Important message from the Kabbalist: Will the terror of the persecutors distort this too?

"They destroyed my synagogue because I did not protest the desecration of the honor of Rabbi Berland shlit"a," as we brought before you in the article regarding the words of the Kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Meir [Morgenstern] shlit"a. Now we bring a message from Rabbi Morgenstern directly from Rabbi Moshe Hess shlit"a, one of his greatest students.

Rabbi Morgenstern shlit"a sent this message publicly, standing in the center of the ruined synagogue and speaking before everyone. Here are his words: "After Rabbi Morgenstern shlit"a saw all the destruction the municipality had wrought, after they destroyed the entire new addition made to the Beis Midrash (Study Hall), Rabbi Morgenstern shlit"a said, 'Today we must protest the destruction of the synagogue, and this is because we did not protest the humiliation they inflicted upon the Tzaddik Rabbi Berland shlit"a. Heaven has now forced us to protest the destruction of the synagogue because we did not protest [for the Rabbi].'"

People who were present at the scene came to him and said: "Honored Rabbi, surely you did protest, you issued a protest letter."

Rabbi Morgenstern shlit"a answered them: "Yes (I wrote a protest letter), but those around did not let it get out; they stifled it and denied it, such that there was no protest here worthy of the name. I did not have the strength to protest it then, so now one must protest the destruction."

"Rabbi Morgenstern repeated the message several times in front of the entire congregation; everyone (between 40 and 50 people), the whole audience heard it."

"I hope there will be no one who denies this," says Rabbi Ben Nissan from the World Breslov Line (02-800-8800 from the US 18456400007 from England 4420380733333).

"Clearly, there are people with vested interests who will turn to Rabbi Morgenstern and apply pressure just as they did in the past. But even if this happens and Rabbi Morgenstern retracts, one must know that this only happens because of the terror that the persecutors inflict upon the gabbaim (attendants). The gabbaim do not have the strength to withstand the pressure, so they ultimately prefer to deny and evade all the pressures applied to them."

On this occasion, we will note how the persecutors of Rabbi Berland shlit"a do not cease fighting against holiness and truth, while being willing to descend to the lowest levels possible. In another interview conducted with the activist Binyamin Machlev, the latter related how the persecutors of Rabbi Berland shlit"a lie at the entrance to the hospital where Rabbi Berland shlit"a is recovering from a difficult surgery; they identify themselves as his students and create chaos inside the hospital.

Their entire goal is to stain the name of the students of Shuvu Banim and create the impression that they do not obey the instructions of the Prison Service and the Police, thereby causing Rabbi Berland to be returned to the detention center in the middle of such critical medical treatment.

It is simply amazing in its wickedness; they do not care about causing irreversible sorrow and damage to a holy Tzaddik who has already reached the age of over eighty years—all to satisfy their lust for persecution and destruction. Let everyone who sits on the sidelines and does not protest know: in the meantime, Hashem (God) allows the world to err, for there is free will in the world. However, the moment that, Heaven forbid, the matter ends and we once again lose the Geulah (Redemption), as has happened throughout the history of the Jewish people, then Hashem will settle the account with all the persecutors and those sitting on the sidelines. This is not a prophecy of doom, but rather an uncomplicated study of the pages of the history of the Jewish people.

Laban and Esau persecuted Jacob; later the brothers refused to accept Joseph. Moses our Teacher was persecuted by Korach and 250 heads of the Sanhedrin, if it were not enough that all the people thought him to be an adulterer who cast his eyes upon their wives (Midrashim and Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin). King David was humiliated all the days of his life. We will skip over the generations and mention the terrible dispute against the holy Baal Shem Tov and against his holy grandson, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov.

It is no wisdom to come several generations later and say, "Oy, I wish I had lived in the generation of Moses our Teacher and King David," for even then there was a very great test of dispute. Thank God that Hashem is slow to anger, yet immunity does not last forever; one must wake up quickly before it is too late, because the Tzaddik is already post-complicated surgery and these wicked people continue to persecute him with great ugliness.

The Nazis, after they murdered, took giant steamrollers and forced fathers and mothers to grind the bones of their family members. But one of the identifying signs of a Jew is that they are merciful, so what is happening here? You do not want to be Chassidim of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a? The loss is entirely yours. But enough, move on, continue forward and leave us alone. We beg of you, let us continue to serve Hashem, because we see upon ourselves how much good we have received from being in the presence of this awesome Tzaddik.

Who among you draws close, or can grant his students holiness and Shmiras HaBris (guarding the holy covenant) like we have received all these years from Rabbi Berland shlit"a? Who among you can build generations of servants of Hashem who sacrifice themselves for rising for Chatzos (midnight prayer) and prayers with strength, with melody, at length, and with complete intent? What are you even talking about? It is evident that you do not care about anyone else and you are willing to bury thousands of families under the earth just to satisfy your lust for revenge and blood.

You disputed Moses, Joseph, and Rebbe [Nachman] in all previous incarnations, and now you continue to drip and sow destruction in every good plot. After all, if Rabbi Berland did not exist, none of you would even look at the tens of thousands that Rabbi Berland shlit"a sacrificed his soul to bring close [to God].
