Letter from Our Teacher Rav Berland shlit"a from the Hospital to Strengthen the

A letter of encouragement to all the bachurim and avreichim of Shuvu Banim, may Hashem grant them long life.

"It is a time of trouble for Jacob, but from it he shall be saved."

Now that the Rav is not present at all the prayers, which is the most difficult time the Yeshiva has known since the dawn of time, this is the time to strengthen ourselves with double the energy, might, and fortitude, and to increase the soldiers for the Torah, for the testimony, and for the prayers of the Rav, and to spread them throughout the entire land and the world, just as Isaiah said to King Ahaz, 'Behold, I and the children whom Hashem has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel.' Through this, there will be no foothold for any external forces in our holy Yeshiva, which is already the beginning of the Geulah and the drawing near of the Geulah, and a preparation for the Holy Temple and the revelation of Mashiach ben David, who will come speedily in our days, Amen, Netzach, Selah, Va'ed.

With the blessing of the Torah,

and in the merit of our holy and awesome Rebbe,

Your faithful servant,

Eliezer Berland
