Awe-Inspiring Prayers About the War

The Tzaddik Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a foresaw in terrible prayers the difficult period in which the Jewish people and the world find themselves.

Before our teacher, the holy Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, accepted upon himself the decree of imprisonment and took upon himself the humiliations and sufferings, the Rav shlit"a composed four terrible prayers.

When one returns to contemplate and recite these prayers, one sees that our teacher, Rav Berland shlit"a, foresaw with his holy spirit what was destined to befall the world and the Jewish people within it—the Rav shlit"a, who foresaw the decrees about to arrive with great force, entered prison in order to push off and annul the evil of the decree.

The holy prayers deal with the painful subjects currently afflicting the world:

1. "To be worthy of being saved from the jealousy of the nations of the world, and may they never disturb us."
2. The wars that are stirring in the world and the way to be saved from them—"Save me and rescue me from the war of Gog and Magog that is stirring and coming to the world."
3. The antisemitism that will continue to increase in the world and the way to be saved from it—"And in the merit that they do not succeed, and we stand in the trial, and accept everything with love, and in this merit, Mashiach will come."
4. An additional prayer of our teacher, Rav Berland shlit"a, which foresaw the wars stirring in the world and which does not appear in the download file below—the immigration to Eretz Yisrael that is increasing in the shadow of the events—"Master of the World, All-Powerful, grant me the merit to ascend to Eretz Yisrael with supreme self-sacrifice."

To be worthy of being saved from the jealousy of the nations of the world, and may they never disturb us, and may all those who oppress us disappear from the world, and may we recognize only the lives of the holy Torah and prayer.

To be saved from the jealousy of the nations of the world toward us

Master of the World, All-Powerful, grant me the merit to be saved from the hatred of the nations of the world, from them, from their jealousy, and from all their multitudes, and may they never be able to harm us ever in the world, until Mashiach ben David comes and redeems us from them, and guides us on the path of truth, and we will be able to study Torah day and night without a second's interruption, and we will not divert our attention from the holy Torah even for a single second, and all those who oppress us will disappear from the world, and we will enter into good lives, into lives of blessing, into lives of Torah, into lives of prayer, and we will recognize nothing except for the Torah.

To be worthy of being saved from the war of Gog and Magog that is stirring to come to the world by being meticulous with the three meals on Shabbat and three prayers a day with all the melodies in immense deveikut (cleaving), and to be worthy of male offspring from the lineage of Tarshishim.

To be saved from the war of Gog and Magog

Master of the World, All-Powerful, save me and rescue me from the war of Gog and Magog that is stirring and coming to the world, and may I be worthy of being among those who fulfill the three meals on the holy Shabbat, with all the songs and melodies in immense deveikut and with immense joy, and through this, we will be saved from the war of Gog and Magog, and also all three prayers of every single day, we will sing and chant with great clarity and immense deveikut, and no prayer or letter shall leave our mouths without terrible intent and immense deveikut, that we shall not say it with awe and love, and love and awe, in immense deveikut for 24 hours, every word and letter that we bring forth from our mouths, and everything will be only in immense deveikut, in immense fear and trembling, and in immense joy, and through this, we will be worthy of complete teshuvah (repentance) from love, as it is said, "And a redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, declares Hashem." And we will be worthy of male offspring from the lineage of Tarshishim, and we will raise them to Talmud Torah without any difficulty, and they will always rise at three in the morning to study Torah, and to pray word by word with intent, and through this, the verse will be fulfilled in me, "And I will bring them to My holy mountain, and I will make them joyful in My house of prayer."

The prayer to be worthy of being saved from antisemitism and the hatred of the nations in the world, and we will only do good with them and bring them close to Hashem, and we will be worthy to stand in all the trials standing before us that want to destroy us, and we will accept everything with love, and we will be worthy of the revelation of Mashiach ben David.

To be saved from antisemitism

Master of the World, All-Powerful, from Whom no scheme is hidden, as long as we are in the exile of the nations, save us from antisemitism and the hatred of the nations, and we will only do good with them, and through this, we will bring them close to His service, may He be blessed, day and night, and they will study Torah day and night, and through this, we will enter with our bodies into the Garden of Eden, as the Gemara says in Pesachim 87b: that one priest asked Rabbi Chanina, what are we thinking about 24 hours a day? He answered him, 24 hours a day you are only thinking about how to eliminate all the Jews. The priest said to him, I swear by the army of Rome, that with this we begin the day and with this we end the day, and this is all our thoughts, and our aspirations, and our hope, to be rid of this people in the blink of an eye, and in the merit that they do not succeed, and we stand in the trial, and accept everything with love, and in this merit, Mashiach ben David will come in the blink of an eye.

An additional prayer of our teacher, Rav Berland shlit"a, which foresaw the wars stirring in the world and which does not appear in the download file below.

To be worthy of ascending to Eretz Yisrael and not be harmed by it at all, and to sell everything for full value, and I will be worthy of leaving the impurity of the land of the nations where we have settled, and we will break all the obstacles, which are all primarily obstacles of the mind.

To ascend to Eretz Yisrael

Master of the World, All-Powerful, grant me the merit to ascend to Eretz Yisrael with supreme self-sacrifice, and I will leave all my assets and all my property that I have abroad, and I will not leave anything of it, and I will not leave any memory of it, I will only sell everything with maximum speed for full value, and I will not lose even one prutah because I am ascending to Eretz Yisrael, and I will not be harmed by any harm due to the ascent to Eretz Yisrael, because we no longer have the strength to remain in the exile abroad even for a single second, because we want to ascend to the land of our forefathers which You gave to our forefathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, "a land flowing with milk and honey," because Eretz Yisrael is holier than all the lands in the world, and in it Hashem your God chose from all the desires of the world. Please Hashem, grant me the merit to ascend to Eretz Yisrael with self-sacrifice, and bring us to Your holy mountain, because the strength of patience to remain abroad has already failed, and on the other hand, we have already settled here abroad in the impurity of the land of the nations, and we do not know how to free ourselves from this, and now we turn to You in kneeling and bowing, and help us, Hashem our God, to come to Eretz Yisrael in the blink of an eye, and help us to break all the obstacles, and all the delays, because the main obstacle is in the mind.
