Those who didn't kneel to the Baal
THE 7,000 WHO DIDN'T KNEEL TO THE BAAL Excerpt of a shiur given over in Uman, the First Day of Rosh Hashana, after the evening prayers, by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, shlita. NOW WE FIND OURSELVES SPENDING TWO DAYS IN THE KADOSH KADOSHIM (HOLY OF HOLIES). Throughout the whole of Rosh Hashana, we are in the kadosh kadoshim. By Rabbenu, this is the holy of holies. Everyone who came, Rabbenu brought him. A person canât come unless Rabbenu brings him. 20,000 people came to Uman and here there are 4,000, but the ikker (main thing) is the gathering at the Kloiz. RABBENU IS TO BE FOUND AT THE KLOIZ. People donât know this. Rav Natan says that [on Rosh Hashana] Rabbenu is to be found in the Kloiz. Rabbenu is not to be found in the Tzion. Itâs possible to go to the Tzion, and to recite a Tikkun Haklali, and Psalms, and Likutey Tefillot - but Rabbenu is here. 90% of the people donât know this, because they didnât come to the Torah classes of Rabbi Levi Yitzhak [Bender], and they went against Rabbi Levi Yitzhak, and excommunicated him - but Rabbenu is to be found here. ==== THERE ARE 4,000 PEOPLE HERE. Itâs written in Kings that 7,000 remained, who didnât kneel to the Baâal. The Chesed LâAvraham [https://ravberland.com/the-7000-people-of-the-chesed-lavraham/] wrote in Part 22 that in the future, there will remain just 7,000 people in Eretz Yisrael. For everyone who comes here [to Uman], all his sins are forgiven. And the ikker is to not do [any more] from now on. The ikker is to stop with all the lusts and the idol worshipping and the âaltarsâ, because making altars is forbidden. We are meant to sacrifice korbanot to Hashem on one single altar. Itâs written in the Gemara in Kritot that even today, itâs still permitted to a non-Jew to sacrifice on an altar - behold, in Miami itâs possible to make an altar. > But the ikker is to stop from now, and not just to do whatever I feel like. NOW, ITâS WAS PARSHAT NITZAVIM, WE COME TO UMAN FOR NITZAVIM. Itâs written: âAnd it will be that when he hears the words of this imprecation, he will bless himself in his heart, saying, âPeace will be with me, though I walk as my heart sees fitâ - (Devarim 29:18). This is doing whatever I feel like. We have to stop doing whatever I feel like. So, we need to see to it that we go to the Ramad Valley. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_Ramad] IN EKRON, THERE WAS AVODA ZARA (IDOL WORSHIP), A [STATUE OF A] ZVUV (FLY) THAT WAS 20 METRES HIGH. And Hezkiyahu destroyed all of the idol worship. So Ravshaka said to him, Hashem wonât help you, because these are altars for Hashem, for David and Shlomo didnât destroy them, and neither did Jehosaphat, and neither did Asa. They averted their eyes, so how do you dare?! So, Hashem wonât help you. You are destroying the altars of Hashem. And so, Hezkiyahu went to sleep. What is this, to go to sleep? He made his Seder Night, and so the Angel of Hashem departed, this is the Redeeming Angel, and struck the camp of Ashur, 180,000 [died). And this was on Seder night. > Everything happened on Seder night. Translated from Shivivei Or, #112 ==== https://ravberland.com/first-pictures-of-rabbi-berland-in-uman-5780/
