Forty Years of the Yeshivah in the Old City

With great Siyata Dishmaya (Heavenly assistance), the 'Hitchadshut' issue has been published - the Breslov Shuvu Banim magazine from the treasures of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a - spectacular and expanded for the month of Av 5782. Before you is a brief overview of what is in the expanded issue and the accompanying supplements:

So, what is in issue no. 42:

"Beit Chayeinu" (The House of Our Life) - A series of articles on the history of our Beit Midrash building in the Old City, in honor of the forty years, 5742-5782, since the Yeshiva entered the building in the Old City:

"And the House in its Building" - The 'Hitchadshut' team delved into the depths of the building's history and brought up memories from over one hundred and thirty years ago, when the 'Chayei Olam' building was purchased, and about the different periods the building went through, until the arrival of 'Shuvu Banim' to the place. Featuring the exposure of rare documents and photos for the first time. / Nachman Gilad

"Your Beginning is Small" - How the mayor Teddy Kollek tried to expel the 'Shuvu Banim' Yeshiva for the returnees to teshuvah (repentance) by all means, including everything, and what secret weapon did the police find in the big raid on the Yeshiva...? / Nachman Gilad

"Ancient Holiness" - Veteran students of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a tell about the first years of the Yeshiva's establishment, the fire and flame that was ignited forty years ago by our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a, the Sabbaths and holidays in the place, and words on the greatness of the place. / Nachman Gilad

"A Man of Life, A Man of Many Deeds" - The son-in-law of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a - the honorable Rabbi Natan Rubinstein shlit"a in a conversation full of fascinating stories and new revelations about the leader of our community, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Bender zt"l, and about the connection between R' Levi Yitzchak zt"l and our teacher Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, may he live a long and good life. / Meir Yaavetz

"Pour Out Your Heart Like Water..." - The transportation system to the field (Uman) that began about two years ago during the Corona lockdowns is wondrous by any measure. In a conversation with the 'Hitchadshut' editorial staff, Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Goldovsky, who bears the heavy burden of this massive enterprise that our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a founded about fifty years ago, we hear about open miracles, stand in awe at the self-sacrifice, and learn of the enormous costs. The road to the field... / Nachman Gilad

"Hamtakot" (Sweetenings) - There is almost no young person in Breslov who does not know the words 'Master of the World, sweeten...' In a candid interview, he tells of the way the song was created. In addition to his extensive activity in the 'Heichal HaGvanim HaMishtanim' synagogue, the moving life story of R' Nachman Sonnenstein serves as a resounding and strengthening message for every parent facing challenges. A touching monologue. / Nachman Gilad

"Between the Trees of the Forest" - Although the North is packed to capacity with travelers during the Bein HaZmanim period, they have probably not yet heard of the Baal Shem Tov forest. Somewhere between Safed and Meron, in the middle of a forest called the 'Baal Shem Tov Forest', there is a trail of graves of tzaddikim, where travelers are almost non-existent, and one can find a place of refuge and quiet there. / Natan Or Ashdod

All this and more alongside the regular columns; a strengthening talk, embers of fire, pleasant discourse, strengthening, illuminations, Torah with power, and much more...

Alongside the magazine issue of nearly one hundred colorful, eye-catching pages, the 'HaMechadesh' and 'Shtilim' supplements were attached to the issue;

In the 'HaMechadesh' supplement, you can find 24 pages full of everything good - including full coverage from the last two months in the presence of our teacher Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a - 'Let the pure come...' A Chumash party for first-grade children in Nachalat Tzion with the participation of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a. 'Shavuot Kibbutz', the festival of the giving of the Torah in the presence of the tzaddik. 'Restrain your voice from weeping'... Erev Rosh Chodesh Av at the tomb of Rachel Imeinu. 'Inside the Holy', coverage of the lessons at the residence of our teacher the Rav shlit"a for the various groups from across the country and our holy community. More and more of what is heard and seen around our teacher the Rav, in addition to the community news section.

'Shtilim' supplement for the children of the tzaddik. This month, the pamphlet expands with a number of new sections including; 'In the merit of the mitzvah of redeeming captives', a new and fascinating comic in installments. Nachman and Natan in pursuit of the 'Treasure of Character Traits'. This is alongside the regular columns; 'Maaseh Rav' - 36 continuous hours of study. 'Words of the Rav' for the young of the flock, and this month about all the animals from the prayer - 'Prayer to the Living G-d'. 'In the ways of the tzaddikim' - the 5681 (1921) Kibbutz without fear. All this and more sections, punctuated and suitable for the young of the holy flock - the children of the tzaddik.

You can find all this good and much more that we have not mentioned among the 132 pages of the magazine and supplements, with rare photos, some published for the first time, facts and deeds, stories and strengthenings for the whole family in the light and from the treasures of our teacher Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a.
