"On Purim, Everyone Can Merit to be the High Priest" • 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 (may he live long and good days) - yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Thursday, Parshas Vayikra, the night of the 12th of Adar II:
"So, on Purim, everyone can merit to be the Kohen Gadol (High Priest). It wasn't for nothing that Achashverosh wore the garments of the Kohen Gadol. Because he had a desire to convert at that moment, so he wore the garments of the Kohen Gadol. Because Purim means every woman can be the Kohen Gadol, like Yael, in whom Rabbi Akiva was impregnated (his soul entered her as an 'ibbur'), and she extracted the soul of Rabbi Akiva from Sisera. She merited that Rabbi Akiva was impregnated in her; she broke her 'Xiaomi' (smartphone).
'And He called to Moshe' (Vayikra 1:1) – [it is brought in the book] Megaleh Amukos [section] 73, that the [small Aleph in the word Vayikra] has the Gematria (numerical value) of Rabbi Akiva. 'He has declared to His people the power of His works, to give them the heritage of the nations' (Psalms 111:6) – says the 'Or L'Meir,' the grandson of the Bnei Yissaschar, Rabbi Meir. That 'the power of His works He declared to His people to give them the heritage of the nations' hints to [the year] 5784 (2024), when the Third Temple will be built. For this Purim, the Third Temple is being built now. And every woman needs to be blessed with children (lehipaked); every woman can be the Kohen Gadol, just as Yael was transformed into Eli [the High Priest]. The moment the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple) is built, everyone will have the merit to be the Kohen Gadol, like Kimchis, whose seven children were all High Priests."
