We Must Seal the Breach
The Daily Strengthening from the Holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Wednesday, 27 Tammuz 5785 – "One must seal the breach," these are his holy words:
We are now after Pesach, after the splitting of the Sea of Reeds—this is called a closed Mem (מ).
Because there is a closed Mem and an open Mem; the closed Mem is "Of the increase" (לְמַרְבֵּה) — "Of the increase of government and of peace there is no end" (Isaiah 9:6).
An open Mem is, "They are broken down in the walls of Jerusalem, which are broken down" (Nehemiah 2:13) — the walls are "broken down" (pruzim).
Now there are no walls, we have no walls; the wall that exists in the Old City is not a wall, everything is breached. Therefore, one must seal the breached Mem.
Because the Mem that is breached is an open Mem, so the moment we seal the breached Mem, the Mem of "Of the increase" (לְמַרְבֵּה) will open.
This is the 'Bereshit' (In the beginning), that which Elijah the Prophet says, that it was written 'Merashit' (from the beginning) and Hashem turned the Mem into a Bet, He opened the Mem.
"For the entire work is to open the closed Mem, and this is through the women who did not agree in any way to the decree of Pharaoh.
They prayed for 9 months, and those who did not pray had their child placed in the wall, but those who prayed, angels arrived (to save them).
The commando (the Egyptians) laid in wait for every woman; they placed four-year-old children at every entrance (to spy on when they would give birth). The moment a woman gave birth, she immediately let out a cry; it is impossible without a cry. The moment she let out a cry, the children immediately called the commando.
The commando ran to snatch the little baby, but the angels preceded them; the angels immediately told the women, 'Run quickly!' All the angels arrived, helped the righteous women, and that is how Israel left Egypt."
