Secrets of the Month of Elul -- Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

IN THE MONTH OF ELUL THE JEWISH PEOPLE BATTLED SICHON, THE KING OF THE EMORITES, AND AFTER SUCCOS THEY BATTLED OG, THE KING OF THE BASHAN, IN WHOM THE SOUL OF THE TANNA SHIMON BEN NETANEL WAS "IMPREGNATED."

Since Yael killed Sisra and removed from him the soul of Rabbi Akiva, and he came afterwards in reincarnation in Abaye, Sisra's mother cried 100 tears.  Therefore, we need to blast on Rosh Hashanah 100 blasts to sweeten the weeping.

LETTER WHICH OUR REBBE RAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT"A WROTE, THROUGH WHICH WE CAN UNDERSTAND, BEZRAS HASHEM, A BIT OF THE SECRETS SURROUNDING THE MONTH OF ELUL, ROSH HASHANA, AND SUCCOS.

"At her feet, he knelt, fell vanquished (Shadud) = numerical value "Metatron" -- 314.

"Then the horse's heels were pounded...Curse Maroz...Curse, cursed are its dwellers...the ancient brook, Kishon brook...tread it, my soul, strongly."

"My sin I will make known, my iniquity I didn't conceal...Yael will be blessed among women, the wife of Chaver the Kenite...  He requested water, [she] gave milk in a saucer of the mighty, she brought him cream...At her legs he knelt, fell, lay, at her legs he knelt, fell vanquished.  She sent forth her hand to the peg, her hand to the worker's hammer, and she hammered Sisra, severed his head, smashed and pierced his temple."

Because Yael, who selected and removed from Sisra the soul of Rabbi Akiva...  "They stopped [dwelling in] unwalled cities in Israel, they stopped, until I arose, Devorah, I arose, a mother in Israel..."  And Sisra said to Yael, stand at the tent opening and if a man comes and asks you if a man is here, say that there isn't.

"And Yael, the wife of Chaver, took the peg of the tent" -- "Be-Ya-TeD" -- numerical value "Shuvu Banim" -- 416, numerical value "vTeYaBeV" -- "cried" numerical value "YaTeD -- peg" = 414, the secret of "Sisra's mother cried," the secret of "she cried 100 cries."  Therefore, we need to blast [on the shofar] 100 times to nullify the 100 cries of Sisra's mother.

Therefore, a person should learn Torah and afterwards get married, "and she said, 'I will go with you, but the path won't be for your glory, because in the hand of a woman G-d will deliver Sisra.'"

LETTER #2 FROM OUR REBBE RAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT"A

"You have begun to show to Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand, such that what power in the heavens and on earth can do like Your deeds and Your might."

"Was even a shield or a spear seen amongst 40,000 in Israel?"  If there are 40,000 keepers of Shabbos, the Jewish people are shielded, and no people, nation, or language can overcome them.

Because Yael, the wife of (ESheT=701) Chaver (210) HaKeni (175) = Sarah, Rivka, Rachel, Leah = 1086.

Hashem is G-d (Elokim=86), Sichon Melech HaEmori, and Og Melech HaBashan = 1086.

Because Yael subdued all the evil forces, even Sichon and Og, the harshest evil forces.

Yael was reincarnated in Eli the High Priest, and afterwards in Abaye, who the halachah is like in "YaEL KaGaM" (a mnemonic of 6 disputes in which the halachah is like Abaye in his disputes with Rava).  KaGaM = numerical value of Ekyeh when filled with the letter alef = 143.

Yael comes in every generation in a new incarnation and subdues all the wicked, especially Sichon king of the Emorites, and Melech king of the Bashan = 1000, and through this it's said "the thousand are to you Shlomo."
