Shiur 10th of Tevet - Sheva Brachot Zucker-Reicher at the House of Rav Berland 5779 by the Holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

"'Tzipporah' (the wife of Moshe) flew in the air, she became a radiant angel, she uttered the explicit Name and ascended to the heavens, she was taught the explicit Name, once every girl knew the explicit Name. How does the High Priest succeed in overcoming everyone, it is written that the angels cry, the seraphim cry, the Shechinah cries out of fear. The High Priest is the tzaddik, this is Shimon the Tzaddik, in his time the scarlet thread would turn white, all our work is to whiten the scarlet thread, therefore on the eve of Yom Kippur the girls would go out to dance in the vineyards."

"Rabbi Shimon ben Gamliel said, there were no better days for Israel than the fifteenth of Av and Yom Kippur, when the daughters of Jerusalem would go out in borrowed white garments, so as not to shame those who did not have" (Taanit 30b, Bava Batra 121a). Yom Kippur is a day when we sit on the ground and cry for all the sins and blemishes from the sin of Adam HaRishon, not a day to go out in dances. However, from the moment the scarlet thread was hung on the window, it immediately turned white, so everyone would go out in dances. When the Holy Temple will be rebuilt, they will hang the scarlet thread on the window and it will immediately turn white. For the women who are distant from sin, because they did not sin with the Golden Calf, it would immediately turn white, if she hangs the scarlet thread on the window until morning it should turn white."

"The Degel Machaneh Ephraim says in Parshat Bo that a wedding is truly like Yom Kippur and greater than Yom Kippur. 'Three days and for all Bnei Yisrael there was light in their dwellings' (Exodus 10), that Sheva Brachot is such a light that extends over the entire year. 'Again will be heard in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride' (Jeremiah 16), we ask that the 'voice of the groom and the voice of the bride' should continue for all their lives. 'In the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem', that the groom and bride should never have to leave Jerusalem. For every hour in Jerusalem is like a thousand hours elsewhere. Every hour in Israel is like a thousand hours abroad, and every hour in Jerusalem is like a million hours abroad."
