Below is the full lesson delivered by The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, last night—Tuesday night, the eve of the 27th of Av, after the Ma’ariv prayer; to watch, read, and listen:

Then Miriam the prophetess heard the bitter news that her brother was going to die. They told her, “This is the end. This is called a deadline. There’s nothing to do—your brother is (supposed to be) liable to die.” So she immediately traveled to Uman—first thing—even if there was a war, she traveled to Uman. She organized another hundred women, a hundred buses, and two airplanes. And she lay down on the tziyun, and a Heavenly voice came forth: “He will live another thirty-nine years.” Even though he was supposed to die at the age of eighty-one, he merited to live until the age of one hundred and twenty—and Yocheved lived until the age of two hundred and fifty. The Ramban brings, in Parshas Vayigash, chapter 46 verse 15, the calculation of Yocheved’s life—one hundred and thirty until Moshe was born, and another one hundred and twenty, and Moshe even lived long enough to comfort her. Because she was the most broken-hearted woman in the world: three of her children passed away, one after the other. Such a tragedy had never occurred since the creation of the world—three passed away from her, three sweet children: Miriam first, Aharon second, and Moshe the third—each one passed away [in that same year], one after the other. “And I cut off the three shepherds in one month” (Zechariah 11:8)—within a year, three children passed away. It is a tragedy so great that it is impossible to recover from it. And who comforted her? Moshe himself—Moshe Rabbeinu comforted her. He said to her: you are the greatest woman in the world.

The lesson at 1:13:44

Because she gave over her life [for the existence and continuation of the Jewish people, at the time of Pharaoh’s decree, “Every son that is born…”]. For Pharaoh came every day to kill her; Pharaoh sent soldiers every day to kill her—every single day. It is written in Midrash HaGadol, “And He made for them houses” (Shemos 1:21)—that she would turn into walls, into decorations, into candelabras, into menorahs. Every day, for eighty years, she would turn into something else: once into benches, once into chairs, once into tables. Every day he did not find her; he did not know where she had disappeared to. And together with Miriam, they would transform. For Miriam was a three-year-old child, and Yocheved was already one hundred and twenty. And she merited, together with Miriam—“And He made for her houses”—that Moshiach will come forth from Miriam: Moshiach ben David. And Yehudah comes forth from Miriam—this is Moshiach ben David, who will be revealed speedily in our days, Amen.
