Through the kindness of Hashem, our Rebbe, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit”a, returned from his hospitalization, and like all of his Avodat Hashem in holiness, with self-sacrifice and devotion, also this time immediately upon his arrival at home, the Rav went out to the Ma’ariv prayer with the community.
The Rav sang with the community both before and after Ma’ariv, and immediately afterwards gave over his holy words.
In the film below, the Ma’ariv prayer with niggunim (melodies) begins at 30 minutes.
The shiur begins at 57:35.
“This month will be for you the first month of the months of the year” (Shemot 12:2)
“The true Rosh Hashanah from the Torah is 1 Nisan, when the Rebbe was born. That the Rebbe was born, then this was the true Rosh Hashanah. The Rebbe includes all the generations from…
“’He brought his offering: one silver bowl, its weight a hundred and thirty [shekels]’ (Bamidbar 7:19), ‘ka’arah’ (bowl) is [numerical value] 770, ‘kesef’ (silver) is 160, equals 930, and another 130 years, of ‘its weight a hundred and thirty’ – to atone for the 130 years that sparks came out of Adam HaRishon in vain – from those sparks all the demons and [evil] spirits were created.”
Breslov Chasidim sacrifice themselves to reach Uman
“Now Putin took a very strong pill against cancer, and this is influencing him. In the midst of the war, 150 Breslovers traveled to Uman. Did they lose their minds?
“They already know that in Breslov, they do everything upside down. Travel on 1 Tishrei, and afterwards on 1 Nisan, on two Rosh Hashanahs. On 1 Tishrei all the souls were created, and on 1 Nisan all the bodies were created. Therefore, we bless the sun in Nisan – the law is like Rabbi Yehoshua [who says that the world was created in Nisan].”
In reading the parashah of the Nesi’im [the tribal princes] in Nisan we rectify the sparks of Adam HaRishon
“Now we are in Nisan and every day they brought ‘one silver bowl’ which is 770 plus 160 (silver) equals 930 [the numbers of years of Adam HaRishon’s life] to atone for all the years of Adam HaRishon and to rectify the 130 years of sparks from which all the wicked, all the Nazis, all the governments of scoffers were created – from the drops.
“Now we are already found…, everyone needs to bring a bull. Now the offering is already Zevulun’s.”
Only about Zevulun is it said “Rejoice,” because he did business dealings honestly
“Zevulun is the Holy Temple. Zevulun in the name of ‘Zevul’ (another name for the Temple). ‘To Zevulun, he said “rejoice Zevulun in your outings,”’ and only about Zevulun it says, ‘rejoice Zevulun,’ because he does business honestly. Doing business honestly is the greatest thing, to switch a bull with a cow is greater than learning about switching a bull with a cow. Or a bull with a donkey that they don’t know, because they don’t know when the donkey was born, or colt, or the baby donkey, or the calf. There is an argument whether it was born before or after the sale, because it was born in a barn, and therefore they don’t know when it was born.
“One who fulfills this is much higher, because he stands up in a test, he relents on the calf for the other. He fulfills the true Torah and brings the redemption.”
Before the redemption, we need to go through many pregnancies in order to remove the serpent
“Therefore, the Gaon of Vilna says: a serpent, for how much time is it pregnant and gives birth? (Bechorot 8b). The Gaon says, how much does one need to go through pregnancies, how much suffering, how many pregnancies – like a woman who gives birth needs to go through another and another pregnancy.
“Therefore a woman is called – a new song, ‘Then Moshe and the children of Israel sang this song (Shemot 15:1), like a woman gives birth, that each birth is new suffering. Every birth, they need to go through the process anew.
“We want that Mashiach already will be, want that already there will be [the War of] Gog and Magog, that there will be Mashiach. Rebbe Naftali Tzvi Horowitz of Ropshitz said that Mashiach will come only when they’re walking in blood until the knees. This was the Shoah, where they walked in blood until the knees – then they will merit to return to the Land of Israel.
“Then the Gaon said that everything will be through a natural course, and everyone will ascend to the Land of Israel, and we will merit to the complete redemption, speedily in our days, Amen.”
