Last night, on Monday night, the 4th of Chol HaMoed Pesach, a Kabbalas Pnei Rabo gathering took place in the courtyard of our Beis Midrash, with the participation of more than a thousand of Anshei Shlomeinu. At 19:27, The Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, came out onto the balcony of his home and sat down to deliver a special shiur that lasted for more than forty minutes. In the shiur, he spoke about the festival of Pesach and the miracles that were done for our forefathers in Egypt. He also strengthened everyone regarding learning Gemara during the Bein HaZmanim days, and he spoke at length about the hidden treasures of the holy Torah.

After the shiur, The Rav shlit"a stood for Ma’ariv, with niggunim, in a great public gathering, for about twenty minutes. After that came Sefiras HaOmer—“Netzach sheb’Tiferes”—for about half an hour, and he entered his holy abode at 21:18.
