A Spectacular Sight: Thousands of Breslov Chassidim Surround the Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a on the Eve of Yom Kippur 5779 at the Foot of the Shul

After a forced absence of several years, the esteemed righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a arrived for the Yom Kippur prayers at the central Breslov Chassidim synagogue on Mea Shearim Street in the holy city of Jerusalem. Rav Berland shlit"a restored the crown to its former glory after being unable to attend the central Breslov Chassidim synagogue, where he had regularly prayed for decades, in recent years.

The prayers were conducted in pure holiness as thousands of Breslov Chassidim, along with the entire chassidic communities and the people of Israel, gathered into the central minyan at the Breslov Chassidim shul. The following images depict the sacred scenes of the multitudes of worshippers along the streets of Mea Shearim during the Kiddush Levanah, as is customary on the eve of Yom Kippur.
