Simcha, Tzalmon..., here is Mount Sinai, here they made the hospitality."

"Tzalmon is an aspect of Mount Sinai, it is the middle bar corresponding to Yaakov Avinu, 68 cubits, 60 + 8 = 68 cubits, from here they took the hospitality and planted it in Egypt. Why is it written that Yaakov planted the hospitality? To show the children who are destined to leave the exile, the children said to the elders, why redemption, you are eternal slaves, like the Africans who were eternal slaves for 400 years, they were taken to America, to England. In England, they abolished slavery before it was abolished in America, they prohibited bringing slaves, but those born there continued to be slaves. Abraham Lincoln, who passed away on 15.4, abolished slavery, they shot him because he freed 120,000 colored people."

"..., one must connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, what was written about Chanoch who was a shoemaker? That he would connect the sole of Leah with the crown of Rachel. From the sole of Leah, the crown of Rachel was made. And this, 'And it shall be, because you will listen' (Deuteronomy 7:12), says the Arizal that these are the heels of Leah, the heels of the Supernal Mother (Binah) reach opposite the eyes of Zeir Anpin, because the heels enter the head of Zeir Anpin, the head of Rachel. A person comes to the world only to be consistent, this is his purpose, to be trampled upon, to be crushed, to be a doormat trampled upon."
