When People Go with the Tzaddik, No One Dies â The Words of Rabbi Eliezer Berland Shlitâa
THE PARTING OF THE RED SEA WAS NOT MERELY THE SPLITTING OF WATER INTO TWO â THIS WAS A MOMENT THAT THE WHOLE WORLD ORDER CHANGED! MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLITâA TALKS ABOUT THE DEPTH OF THE MIRACLE, THE SECRET OF THE TWELVE PATHS, AND THE CONNECTION BETWEEN PHARAOHâS HEART AND THE POWER OF WALKING WITH THE TZADDIK. THIS AMAZING SHIUR WAS GIVEN IN IYAR 5779 (2019). HERE ARE HIS HOLY WORDS: When the Red Sea split, everything split with it â the water in a cup. Now is such a great night. Hashem arranged for there to be twelve paths with fruits and vegetables, and every tribe saw one another. For each tribe was concerned about what would happen to one another; they wanted to know that everyone crossed the sea safely. When people go with the Tzaddik, no one dies. Therefore, it is written about Zevulun, âZevulun is a people that risked its life to the deathâ (Shoftim 5:18). 50,000 from the tribe of Zevulun went out to war without a heartâthey donât have a heart at all. A person comes to the world; he doesnât need any heart. He only needs to go after the Tzaddik. If he goes after the Tzaddik, he doesnât need a heart at all. Because the Tzaddik is all heart, whereas about Pharaoh, it says, âHashem said to Moshe, âPharaohâs heart is stubborn (kaved, lit. heavy); he refuses to send the peopleââ (Shemot 7:14). We interpret this to mean that his heart turned into a stone, his heart turned into a liver (kaved). The liver is entirely desires, all the bad character traits. The liver is angry. It is forbidden for a person to ever become angry, even if they took all his silver and gold. In the Red Sea, there are still 598 golden chariots buried which Moshe sank. They found two amongst the 600 and they are in a museum in Cairo, but another 598 remained. However, Devorah sank 900 chariots, not just 600.
