A Rare Conversation Between the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a and the Kabbalist Rabbi Dov Kook shlit"a

A rare conversation between the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a and the Kabbalist Rabbi Dov Kook shlit"a from Tiberias, held on the 5th of Iyar 5775, during the Sefirah of Yesod SheBeTiferet.
In his words, our teacher the Rav strengthens Rabbi Kook and says he will bring the entire city of Tiberias to teshuvah (repentance), soon the redemption will come, and the Sanhedrin will be established from Tiberias. The Rav also spoke about the importance of traveling to the Tomb of Yosef in Shechem during the Sefirah of Yesod SheBeYesod and mentioned that 10,000 people will come. Listen to the main fascinating points:
Rabbi Berland: "Hod SheBeTiferet, Hod SheBeTiferet, today is the 20th day of the Omer (Yesod SheBeTiferet, the time the conversation was held in 5775)."
Rabbi Kook: "Shalom Aleichem, honorable Rav."
Rabbi Berland: "Shalom Aleichem, today is Yom Kippur, after the death of Moshe and Aharon, today is Erev Shabbat Yom Kippur.., the Zohar says there was such a great light like Yom Kippur."
"The Sanhedrin will come from Tiberias, you will be the head of the Sanhedrin" (Rabbi Berland says to Rabbi Kook). "It is written (Rambam, Hilchot Sanhedrin Chapter 14) that the Sanhedrin will come from Tiberias, it will emerge from the navel of the world, Tiberias is the center of the world..., Tiberias is the largest, most holy city. Sefirat Netzach, it is written that Tiberias is Sefirat Netzach, Tzfat is Hod.."
"We are reaching Yesod SheBeTiferet, which is the holy name Ma"H. "And He will give strength to His king and exalt the horn of His anointed" (1 Samuel 2:10), the prayer of Chana, Chana prayed that the son of (Shmuel) would reveal the King Mashiach. "I am the woman who stood with you" (ibid. 26).
"Now we are in Yesod SheBeTiferet, the rectification of the Sefirah of Yesod, Yesod SheBeYesod, Yosef the tzaddik, everyone travels to Shechem, there will be 10,000 people there (in 5775)..., Yesod SheBeYesod is the Sefirah that rectifies all reincarnations."
"Our Rebbe says that even if a person rectified in this reincarnation, he does not know what was in the previous reincarnation..., in Yesod SheBeYesod all the screens fall, no screen remains.."
"Now (Parshat Acharei Mot Kedoshim when the conversation was held), after the death of Nadav and Avihu, fire surrounds us. Whoever makes a covenant today or on Shabbat is surrounded by a flame of fire.."
"A person can reach the age of 148, the gematria of Nachman, easily, if he guards his eyes and thoughts, then he will bring the whole world to teshuvah. Adam HaRishon was stingy, he gave King David only 70 years, if he had given him another 30 years (a total of 100 years) the redemption would have come and the first house would have been built..., the Holy Temple of fire can descend even on Shabbat."
"Now we are surrounded by a Holy Temple of fire, this is the Buzina D'Kardunita that pierces all the screens. We are all traveling to Meron, at two o'clock there will be the lighting and everyone should come to the lighting."
"Your honor (Rabbi Berland personally addresses Rabbi Kook) will see miracles and wonders and will have a yeshiva with 10,000 students. Now is a time of favor, in Netzach all the intellects of the world are revealed..."
"A person comes to the world and they tell him, 'You didn't pay,' because you received life, you received a gift and didn't use it.., a person worked all his life, but he paid with a token, he paid in cents, it's terrible and dreadful."
"In Pinchas, Nadav and Avihu were reincarnated, a person must cry for Nadav and Avihu, and whoever cries for them is assured that his sons will not die in his lifetime."
