Our teacher, the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, called from Tzalmon to one of his famous and veteran students, and in a long private conversation with him, delivered a wonderful Torah lesson filled with Torah insights

These are his holy words as understood by the editor.

"David did not receive might; he only received 5 years from Avraham, 28 from Yaakov, and another 37 from Yosef. 70 from Adam HaRishon."

"The moment Avraham called Yishmael a donkey ("And Avraham said to his young men, stay here with the donkey" Genesis 22:5, a nation similar to a donkey), he brought him into Gan Eden."

"Og king of Bashan and Sihon king of the Amorites, the Arnon River, in this parsha, merit longevity.., after Tisha B'Av, we see Hashem face to face. The matter of man is to see Hashem face to face, "Face to face Hashem spoke with you" (Deuteronomy 5:4)".

""Then Moshe set apart three cities on the side of the Jordan toward the sunrise" (ibid 4:41), Moshe set apart 3 cities of refuge on the other side of the Jordan, and after that in Parshat Mishpatim it is written that he set apart another three. With all the additions, there are a total of 15 cities, why do we need 15 cities of refuge? How many murderers are there in Israel, how many murderers will there be?"

"The Arizal says, until the rectification of all generations, now we are in the generation of the flood and the dispersion. The generation of the dispersion that built the Tower of Babel, we are building tunnels, airports, factories for building airplanes, rockets."

"The miracle that Hitler said that whatever a Jew touches is like idolatrous wine, if a Jew invented the atomic bomb then it is forbidden to touch it, otherwise Hitler would have destroyed the entire world in one year. Every atom six hundred thousand people, today it's already a million, two million people."

"Today it is possible to fly to the moon if there will be an atomic bomb we will fly to the moon, they say they will enrich uranium and it will be possible to fly to the moon - all the destruction on the moon." "We need to reach "the skin of his face shone" (Exodus 34:29) and if not, then we reach corona, 500 deceased, 25 thousand sick, already half a million have died worldwide. Now we are going to sweeten the corona, by Yom Kippur we must sweeten the corona."

"On the first of August, World War I began, in 1914, it was on Tisha B'Av. The second began on the 17th of Elul, which began with the building of the new world, a week before the 24th of Elul. On the 25th of Elul is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Elazar son of Rabbi Shimon, who... , will live up to 400 years like Boaz."

"Therefore, we read the Book of Ruth, Boaz lived 400 years which is 'Chas - Ruth', charoset, says the Arizal that this is Ruth. 'Chas' is 'life', gematria 68, the main thing is to have a spark from Ruth who was a king's daughter, but went to glean in the fields."

"Boaz asked, "Whose young woman is this" (Ruth 2:5), why are you asking this? Let her live, why are you even looking? Everyone came with carts to collect what was left from the field and Ruth took only 2, 2, she was stringent like Beit Hillel, because Beit Shammai permits collecting 3, 3."

"Boaz saw something special in Ruth, that's why he asked "Whose young woman is this". Says the Ben Ish Chai that they told him this is a Moabite young woman, it's just a custom that in Moab they collect like this."

"Tu B'Av is like Yom Kippur, so why do we dance? What, on Yom Kippur is it allowed to dance? Rather, the scarlet thread turns white, now we are at the moment when everything turns white. After Tisha B'Av it is written "Your iniquity is completed, O daughter of Zion" (Lamentations 4:22), "He has punished your iniquity" (ibid), punished is the year 5780, the year of visitation, "I have surely visited you" (Exodus 3:16)."

Everyone travels to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, departing on the Tuesday before Rosh Hashanah, at 7 in the morning, 6 already at the airport at the time of sunrise. They will land at ten and be in Uman by 12."

"If we do not reach "He has exalted the horn of His people" (Psalms 148:14), corona comes. We see Hashem face to face, Hashem walks with us, clouds of glory, this is Sukkah. The Arnon streams that 'Arnon' is the gate of the Nun."

"The Nuns have turned, "And it came to pass when the ark set forward" (Numbers 10:35), now on Tisha B'Av was the rectification of the Nuns. Jerusalem has three names: Luz, Jerusalem, and Bethel."

"When I came to the third wall, all the residents there would go down on Shabbat with beach balls. But, after that, they all came to ask forgiveness from my wife, the Rebbetzin Tehila, and said they want to be religious and that they are ashamed of their shorts. They all want to be God-fearing - now there is not even one secular person there."

"The world is divided into 22 letters, the Tet shines in Luz, "Luz was the name of the city at first" (Genesis 28:19), Luz is in Jerusalem."
