Emergency Fundraiser for Our Teacher Rav Berland shlit"a by the Directive of the

After the waters have reached the soul and the condition of our teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, is literally facing a life-threatening situation (pikuach nefesh), there is a tangible fear that if a sufficient sum of money is not raised, our teacher Rav Berland will be returned to serve his sentence in prison.

After the activists handling all matters of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a are literally collapsing under the heavy burden, the Rabbinical Committee of the holy community decided to launch an emergency fundraiser to save and support our teacher Rav Berland. This appeal is to the entire holy public that for decades has drunk from the waters of his Torah and sheltered under his shadow, and of course to anyone with a Jewish soul who cries out against the grave injustice being done to a tzaddik who is a foundation of the world, who literally fights with his own body for the sake of the People of Israel.

Words of HaRav Ofer Erez shlit"a on the importance of the emergency fundraiser for the benefit of our teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

We are facing complex developments regarding the legal and medical issues of Rav Berland.

There are still entire processes that must be dealt with, both medically and legally. Therefore, the expenses for supporting the Rav in all matters related to his health and legal defense, and the maintenance of the household—which we mention every month—along with all the accompanying costs, are enormous. The activists dealing with this are collapsing under the immense burden of these expenses.

Therefore, we appeal to the general public; anyone who can help, the Rabbinical Committee is managing this and everything is done under their supervision. It has been decided that every family should strive to donate at least 1,000 shekels, and if you can solicit friends and acquaintances, may you be blessed, because there is no doubt that it is a great mitzvah to help our teacher Rav Berland in this situation. Every day we are literally dealing with new legal and medical issues that arise.

On this occasion, I want to strengthen us with what we have been asked to do; even the lawyers have approached us and recruited us to strengthen ourselves greatly in prayer and the recitation of the Tikkun HaKlali for the healing and success of Rav Berland, because despite the plea bargain, there are several very important and significant legal issues on the agenda that must be addressed.

Therefore, anyone who can help with this, the Rabbinical Committee has determined that every family should give 1,000 shekels, and simultaneously strengthen themselves with many prayers. Because we still need a great many prayers... and everyone who helps will be rewarded twofold.

All the best.
