A Must-See and Share: The Kabbalist Menashe Amon and the Hidden Tzaddikim in a

The Kabbalist, the Gaon and Tzaddik, Menashe Amon shlit"a, paused his regular lecture and, before a large audience, began to speak about the severity of the arrest of the holy Gaon and Tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. "My teachers and masters, there is a rabbi and there is a tzaddik; there are the thirty-six hidden tzaddikim and there is the head of the thirty-six tzaddikim," Rabbi Menashe began, explaining the stature of Rav Berland shlit"a.

"There is a rabbi and there is a tzaddik; you do not know what a tzaddik does. Even when it seems wrong to you, you do not know what he is accomplishing."

"I know that many will not agree with my words, but I am speaking to those innocent ones who truly believe, and they hear and they stumble—it is a pity."

"We have in our generation a tzaddik who is very, very great, whom many do not know about, and as much as you think you know him, he conceals twice as much. Rabbi Eliezer Berland, do you know what a holy Jew he is?"

"This tzaddik is a holy of holies; he is 82 years old and stands in prayer for 16 consecutive hours. This holy Jew received a difficult task from Heaven. Every tzaddik has a role in the world; there are the thirty-six tzaddikim, and each of them receives his task. Rabbi Eliezer Berland received an unbearable task; he received the task of atoning for the entire Jewish people, to atone for each and every one of us."

To listen to the words of Rabbi Menashe Amon in audio:

Before we continue to bring you the words of the Kabbalist, Rabbi Menashe Amon, regarding the severity of accepting lashon hara (evil speech) about the tzaddik who is the head of the thirty-six tzaddikim (as he stated above), Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, and the disparagement of a Torah scholar, we note that his harsh words prompted us to edit all the material we have accumulated in our archives. We are happy to bring you a broad perspective on the reasons for the terrible controversy surrounding the holy Gaon and Tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, in a full film with new revelations.

"It is written, 'He who hears his own disgrace should remain silent.' If they were to disgrace one of us, we would immediately answer and react. This tzaddik accepts disgrace, accepts shame, in order to sweeten the judgments so that harsh things do not reach here. And we see it in the media and immediately judge, immediately speak, and immediately stumble."

"If you knew that this tzaddik is atoning for me and for you, and for you... He nullifies decrees with blood; it is very difficult to nullify decrees with blood. You can nullify a decree with clay, but with blood it is difficult—blood against blood. I am not saying that one should make commerce out of Torah for money, but Rav Berland is a tzaddik who takes the 'turbid blood,' which is the Golden Calf, and nullifies the judgments from these bloods."

"We suspect him of taking the money into his own pocket; do you know how many Torah scholars he has raised in the 'Shuvu Banim' yeshiva?"

"He sits in prison and atones for us, and we do not care! This is the disparagement of a Torah scholar; do you know how difficult that is? And what is happening in the world, the coronavirus, etc.—gentlemen, what a person sees among the nations of the world, he must examine his own deeds."

"A Torah scholar who is disparaged and we do not protest—woe to us and woe to our souls; this is not simple. I am speaking to everyone: there is no religious, Haredi, traditional, or secular; we are all the children of one man. We all must ask for forgiveness from Hashem, whether knowingly or unknowingly, because if we heard and did not even reject it, we have introduced evil into our ears."
