Only the Girls Can Save the Generation! • The Daily Lesson from the Gaon and

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a - yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Tuesday night, the 27th of Sivan, Parshas Korach:

"Every person must say ninety Amens, ten Kaddishes, and four Kedushas (sanctification prayers): 'Holy, Holy, Holy.' These are said during the Chazzan's repetition of the Shacharis (morning) and Mincha (afternoon) prayers, in 'Uva L'Tzion', and in the 'Yotzrot' (blessings before Shema). And after that, one hundred blessings, which is the gematria (numerical value) of Tzaddik – and the acronym for Tzaddik (Tzadi=90, Dalet=4, Yud=10, Kuf=100).

And every father must watch over his children. He is exempt from prayer if he cannot watch them... The children are unfortunate; they don't know what is permitted and what is forbidden; they live according to reflexes. Until the age of sixteen, a person lives according to reflexes—only what a father manages to control. Most fathers don't succeed in controlling their children; they don't know how to control a child—they give him a candy, a popsicle, an ice pop, a soda can. During 'Vayivarech David', they distribute two thousand cans to all the children. And every Avreich (married Torah student) should adopt one child [to watch over].

And all the girls must know that their role is to be teachers; it depends only on the girls—they can save the generation. Now one [girl] was burned in Neve Yaakov, turned to ash. She could have truly been a principal for a thousand girls. Every girl can be a principal for a thousand girls. She needs to know a chapter in Shoftim (Judges), a chapter in Yehoshua (Joshua); that is what she needs to know, a chapter in Shmuel (Samuel). At least a principal, a teacher. And girls who lack material, well, now from Motzaei Shabbos (Saturday night) which is the 1st of Tammuz until the 1st of Elul, we have sixty days—she can complete all the material.

Einstein, during the summer vacation, finished all his studies; he finished all the studies he had to learn. During—in his life, he never played with children, in his life he never threw stones at Arabs nor at cars. He only sat at home and read all the books there were. There is 'What is Good to Know' and there is 'Good to Know', and there are science books in fourteen volumes—he finished at age twelve—fourteen volumes of science. Every girl can read science books; it is permitted to read all the secrets of science. There are many volumes of science that are permitted for Haredim (ultra-Orthodox) to read, and every girl must be either a principal or a teacher. She has no excuse; knowing a chapter in Tanakh (Bible) is not a problem, it's just a few stories.

And every boy needs to know the stories in the Gemara (Talmud). Now Bava Batra begins; it's all stories about Rav Acha bar Yaakov, who wrote four hundred Torah scrolls in one day. He did it in four hundred seconds; that's seven minutes. If he did it in two seconds [per scroll], then it's fourteen minutes. And after that, he planted four hundred vineyards; he planted four hundred saplings. At the end of the vineyard, which is called—every sapling is a minute—four hundred minutes. Four hundred minutes is called seven hours; in seven hours he planted four hundred [saplings]. Everyone needs to read these stories with his sister, with his mother. A mother should teach the child—now it's Bava Batra; it's possible next year to finish the tractate, and we will merit the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!"‏.
