A Shocking Message from the Rav of Those Who Persecute the Holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a — “Never Has There Been Such a Chilul Hashem; Darkness Covers the Entire World”

“This is Israel Zinger (the well-known philanthropist) speaking, and I am speaking in the name of Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Salmanovitch shlit"a of Bnei Brak (who was the primary Rav for twenty years of two of the main persecutors of the holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a). Rabbi Moshe is astonished and asks: ‘How can it be that people who learned by me for 20 years—who were like sons to me—suddenly betrayed me in such a terrible way?’”
[audio mp3="https://www.shuvubanimint.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/מפעל-הפורמטיםזינגר-בעברית.mp3" autoplay="true"][/audio]“‘All my life I thought these were good people. But someone who persecutes in such a way has a wickedness beyond anything imaginable. In truth there are only 2–3 people who incite and drag along the rest of the simple, innocent ones—and they are the ones making all the chaos.’ I asked him: Rabbi Moshe, you never spoke so sharply against anyone. And he answered me: ‘Wicked, wicked, wicked—they are burning Breslov; the Sitra Achra is literally clothed within them.’”
“‘They were with me all these years, and they used to say about me that I am compassionate—able to have compassion even on an insect. They say they saw only compassion in me, and after everything they saw, they can do so much evil to all of Shuvu Banim and to everyone who holds by Rabbi Berland shlit"a? They are creating darkness from one end of the land to the other—darkness the likes of which has never existed in the world.’”
“‘Baruch Hashem, I have now made a letter against them together with Rabbi Karp shlit"a.’” “You think you’re clever,” Zinger asks the persecutors, “but you are cutting Rabbi Moshe shlit"a into pieces. ‘You killed me,’ Rabbi Moshe says, ‘you burned my life.’ He cried to me on the phone and said he cannot believe that this man did him so much harm through his persecutions of Rabbi Berland shlit"a. ‘What they did was not for the sake of Heaven, and even now it is not for the sake of Heaven. They are making a bitter mistake. They have only opposition. They think they are now at the top of the world—but Gehinom will not be enough for them.’”
“‘If you want to be in the Heichal of Rebbe Nachman in Heaven, you must publicize these things,’ Rabbi Moshe told me. ‘There are thousands in Shuvu Banim who are careful with guarding the eyes, with self-nullification, and they endure humiliations. But you are the one spreading all the lies—the computer edits against Rabbi Berland shlit"a—when in truth it is they, and not Rabbi Eliezer shlit"a, who is speaking in the recordings.’”
“‘You committed mesirah, and you are liable for death; you destroyed thousands in Shuvu Banim who are dying every single moment.’ Rabbi Moshe shlit"a cannot bear to hear your name; his heart feels betrayed. Of course there are recordings against Rabbi Berland—whatever they accuse him of, he will admit, and he will run to accept humiliations upon himself. How can it be that someone who was by me for so many years fell into such philosophies and literally went off the path of Judaism?’”
“‘He fell from Judaism, and he is working for the Sitra Achra himself. When I hear the voice of this traitor, I want to leave the world—I cannot tolerate his voice. What—don’t the people in Beit Shemesh see that there are only two persecutors making all the chaos? Right now the Sitra Achra is helping these two, but when they depart from the world and come to enter the Heichal of Rebbe Nachman, under no circumstances will they be allowed to enter.’ So whom do you believe—Rabbi Moshe Salmanovitch, at whose feet they sat for 18 years and said that all their Torah is only from him, or these two who are clothed in the Satan?”
“‘They know how to burn, but they are incapable of building anything. You had jealousy of Rabbi Berland shlit"a from the time I first knew you. You do everything for your own honor; you are jealous of the Rav shlit"a. It’s not that you want to die al Kiddush Hashem—rather, you simply have nothing to live for. You know that 90% of Breslov is against you, and you are seeking honor through a supposed “death al Kiddush Hashem.”’
“Whoever doesn’t believe can ask Rabbi Moshe himself: ‘You are fools for going after two people who committed the greatest Chilul Hashem that ever was, and who are emissaries of the Sitra Achra itself—and they have no entry into the Heichal of Rebbe Nachman. There is no one in the world like Rabbi Berland who is able to accept such humiliations upon himself and remain silent. His students are great servants of Hashem: they rise for Chatzos and do not answer those who curse them. How are they not afraid for their families—for their wives and children? But in truth, the Sitra Achra is their “protection”: while they work so well for it, it guards them. And anyone who cooperates with these two persecutors is cooperating with the Sitra Achra and cannot enter the Heichal of the Rebbe.’”.
