Subtitles: “Only through self-nullification to the tzaddik can one enter Eretz

A powerful lesson from our teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, 3rd of Shevat 5782

"So who and who are the ones going, for Pharaoh was the astrologer, the greatest wise man in the world; he saw from one end of the world to the other and he said, 'See that evil is before your faces.'"

"And that no one should enter the Land: 'No one will enter! I swear to you by the truth, Moses will not enter, no one will enter! Who will enter? Who and who are the ones going!'"

"'Mi' (who) = 50 + 've-mi' (and who) = 56, 'ha-holchim' (the ones going) = 116, exactly 216. 'Ben Nun' (son of Nun) and 'Kalev' (Caleb) = 216. I only see that these two will enter - because these two had true self-nullification before the tzaddik, and only one who has true self-nullification before the tzaddik could enter the Land of Israel."

And after the Ma'ariv prayer, our teacher Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a continued and said:

"So there are 8 hours to sleep; whoever can fly to Uman and return, that is best. Within two hours one arrives in Uman, at 12:00 AM to be there until 3:00 AM, at 5:00 AM back here."

"At 5:00 AM everyone must wake up and they will go with sacks of scorpions; this time it is very serious! We are going like Rechavam to 'Ma'aleh Akrabim' (Ascent of Scorpions), this is the southern border, 'And the border of the Amorite from the Ascent of Scorpions, from the rock and upward' (Judges 1:36)."

"It is written in Parashat Masei that the border of Israel is Akrabim, 'And the border shall turn for you from the south to the Ascent of Scorpions' (Numbers 34:4), after that it is already outside the Land. Kadesh Barnea is outside the Land, Har HaHar is Kadesh Barnea. Actually, in the western part, Atzmona, Chashmona, Atzmon, Tzalmon."

"And everyone must be here at 5:00 AM without exception, let no man be missing."
