"Every Woman Can Be a King's Daughter!" • The Daily Lesson from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Before you is the full daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, the Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – yesterday after the Ma'ariv (evening) prayer, Monday night, the eve of the 6th of Tishrei:

"In the Likutim (collected writings) of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak, the father of the King Mashiach (Messiah), it is written that the entire story of Sisera took place on Rosh Hashanah. And this is what Moshe (Moses) requested: 'You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your strong hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do according to Your deeds and according to Your mighty acts?' 'Your strong hand' refers to Sisera. Moshe wanted to subdue Sisera to become Barak ben Avinoam; therefore, Avinoam, who is the father of all the prophets—all prophecies are drawn from Barak ben Avinoam. He merited the Song of Devorah (Deborah), which is greater than the Song of the Sea (Shiras HaYam), because Devorah is a spark (nitzotz) of Moshe Rabbeinu. And she merited double that of Moshe Rabbeinu. For every daughter is a spark of Moshe Rabbeinu; every daughter who draws close to Shuvu Banim merits to be a spark of Moshe Rabbeinu, and her song is greater than the Song of the Sea. And therefore it is written, 'Blessed among women shall Yael be, among women in the tent shall she be blessed.' Yael is the 'Cause of all Causes' (Olas Kol HaOlos). Why is she called Yael? Because every woman is the 'Cause of all Causes'; she merits to be the 'Cause of all Causes.' She brought the Geulah (Redemption) to the People of Israel. For forty years, Devorah ruled over the People of Israel, because every woman can be a King's daughter. And the daughter of the Emperor, the wife of the Emperor who rules over the whole world [-] they are sent into exile. But the Emperor's wife is the one who rules; she is the one who rules over the whole world. The woman is the Sefirah of Keter (the Crown)—'A woman of valor is the crown of her husband.' Every woman from Shuvu Banim is the Sefirah of Keter; she merits the Crown. She rises from Malchus (Kingdom) to Keter. And therefore Yael merited 'Blessed among women shall Yael be.' 'Tevorach' (shall be blessed) is 622, plus 38 ('BaOhel' - in the tent), that is exactly 678, plus 622 is exactly 1100. 'Among women in the tent shall she be blessed'—'Minashim' (among women) is 440, so 478 plus 622 'Tevorach' is 1100. This is also Sarah and Rivka (Rebecca), also Rachel and Leah [which equals] 1806, plus 14 [the gematria of] David. Every woman who merits to draw close to Shuvu Banim, every woman who arrives—her song is the Song of the Sea, it is the song of David; she is a spark of David HaMelech (King David). Just as Yael merited to be a spark of David HaMelech, and thus she merited to subdue the entire Sitra Achra (the 'Other Side' / forces of evil). For every woman who merited to pray with the Rav on Rosh Hashanah will merit to subdue the entire Sitra Achra and bring the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!".
