The Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a at a Lesson with Dr. Itamar Raz in Musrara

The esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a arrived last Motza'ei Shabbat at the home of Dr. Itamar Raz in Musrara. In addition to the many students who came to hear the lesson of the Rav shlit"a, the newlywed Ephraim Geltman also arrived at the place. These are the words of Rav Berland shlit"a.

"They continued the spirit of life from the ancient times (the Rav speaks about the new bride and groom), he is Elijah the Prophet, and Miriam his wife (the bride) is Miriam the Prophetess. Elijah the Prophet guided Miriam and told her not to fear, and then she turned into stones and walls, she turned into tables, into chairs. So Pharaoh wanted to kill her, he said, 'Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive' (Exodus 1:22). Initially, Pharaoh said only to suffocate, when they are born, they should say they suffocated at birth. Pharaoh saw that this was not helping, that they were only deceiving and lying to him, so he said, from now on 'Every son that is born you shall cast into the river.'

"Amram learned from here that one must divorce, but the best is without divorcing, you are married, aren't you?" the Rav asked those present. Amram went to the court and said that now he has no choice and he needs to divorce, and then all of Israel divorced. The women said that now they will make prayers about it and indeed for nine months they prayed. Then the women ran to the field to their husbands."
