"Lift up your eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to you" (Isaiah 60:4)

The days of the Mashiach, this was the feeling of those who came to the prayer assembly, protest, and cry before the return of our teacher, the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, to prison.

People from all walks of life came, all shades of the Israeli society were seen crying out in pain in front of the walls of Ayalon Prison in Ramla. All in unity and true unconditional love, which is so rare in our regions lately.

"I've never seen anything like this," was one of the statements heard by those who merited to participate in this awe-inspiring and exalted event. Cries and tears in prayer, followed by holy dances and simcha of emunah, for the Eternal of Israel does not lie, and everyone believes that in the end, kedushah will prevail over evil, and the tzaddik will continue the journey of redemption until he completes everything for the good, with Hashem's help.

It was interesting to meet people who did not know the Rav, but were strengthened in their adherence to the truth after witnessing the persecution by the media and the judicial system that forgot what justice is. For those who truly observe and examine quickly find a holy community, the holy and pure people of the tzaddik, "Shuvu Banim" in Jerusalem, in Eretz Yisrael, and all over the world.

Such prayers may have never been seen before, cries and supplications in the recitation of the chapters of Tehillim of the Tikkun HaKlali and the "selected chapters" that our teacher revealed to the world. Cries reaching the heart of the heavens in an emotional gathering of accepting the yoke of the kingdom of heaven.

Alongside the people of Israel, servants of Hashem and God-fearing scholars, came tzaddikim of whom it is testified that they are among the 36 hidden tzaddikim: the kabbalist Rabbi Golan Ma'alma shlit"a, the kabbalist Rabbi Sheinfeld shlit"a, the kabbalist Rabbi Stern from Bnei Brak shlit"a, and many others, too numerous to mention, and of course, the great rabbis, students of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a, all came.

Chassidim alongside Litvaks, Sephardim alongside Ashkenazim, Haredim alongside religious Zionists, religious alongside secular, those who put on a kippah to join nearly three thousand worshippers who came. Even the police officers who secured the event seemed to participate in the prayer.

The feeling was of sweetening the judgments, that the tzaddik gathers all the souls connected to him to sweeten decrees from the enemies of Israel. Precisely from the severe persecution against him, our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a manages to do what all the tzaddikim of the generations tried to do - to unite the people of Israel. And where? Not at the Kotel nor at the Cave of the Patriarchs, but in front of the walls of the prison in Ramla.

Fortunate are we to have merited, there is no doubt that this unity assembly had a great effect in the heavens.
