"For One Who Believes in the Tzaddik, Nothing Can Happen to Them"

Yesterday, the night of Wednesday of Parshat Shemot 5779, as part of his holy journeys to bring the souls of Israel closer, the holy Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a arrived in Ashdod and Kiryat Ekron.

In the lesson that the tzaddik gave in Ashdod, he said, "It is forbidden for a person to have more than one name. The Rebbe wants to make a completely new creation out of everyone. A woman is obligated in the Chanukah candle, and on Erev Shabbat she must light the Shabbat candle after lighting the Chanukah candle, and if not, she should intend not to fulfill her obligation. A woman is obligated in the entire Torah; she must know all the stories of the Gemara, and the story of Rav Rechumi."

Rav Berland shlit"a added and said, "When passing through the Damascus Gate, one must accept upon themselves the four death penalties of the Beit Din. Fear is the worst thing; a person must know that there is none else besides Him (Hashem). The baby at the brit cries only because of the commotion around him."

"'And Hashem appeared to him in the plains of Mamre,' because Mamre told him to circumcise himself after Aner and Eshkol had died. He said: They died because they disagreed with the tzaddik. He circumcised himself and nothing happened to him, for whoever believes in the tzaddik, nothing can happen to him! All of a person's illnesses are from toxins in the stomach, the toxins from sweets. One must read every day the blessings brought in Parshat Vayechi. 'Until Shiloh comes'—this is Moshe, 'and to him shall be the gathering of the peoples.'"
