Lesson for the 'Maginei Eretz' Kollel at the Residence of the Gaon and Tzaddik

On Monday, the night of the 10th of Iyar, Parshas 'Acharei Mos-Kedoshim', a lesson was held at the home of our teacher, the Rav Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, for the Avreichim (married Torah students) of the 'Maginei Eretz' Kollel, headed by the Chassid Rabbi Michael Gol shlit"a.

The lesson lasted for over forty minutes; before you is a summary of the topics mentioned by our teacher, the Rav shlit"a, during the lesson:

Today is Netzach shebeNetzach (Endurance within Endurance - a specific day in the Counting of the Omer); we merit all salvations, one only needs to believe in the Rebbe. When Sarah was blessed with a child, everyone who believed was healed and blessed with children. "From my flesh I shall see G-d" — one must see Hashem eye to eye. Esau saw the candle that is never extinguished, but the Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) is stronger. The daughter of Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa lit vinegar instead of oil. With the Tzaddik, there is no problem; everything is miracles. The story of the son of the Tosafos Yom Tov (zt"l) who saved the son of the French consul in Vienna, and when he arrived in Vienna, he heard that in one hour they wanted to kill his father, the Tosafos Yom Tov. He then ran to the consul and reminded him of how he saved his son from the bull. Yosef (Joseph) asked the Chief Cupbearer to mention him, and for two years, every day, they made him forget the matter of Yosef. Rabbi Avraham ben Nachman (zt"l) did not allow Rabbi Levi Yitzchak (Bender, zt"l) to stay in Uman for more than two weeks, even though it was the day before Lag BaOmer. Rabbi Chiya cried, "I want to merit the mitzvah (commandment) of tzedakah (charity)." A poor person is sent to a person in order to save him from what was decreed upon him, G-d forbid. The light of the fourteenth [of Iyar], because then it is the greatest light. The 14th of Iyar — there is no proof that it is the Hillula (anniversary of passing) of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes. A person needs to shine light into his children, to sing with them; this way, they will not want to commit sins. The secret of "seven seven seven" — "And the light of the sun shall be as the light of the moon, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days." When a person asks "What shall we eat?", he stops the shefa (Divine abundance). There is no difference if a person is in the heart of the desert or on King George Street; if it was decreed for him to receive food, he will receive it, as occurred in the story. Today is Netzach shebeNetzach; everyone will merit all salvations.
