A New Prayer Platform in Honor of the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

As befitting a king, a new platform was erected this week in honor of the Tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, in his house of prayer. Rav Berland shlit"a has said in the past that a tzaddik can pray anywhere; nevertheless, the construction of the platform is a blessed act, as the new platform is much more spacious and well-equipped.

Everyone witnesses the self-sacrifice of the tzaddik in his journeys to bring the distant closer and to redeem the people of Israel, which Rav Berland shlit"a conducts every single night. Everyone also sees the self-sacrifice of the tzaddik in his prayers; despite the physical suffering he endures due to his health condition, the Rav shlit"a continues to pray with the public. Furthermore, the Rav prolongs his prayers with sweetness and melody, elevating the entire congregation along with him.

Yasher Koach to all those who worked on this construction.
