Parshas Mattos-Masei - "Through Torah study

Words of The Rav, The Holy Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, from Thursday, Parshas 'Mattos-Masei' 5777

Whoever immerses in the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) is immediately blessed with children (nefkad) through Miriam's Well (Midrash Chukat), because Miriam's Well is in the Kinneret. Whoever comes there and asks Hashem to immerse in Miriam's Well is blessed with children on the spot. A person who immerses in the Kinneret can revive the dead and heal all the illnesses in the world. Everyone needs to have sixty sons and sixty daughters. Sixty myriad [600,000] descendants were born to Jacob within seventeen years, according to the calculation of sixty born in one womb.

A person must pray to Hashem to have nine hundred million descendants (according to the aforementioned calculation of 60 in one womb within four reproductive cycles), that they all live, all learn Torah, and that he has yeshivas for all of them—endless yeshivas. Then he educates them from age zero to learn Torah; a person must learn Torah from age 3. From 7:30 in the morning for 12 hours, it is possible to learn sixty myriad letters (according to a calculation of two hundred letters per minute).

On the condition that a person does not lift his head from the book, then he includes all the sixty myriads [of Israel]. Then he can awaken all sixty myriads to teshuvah (repentance). Start learning Tractate Yevamos, after that Kesubos, all in one day. In twelve hours, one can finish two tractates. It is possible to finish the Shas (Talmud) every day; the Rogatchover [Gaon] would go through the entire Shas once every day. There are people who finish the Shas every month, but it is possible to finish it every day if one does not lift one's head from the book.

Thursday in Parshas 'Mattos-Masei' 5777 - A lesson delivered by The Rav shlit"a before the Bris

... The Tikkun HaKlali is at seven exactly until ten to eight, then the Torah reading at eight—Torah reading will be at twenty to eight. Today we will also read 'Vayichal' [fast day reading]; if there are ten men fasting, we can read 'Vayichal'. (Yossi Shor: Yesterday they didn't accept [the fast] upon themselves). They didn't accept it? Then it's impossible. So we will read it tomorrow, on Friday. On Friday—you come here at twenty to eight—tomorrow, tomorrow. On Motzaei Shabbos (Saturday night), we need to organize buses, organize about five buses. At twelve we will finish Melaveh Malkah, and then they will arrive at 1:30, arrive at 2:00, immerse until 3:00, be back at 4:30 to 5:00. At 12:30 exactly they will finish Melaveh Malkah, at the latest by 1:00, and immediately they will manage to get here by 4:30 or 5:00. Everyone will immerse. There will be buses for women; they will immerse in a different place. And for men, everyone will immerse in the Kinneret. Let us hope that we will merit, in another two months, we will already go out [free] on Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan. Cheshvan is [associated with] the scorpion (Scorpio) — I have never seen such a stupid scorpion in my life. Once a 'Kushi' [parable figure] might say, 'If you elect me as Prime Minister, I will slaughter you, I will put you among scorpions, I will put you among snakes. Whoever elects me should know that I will put him among scorpions and snakes.' What a madman, this is the stupidest 'Kushi' to say that. Say there will be discounts—there will be, there won't be taxes in the banks, there won't be taxes, I will cancel all the taxes. There are countries where there are no taxes – Yom Kippur was in Australia – Natan Bergman needs to make a Siyum (completion) on Bava Batra. Seven years ago. Where? In Antarctica. Where is Antarctica? On the moon? On Mars? I don't know. He arrived in Tierra del Fuego ('Land of Fire'). One needs to reach Tierra del Fuego. As he gets off the plane without a penny in his pocket, without a cent, two or three people with curls [payos] down to here (The Rav demonstrates down to the waist) come to him. He sees one with payos – 'With payos? What do you need? Why did you come here? What are you doing? Are you a spy?' He arrived at the Persian border, they told him, 'You are a spy, you are fleeing, what are you?' 'I didn't come here to pray at graves of tzaddikim, did you come to flee to Eretz Yisrael?' He arrives in Tierra del Fuego. Why does he arrive in Tierra del Fuego? Why does he arrive? He wants to be fire. I understand, he wants to be fire. You want to be fire? Travel to the Land of Fire, turn into a coal, into fire. He saw fire, he saw a bonfire, that's how it is in Tierra del Fuego. The gentiles are foolish. So he arrives in Tierra del Fuego, traveling like that without a penny in his pocket. Three people arrived, three with curls down to their shoulders. 'What are you looking for here?' 'I am looking for a Breslov synagogue.' 'Breslov? There is, there is—a Breslov synagogue.' They brought him to the synagogue. 'What else do you need?' 'I want a ticket to Antarctica.' First thing, ask for a ticket to Antarctica. What is there? 'I want to make a Siyum on Bava Batra in Antarctica.' He decided to make a Siyum. 'If you make a Siyum on Bava Batra in Antarctica, I promise you ten sons, ten daughters, everything there.' 'If your sins prove to be like crimson, they will become white as snow' (Isaiah 1:18). Where there is ice, all sins are whitened. In the month of Tevet, it is written that all sins are whitened, because then is the Yichud (unification) of the Holy One, Blessed is He, and His Shechinah (Divine Presence). And then... and the snow is not just snow, it shows that everything has been whitened. Arriving in Antarctica, everything... in the hotels there... let's make a Shuvu Banim hotel. We'll open one, charge a thousand dollars a night. We'll make a hotel out of ice, it doesn't melt. Bring a tractor, it makes... (Someone interrupts: There is one in Switzerland). In Switzerland, but it melts. Also in Canada, it melts. When the Seder night arrives, it already melts. But in Antarctica, you can make a hotel out of ice that will never melt. We'll take some guys, and every night will cost a thousand dollars. We can make a thousand rooms every night, that's a million dollars a day. We'll bring a tractor there to arrange the layers of ice, three floors, four floors. Then 'If your sins prove to be like crimson, they will become white as snow'—Antarctica. He makes the Siyum there, and immediately they bought him a ticket, gave him all the money immediately, a round-trip ticket. He met there the one who founded Hadassah, the one who built Hadassah seventy years ago, the first donor of Hadassah, a billionaire Jew. So if a person wants to reach Antarctica, he has all the chances. Let him take Tractate Bava Batra and sit there and start learning Bava Batra. So now we can say (at the Bris), 'Baruch HaBa' (Welcome). (The Mohel and the crowd: Baruch HaBa). (Someone interrupts: Let the Rav mention her). Tziporah the daughter of? (Someone interrupts: Tziporah bas Miriam). Bas Miriam. Tziporah bas Miriam is blessed with children (nifkedet) today, with the help of Hashem. We are today, today—to the Kinneret on Motzaei Shabbos. Whoever immerses in the Kinneret is immediately blessed with children (nefkad) through Miriam's Well. We just read in the Midrash for Chukat about Miriam's Well. Miriam's Well is in the Kinneret, and whoever comes there and asks Hashem to immerse in Miriam's Well, then on the spot he is blessed with children. It is possible to revive the dead. A person who immerses in the Kinneret can revive the dead, heal all the illnesses in the world. Everyone needs to have sixty sons, sixty daughters, Amen. Sixty myriad were born to Jacob within seventeen years; the calculation comes out to sixty in one womb.

Do (sixty) seventy times sixty, that's four thousand two hundred. And another hundred times sixty times four thousand two hundred is two hundred fifty-two thousand. Another hundred times sixty is... is 24 times 6 is fifteen million. Within... a year there were already fifteen million. And every year they would give birth, and they already gave birth at age seven, so it could already be one hundred million, two hundred million. Times sixty times sixty, two thousand two hundred. Another hundred times sixty is... is two hundred fifty-two thousand. Twenty-five times six is (one million five hundred) fifteen million. Times 60 is already nine hundred million. Nine hundred million. So they reached a billion within four cycles. Four—they reached nine hundred million, which is exactly a billion. So people can... each one will merit sixty children, so within a hundred years he can reach nine hundred milli... of grandchildren and descendants and great-grandchildren. Nine hundred million. This is what a person needs to pray to Hashem for: that he should have nine hundred million descendants, that they all live, and all learn Torah, and all... he will have yeshivas, endless yeshivas. And then he educates them from age zero to learn Torah.

A person needs to learn Torah from age 3. Whoever doesn't... Now, 7:30 until twenty to eight is twelve hours. It is possible to learn... in twelve and a half hours it is possible to... sixty myriad letters. 480... that is exactly one hundred twenty... that is exactly sixty myriad letters. Every minute is eight hundred letters. Two hundred words a minute times sixty is 48,000 letters an hour. Times ten hours is 480,000. And another two and a half hours is one hundred twenty [thousand]. So if a person does not lift his head from the book, then he includes all the sixty myriads. Then he can awaken all the sixty myriads to teshuvah, on the condition that he does not lift his head. It is possible to learn Kesubos. Start learning Kesubos now. It is possible to finish Yevamos, after that Kesubos. All in one day. In twelve hours (we finish). It is possible to finish two tractates. Every day to finish the Shas. The Rogatchover would go through the Shas every day. The Rogatchover would go through the Shas every day. Every day he would finish it once. There are people who finish every month, but it is possible to finish every day. It is possible—[if] one does not lift the head from the book. When there is no yeshiva, then certainly it is possible. A tractate... Now let's say 'Baruch HaBa'.
