Bris Milah in the Settlement of Bat Ayin with the Gaon and Tzaddik

Friday, just a few hours before the arrival of the Shabbat Queen, Shabbat Haazinu—and indeed, only a few hours before the Clouds of Glory of Sukkot would descend and the light of the "Shabbat of the Shepherds" (the spiritual light of the Ushpizin) would envelop us all—our teacher, the holy Gaon and Tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, went to fulfill the holy covenant of Israel with the Creator of the world, the covenant of our forefather Abraham.

Our teacher, Rabbi Berland shlit"a, arrived at the settlement of Bat Ayin in western Gush Etzion, at Yafeh Nof Street, where he served as Sandek (the one who holds the baby during the circumcision) at the Bris (circumcision) that took place there.
