"The Trial of This Generation is Harder Than the Generation of the Flood!" • 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, Sunday, Parshas Terumah, the night of the 3rd of Adar I:
"So every day there are a hundred killed. [On the city of] Kiryat Shmona, thirty missiles [were fired] on Thursday night – Friday eve, on Shabbos another ten missiles, on the center of Kiryat Shmona. People have nowhere to live, they wander the streets, sleeping under trees. Every day there are a hundred killed. Everyone must vote Aguda (Agudat Yisrael party), only Aguda will fight, the only one. Because all [the others] do not keep Shabbos, and do not fast on Yom Kippur, and eat chametz (leavened bread) on Pesach (Passover). Like Nitzan Horowitz said, 'a kosher person with peyos (sidelocks) and a beard, the most righteous in the world,' only he said to bring chametz into all the hospitals, the managers didn't agree. They said give us ten days, he gave ten days. Baruch Hashem (thank G-d) he is waiting until today. A truly righteous man, he only wants the truth. He wants them to vote for him... And all the girls should wear [skirts] down to the ankle, not just ba'alos teshuvah (women who have returned to faith). Also those who grew up in Meah Shearim, in Bnei Brak. They must wear [skirts] down to the ankle. And then the daily killings will stop. Yoav Gallant wrote that missiles will no longer fly, he said you can already return to your homes. But there are no more homes, there is nowhere to return to. So he said he will build houses, he will make houses out of paper, he will make houses from... he will arrange it on Mars... Qatar announced that with Hashem's help they are about to establish colonies on Mars, whoever doesn't have a home will be able to live on Mars, it's much closer. It's on the way to Uman. So there are many possibilities to live on Mars, on the moon. There are already contracting companies, today they sell a dunam (quarter-acre) on the moon for a hundred dollars. Whoever wants to buy a dunam cheap, later it will cost a million dollars – a dunam, now it's a hundred dollars. Whoever wants to work in real estate should buy on the moon. In any case, we are talking about the fact that every day soldiers are being killed, houses [destroyed], a hundred and fifty thousand evacuees. In Gaza there are one million four hundred [thousand, displaced Gazans]. Poor things, people who have no home, we need to worry about them, we need to travel to Gaza to bring them food. Everyone needs to worry about the other. This is called humanitarian – humanitarian. Because they are called 'innocent' 'uninvolved'. But the hundred and thirty-six people who were kidnapped, thirty-one have already passed away, so they are called involved, they are called terrorists. Like Biden said that 'I met with Mitterrand' [former President of France], Mitterrand passed away twenty-six years ago, he merited 'Techiyas HaMeisim' (resurrection of the dead). So Biden, they asked him questions, so he is already senile, so he mixes up all the names. Instead of saying Macron he said Mitterrand. Merkel also, she hasn't been the leader in Germany for twenty-six years. He also met with her, he discussed with her what to do with these Jews, these wicked ones. Who break in, who are entering Gaza now. Now they want to enter Rafah. So everyone needs to know to break their Xiaomi (smartphone), every girl. Xiaomi is terrible abominations that haven't existed since the creation of the world, even in the Generation of the Flood there weren't such abominations. The trial of this generation is harder than the Generation of the Flood! Everyone who stands in the trials, breaks the Xiaomi, [and every girl who] goes with a long dress, will merit the Amuda DeNura (pillar of fire), she will merit flames of fire. Lapidos [as said about the prophetess Deborah] a woman of flames. Every woman used to fly in the air, every woman used to fly in the air, in the First Temple and the Second Temple. Everyone would fly in the air from the intensity of the longing to pray at the Kotel (Western Wall). At the very least one prayer at the Kotel every day, going to the Kotel is twenty minutes. Soon it will be Ramadan, in Adar II Ramadan starts. They will have to go... I don't know if the police will allow going to the Kotel at all. Because the police are against the Kotel in general, they want to uproot the Kotel. Ben-Gurion wanted to knock down the whole Kotel, he had such a plan. Only Teddy [Kollek] loves antiques, he said this is antiques, this is archaeology. So in the merit of Teddy they didn't destroy the Kotel. So if we still have the Kotel, we need to bless [Hashem] for it every day. Every girl needs to go for one hour a day to the Kotel, and Kever Rachel (Rachel's Tomb) once a week on Thursday night, and Hebron – the Tombs of the Patriarchs once a month. Every girl needs to visit the graves of the tzaddikim (righteous ones), we are here in Jerusalem, we have Meron which is also close. The moment you reach Motza, it's considered as if you reached Meron. Our community (Anash) always said, 'we reached Motza, we are in Meron.' If a person traveled and reached Motza, it's already considered as if he reached Meron. So every girl needs to travel to Meron at least once a year, Hebron once a month, Kever Rachel on Thursday night, and to the Kotel every day. And then we will merit the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!"
