Rabbeinu Said that the Redemption Will Come Only Through the Girls – Daily Shiur

THE DAILY SHIUR WITH MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A, FROM TUESDAY, 28 SHEVAT, PARSHAT MISHPATIM, AFTER MAARIV:

So, “If you take your fellow’s garment as security” – if the dress is not long enough, then every day a hundred soldiers are killed.  Every day, ten soldiers are killed, ten wounded.  Everyone needs to smash their Xiaomi.  Every girl should smash her Xiaomi, every boy should smash his Xiaomi, and then there will be a pillar of fire [upon them].  [Like Devorah} Eshet Lapidot, who was surrounded by torches.  Devorah the prophetess was surrounded by torches of fire.  Every day, she would prophesize, and all the girls were prophets – 600,000 prophetesses.  In every generation, during the First Temple, 850 years.  And during the time of Shilo, during the time of the Tabernacle, all of them were prophetesses, all the girls were prophetesses.  They saw from one end of the world to the other.

Like Serach bat Asher, who knew through prophecy that Yosef was alive, because whoever would reveal [to Yaakov] that Yosef was alive, [was supposed to] die on the spot.  Because [Yaakov would have said:] “For 22 years, you don’t reveal to me.  How can you see grandpa sit on the ground and cry?  22 years and you don’t tell.”  Then Serach bat Asher said: “Even if I die, I don’t care.”  So the Baal HaTurim asks how she knew, from where did she know that Yosef was alive.  So they said that Asher revealed it to her, Asher revealed it to her.  So he was in excommunication.  “To Asher, he said, ‘Blessed amongst sons is Asher’” – this is the numerical value of “a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might.”  Because if a person goes with a long dress, they break the Xiaomi, then they merit to “a spirit of wisdom and understanding, a spirit of counsel and might, a spirit of knowledge and fear of Hashem.”  Therefore, Asher merited that all his daughters were always pure, were never once impure.  Therefore, the High Priests only took [wives] from the tribe of Asher.  And this is what Leah said: “In my good fortune!  For women have deemed me fortunate!”  Because all the daughters of Asher where always pure, always holy.  Because the redemption will only come through the girls, the redemption…  Rabbeinu said that the redemption will only come through the girls, who break their Xiaomi and impure things, shatter them.  Then they will bring the redemption, and in their merit, the war will stop, speedily in our days, Amen!
