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 Monday night, the 12th of Kislev 5786, Parshat Vayishlach:
1. Today is the yahrzeit of the Bat Ayin, everyone should study the Bat Ayin.
2. And each person should study with his wife for ten minutes from Likutei Halachot, Hilchot Nezikei Shecheinim A'.
3. The entire secret one needs to know is how to sleep as the Rebbe says.
4. The Bat Ayin says in Parshat Balak "His kingdom will be exalted" meaning the kingdom will be lost.
5. It is written in Gittin 66 that King Yannai conquered sixty cities in the Transjordan and then fell into pride and killed all the Sanhedrin. Because Elazar ben Poira told him that the sages had banned him. Then Queen Shlomtzion hid Shimon ben Shetach.
6. So King Yannai asked at the feast who knows how to recite the Grace After Meals. Queen Shlomtzion said that Shimon ben Shetach is present but that he should not be killed, and he promised, then Shimon ben Shetach said "Blessed is He who allowed Yannai and his friends to eat."
7. So this is what we learn from the Bat Ayin that "His kingdom will be exalted" means that he will lose the kingdom. Because if a person thinks he is the king, he falls into pride and then he loses everything.
