Just Before Purim, This is How the Megillah Reading Looked Then: A Grand Event of Megillah Reading with the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

The 14th of Adar 5778 comes to a close, the Purim of unwalled cities ends, and the light begins to shine on the walled cities, especially on the city of our Holy Temple, may Jerusalem be rebuilt and established. The study hall of the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a is bustling and teeming with students waiting for the Rav shlit"a to ascend and read the Megillah. One can hear the Megillah reading in many other gatherings, but none of those present are willing to miss the privilege of hearing the Megillah from the mouth of the Rav shlit"a, who is likened to an angel of Hashem of Hosts.

Everyone crowds into the sacred interior, masses inside and hundreds more in the courtyard nearby, drawing a little closer to the Rav's platform, to the privilege of enhancing this precious and beloved mitzvah of hearing the Megillah from the mouth of the tzaddik, the foundation of the world, Rav Berland shlit"a. We are pleased to bring you the holy sights directly from the study hall of the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a during the Megillah reading, the night of the 15th of Adar 5778, Jerusalem, the prophet Iddo, the third wall.
