"On the 20th of Sivan the Third Beis HaMikdash Must Be Built!" • The Daily

Before you is a summary from the daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a - yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Sunday night, the eve of 20 Sivan, Parshas Shelach:

Today, the 20th of Sivan, the date of the decrees of Tach veTat (the massacres of 1648-1649), Rabbi Nosson writes that the Geulah (Redemption) was supposed to happen then. It is written in Likutey Halachos, in the Laws of Chovel b'Chaveiro (One Who Wounds His Fellow); everyone should study this with his wife. Now it is 21:00; 2:00 AM is Chatzos (midnight), and everyone should study Zohar page 139 and know all the stories that occurred during Tach veTat—how Rabbi Michel of Nemirov fled to the cemetery and was murdered there—all of this must be read. Until 5:00 AM there are eight hours; one must study everything. Tehillim (Psalms) takes two hours. Tomorrow there are no cheders (boys' schools) and no seminaries; every girl should finish the Tikkun Chatzos (Midnight Lamentation). The 1st of Tammuz falls on Friday. Rabbi Nosson explains that the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple) was supposed to descend then. Regarding Nadav and Avihu—at that moment Nachshon arrived with his sacrifice, and Moshe said to him, "Do you want to be burned?" so Hashem told him to accept it, saying "this is My matter," and the title 'Nasi' (Prince) is not written regarding him. The decrees continued until the year 5415 (1655). The Sha'ar Ephraim (Rabbi Ephraim HaKohen) fled with his son-in-law [the grandfather of] Rabbi Yaakov Emden; they fled as far as Budapest. We were there at the Danube and said Tashlich (prayer by the water) there; Jews were killed there during the Holocaust on the riverbank. It was two cities with the river in the middle that were joined into one city. Tonight there will be one more missile, and tomorrow five times, so four books of Tehillim are needed. The girls should finish Tehillim and study Jeremiah and Ezekiel together—that is 176 verses. The boys should wake up at 5:00 AM; for whoever stays awake all night, that is best. At 5:30 AM is Netz (sunrise), and at six they go to sleep until nine. They should finish Tehillim and also study Tractate Me'ilah regarding Rabbi Elazar son of Rabbi Shimon, who was once strict with someone and that person died; then Rabbi Elazar remembered he had sworn not to kill anyone, so he resurrected him. Similarly, Rabbi Yochanan argued in learning with Reish Lakish and then told him that he only knows [the law] because he was once the leader of the bandits; Reish Lakish's spirit became weak and he said to him, "I do not want you to be my Rabbi," so Rabbi Yochanan was strict with him and he died, and he did not resurrect him. Now, besides Tisha B'Av and Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, Av and Tisha B'Av, and Rosh Chodesh Elul, there is a long Tikkun Chatzos until the night of the 9th of Tishrei, which is the aspect of Netzach (Victory). The war continues until they bring a 12-ton bomb to penetrate the bunker where the real bomb is located. For this, the American bombs are needed, but Trump is a "Persian" (stubborn) and he does not agree, because he is angry at Bibi for not entering Gaza on the 60th day. So in another two weeks they will already send an atom [bomb], but whoever prays here will remain alive. The war can be finished within a week, but 12 tons into the ground are required because they have uranium; they have two weeks left—if they hadn't bombed, nothing would be left already today. In Bat Yam there are 12 killed, three are missing. So the girls say the Tehillim, then they will study Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Ezekiel together—that is 176 verses—and afterward they will say Tikkun Chatzos, and then we will merit the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!
