Before you is a summary from the daily lesson as delivered by our teacher, The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a – yesterday after the Maariv (evening) prayer, Thursday night, the eve of the 16th of Shevat, Parshas Yisro:

Parshas Yisro is the Giving of the Torah; now it was literally Rosh Hashanah (the New Year), and tomorrow at sunset the Giving of the Torah begins. In another two and a half hours it will already be Chatzos (midnight); every girl needs to finish the entire Tehillim (Psalms) and study Tanach (Bible) and finish Megillas Esther (the Scroll of Esther) every day for forty days before Purim. Why is it written once "Queen Vashti" and once "Vashti the Queen"? Because Ahasuerus said to her, "I am the king," and she said to him, "I am the queen." This depends on whether Nebuchadnezzar took three steps or four. Belshazzar, they cut off his head, they opened his head—they wanted him to have an "open head"—and he was dying for six hours, because "one kingdom does not touch its fellow" (a Talmudic concept meaning no reign overlaps with another by even a hairsbreadth). Trump said that we need to attack the Arabs; everyone should study with his wife the laws of Gezilah (theft), chapter 5; Trump was created to help Israel. He said that in another forty-eight hours, if they don't return the hostages, we need to go in against them until the end, to open the gates of Gehinnom (Hell). Bibi (Netanyahu) did not agree; he said they are our brothers. The whole problem is the yeshiva students. Just as the Palmach (pre-state elite fighting force) did not enter the Jewish Quarter in 1948; they said, "We don't need the Chareidim (ultra-Orthodox) who walk around with kapotes (long traditional coats)." They wanted to help the Arabs eliminate everyone up to Meah Shearim; in the end, they did not succeed. This is all the intentions of the accursed Zionists; for 19 years they didn't let us reach the Kotel (Western Wall). I saw the Kotel at age seven, but afterward, for 19 years, we didn't reach it. "Thus shall you say to the House of Jacob and tell the Children of Israel" (Exodus 19:3)—if the mother prays three prayers a day, the boy will be fine, the girl won't need a psychologist. If the mother and father sing zemiros (Sabbath songs) on Shabbat, and if the mother wakes up early, then the girl will be fine. The mother comes before the father, therefore it says "Thus shall you say to the House of Jacob" (referring to the women). If the war continues on Shabbat, then every day five soldiers are killed, and we must stop the war that the Zionists are interested in. The girls should say Tehillim (Psalms) and the men should learn 4 pages of Gemara (Talmud). They should learn in Tractate Chagigah page 13 about the infants who were electrocuted (a reference to the Chashmal/angelic vision), and also Tractate Kiddushin 29b about the snake with seven heads, and also the story about the lion in Tractate Chullin 59b—it gave one roar and all the walls fell, another roar and the Emperor fell from his throne. Aside from this, finish the entire Shas (the complete Talmud). The boys should go to sleep and wake up at five; the girls should wake up at eight-thirty and go to the seminary, and they will open seminaries in Zikim, Nir Oz, and Be'eri, and everyone will keep Shabbat, and there will be no more female hostages in Gaza, and we will merit the Geulah (complete Redemption) speedily in our days, Amen!
