“The Wise Among Women, Each Builds Her House

A SUMMARY OF THE DAILY SHIUR GIVEN BY MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A ON TUESDAY, THE NIGHT OF 29 TEVET, PARASHAT BO, AFTER MAARIV:

So the Baal HaTurim said that no one would enter the Land of Israel.  Not you – only Yehoshua and Caleb.  I didn’t write this, I didn’t say this.  From today, everyone enters, but Pharaoh said only Yehoshua and Caleb.  You don’t learn Baal HaTurim?  He permitted them to enter.  What does he care that they enter?

Korach said, “Gouge our eyes out; who decided on another forty years?”  Korach said that all of Moshe’s tricks are illusions.  Korach’s wife brought about his downfall, but the wife of On ben Pelet saved him.  She bought him a bottle of champagne [to put him to sleep].  “The wise among women, each builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her hands” – this is the wife of Korach.  She was right, because Moshe removed everyone’s peot since they had the law of a metzora, because they didn’t protest during the sin of the Golden Calf.  Then, they should have started a civil war.  Later on, a civil war began, terrible battles.  Therefore, Binyamin is lacking six families, and five families are missing from the Levites.  The girls saved the situation.  They didn’t give their nose rings.  Every man tore nose rings from his sister, his wife [to contribute to the Golden Calf].  The boys have the contamination of the serpent.  Therefore, they throw stones.  Rabbi David Oppenheimer ruled that girls don’t have the contamination of the serpent.  Tomorrow, they are returning another seven hostages.    Agam Berger said that she doesn’t desecrate the Shabbat, so she is being released on Thursday.  So seventy hostages remain.  So every girl should open a seminary.  Know mathematics.  She can open a seminary in Be’eri, in Kfar Aza, in Mefalsim -- there, he didn’t agree to turn in his bullets, so he killed fifteen and they all fled.  They’re Amalekim mamash.  They could conquer Gaza in a single day, but they want soldiers to be killed.  Nearly a thousand soldiers died, all for nothing.  What’s the problem with conquering Gaza in one day.  [Instead] they go house to house, and all the houses are booby-trapped.  So every day, five young men are killed, but this stopped in the merit of the girls.  Every girl should say Tehilim until Chatzot.  Then say Tikkun Chatzot.  The boys will learn Gemara, and we will merit to a complete redemption, speedily in our days, Amen!
