We Merited, A New Lesson: Parshat Tzav from Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

"We are now in Parshat Tzav (Leviticus 8:23), the sixth aliyah, now we are doing teshuvah (repentance), "And he slaughtered it, and Moses took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot". They take the blood of the second ram and place it on the lobe of the right ear. And if you have a thumb and an ear lobe on the right, then Baruch Hashem, you have all three and you will be the High Priest. Aaron had four sons, two were burned afterwards, in total Moses did this on five, Aaron and his four sons."

"What is the significance of the lobe and the thumb? These are the signs that Jacob gave to Rachel, Rachel had five veils, Jacob never saw her face. Therefore, it was possible to switch her, she walked with five veils. One veil had yellow diamonds, one veil had red diamonds, bluish diamonds..., each veil was once studded with a hundred diamonds."

The Rav begins to sing the Song of the Breastplate (link to the song with lyrics at the end of the article) "Adam, Pitdah, Bareket."

"Rachel was surrounded by fire, all the matriarchs were surrounded by fire. Rachel did not reveal the signs to Leah, she only told her that at the chuppah one must touch the lobe, touch the thumb, this is a custom from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is a custom and every woman must know this custom, otherwise Jacob will not accept you. From the Gemara in Nedarim, we learn that the one betrothing must say 'You are betrothed to me,' if he does not say 'to me,' she is not betrothed, perhaps she is betrothed to the father, to the mother, but not to him, therefore he must say 'betrothed to me.'"

"Rachel was the Holy of Holies, Rachel was the Shechinah, "Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for there is a reward for your work" (Jeremiah 31:15), "for there is a reward for your work," the act is that she gave up everything, she gave Leah the signs. One must give up everything for the sake of a friend, for the sake of a brother, for the sake of another. Give up everything just so they will not be embarrassed.."

".., because Leah was also the Shechinah, from Leah comes Mashiach ben David, from Judah. From Rachel will come Mashiach ben Yosef. Yosef will come and blow the shofar, a long blast, a broken blast, a long blast, and then Chafzibah will come, because Chafzibah is the most important of all. It is written that Chafzibah will ascend to Mount Nebo, and there at the peak of the mountain is the grave of Moshe Rabbeinu, there is a giant rock. There Chafzibah will blow the shofar and the giant rock will split. Then she will see Moshe Rabbeinu who will study with her from sunset until morning, at dawn he will go with her to the Cave of Machpelah. There all the patriarchs will blow the shofar and at that moment all of Israel will leave their homes, their dwellings, and board ships."

"Then all the nations will see that millions from Israel are coming, everyone will arrive at the Bat Yam shore and the nations will see that the Jews are coming from all over the world. And so, Chafzibah will blow a long blast, a broken blast, a long blast, then Moshe will blow and then the patriarchs. All the Jews in the diaspora will leave their homes and businesses and board ships, arriving within a week from all corners of the world. Then the Arabs will see that Eretz Yisrael belongs only to the Jews, because today they have already reached 16 mandates, they have been brainwashed into thinking that Eretz Yisrael is only theirs. They say that Lapid and Gantz are right-wing for them, they already want to give everything to the Arabs. Just as Rachel gave Leah all the signs, they want to give everything to the Arabs."

"Because a Jew is all about giving and they do not know to whom to give, let's give to the Arab who wants to kill you, Nazis, the whole idea of the ovens was from the Mufti (Mohammed Amin al-Husseini, may his name be erased). The Mufti traveled to Berlin, met with Hitler, and told him to make ovens, in six years we will burn six million Jews, what's the problem. They wanted to eliminate the Jewish race, they thought they could eliminate the Jewish race. But, if it weren't for the people of Israel, Hashem would have destroyed the world, why does the world need to exist? The nations only eat and drink, they do not pray, they do not put on tefillin, why do we need them at all?"

Hashem wants only those who put on tefillin, only those who rise for Shacharit, then pray Mincha and Maariv, then there is Chatzot, then Rebbe Nachman, then they come to 'Shuvu Banim'."

"Everything we came to the world for is to pray to Hashem, only prayers. And this is the lobe, that they put the blood on the lobe of the right ear, that the High Priest must hear, like Rachel. Rachel heard everything, she was the Holy of Holies, she flew in the air, she knew the explicit Name. Like Rebecca who flew in the air, she flew from Haran to Mount Moriah, there she met Isaac. They lived in Jerusalem where 'Shuvu Banim' live today. Rebecca flew in the air, all the matriarchs flew in the air, once every child knew how to fly in the air, from Tzippori they flew in the air."

"The woman is more holy than the man, more innocent, more believing, all the women from Tzippori flew in the air, there were 5 million in Tzippori and a million women flew in the air. They prayed Shacharit as the sun rose at the Kotel and immediately flew in the air and returned to Tzippori. Because women, out of their innocence and emunah (faith), flew in the air.."

".. they flew to Jerusalem and returned to Tzippori, within two minutes the children were ready with sandwiches. This is how the children knew that the mothers were praying at the Kotel, at the Holy Temple, every mother prayed at the Holy Temple. They dreamed all day about how they would come to pray at the Holy Temple and they flew, from Holon, from Bat Yam they flew. From all corners of the land, they flew out of true longing to pray at the Holy Temple. Women can fly in the air, pray at sunrise, and return to prepare sandwiches for the children, within two minutes the children were downstairs washed and dressed. By the time the van came to pick them up, they had finished all the Psalms, there is no such thing, one must finish all the Psalms every day."

"A person comes to the world to finish the Psalms, that's why Hashem created him. Jacob every night finished the Psalms, he would go to the field, light a candle, and finish all the Psalms. All this we learn from the verse "And he slaughtered it, and Moses took some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right ear, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot" (Leviticus 8:23). After receiving the blood, they would literally fly in the air. Like in the desert, how did they walk in the desert? They did not walk on the ground, there was a cloud beneath them, they were so holy and pure that they were not allowed to step on the ground. They had a cloud of glory above them and below them and four more on the sides, and one in front that leveled the mountains and hills."

"It is written that there were snakes on the way, each snake 12 meters long, the snakes would bite them, as it is written in Parshat Chukat that they said about the manna that it is the spoiled bread that they eat and there is no exit. All this we learn in Parshat Tzav which has 91 verses, which is the unification of Havayah Adnut, that every child must see before his eyes the Havayah Adnut, to see Hashem eye to eye. A person comes to the world to see Hashem eye to eye."
