The Secret of "There is No Sitting in the Courtyard Except for Kings of the House of David" -- Daily Ma'amar
THE DAILY MA'AMAR OF OUR REBBE RAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT"A, COURTESY OF THE "HASHEM HU HAELOKIM" LEAFLET: For after Binyanim received the murderous blows from all ten brothers at the time of the revelation of the goblet, and the brothers said that if the goblet is revealed in the sack of one of the brothers, that all the brothers would be slaves, and that anyone in whose sack the goblet is found would die, and then Binyamin received the most cruel blows between his shoulders, as it is written "And He rests between his shoulders" (Devarim 33:12). And after 210 years, the Children of Israel merited to the splitting of the Red Sea. Rabbi Meir said: The Tribes became very angry that Binyanim jumped first when he was born last, and then they began to throw rocks at him, every rock 3 tons, and many from the tribe of Binyamin were injured and harmed. But Binyamin did not relent, and continued to walk first, until the water reached his nose, and then he screamed, "The waters have reached until the soul; I am sunk in the mire of the shadowy depths." Then there was a miracle and the sea split. However, because Binyamin accepted all the rocks with awesome joy, he merited to half of the Temple, because he lacked a few more rocks in order to receive the whole Temple, and only received until the altar. But the remaining chambers, the women's courtyard, the Heil, and the Temple Mount -- everything remained with Yehudah, that he is Malchut [Kingship] that is in Malchut, and from the altar and downwards, that this is opposite the eastern base [of the altar?] and the southern base, everything belongs to Yehudah, that the is Malchut that is in Malchut. But the altar itself, and the whole building, the portico, the sanctuary, and the Holy of Holies, everything belongs to Binyamin, that he is Yesod [Foundation] that is in Malchut. And therefore, being that the courtyard along with the women's courtyard primarily belong to the tribe of Yehudah, from which is the kingship of the House of David, therefore, it is a law given to Moshe at Sinai that there is no sitting in the courtyard except for kings of the House of David alone. And this is the secret of "And Shlomo sat on the throne of Hashem" (I Divrei HaYamim 29:23), for Malchut that is in Malchut in the world of Atzilut (Emanation -- the highest of the four supernal worlds) descends to the world of Beriyah (Creation) and becomes the top of the world of Beriyah, that this is the secret of the portico, the sanctuary, and the Holy of Holies. And therefore, all of the land of Israel is called the "land of Yehudah," which is Malchut that is in Malchut, and from which is the kingship of the House of David, that only they have permission to sit in the courtyard. And Yosef, who is the male aspect of Yesod, received Malchut in Shiloh for 369 years, and if he had merited to complete his kingship for another year, it would have been 370 years -- he would have merited to draw the 370 myriad lights which were taken from Chava. And about this, it is said, "I had planted you from a choice vine, entirely of faithful seed; how, then, have you turned yourself into an inferior alien vine before Me" (Yirmiyahu 2:21), for if Yosef had merited to hold onto the Tabernacle for another year, all 370 myriad lights which had been taken from Chava would have been revealed -- so there would not have been any more exile, and the Jewish people would not have fallen into idolatry, and the Temple would not have been destroyed, and they would have merited to the revelation of Hashem through a clear looking glass -- that this is the revelation of the 370 myriad lights which were taken from Chava [Seden Binyan Shmuel -- Binyan 1].
