"Only Through the Righteous Daughters of Israel Will the War Cease and the Redemption Come" • The Daily Lesson from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – yesterday after the Ma'ariv (evening) prayer, Wednesday, Parshas Ki Tisa, the night of the 22nd of Adar I:

"Now, ten yeshiva students from the Chispin Yeshiva in the Golan near Kinar were killed. Two were killed [as a result of] an entire building exploding upon them, and seven entered inside a tunnel that was completely booby-trapped. It is all because there are still girls who have not lengthened their skirts. Every girl must know that if she does not lengthen her skirt, another hundred people are killed; every day another hundred people are killed. Thirty missiles flew toward Meron; who knows if they will even approve holding the Hilula (celebration of a Tzaddik's passing). Shuvu Banim will go in any case. So now they are launching missiles at Meron, every day it gets worse – worse than yesterday. It is all because there are still girls who haven't lengthened their skirts, haven't broken the Xiaomi (smartphone brand). Every girl should break her Xiaomi, smash it to pieces, the smartphone. It is forbidden to keep it! Just as Devorah the Prophetess broke the Xiaomi, and she merited the Amuda d'Nura (pillar of fire) – she was called 'Eshet Lapidot' (Woman of Flames) because she was entirely torches of fire. Every girl who breaks the Xiaomi will be entirely torches of fire! Like Yonatan ben Uziel who was entirely torches of fire; any bird that flew over him would be burned! Everyone will travel today to Amuka (the burial site of Yonatan ben Uziel) to Yonatan ben Uziel, and after that to Chevron (Hebron), and from there to Uman (the burial site of Rebbe Nachman) without exception. For every girl needs to be surrounded by flames of fire. A girl who does not listen to musicians [of secular music], not to secular songs, not to songs of to'evah (abomination), then at that moment she is surrounded by pillars of fire – by a pillar of fire! For forty years they were surrounded by a pillar of fire! All the girls were pure, the entire desert – forty years, and two hundred and ten [years] in Mitzrayim (Egypt). The daughters of Asher were always pure; no impurity existed. All the Kohanim (priests) married only the daughters of Asher; all the kings married only the daughters of Asher. Therefore, 'Blessed be Asher above sons,' therefore, 'In my happiness, for the daughters have called me happy (ishruni).' Because the Geulah (Redemption) will come only through the daughters; only through the daughters will the war cease. And the Geulah (Redemption) will come only through the righteous daughters of Israel. And then there will be the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!""‏.
