"It’s clear that something is taking shape in Israel connected to the Geulah."

"I have nothing to say regarding the situation of the holy Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, other than what the tzaddikim say; I heard this from many great tzaddikim. We are talking about a holy of holies Jew, who all his days is attached to Hashem. Who am I to tell of this? We all see, we all have seen; if only I could have even a fraction of a fraction of what the Rav shlit"a has learned in Torah." These words were spoken with pain by Rabbi Yosef Berger shlit"a, the Rabbi of the Tomb of King David.

"No one can grasp his attainments in Torah, in the toil of Torah, in attachment to Hashem, in hours of prayer, of hitbodedut. It is clear that something is happening here, only we do not know exactly what, but it is clear that this holy of holies Jew is performing actions related to the Geulah of the people of Israel. It is clear that something is being woven here with the people of Israel. Therefore, we must know that with the help of Heaven, everything the Rav shlit"a is going through is for the sake of the holy people of Israel. Even if there is currently a concealment of the face and we do not exactly understand what is happening. There are evildoers who attribute such bad things to him, and it is clear to me that everything is a lie and a falsehood, because we must believe that every Jew is presumed righteous, and especially a tzaddik whom we know has occupied himself all his days with Torah and service."

"We are forbidden to believe lashon hara at all, especially since it is clear by the way of nature to be a lie. And those people who speak against the Rav shlit"a, and also those who opened an impure hotline to speak against him - they are the sitra achra - this is the evil inclination trying to cast aspersions on faith in the Sages. What did we think, that Hashem would bring Mashiach ben David without any test? Hashem is testing the people of Israel, testing to see who will cling to faith in the Sages. It is very simple to believe and cling to Torah scholars when everything is fine; the test is when people speak about them and try to cast aspersions on Torah scholars, and despite everything, not to waver and to remain in faith."

"Certainly there are things here that we do not understand, and therefore, Heaven forbid for anyone who speaks; Hashem is testing the people of Israel to see who will cling to Hashem despite all the humiliations. It is as clear as the midday sun to me that there are secrets here that we cannot understand now, but surely one day the truth will be revealed. We have nothing to do but walk in simple faith and cling to Torah scholars. We see this holy of holies Jew who, even in prison, toils all day in Torah; we must take a moral lesson from this and cling to the holy Torah and try to emulate his Torah. Anyone who speaks is an agent of the evil inclination trying to inject venom and destruction into the people of Israel, to incite them away from the simple faith we received from generation to generation. To incite them away from believing in Torah scholars, in servants of Hashem - it is forbidden to believe lashon hara."
