Whoever Is Connected to the Tzaddik Lives Forever
The Daily Strengthening from the Holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

The Daily Chizuk from our teacher, the great tzaddik Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a – "A Green Line that Renews the Months"
Tuesday, 8 Sivan 5782 – "How can one say about Esther that she was 'greenish' (yarkraket)?" These are his holy words:
Here we will learn what the Green Line is.
Esther was the most unattractive woman in the world. How is that possible? After all, it is written, "And the king loved Esther more than all the women... more than all the virgins" (Megillat Esther 2:17). Exactly the opposite; such beauty had not existed since the creation of the world, more than Vashti!
So how can one say about Esther that she was 'greenish'?
So he says that 'greenish' refers to, "And he armed (vayarek) his trained men" (Genesis 14:14). What is this, "And he armed his trained men"? It is the Green Line that surrounds the entire world! The tzaddik is the Green Line!
What do we say in the Siddur? What do we sing?
"Bar Yochai, in the Holy of Holies, a Green Line that renews the months" (Piyut Bar Yochai - R' Shimon Lavi).
The tzaddik is called the Green Line! What is 'greenish'? It is the Green Line!
Here he explains what the Green Line is; for several pages he just explains what the Green Line is, all the combinations and the entire Chariot – a line that surrounds the entire world, the Holy Temple, the house, the world.
A person lives forever; whoever is connected to the Green Line lives forever; the living one lives forever.
The stones of emptiness (bohu) and the stones of chaos (tohu), the Green Line surrounds all four worlds, the four camps of the Shechinah.
The Green Line is the line with which one lives forever; whoever connects to the Green Line can live forever. "Who can bring a pure thing out of an impure one?" (Job 14:4) that they are not pure.
And therefore we eat (at the Seder night) the karpas, we begin with the Green Line; the vegetables are the Green Line, they are drawn from the Green Line.
