20 Sivan – The Day When the Temple was Supposed to be Rebuilt

HERE IS A SUMMARY FROM THE DAILY SHIUR THAT MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A GAVE OVER ON SUNDAY, THE NIGHT OF 20 SIVAN, PARASHAT SHELACH-LECHA:

Today is the 20th of Sivan, the date of the decrees of Tach and Tat (5408-9 - the Khmelnytsky massacres).  Rabbi Natan writes that the redemption was supposed to happen then.  It’s written in Likutey Halachot, Hilchot Chovel M’Chev’ro.  Everyone should learn this with his wife.  Now it is 9:00 pm.  At 2:00, it’s Chatzot, and everyone should learn Zohar 139 and know all the stories of what happened in Tach and Tat (1648-9), how Rabbi Michel of Nemirov fled to the cemetery and was murdered there.  All this must be read.  From now until 5:00 am is eight hours – one should study everything.   Tehillim takes two hours.

Tomorrow, there are no Chedarim or seminaries.  Every girl should finish Tikkun Chatzot.  1 Tammuz falls on a Friday.  Rabbi Natan explains that the Temple was supposed come down.

The decrees continued until 5415.  The “Shaar Ephraim” fled with his son-in-law.  They fled until Budapest.  We were there at the Danube and said Tashlich.  There, during the Holocaust, Jew were murdered on the riverbank.  So there are two cities, with the river in the middle, and they joined them together into one city.[1]

Tonight, there will be another missile.  Tomorrow, five times.  Therefore, four books of Tehillim are necessary.  The girls should finish Tehillim, and learn Yirmiahu and Yechezkel together.  This is 176 verses.

The boys should get up at 5:00.  Whoever is awake all night, this is the best -- at 5:30 is sunrise.  At six, they can go to sleep until nine.  They should finish Tehillim and the section of Meilah about Rabbi Elazar ben R’ Shimon, that he bore a grudge against someone and that person died.  Then Rabbi Elazar remembered that he had vowed not to kill anyone, so he revived him.

Also, Rabbi Yochanan argued while learning with Reish Lakish and then said to him that he [Reish Lakish] knows [the details of a halachah] because he was once the leader of the bandits.  Reish Lakish became disheartened and told him, “I don’t want for you to be my rabbi.”  Then Rabbi Yochanan became upset with him and he died, and he didn’t revive him.

Now, outside of Tisha B’Av, and Rosh Chodesh Tammuz, Av and Elul, there is the long Tikkun Chatzot, until the night of 9 Tishrei, when it’s Netzach.

The war will continue until they bring a 12-ton bomb to penetrate the bunker where the true bomb is.  So the bomb of the Americans is required, but Trump is Persian and doesn’t agree, because he is angry at Bibi for not entering Gaza on the 60th day.  So in another two weeks, they’ll already send a nuclear bomb, but whoever prays here will remain alive.  It’s possible to finish the war within a week, but you need the 12 ton (bomb) in the ground, because they have uranium.   They have two weeks left.  If they hadn’t bombed them, nothing would have remained already today.  In Bat Yam, there were twelve killed – 3 are missing.  So the girls should say Tehillim and afterwards learn Yirmiahu, Yeshaya, and Yechezkel together.  This is 176 verse.  Afterwards, they should say Tikkun Chatzot, and then may we merit to a complete redemption speedily in our days, Amen.
