"The Massacre on Simchat Torah is Because of the Sale of Joseph" • The Daily Lesson from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days), last night, Monday, Parshat Yitro, the night of the 20th of Shevat, following the Maariv (evening) prayer:
"All the women from Tzipori, from Tzfat, from Kfar Shamai, and from Meron would fly through the air. Every holiday and every day, they would go to Vatikin (the sunrise prayer service) to pray at the Kotel (Western Wall) — in the Holy Temple — and fly back through the air before sending the children to the cheder (traditional Torah school). The vans would arrive, but the children weren't even downstairs yet. The women would arrive back at eight in the morning, and the sandwiches were already prepared, all of them. Immediately, they would send the children down within two minutes, with a sandwich in one hand and a Tikkun HaKlali (the General Rectification prayer) in the other. Every child had to recite the Tikkun HaKlali; by the time he reached the cheder, he would have finished the Tikkun HaKlali three times. And so, all the women would fly through the air because they all dressed modestly (literally: 'went long') and they all covered their legs.
Michal said to David, 'You shall not enter the house; I saw your legs, you shall not enter the house.' [David] performed acrobatics in the air in honor of the Ark of the Covenant; he flew through the air. He [David] was a captive, he was among the hostages; Avishai said, 'I don't care that he is among the hostages.' This was against the Hague Convention, against the Geneva Convention; he entered into Rafah and rescued David. I don't know how many... he eliminated hundreds of terrorists there; for this, there will be an international trial.
Because they are now accusing the People of Israel of the murder of twenty-five million Germans who were killed in World War II. They said the Jews are to blame for everything—they caused the war, they caused the loss of twenty-five million Nazi German 'righteous ones' who all died in World War II. Now they only blame the People of Israel; all of this was decided in the Hague, and in the Geneva Convention, and the Oslo Accords.
Therefore, the moment the girls dress modestly (literally: 'go long') and break their Xiaomi (smartphone), she will immediately merit the Pillar of Fire and torches of fire, like Deborah 'Eishet Lapidot' (Woman of Torches) who was surrounded by torches of fire and would prophesy every time. For every woman can be a prophetess; in every generation, there were sixty myriad (600,000) prophetesses—every second girl was a prophetess.
And therefore, Serach bat Asher knew that Joseph was alive. Because anyone who would have told [Jacob] that Joseph was alive would have died on the spot [from Jacob's strictness, as he would have said to him:] 'What, for twenty-two years you have been deceiving us? You are deceiving your father? You sold Joseph as a slave, how are you not [ashamed]?! How did you commit such a crime?!' Until today, this has not been atoned for! All the Shoahs (Holocausts) and the entire Holocaust, and every first and second Holocaust, the destruction of the First Temple, and the destruction of the Second Temple—it is all because of the sale of Joseph. Also, the massacre that occurred on Simchat Torah is because of the sale of Joseph. This is something that will never be atoned for! Because selling a brother cannot be atoned for. (And Joseph) and Jacob sat for twenty-two years on the floor and just cried and cried and cried. As it is written in Ezra 3, that they did not hear the sound of joy [of the building of the Second Temple] because of the intensity of the weeping [of the elders who remembered the miracles of the First Temple]. There was such weeping that the joy could not be heard.
And the moment every girl dresses modestly (literally: 'goes long') and breaks her Xiaomi (smartphone), the war will be nullified and the complete Geulah (Redemption) will come speedily in our days, Amen!"
