Excerpts of comments made by Rav Eliezer Berland on August 17th, 2024, during meleveh malka.

(Translated from Shivivei Or 373.)

These comments are from last Shabbat:

==

Now, today in the evening, they will send 1,000 drones.

So, we will catch say 100, a hundred would be enough. With 100, we could get to Uman by 6am.

The drone goes 3km each second, every moment. Each second, 3km, a drone.

And a rocket –this is 5km a second. So, if this is 1,800 [km], so this divided by five is 360 [seconds] – six minutes. And a minute for launching and a minute for landing – this is 8 minutes.

In Uman, we will say seven Tikkun HaKlalis.

But, we need to return on the same day. Whoever flies to Uman tonight, it’s only on condition that he manages to come back on the same day. He has to return.

==

So, each person will grab a drone, they will fire 1,000 drones tonight.

Stand on the roof to grab a drone, and then continue straight to Uman.[1]

Within five minutes, we’ll be in Uman.

These are from two Shabbat’s ago:

Translated comments from Shabbat Devarim, August 1oth, 2024.

(Translated from Shivivei Or 373.)

Allenby said that he only believed R Chaim Sonnenfeld.

Because the Arabs said that the Kotel was theirs, because Mohammed tied his horse up there, and from here, he ‘ascended to heaven’, because he doesn’t have a grave.

But all of this is shtuyot (nonsense), because Mohammed was never at the Kotel. He was in Mecca, he didn’t even know that there was such a thing as the Kotel.

==

Because also Ben Gurion wanted that there shouldn’t be the Kotel.

They knew that if people saw the Kotel, everyone would make teshuva, so they wanted to give the Kotel away, to give everything.

The Arabs left by themselves, there was no need to kick them out. They all ran away from Haifa, from Tiberius, from Tzfat – from all of the places where Rabbenu was.[2]

The Arabs ran away without anyone firing a shot.

The Rav was born in Haifa, then, the Hagana stood on the dock, and they didn’t want to let the Arabs go past them. They promised them, you’ll be the prime minister, the mayor of the city – you’ll be given everything, just stay!!

==

So, all the places where Rabbenu was, the Arabs ran away [from there] without a shot being fired.

Because letters came from the Khadi, because they promised him 100 planes, that would blow up all the cities – but what did they deliver to him? They weren’t even prepared to bring him a drone – because they were skinflints. They’re going to bring him planes?!

==

They said they were going to blow up all the cities, Tel Aviv first of all.

They wanted to erase Tel Aviv, and all the cities – Tsfat, Tiberius, but nothing was going to happen to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is protected.

==

So, in the merit [of Allenby], they let the Jews get to the Kotel.

But they didn’t let them to bring chairs, just to stand up, like in Shuvu Banim, that people stand up all crushed together. There is no space.

Whoever would bring a chair, the British Police would beat him.

So, they wanted to bring a mechitza on Yom Kippur – also this they didn’t let. The women stood on one side, and the men on the other side, they were almost touching.

Even on Yom Kippur, when you pray for 24 hours, they didn’t let them bring chairs.

==

[Someone mentioned the mechitzahs that were put up in Dizengoff for the High Holidays of 5784 in Tel Aviv, which were violently destroyed by the city council, and some fanatical ‘anti-religious’ residents. The Rav then continues:]

On Yom Kippur, they arranged things on Dizengoff that people would pray on the street.

So many people came, they didn’t have space, so they made a mechitzah out of Israeli flags, because they didn’t let them make a [proper] mechitzah.

So they came to blows.

So Hashem said, I am already not going stay quiet about this!

So there was October 7th.

==

All the chilonim, all of them, wanted to come and pray in the Great Synagogue in Haifa on Yom Kippur.

All of them were pressing on the doors, that they should open up for them. So they broke the doors, and around 1,000 people came in. It seems even then, there was Shuvu Banim. They learned from them.

So, they cancelled the tickets, because initially, they sold tickets for people to enter the synagogue.

==

I used to pray in the Great Synagogue in Haifa, until I was 18 years old.

Afterwards, I went to yeshiva, and I used to pray there.

Before that, I wanted to go to the army. I went three times, and they didn’t accept me. I said even there, they don’t want me…

So I stopped going.

After this, they sent formal notices each time, that I should come and enlist, and they said they were going to put me in the clink, otherwise.

So I said [to myself], so what, it’s not a big deal, to be a day or two in the clink.

Nothing is going to happen.

[1] Uman is directly North of Eretz Yisrael. What does that tell you about what direction these drones described by the Rav are actually coming from?

Big things are being sweetened!

Keep going with the TKs…. each TK takes out a 1,000 rockets.

And Hizballamerica is on its last legs, just the last fight is always the hardest, and the most dangerous.
