"For it is a matter of life and death, the Rav is in real danger of death"
Rabbi Berland's call to attend the awakening gathering in Hebron

As we have brought the words of our teacher, the holy Gaon, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, regarding the important awakening assembly in Hebron, the likes of which has never been seen. There, we mentioned the words of the Rav regarding the importance and merit of attending the assembly, "that such an assembly has not existed since the creation of the world, the light of Chanukah, the light of the seven days before the creation of the world, the light of the 370,000 lights that were with Chava (the wife of Adam HaRishon)."
We continue and bring the emotional and unequivocal call of our teacher, Rav Berland, regarding the importance of attending the assembly. These are the words of the tzaddik: "The Rav comes to announce here that there is an awakening assembly in Hebron after the eighth candle. That everyone should light the candle and then everyone should travel to Hebron at 24:00 (midnight), until 2:30 they will finish the Book of Psalms near the Cave of the Patriarchs. Afterwards, they will recite the 'Tikkun HaKlali' and return to Jerusalem."
The holy Gaon, Rav Berland, continues and says, "The Rav asks everyone to come to the awakening assembly because it is a matter of my very soul; the Rav is in literal danger of death, therefore everyone must come to the assembly without exception. From all circles, all shades of the spectrum, secular, religious, knitted kippahs, black kippahs, it does not matter what clothing they wear. Everyone must come to the assembly for the sake of saving the people of Israel, in order to prevent a new intifada, so that no missiles will be thrown to the south or the north, that no Jew will be harmed anymore - until Mashiach ben David comes and rectifies everything."
Our teacher, the holy Gaon, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, recently said that there is a very harsh decree upon the people of Israel. The Rav added and said that if we do not succeed in annulling it, he will have to take everything upon himself, and it will be very, very difficult, more difficult than anything the tzaddik has taken upon himself in the past.
Our teacher, the Rav shlit"a, succeeded in delaying the decree for six years, so that there would be six years of life with the tzaddik. Six years of prayers and the bringing down of Torahs. Now we are at a most critical hour for the people of Israel as a whole, therefore everyone must arrive at the assembly - without exception.
It is interesting that the Rav shlit"a emphasized in his words that the goal of the assembly is to stop the war in the south and also in the north, for in the north, thank Hashem, it has been quiet recently. However, today, after the IDF began the operation in the north, the words of the Rav are beginning to become somewhat clearer. Because there are much harder things, and if we do not annul the decree through prayers, the Rav will have to, Heaven forbid, take everything upon himself. Therefore, the Rav said, "It is a matter of my very soul, the Rav is in literal danger of death."
