The Holy Words of the Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland in Kiryat Gat - 10th of Shevat 5779

"It is written in the Gemara (Yerushalmi Ma'aser Sheni) that all the daughters of Tzipori would always observe Shabbat in Jerusalem; they never observed Shabbat in Tzipori. On the eve of Shabbat, before lighting candles, they would recite the Ineffable Name and arrive directly in Jerusalem. Every morning, they would come for the Vatikin prayer in Jerusalem in the Holy of Holies. They would pray in the Holy of Holies, for the woman will ultimately become the High Priest. Every modest woman will be the High Priest. Every woman is destined to be a High Priest, like Yael who smote Sisera's head."

""And Hashem remembered Sarah as He had said, and Hashem did for Sarah as He had spoken" (Genesis 21:1), Hashem remembers. It is written in the Book of Ruth, "And Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he came to her, and Hashem granted her conception, and she bore a son" (Ruth 4:13), for the conception was from Hashem. A woman should be remembered by Hashem, not by a man, like Rabbi Zeira. From today, every woman is remembered directly by Hashem, all the barren women are remembered. Like in Egypt, when Amram divorced Yocheved at the age of 130, because before the age of 130 one should not divorce, then Miriam came and immediately caused Amram to return to her mother. Miriam asked Yocheved, why did father divorce you? Amram divorced Yocheved because of the decree, "And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive" (Exodus 1:22)."

A person comes into the world to reside only in Jerusalem, as the Chatam Sofer wrote to his student Amram Chassida that he should reside only in Jerusalem ("And indeed, before the separation of the great rabbi, our teacher Amram from here, I would repeatedly emphasize to him that he should reside only in Jerusalem... And as the Ramban z"l did, even though in Tzfat there are the graves of known holy men, nevertheless, who would exchange this for the holiness of Jerusalem and the place of the Temple... and he traveled with the intention of going by sea through Jaffa to Jerusalem, and the Divine orchestrators diverted him through Akko, and he came to Tzfat. After he arrived there, he wrote to me and asked for advice if he should uproot [=move] from there to Jerusalem. Then I said that I am against standing [=different from lying down], since he is already there and has established his residence. And from his letter, it seems that residing in Jerusalem is difficult for him, and I perceived his intention [=his opinion], that he only wanted to appease me for going against my advice, so I left him." Responsa Chatam Sofer, Part 2, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 234.). The Chatam Sofer told him, you come to Israel only on the condition that you come to reside in Jerusalem, if not, do not come. But Amram Chassida came through Sidon and traveled on donkeys through Tzfat and then he broke, he did not have the strength to continue to Jerusalem. In the end, he lost two daughters, there was an earthquake, and all of Tzfat was destroyed."
