A Spectacular Sight: Thousands of Breslov Chassidim Surround the Righteous Rabbi

After a forced absence of several years, the Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, arrived for the Yom Kippur prayers at the central Breslov Chassidic Beit Midrash on Meah Shearim Street in the Holy City of Jerusalem. Rav Berland shlit"a restored a crown to its former glory, as in recent years he had been prevented from reaching the central Beit Midrash of the Breslov Chassidim, where he had been accustomed to pray for decades.

The prayers were conducted in a state of pure holiness as thousands of Breslov Chassidim, together with all the Chassidic communities and the people of Israel, gathered into the central minyan at the Breslov Shul. The following images depict the holy scenes of the multitudes of worshippers along the streets of Meah Shearim during Kiddush Levanah, as is customary on Motzaei Yom Kippur.
