"A Woman Can Manage to Both Pray at the Kotel and Send Her Child to School on

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Thursday, Parshas Mishpatim, the night of the 30th of Shevat, the first day of Rosh Chodesh Adar I:

"There are three seriously wounded people, without hands or legs, in the city of Kiryat Shmona. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant promises everyone they will return to the settlements—to Hanita, Shlomi, Kiryat Shmona. He is responsible for everyone; there is nothing to fear, and he is responsible for ensuring no more missiles fall. And all of this is because not all the girls have lengthened their skirts yet, and they haven't broken their Xiaomi (smartphones) yet. Devorah the Prophetess broke her Xiaomi, and so she merited a pillar of fire, torches of fire, as Devorah the Prophetess is called 'Eshet Lapidot' (Woman of Torches).

Every girl who breaks her Xiaomi will merit torches of fire to fly through the air, like the women of Tzipori who flew through the air. Like Serach bat Asher, who was a prophetess. In every generation, there were six hundred thousand prophetesses—throughout the entire First Temple period, all the days of the Judges, the entire time of the Tabernacle in Shiloh. For three hundred and thirty-nine years the Tabernacle stood in Shiloh, four hundred and ten years for the First Temple, and four hundred and twenty years for the Second Temple. They would all fly through the air, both in the First Temple and the Second Temple periods, out of their intense passion to pray Mincha (afternoon prayer), Maariv (evening prayer), and Shacharis (morning prayer). They would manage to send their children to the cheder (Torah school) and also to pray. A woman can manage everything, including praying—at six-thirty it is already Netz (sunrise), soon it will be six-twenty-five. She can manage it all, finishing the prayer by six-thirty, coming home before seven, and by eight o'clock, sending the children to the cheders. And all this with the Tikkun HaKlali (The General Rectification) in hand; let everyone say the Tikkun HaKlali. Then we will merit the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!"
