Yahrzeit of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov - The Righteous Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Words of our teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, 18 Tishrei 5781, from Tzalmon, in honor of the holy Yahrtzeit of our Rebbe, Rebbe Nachman ben Simcha and Feiga, zya"a.

A person comes into the world for Uman. To know that our Rebbe is with us now; the Rebbe is alive and existing! Our Rebbe is the Adam Kadmon (Primordial Man) of the Adam Kadmon; he is from even before the creation of the world! A person comes to be included in the Adam Kadmon, in our Rebbe! Now, at the Hillula, our Rebbe is with us, making the entire Hillula for us; he is alive and is being 'mis'aber' (clothed) within us. He said to Yehuda bar Shilat, 'I will be clothed within you.' He is from before the creation of the world, the Adam Kadmon! He is the 'Bereshit,' he is the 'Nachalei Arnon,' the 50th Gate, Rebbe Nachman.

Shimshon the Hero struck the Philistines 'hip and thigh.' The first thing he did was catch 300 foxes, tying torches between their tails (one torch for every two foxes). He set fire to all the fields of the Philistines, 'from the standing grain to the harvested grain, and to the olive vineyards.'

Noach's dove brought a plucked olive leaf in its mouth from Gan Eden; this was the soul of Mashiach (and in the future, it will bring a crown for Mashiach from Gan Eden, because it was hidden from Noach and went to Gan Eden—the Rav discusses this in another lesson). A person comes to be a 'fresh olive tree' ('But I am like a fresh olive tree in the house of Hashem; I trust in the kindness of Hashem forever and ever' - Tehillim 52:10), and then it is possible to bring the soul of Mashiach. For all the joy of a wedding is that perhaps this couple will bring the soul of Mashiach... You buy holiday clothes, Shabbat clothes, going to greet Mashiach, and then everything is delayed, delayed by a hundred years. Exactly now, it is one hundred years, 5780, now is the coming of Mashiach.

Now our Rebbe is in the Sukkah.

'Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon; look from the top of Amana.'

Everyone must travel to Meron; tonight we travel to Meron, we must arrive by 4:00. 'For fire went out from Cheshbon, a flame from Sichon.' The tzaddik is fire; Devorah is fire, 'Eshet Lapidot' (woman of torches), fire of steel. From the day Devorah was born, she was fire.

'Shaul struck his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.' Shaul, the greatest tzaddik of all generations, went to die on the mountains of Gilboa. 'You and your sons will be with me.' Such a tzaddik had not existed since the creation of the world. Shmuel (Samuel) is the letters of 'Me-Shaul' (from Shaul); Shmuel was the soul of Shaul. Shmuel is equal to Moshe and Aharon. He fought first, 'Therefore the poets say, come to Cheshbon.' All the land of Edom, the river of Paran, Ma'aleh Adumim—this is the land of Edom. Bela and Beor, all the 'blu'im' (swallowed ones) are with them; Bela would swallow people alive, that is why they became the 'blu'im.' The entire Dead Sea region is the region of the 'blu'im'; it is forbidden to go off the road. Immerse in the sea with caution. Bela ben Beor swallowed everyone; he was Bilam himself. He swallowed everyone—a thousand were reincarnated in the students of Rebbe Akiva. They did not show respect to one another, because respect is an internal thing where a person appreciates and honors the other. A person lives from the respect given to him; this is for the soul of the person. One who honors his fellow creates a soul for him. If one does not honor the other, then there is no soul. A person comes into the world to honor the other; this is the purpose, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' If a person kills some gentile, in the end, he is reincarnated into his seed. Like Yoav regarding Uriah—he is liable in the Heavenly courts. Did he have one sin, to put someone on the front lines? It is permitted, but not with intent! With intent, it is called murder. One sin, the sin of Uriah the Hittite—in general, it is not a sin, for who will be on the front lines? Asael ran on the tops of the stalks of grain; if a person has no 'pegam habrit' (blemish of the covenant), he flies in the air.

Chukat, 'Nachalei Arnon.' Nachalei Arnon is 'Nun,' the Gate of the Nun, 'Strength and splendor in the house of our God,' the 50th Gate. What do I have to do with Arnon? I lived in Haifa, after that Bnei Brak, after that Jerusalem. A person comes into the world to be in the Nachalei Arnon! This is his purpose. The mountains of Gilad, the Nachal Arnon, the ancient river, the Kishon River.

Haman was truly miserable twice. Haman wanted to lift Mordechai higher and higher. On the night of the 15th, they fasted. A person must fast, he must not eat—it is all a lie! Only dance, do not eat! After that, immerse in the Nachalei Arnon, the Nachalei Arnon where I was, Nachal Arnon (Chapter 5, verse 48), Nachal Arnon, the whole parsha, Mount Zion, Hermon—who was there.

...To visit Saddam Hussein, in Ramadan there are feasts of chemical missiles. Everyone was in a deep sleep, and the explosions woke them up. They jumped into helicopters, crying because they were surrounded by dozens of Iraqi planes, jumping into the river, and within a second, they are in the Land.

Nachalei Arnon, a person comes into the world for Nachalei Arnon—this is the tzaddik! The Nachal Arnon is the tzaddik! (A flowing stream, source of wisdom). 'Ashad HaNechalim' (the pouring of the streams) is blood; it is not for nothing that they said the Jews want blood, red as blood.

...They walked in the Judean Desert for seven days, the water ran out... What is the meaning here? This is Elisha; we arrived exactly at the place, at the point! A thousand soldiers dying of thirst, maybe ten thousand. The King of Judea (of Israel), Yehoram son of Achav, asks Yehoshaphat the King (of Judea), 'Tell me, is there no prophet here?' They were in-laws; the sister of Yehoram was married to Yehoshaphat; they were brothers-in-law. 'What, are there no prophets here in the caves in the desert?' (And indeed, Elisha brought them salvation, and water arrived in the desert), upper pools, lower pools.

...'Donkey, two donkeys,' he entered with his body into Gan Eden. A donkey—all of man's work is to go from a donkey to a human! 'If the first ones were like angels, we are like humans; the first ones were humans, we are donkeys, and not like the donkey of Rebbe Pinchas ben Yair.'

Blood, the name 'Elohim' is judgment (Din). That is it, there is no 'Elohim,' only 'Havayah.' Elohim is the 'Nukba' (feminine/severity); there is only 'Duchra' (masculine/kindness)—the work of man is to go from Nukba to Duchra. Yael became Eli—the High Priest. A person comes to turn from Shushan to Shushan, the Shushan Gate, the Eastern Gate on the Temple Mount. Nikanor lay down on the door; they threw one door into the sea for him (because there was a storm). The doors of pure gold weighed several tons, three times more than iron. He lay down on the door and said, 'Throw me into the sea with the door as well' (and in the end, there was a miracle, the storm subsided, and they also found the second door that they had thrown, on land). Like Yonah, they lowered him to his waist, the sea stopped its raging; as soon as they threw him, a fish came and swallowed him.

...All the Corona is because of China; it is a bat, it is a snake, eyes of a snake, the soul of a snake. The Chinese have everything—zodiacs, months, years, year of the snake, dog, scorpion. They brought the Corona into the world! They did not reveal that they had Corona because they would have been shut down. It reached the whole world, 30 thousand dollars income tax, everyone traveling to China in November of last year, they should have already discovered that there was Corona there, and it would not have spread in the world. Syria, we are reaching our Rebbe, it is close, it is here, a few steps from here. A person comes into the world for Uman.

A person comes into the world for Uman. To know that our Rebbe is with us now; the Rebbe is alive and existing! Our Rebbe is the Adam Kadmon of the Adam Kadmon; he is from even before the creation of the world! A person comes to be included in the Adam Kadmon, in our Rebbe! Now, at the Hillula, our Rebbe is with us, making the entire Hillula for us; he is alive and is being 'mis'aber' within us. He said to Yehuda bar Shilat, 'I will be clothed within you.' He is from before the creation of the world, the Adam Kadmon! He is the 'Bereshit,' he is the 'Nachalei Arnon,' the 50th Gate, Rebbe Nachman.

Kiddushin 70a, Etrog—Etronga. Where is it written? Rebbe Yehuda asks, 'Etronga'—this is the secret. Kiddushin 70a, Etrog—Etronga, Etronga is the secret.
