These are not new comments from Rav Berland. The Rav is currently keeping pretty quiet about what is going on, at least, I’m not hearing or reading very much ‘new stuff’ to share at the moment. But when I was re-reading Conversations II, which bring together a bunch of what the Rav said at the […]
Shavua Tov! Apparently, ‘we bombed Iran’ on Friday night. Of course, everything in our failed State always has to happen on either Shabbat or a Jewish holiday – that’s one of the ways they constantly take our focus off God and the Torah’s commandments and mitzvot, to have people anxiously on their phones all Shabbat, […]
On the surface, it looked like ‘nothing much’ happened yesterday, at least that was ‘bad’. The Chag here in Jerusalem was celebrated with a lot of joy, a lot of dancing, a lot of simcha – more than I remember in previous years. The weather was gorgeous, sunny, but breezy. The Rav came out on […]
This morning, shortly before dawn, I had a dream. ***UPDATE – PRAYER FROM THE RAV TO OVERCOME FEAR*** In the dream, Itzik HaKadosh visited me, and told me everything was going to be OK – even though I’m honestly feeling very apprehensive today, like the whole rest of Israel. ==== I wrote about Itzik HaKadosh […]
Here’s another recent shiur given by Rav Berland. Enjoy! ==== Shiur that was given after the Ma’ariv prayers, the evening of the 7th of Tishrei, 5785 (October 10, 2024) In the writings of Rabbi Levi Yitzhak [Schneerson], the father of the Melech HaMoshiach, it’s written that the whole story about Sisera was on Rosh Hashana. […]
Like you, and probably everyone else who still has some heart left, I have been grappling with a lot of yeoush the last few days. The lies are so sickening, so non-stop, the cognitive dissonance so great for so many people, the prospects of this turning around, or the war stopping, any time soon – without […]
You have probably never heard of Michael L Rodkinson. That’s OK. I also hadn’t until about three days ago. ==== That’s when I was actually reading through Antelmann’s TO ELIMINATE THE OPIATE again, Volumes I and II, after a reader reminded me about them. And that’s where (in Volume 2), I found a whole bunch […]
The last few days, I have been feeling pretty uneasy. It began a couple of days before Sukkot, in the middle of the night, when I woke up feeling very agitated and antsy. It wasn’t a ‘bad dream’, or something like that, it was a feeling from my neshama. Later that day, the Golani base […]
More translated comments from Rav Berland, last week. == Second day of Rosh Hashana 5785, after kiddush Now, it’s the fiftieth gate. Now, it’s the geulah. All those who are here will merit to have 10 sons and 10 daughters. == In a seperate shiur from Shabbat Ha’azinu –Shuva 5785. Before the reading of the Torah. […]
Around 15 years’ ago, Erez Moshe Doron came out with a fiction novel called ‘Warriors of Transcendence’. This was before the whole ‘Shakuf’ experiment, that took down so many people’s marriages and mental health… While I threw away all my books from Rabbi Doron post-Shakuf, the one book that I’m still pleased I read was […]
