"Trump Chose the Rambam's Method" • The Daily Lesson from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Before you is a summary from 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, Monday night, the 11th of Adar, Parshas Ki Sisa:

Now we are holding at the "cleft of the rock" (the place where Moshe saw Hashem's glory). It is written that if there were even one hole, the whole world would burn; this is only Moshe (Moses) and Eliyahu (Elijah), only one who fasts forty days and forty nights. Moshe fasted three times, and then Hashem revealed to him the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy. The Tzaddik (righteous person) is a pillar of fire. The Tzaddik merits 310 worlds (spiritual realms); "Yerek" (green/vegetable) is 310 worlds; two "Yerek" is Keter (the Crown/highest Sefirah); three "Yerek" is one silver bowl. "May my prayer be desired like the sacrifice of Nachshon"—Nachshon was the first who sacrificed, called on the 1st of Nissan. Today there are many yahrtzeits (anniversaries of passing) on the 11th of Adar: Today is the yahrtzeit of the Chida (Rabbi Chaim Yosef David Azulai) zt"l (of blessed memory); today is the Avnei Nezer (Rabbi Avrohom Bornsztain) zt"l—he knew the entire Shas (Talmud) by heart, forwards and backwards. And also the Rogatchover (Rabbi Yosef Rosen) zt"l. Everyone needs to be like the Rogatchover; the Rogatchover would finish the entire Shas every day. The whole reason a person becomes a Breslover is to be like the Rogatchover—to finish the Shas every day. In another three hours minus two minutes, it will be exactly Chatzos (midnight). All the girls should read Tehillim (Psalms) and after that say Tikkun Chatzos (the Midnight Lament) and wake up in the morning. Every girl will be a principal, she will open seminaries; instead of the girls being in Khan Yunis, they will travel to Uman to Rav Ashi, to Berditchev. All the council heads said that seminaries must be opened. As Rabbi Moshe Chinkis said: either they take the money from the person or the person from the money. A person thinks he has money; everyone envied the student who had quantities of gold so he could sit and learn. Kings said that just to drink the water of Megiddo, it is worth coming to war with the Jews. Everyone wanted to eliminate the Jews, like Biden, where already the whole world agreed that the Jews must be eliminated. No, one "crazy" person arrived—Trump—and said that the Jews are the righteous ones and Hamas are the wicked ones. And therefore he was elected on the yahrtzeit of the Rambam (Maimonides) zt"l, who rules that if a girl is kidnapped, the entire city must be killed. The Ramban (Nachmanides) says that since they were circumcised, they already wanted to convert completely. Yaakov (Jacob) cursed them: "Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce..." The Rebbe (Rebbe Nachman) says: don't give a kiss and don't give a slap; let him grow on his own, be an example. If you wake up at five, he will wake up at three. "Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their wrath, for it is cruel; I will divide them in Jacob." They did not receive a portion of land; Shimon (Simeon) received within Yehuda (Judah) where it is impossible to sow. The Chiddushei HaRim (Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter) zt"l says that this is the sermon they gave at their Bar Mitzvah. They chose the method of the Rambam; Trump also chose the method of the Rambam, therefore he was elected on the yahrtzeit of the Rambam.
