Just Before Purim, This is How the Megillah Reading Looked Then

The 14th of Adar 5778 draws to a close; Purim in the unwalled cities ends, and the light begins to shine upon the walled cities, first and foremost upon the city of our Holy Temple, Jerusalem, may it be built and established. The study hall of His Holiness, the Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, is bustling and surging with students waiting for the Rav shlit"a to ascend and read the Megillah. One can hear the Megillah reading in many other minyanim, but none of those present are willing to miss the merit of hearing the Megillah from the mouth of the Rav shlit"a, who is likened to an angel of Hashem Tzevaot.

Everyone crowds into the inner sanctum; multitudes are inside and hundreds more are in the courtyard nearby, drawing a little closer to the Rav’s dais, to the merit of beautifying this commandment, which is so precious and beloved, of hearing the Megillah from the mouth of the tzaddik, the foundation of the world, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a. We are happy to bring before you the holy sights directly from the study hall of the Tzaddik, Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, during the reading of the Megillah, the night of the 15th of Adar 5778, Jerusalem, Ido HaNavi, the Third Wall.
