For Whom Did the Sun Stand Still at the Funeral? • The Daily Lesson from Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Below is a summary of the topics from the daily lesson as delivered by our teacher Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – yesterday after the Maariv prayer on Thursday night, the eve of the 15th of Kislev 5786, Parshat Vayishlach:

1. Now is the yahrzeit of Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi. He passed away in Tzippori and it took sixty hours until they brought him to Beit She'arim, and the sun stood still.
2. Everyone will travel by buses after the prayer now at 23:00, they will arrive there and recite seven Tikkun HaKlali.
3. Women have intelligence a billion times more than men. Because why is it mentioned that Devorah passed away if not to tell that Rivka passed away? Because her passing was concealed, and she passed away at the age of 133.
4. Because for Dinah, an entire city was killed. And for a young woman, an entire tribe was killed, as hinted in the verse about Binyamin "Ben Oni."
5. Every man should study with his wife the laws of movable property, section five.
6. In ten more minutes, buses will depart for Beit She'arim and return at 3:00.
