The Secret of the Month of “Marcheshvan”

BELOW IS A SUMMARY OF THE TOPICS FROM THE DAILY SHIUR GIVEN BY MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A ON TUESDAY, THE NIGHT OF 30 TISHREI – ROSH CHODESH MARCHESHVAN 5786, PARASHAT NOACH, AFTER MAARIV:

1. Every month of Cheshvan was floods [mabulim], until King Shlomo finished building the Temple in the month of “Bul” [Hebrew for “Cheshvan”].
2. We don’t say Mar Cheshvan. We say Marach Shon.  Marach is month, Shon is the eighth [e.g. the “eighth month” from Nisan], as is brought in Melachim.  Marcheshvan is also Sameach Ron – the month of joy.
3. The month of Cheshvan is also the month of the sign of Akrav [Scorpio]. Rechavam said, “I will give you scorpions.”  But who gives scorpions so that people will choose him?  Rather, people want discipline!
4. From the beginning of the “end of the war,” two soldiers were killed. Then Trump said: Accept it with love.  Why are you killing 67 “innocent” Palestinians…
5. You need to learn Likutey Halachot – Milah 4, that every woman is like Queen Esther.
6. The Rabbanit forced me to learn Sippurey Maasiyot. Then I read that it’s possible to learn all the wisdoms in the world in one second, and that it’s possible to turn iron into copper and copper into gold.
7. The month of Cheshvan came with complaints: Why wasn’t the Temple built in the month in which it was completed? For every month has an event – in Tishrei, there are the yahrzeits of all the Patriarchs.  Therefore, it was said to it: One must understand how we arrive at the calculation of ten handbreadths as the height of the sukkah, and how this is derived from the cherubs.
8. Tojo, the president of Japan, said: I am sending a thousand kamikazes. That is how I will win.  Until they dropped two bombs on them.  Then on the yahrzeit of Rabbi Elazar bar Rabbi Shimon there was the surrender agreement.
9. Tonight at 1:33 and 8 chalakim will be the molad (new moon). Everyone should say the Tikkun HaKlali then.
