Just now a missile fell in Netivot—one person is critically wounded. Ten were killed on the northern border; they evacuated all the communities—Hanita, Sasa, Shlomi. And soon they will evacuate Nahariya and Akko, maybe even Haifa.

Holy words of The Rav, the holy gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, delivered regarding the “Swords of Iron” war:

It could be that everyone will need to live in the Sahara Desert, or maybe on some island in the Pacific Ocean. We’ll see what the plans of the Chief of Staff and the Defense Minister are—where they want to transfer us. Maybe the moon is the safest. Meanwhile, they are already evacuating fourteen communities in the north; they have already evacuated them. People were left without a home, and they are going to live in schools and all kinds of clubs—without toilets, without showers, without clothing.

They left without clothes. They evacuated from Be’eri, from Kfar Aza, from Nahal Oz—they evacuated them in the middle of gunfire. For four days there was shooting; terrorists took control of the entire south. They evacuated them under fire. Everyone was only in nightgowns—they pulled the women out of their beds in nightgowns. They were left without shoes, without clothes, without anything. They are asking people to donate clothing; they are asking people to donate mattresses, to donate blankets.

Because it is all because of the girls who shorten the dress a little, open a button—over every button a girl opens on Shabbos, a soldier is killed. They still aren’t entering Gaza because they wanted to go in on Friday night, on Motzaei Shabbos, but in the end it’s impossible—because there are still maybe a million terrorists there. A million were already evacuated, but a million remain—and they are all terrorists, all Hamas. Hamas—over there they all go with covered girls and they say, “We are the righteous ones.” All the girls are covered in Hamas. They don’t smoke—smoking is forbidden in Hamas. Everyone walks with enormous kippahs, ten, twenty centimeters. Therefore they claim they will succeed—and they conquered the entire south for four days; they conquered the entire south.

Because the Chief of Staff and the Defense Minister went out to drink, apparently, to fulfill “And you shall rejoice on your festival.” Because they called them and said, “Five terrorists have already infiltrated here”—and they didn’t hear at all; their ear is blocked up.They don’t pray and they don’t say, “You graciously endow man with knowledge” (“Atah Chonen l’Adam Daas”). There is no army—they took weapons from the soldiers; they disarmed everyone. This is the Jewish mind: when it doesn’t learn Torah, it becomes a mind turned upside-down. Instead of learning Gemara—where everything is “upside-down upon upside-down”—they turn the soldiers into cannon fodder, into sacrifices. Two hundred and fifty captives, one thousand five hundred killed, four thousand wounded—there is no room left in the hospitals.

Everything is because the state is led by secular people who don’t pray, don’t say Shemoneh Esrei, don’t say “Atah Chonen l’Adam Daas”—they have no daas.As it is written in Yeshayahu: “All of you are blind, all of you are deaf.” Yet in Yeshayahu’s time they still had the strongest army in the world. Chizkiyahu said: I only teach Torah; I don’t know anything. Two billion six hundred million two hundred sixty thousand ten-thousands came. A “ten-thousand” is ten million; times two hundred sixty is two billion six hundred million—they came. There was no water left in the Jordan. The camp was one hundred sixty parsah in length and eighty parsah in width—which is four hundred kilometers just in width.

And there was an army—an army came from the whole world. Sancheriv said: “For this I conquered the whole world”—so that he could fight with Israel. He said: Bring me mattresses, bring me blankets, bring me pillows. The war was thirty meters high. He was forty meters tall, so he saw all of Jerusalem—such a small city, I’ve never seen. It is written: Ninveh is a three-day journey; Antioch is three; Rome is three days; here it’s ten minutes. You walk from Sha’ar Shechem to Sha’ar HaAshpos in ten minutes. In ten minutes we went from the Kosel to Sha’ar Shechem on the night of Simchas Torah—during the hakafos. They did hakafos (at the nature party in Re’im) with vodka and with whiskey.Now they are all already in Gan Eden. They were the purest souls, the holiest. But Hashem wanted to take them—so that instead of drinking vodka, they should enjoy the radiance of the Shechinah; that is more important.

So now they are all in Gan Eden, but we remained here. And now everything depends on us—that there should not be a war at all. And on Tuesday the Prime Minister of France, Macron, is already arriving, and therefore it’s impossible to even begin the war. Because each time another prime minister arrives—Britain, Italy—from everywhere they have already come. Everyone wants to participate in the pain of the people of Israel. Two thousand soldiers are already ready—an American commando unit—ready.

Meanwhile Hezbollah is wiping out the entire north. Soon they will evacuate Akko, they will evacuate Nahariya—and where will they take them? To the moon or to Mars—we’ll see. Qatar said it is ready to take everyone to Mars; it promised. Qatar promised that the first spacecraft to reach Mars would be Qatar’s. It promised that within a hundred years there will be settlements there—especially for Jews they will build settlements there. Then there won’t be a problem; missiles won’t fly. It could be that we will need to live on Mars in another hundred years—someone who is one year old today will then be one hundred and one. People who were in the Holocaust at age fifteen—today, after more than eighty years—today they are ninety-five.

People still remember the entire Holocaust, all of it. Now we are once again in a Holocaust. There is no army, there is nothing. The moment it is led by secular people, there are no weapons, there is no army, there is nothing. America wants to help; everyone wants to help—but there is no mind. They brought the entire people of Israel into a new Holocaust; they brought the entire people of Israel. And now it depends only on the girls—that they should go with long dresses and also stockings under the dresses.

A girl is forbidden to go without stockings, and a man and a bochur is forbidden to go with tight pants—because it is forbidden to accentuate the body, because the body is the body of a snake. The body—whoever whispers into a girl’s ears, “Shorten the dress, raise the sleeve”—that is the snake whispering to her. Our body is the body of a snake. Now we read Parshas Bereishis: “garments of skin” (“kosnos or”)—the Midrash says this is the skin of the snake. The snake shed its skin; Hashem cut off its hands, cut off its legs: What did you do—you brought death to the world. If there had been no snake, people would live forever; they would finish Shas, finish Ketzos HaChoshen, finish Nesivos HaMishpat.Without Ketzos HaChoshen it is impossible to understand Shas; it is impossible to understand any sugya in the world—without Avnei Milu’im.

Everyone needs to make sure to learn a page of Gemara with his sister until the war ends—the stories, the aggados. Every brother has brothers and sisters. The girls already go to seminaries; by eight-thirty they must be in seminary; they must become teachers. Even a girl who understands nothing—in the end she will be a teacher. In the end she will understand; at eighteen she will be a teacher. Every girl needs to bring ten sons and ten daughters, and they need to support them—you can’t only live from donations. Every girl needs to be a seminary principal—if there are a thousand girls here, there will be a thousand seminaries. Each one needs to be a principal and a teacher, as it is written: “House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, but from Hashem is an understanding wife.”

So Rebbe Nachman brings in Torah 2, Part II, that a woman must be understanding—she must be educated, sharp and incisive. If a woman is foolish, the children will also come out foolish. If the woman is wise, the children will come out wise. Everything depends on the woman—ninety percent is from the woman. Ninety percent in a child is from the woman: nine months he is in her body, in her womb; after that, for two years she nurses him. Everything is from the woman. Whatever intelligence a child has is only through nursing—he has intelligence. If he only eats formula, his mind becomes weak; he will go to “Alei Siach,” to “Limud H’,” to “Sulam”—he will go there.Because he did not nurse mother’s milk; he nursed formula—so his brain is a formula brain. A child must nurse specifically from his mother for two years—two and a half even—and then his brain develops. This is all scientifically proven: children who nursed from their mother are smarter, more perceptive, sharper than children who only had formula. Among secular people, the mothers don’t have strength to nurse, so the children come out autistic. Every third child needs “Yonim” or autistic or “mongoloid,” because they don’t nurse them—and also they have no holiness; they are like animals, like beasts.

Now in Colombia, five thousand children were born without a brain at all—only the skull bone. There is no brain at all, nothing. Everything depends on holiness, as we learned in the Pele Yoetz. The Pele Yoetz says: if people do not conduct themselves with holiness, the children will come out foolish and stupid. But it all depends on holiness; it all depends on: “You are holy and Your Name is holy, and holy ones praise You every day, selah—Blessed are You, Hashem, the holy G-d.” We bless: “And you shall be holy to your G-d; I am Hashem your G-d Who took you out of the land of Egypt”—they went out through holiness. Because they all remained holy. It is written: “A man and his household came” (Shemos 1:1)—they would marry at age zero; as soon as a child was born they would already marry him off. “A man and his household came”—each one came with his household.A person marries to build a home; he does not marry for the yetzer hara. If he marries for the yetzer hara, the children will come out “mongoloid” and foolish and thieves. Rebbe Nachman says: if people marry for the yetzer hara, it is forbidden to call it a wedding at all. They marry to build a home—“a man and his household came.”

It is written in the Midrash HaGadol that Chetzron and Chamul—one was one year old and one was two years old—were married. Once they would already marry off children at age one. Like Lavan wrote letters to Rivkah: You should know—two sons were born to you; two daughters were born to me—so you should know: the older for the older and the younger for the younger. Leah was a three-year-old girl; they told Leah, “Mazal tov— a letter arrived from Lavan: you will receive his older son.” Leah began to cry. Leah knew who this “jewel” was (Esav)—what kind of “jewel” she would get. So every day she would go out to the crossroads (to pray). At age three: “And Leah’s eyes were tender” (Bereishis 29:17)—from all the crying she cried, that she should not fall to the lot of Esav.

So too among the Arabs until today there are clans, and as soon as a child is born they already marry him to his cousin. So Leah knew that now she was going to marry the biggest “jewel” on the entire earth—who is the Satan himself. So she poured down tears like water, cried twenty-four hours: Master of the World, save me; You can overturn my fate. My fate is to take such a “jewel”—I want to overturn the fate. So with the crying, with the tears that a girl cries, that a girl says Tehillim. We said that those who learn in seminary should say only one sefer out of the five, but someone who does not learn in seminary can say even three books of Tehillim—because then she overturns the entire decree.

Because there is a terrible decree to enter Gaza. It is an awful decree—because who knows who will come out alive from there at all? Hamas is waiting; it says, “Come on, come—we prepared chickens on a stick for you, popsicles.” Ice pops—we prepared everything for you… ice cream, Hamas is waiting like this with longing eyes. It is already praying in the mosques that the Jews should enter—so that when they come, we will wipe out ten thousand of them in one blow. If a girl goes exposed, ten thousand soldiers die. If a girl reveals her knee, you must know that they see her whole body, not only the knee—so at that moment another thousand soldiers die. So Hamas is already waiting with longing eyes—so, already, let them enter.

Meanwhile it was postponed for another two weeks, because there is no point in entering, and Hamas is waiting with missiles, with grenades, with explosive charges. They have the most advanced bombs. Everyone got drunk—it was the night of Simchas Torah. Instead of going to hakafos, everyone fulfilled “And you shall rejoice on your festival.” Everyone got drunk. Only there were a few from Shuvu Banim at the party, so they didn’t get drunk—so they saw that terrorists arrived. Whoever got drunk didn’t understand at all what was happening here.Three hundred were killed in one blow within five minutes. The terrorists didn’t even want to go to the kibbutzim anymore; they said: There are five thousand here—let’s wipe out all five thousand. Whoever ran, they caught him outside; they caught him at the junction, because they got lost on the roads—because there are no roads there. Re’im is in the heart of the Negev. There are no roads there, nothing; they got confused on the roads.

The terrorists were already waiting on all the roads, at all the junctions. They wiped out another three hundred, another three hundred—it reached one thousand five hundred. In Kissufim, terrorists didn’t arrive at all, because they already wiped out three hundred there—six hundred holy and pure children and young men, the holiest there are in the world—they are now all already in Gan Eden.

So the girls need to know that everything depends only on them. Rebbe Nachman says that if the girls are careful— in section 13—regarding immorality, then Rebbe Nachman says it all depends on the girls. If they take upon themselves to burn all immodest clothing—tight shirts—it is forbidden to accentuate the body; it is forbidden to accentuate the chest; it is forbidden—this is a Torah prohibition. It is a real prohibition; every second they transgress a Torah prohibition, and at every moment the children will come out autistic, will come out “mongoloid.”

Everything depends on the holiness that a girl takes upon herself—to subdue the snake within her. It is all the snake within her speaking to her; everyone has a snake within him. When a boy looks at a girl with a forbidden gaze, it is the snake looking; and when a girl looks at a boy with a forbidden gaze, two snakes unite.

The Megaleh Amukos, section 191, says: the moment two snakes connect, at that very moment people are killed. He explains that when a boy looks at a girl, G-d forbid, with a forbidden gaze—a gaze of the yetzer hara—or a girl at a boy, at that moment the snake in him and the snake in her connect. This is a snake with seven heads, with a million heads—and the snake swallows another soldier and another soldier and another soldier—one thousand soldiers, ten thousand soldiers.

So now everything depends only on the girls. It is possible to cancel this decree altogether—to cancel the decree to enter Gaza. Even if no soldier would die, it depends only on holiness, on purity—that tonight the girls burn all the dresses, and all the shirts, and all the tight sweaters.

And with Hashem’s help, each one will receive a new dress and a new sweater.

With Hashem’s help, we will merit the complete Geulah speedily in our days

Amen
