Am Yisrael Can Conquer the World in One Day! – Daily Shiur by Rabbi Eliezer Berland Shlit”a

HERE IS A SUMMARY FROM THE DAILY SHIUR OF MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A, GIVEN ON THURSDAY, THE NIGHT OF 8 TAMMUZ, PARASHAT CHUKAT, AFTER MAARIV: It is forbidden to speak during the repetition of the Amidah and during Kaddish. They’re getting ready to drop two atomic bombs, but instead, they’ll distribute two candies. The girls were up all night saying five books of Tehillim. In their merit, Khamenei doesn’t have atom bombs and missiles. There are centrifuges and they announced they’re going to build a new reactor, and they need to reduce the isotope number of the uranium from 238 to 235.  Putin said he’s not helping because the ones who were killed were Russians—all those who were killed were Jews married to Russian women. China is stingy—it’ll take them two years to give Iran an atomic bomb. Right now, Khamenei is hiding in a bunker. Trump said he knows where he is. Korah is underground—he’ll reveal to us where he is. Channah said about Korah, “He lowers to the abyss and raises up”—in the future, he will be the Kohen Gadol in the Third Temple. He used to fly in the air. It’s written that the miracle at the Arnon River was greater than the splitting of the Red Sea—because splitting the sea is a miracle, but moving two giant mountains is an even greater miracle. If peace is made with Syria, we’ll be able to drive to Uman by car. All the girls should say Tehillim, and they should study on Wednesday and Thursday evenings that Korah used to fly through the air—and they should say Tikkun Chatzot. Right now, chatzot (halachic midnight) is at 2:10. Next Shabbat, it moves by two minutes. Baladan ben Baladan didn’t understand who moved the sun. They told him it was the Jews. The whole matter of metals involves changing protons. Rabbeinu (Rebbe Nachman) knew how to do this. Chovot HaLevavot says there’s no such thing. But Madame Curie, who discovered radium, said it’s possible to transform one metal into another—lead, iron, even copper into gold. A girl can learn in two seconds what it takes a hundred years to learn. All the missiles fall away along the way. Putin said he’s not willing to mess with the Jews—he’s not sending anything to Iran anymore. The girls should wake up by 8:30 and go to seminary. By the 14th (of Tammuz), the seminaries end. Every girl needs to know all the material. There are four more days of tests. The boys will leave on the 5th of Av and return by the 1st of Elul. The Chazon Ish says that during bein hazmanim (yeshivah break), one can learn double. The Gemara in Beitzah says: Bold among animals, the dog; among birds, the eagle; among the nations, Israel.” Am Yisrael can conquer the world in one day. David wanted to conquer Rome, but afterward Rechavam and Menashe, everyone worshipped idolatry. Through Tikkun Chatzot, we conquer the whole world. At 4:30, we say Hodu, and at 6:00 one can already go to sleep until 9:00. On Shabbat, we pray for four hours—this brings down shefa for the entire year. One must pray with kavanah (intention). Everyone should say 90 "Amens", four Kedushot, ten Kaddishes, and one hundred blessings every day. Everyone should learn on Thursday evening about Korah who flew in the air—and how they cut off his peyot, and all the Levi’im had their peyot cut off. Korah’s wife was very angry. But they had their peyot cut off because they didn’t protest the Golden Calf, as it says in the Gemara in Sanhedrin, Perek Chelek. Now there are eight hours until sunrise—you can finish ten pages of Perek Chelek. Korah’s wife was a zealot and incited all of Am Yisrael to rebel against Moshe Rabbeinu. This is “A foolish woman tears down her house with her own hands.” And “The wise among women builds her house”—that was the wife of On ben Pelet, who was willing to reveal a little of her hair at the entrance of the tent so that everyone would run away from there, and that’s how she saved On ben Pelet. Now they want to throw an atom bomb. I asked Yusuf in prison: “Why do they want to kill you?” He explained that they’re Shi’ites, and here they are Sunnis—so they don’t mind throwing an atom bomb here. But by the time it gets here—it will all turn into candy!
