The Convert in Israel is Above Place and Time - The Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a in Bnei Brak

The Tree of Life Must Overcome the Tree of Knowledge

"On Tu B'Shvat, the Tree of Life was revealed, for Adam HaRishon connected the Tree of Life with the Tree of Knowledge. Now the task is to separate them, so that the Tree of Life will be distinct from the Tree of Knowledge - through this, the Tree of Life will overcome the Tree of Knowledge. A person who is included in the Tree of Life is above place and time and above measure, like the Torah, which is above measure."

The Shuvu Banim Yeshiva is Above Place and Time

"The 'Ben Ish Chai' brings in Parshat Lech Lecha that the closer a person lives to the Even HaShtiya, the greater the kedushah (holiness). The 'Shuvu Banim' yeshiva is 180 meters from the Even HaShtiya, which is ten times 'chai' (life), from which the 'Shuvu Banim' yeshiva rectifies all things in the world - therefore, the 'Shuvu Banim' yeshiva is above place and time, and above measure."

All of Israel Entered Between the Poles

"The groom and bride are also above place and time, therefore the law of Sukkot is learned from the cherubim, ten tefachim, which are above place and above time. A person who enters the sukkah is above place and time, therefore he should not enter a sukkah above 40 cubits, which is above place and time. And this is the matter of the poles of the Ark, that 'Shuvu Banim' corresponds to the Ark of the Covenant, where there are the two poles of the Ark. It is written (Joshua 3:9) "And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come here and hear the words of Hashem your God." It is written in Bereshit Rabbah "Come here" that all of Israel entered between the poles. Whoever is called Joshua is above place and time."

Jerusalem is the Little that Holds the Much

"All of Israel were "standing crowded and bowing spaciously" (Avot 5:5) in the Holy Temple, so too "standing crowded and bowing spaciously" in 'Shuvu Banim' where a thousand people can enter "standing crowded and bowing spaciously". Only in Jerusalem is the little that holds the much, 'Shuvu Banim' was once in Bnei Brak and moved to Jerusalem, because all of Jerusalem is above place and time. A person who lives in Eretz Yisrael is above place and above time, which is the land of the deer. The little that holds the much, the flesh more than the skin, the kedushah (holiness) is greater than the physicality."
