If One Listens to the Voice of the Tzaddik

"The people of Israel came into the world to sit in one Sukkah; all of the people of Israel are worthy of sitting in one Sukkah. In the totality of the colors, Rebbe Nachman taught us that all of the people of Israel are worthy of sitting in one Sukkah, therefore we say, 'Ana Hashem Hoshia Na, Ana Hashem Hatzlicha Na.' 'Hoshia' (save) is the letters of Yehoshua, for all the holidays open with the power of Joshua the son of Nun. Therefore, the Yud is divided into a Vav and a Dalet - 10. The Hei, also 10. The Vav - 16. The Shin - 60. The Ayin - 156."

At the honorable and spectacular event of the grand Hillula in honor of the Yahrtzeit of the Butzina Kadisha in 5779, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov in Holon, our teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, delivered words.

"We came into the world only to recognize Yosef HaTzaddik; the world was not created except to join with this - to create a partnership with the tzaddik. Everything that a person comes into the world for is to reveal the true tzaddik, therefore one must study Shas and Gemara, everything is to reveal the true tzaddik. We call to the soul of man, all the work of a person from the moment they are born is to reveal the true tzaddik; all generations are drawn from the true tzaddik. All generations and souls are all sparks from the true tzaddik."

"On Simchat Torah we will begin the Book of Genesis, after that will come Shabbat Bereshit; Bereshit is the 'head of the house' (rosh bayit) upon which the entire world and all generations stand. I can bite into wood from the intensity of the suffering I have; the Rebbe said that he could cut wood with his teeth from the intensity of the suffering he took upon himself until the end of all generations. The Rebbe took upon himself all the suffering of the Holocaust, the Rebbe took everything upon himself, therefore it is worthwhile to use the merit of Rebbe Nachman."

"The Rebbe came into the world to sweeten all the judgments, which is the secret of Sukkot, that today (Monday of Chol HaMoed Sukkot) we are in the 'Chesed' (kindness) of 'Tiferet' (beauty) and tomorrow in the 'Chesed' of 'Netzach' (eternity) - from tomorrow everything is already sweetened. From tomorrow one can eat anything, because from tomorrow everything is sweetened. The moment one reaches the 'Chesed' of 'Netzach', everything is sweetened; the entire work is to reach the 'Chesed' of 'Netzach'. But, how can one reach the 'Chesed' of 'Netzach', from where do we take the strength? Therefore we traveled to Uman, they sawed Leah from the Zeir Anpin; the Rebbe said, 'From now on everyone arrives for Erev Rosh Hashanah, without exception. From now on everyone should prepare so that on Friday they will be in Uman, so that on Erev Rosh Hashanah they will be there.'"

"Rebbe Nachman performs all the tikkunim (rectifications) on Erev Rosh Hashanah, for all generations, even the 'thirty and one hundred' (the 130) of its weight. Everyone who cried out the 'thirty and one hundred' of its weight rectified everything. All sins, all blemishes since the sin of the first man, there is no sin that is not rectified when we cry out together the 'thirty and one hundred' of its weight; this is the Sukkah of the skin of the Leviathan. This is the secret of the Leviathan that Jonah the Prophet entered, for Jonah did not want to speak rebuke, he preferred to be swallowed in the belly of the Leviathan rather than speak rebuke. Through Jonah the Prophet, one can reach every place in the world."

"If one listens to the voice of the tzaddik, a person has parnassah (livelihood) for a billion years."
