Awe and Fear - Accepting the Yoke of Heaven with the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a at the Bar Mitzvah of the Cohen Family and Visit to the Bar Mitzvah of the Goldstein Family

On Thursday night of Shabbat Va'etchanan, the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a arrived at the Bar Mitzvah celebration of the Cohen family. Rav Berland shlit"a aligned the hearts with the recitation of verses accepting the yoke of Heaven, like lightning striking the heart, as all present in the celebration hall at the old Beit Yaakov in Jerusalem melted from sheer awe and fear. "I am Hashem your God," cried Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a the verse from the acceptance of the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy 5:6 (also appearing in Exodus 20:2) and the entire audience at the Bar Mitzvah celebration cried after him. "I, to Hashem, I will sing" (Judges 5:3), continued the rabbi to redeem the souls of the people of Israel, as the audience continued after him.

Afterwards, the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a continued to the Bar Mitzvah celebration of the Goldstein family, where the cantor sang "Planted in the House of Hashem".
