Before you is a summary of the 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, Wednesday night, the 29th of Shevat, Parshas Terumah:

We read in the previous Torah portion, "And it shall be, when he cries out to Me, I will surely hear his cry... and your wives shall be widows and your children orphans." A woman must guard her husband so that he is not enticed by sin; a husband can be enticed in a second. A woman was created from a bone, so she is firm and stubborn in her faith; she is not easily enticed. She believes that the Tzaddik (righteous leader) is indeed the Tzaddik. For Korach claimed that he heard Moshe (Moses) would die and then Yehoshua (Joshua) would lead the people in, so he [Moshe/Hashem] decided to keep everyone in the desert for forty years. Then the wife of On ben Pelet [who saved him from Korach's rebellion] bought a bottle of champagne. He said, "I am sleeping, but what will be with my Tefillin (phylacteries)?" She told him, "It is better that you do not don Tefillin for one day, so that you may be able to don them for a hundred years [by staying alive]." A woman needs to give her husband [spiritual] drink so that he does not follow after those who spread evil reports. Because all the women refused to give their nose-rings [for the Golden Calf], so the men cut off half their ears [to take them]. Therefore, since tomorrow is Rosh Chodesh (the New Month), it is forbidden for women to do laundry or sew. On Friday, it is permitted to sew for the sake of tzniut (modesty). Today I heard a story about someone who had a stroke on Tu B'Shevat and was supposed to die. All his granddaughters tore up all their dresses that were not sufficiently modest, and in that merit, their grandfather lived for another ten years; he passed away on Tu B'Shevat exactly last week. Every girl who lengthens her skirt—her father and grandfather, they will all live. There are still thirty-three hostages in Gaza. Now they are releasing all the terrorists; here there will be caravans of terrorists. Everyone needs to learn with his wife Likutey Halachos (the seminal work of Reb Noson of Breslov), specifically "The Debt of Orphans" (Chov HaYesomim); this is the greatest teaching regarding Mordechai. Every woman wants her husband to tell her a Dvar Torah (Torah thought). Why is it called Megillas Esther (the Scroll of Esther), and why is the Scroll of Ruth called Ruth? Because Ruth left the palace and everything else, saying, "Even if I die, it doesn't matter to me—the main thing is that I will be a Jew! I don't care if they burn me." An ordinary Jew doesn't understand what it means to be a Jew...! They burned twenty-one kibbutzim—only those that did not keep the Shabbos (Sabbath). Everyone there had partners from the nations of the world; they erased the name "Jew" from all those kibbutzim. In Be'eri, one woman built a synagogue and she was not killed. In Ofakim, there was Rachel [Edom] who was not killed. In Netivot, the Baba Sali (Rabbi Yisrael Abuhatzeira zt"l) came out toward them [the terrorists] and they fled for their lives. There were such miracles, as it says, "As in the days of your coming out of Egypt, I will show you wonders." But unfortunately, fifteen hundred young men and women died. Everyone needs to learn with his wife about Esther and Mordechai, to understand why all the festivals will be nullified in the future except for Purim; it is written that it is even greater than Yom Kippur. The girls need to say Tehillim (Psalms) and study Megillas Esther—why Haman went in the morning and did not listen to his wife. The Torah promises that if you do not guard your husband, he will die, the child will be an orphan, and he will become secular. The first "Hamas-niks" [in terms of fierce zeal] were Jews—Shimon and Levi. There are many girls who married Hamas members; the High Court (Bagatz) encourages this. Let all the girls say Tehillim until Chatzos (midnight) and the boys study six pages of Gemara (Talmud), and we shall merit the Geulah (complete Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!
