Shiur from Monday, 18th Tammuz 5785 (July 14th, 2025)

There are lots of hints to what is really going on here… including the enormous level of spiritual protection that Eretz Yisrael and Jerusalem still enjoys.

Enjoy!

==

[The Rav starts talking about all the miracles being witnessed in Eretz Yisrael, currently.]

Something here ruined everything.

Shuvu Banim ruined everything [Iran had planned], they disrupted the whole order. More of the girls recited tehillim the whole night long, so, Khameini is misken (a poor thing).

Now, he wanted to blow everything up here.

He said that his whole campaign got disrupted, they said tehillim all night long.

==

We didn’t sleep for 12 nights, nobody slept, no girl slept, they just recited tehillim.

They stood here below [at the Rav’s prayers on Ido HaNavi] and yelled out the tehillim – they heard it even in Uman, all their cries.

Khameini went mad from this, he hid himself away.

He sent rockets, not a single rocket [arrived]. We see this on the screens, that the rockets went to the side, the rockets didn’t enter Israel.

==

Here [in Eretz Yisrael], there are masachim (screens, but can also mean spiritual ‘veils’ that are invisibly protecting Eretz Yisrael.)

We are within the masachim.

There are electronic masachim here, and masachim that the Tzaddik is making for us, and it’s impossible – no rocket can enter Eretz Yisrael!

There is no such thing as this! It only injures Ukrainians, but [in Eretz Yisrael] – not a single rocket!

==

“The kings of the earth didn’t believe, nor did any of the world’s inhabitants, that the adversary or enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem.”[1]

We will say this in another two weeks [on Tisha B’Av], that’s when we’ll say this, already. We will sit on the floor, and say this.

==

“The kings of the earth didn’t believe.”

They didn’t believe, they didn’t believe it. Sennacheriv brought [soldiers] from all the States, he brought billions of soldiers, two billion soldiers.

It’s written in Lamentations: “The kings of the earth didn’t believe nor did any of the world’s inhabitants, that the adversary or enemy could enter the gates of Jerusalem.”

They didn’t believe it.

For 850 years, no-one had conquered Jerusalem, from the time we entered Eretz Yisrael (until the destruction of the First Temple], this is 850 years.

==

It’s written 480 [years after the Jews entered the land, the First Temple was built], and another 410 [when the First Temple was actually standing]. For 850 years, it was impossible to conquer Jerusalem.

440 and 410 – it’s impossible to conquer Jerusalem.

They tried. They came on the 7th of Av, spilled some benzine. They came on the 7th of Av, they came to burn down the Temple. During the 7th of Av, the 8th of Av, they didn’t succeed.

Today, it’s the first of July, it will be the first of August, the 7th of Av. They came to burnt it down, and didn’t succeed to burn it. It was made from inflammable material.

They took [? Missing in original text], put it through the fire – and it wasn’t burnt. It wasn’t burnt. They took around 40 to burn them[2].

==

Anousim who returned to the Jewish faith – they burnt them.[3]

But they weren’t burnt. It’s written that they tried a lot of time to burn Jews, and didn’t manage it.

==

Because they got to Tunisia, to Morocco, to Tripoli, whole boats arrived, with 5,000 Jews, and each one alighted.

And then they asked them, who are you?

We are Jews.

How can I know that you are really Jews?

We are circumcised.

Arabs also circumcise themselves!

Two and a half billion Arabs are circumcised – all the non-Jews are like a drop in a bucket, like the thinnest thread. The nations are like nothing, and are considered to be like tohu. It never was, and never will be.

The nations weren’t even created – nothing and tohu.

==

There was one [US President], Reagan or Bush or Kennedy, who talked with Shamir.

He said, I’m the head of the government for 250 million, and you, just over five million.

But the nations count for nothing! What is this, 250 million, what even is it?! It’s 25, and five zeros. 250 million is nothing.

[Returning to the 2 1/2 billion soldiers of Sennacheriv] This is 250 and seven zeros. 25 and seven zeros.

It’s only ‘zeros’.

I don’t believe you.

==

So he brought whole states.

He conquered countries, conquered the whole world. He conquered up until England, conquered Turkey. There is a cave[4], Hadrian’s, between England and…[text missing in original].

==

So they didn’t manage to conquer Scotland.

They were man-eaters, all the Nazis were tribes of cannibals. They were the tribes who were the most aristocratic souls – they just ate people. Cannibals, who ate children and babies.

They wanted to eat Odel,[5] literally, to just eat her up – the Haidamaks.

==

There are hooligans and bandits, and they had intelligence information from the FBI or from the CIA, that the most tasty meat in the world was Odel.

They wanted to take her, cook her, and cut her like a salami. A salami is a sausage. So, they wanted to make a salami out of Odel – Odel, the daughter of the Baal Shem Tov.

She was one of the hostages, one of the kidnapped.

She was in Khan Younis and Rafiach.
