"One who is in Shuvu Banim can revive the dead" • The Daily Lesson from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Before you is a summary of topics from 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, Tuesday night, the 26th of MarCheshvan, Parshas Toldos:
Women are obligated to say Kiddush Levanah (the sanctification of the new moon) because they were not involved in the Sin of the Golden Calf; after the Sin of the Golden Calf, wisdom passed to the daughters. The terrible failure on Simchas Torah—they took everyone's weapons, and those who had weapons had their ammunition taken from them. In Kissufim, there was one person who had a pistol with 15 bullets; he killed 15 terrorists with precision, and all the rest thought he would kill everyone, so they fled, not knowing that he had exactly run out of bullets. The same happened in Kerem Shalom and Mefalsim. In the settlement of Yachini, there was a family from Shuvu Banim who lived at the entrance to the settlement where the terrorists were, and in the merit of traveling to Jerusalem to be here with the Rav for Simchas Torah, they were saved. It will take another million years to tell all the stories of miracles. The Etz Chaim (the primary Kabbalistic work of the Arizal) writes in section 94 that the man is in Binah (understanding) while the woman is in Chochmah (wisdom); a woman has more wisdom than a man. The fake peace they are making with Hezbollah is just about how many missiles they will fire at us without a response. The girls need to be principals and open seminaries all over the country, especially in the settlements and kibbutzim; that way, there won't be girls who go to parties and then are kidnapped in Gaza, may Hashem protect us, or killed, G-d forbid, like at Zikim beach where they wanted to celebrate on Simchas Torah so they went to the sea—we want everyone here. Therefore, all the girls should be seminary principals and the boys should be Roshei Yeshivos (heads of yeshivas). One must study Likutey Halachos (the seminal work of Reb Noson of Breslov)—the Laws of Gifts regarding the blessings that Jacob stole from Esau. And what does Esau lack? After all, he received Ukraine and the whole world! Rather, Esau wants the dew of the resurrection of the dead. One who is in Shuvu Banim can revive the dead. If the children grow up properly, they can revive the dead. If a father cannot watch over his son during the time of prayer, he is exempt from the prayer. And one must study with his wife the Laws of Gifts regarding the blessings of "from the dew of heaven."
