Through Prayer, Everything Can Be Accomplished • A Melave Malka Class by the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Rebbe Nachman can save the entire world, both non-Jews and Jews alike. The Rebbe once said, "If the father will accept what I tell him, the child will be healthy," but the father did not accept it, and the child passed away. The Rebbe can bring about any healing in the world.

Rabbi Nachman of Horodenka asked the Baal Shem Tov, "What, is there no prayer that can save you?" The Baal Shem Tov replied, "There is, but you do not know it." Because everything is possible with prayer; one can sweeten (mitigate) any harsh judgment in the world.

The Shaar HaPesukim writes that Zevulun corresponds to Keser (Crown - the highest Sefirah). When a person brings parnassah (livelihood) [to support Torah], this is the highest level. For in the future to come, it is written that Zevulun will fill an entire ship with fruit, as the verse says, "They will call the nations to the mountain" (Devarim 33:19)—meaning that in his merit, all the nations will do teshuvah (repentance). Because the world will ask him, "How are there such fruits? Where are they produced?" Then Zevulun will tell them that it is in the merit of Torah study that such fruits are created.

All the holocausts and tragedies in the world are because of the selling of Yosef HaTzaddik. When we travel to Yosef [his tomb in Shechem], we sweeten (mitigate) this.

The Gemara in Kesubos brings the story of Reish Lakish, who saw grapes the size of a calf and asked, "Why are there calves in the vineyards?" They told him, "That is not a calf; it is a cluster of grapes!"

The firmament of Zevul is where the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple) is located—through Zevulun, the Beis HaMikdash will be built, because whatever he earns, he does not keep for himself.

Just like Yoav, who distributed everything he had to tzedakah (charity); therefore, every blessing of his is multiplied a billion trillion times.

Rabbi Elazar ben Arach left his students, and because of this, he made a mistake [in reading the Torah] and said, "Hacharesh haya libam" (Their hearts were deaf) instead of "Hachodesh hazeh lachem" (This month shall be for you).

When a person learns Torah, it is considered as if he is learning Torah at Mount Sinai.
