Listen: Rabbi Avraham Chananya shlit"a - The Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland. Redemption Depends on Faith in the Tzaddik

Rabbi Avraham Chananya shlit"a, one of the veteran students of the righteous Rabbi Eliezer shlit"a, has merited for decades to be among the first of his students. Rabbi Avraham is known for his strengthening words of Torah and his great love for our teacher, the righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. Here are some of his words.

The righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a brought the words of Rabbi Natan, according to which the tzaddik is responsible for all the worlds, certainly for this lowly world in which we find ourselves, but in our lowly understanding, the light of the tzaddik is obscured for us. We constantly ask: What about the Rav? We should ask: What about us, how has the light of the tzaddik been obscured for us? May we merit to listen to the voice of the tzaddik and understand that in truth the tzaddik suffers only for our sake.

Everything the tzaddik goes through is only to awaken us, so that we truly begin to serve Hashem, therefore we need to pray for this a lot. Rabbi Natan writes that redemption and the coming of Mashiach depend on faith in the tzaddik. Therefore, we need to ask for this thousands of times a day. For our holy Rebbe says that among the 48 ways to acquire the Torah, faith in the sages is the most important. And this is what the Rav wants, that we merit to listen to his words, not to deviate from them to the right or to the left. To believe that all the actions of the tzaddik are deep secrets and mysteries. For example, once when the Rav traveled to the USA, he said he had a thousand intentions in doing so. The tzaddik has a thousand intentions in every action of his. Therefore, Rebbe Nachman says that the sweetening of the collective intellect on Rosh Hashanah is through the faith that all the actions of the tzaddik are mysteries.

There is nothing that the tzaddik cannot save us from, a suitable match, children, and livelihood. Rabbi Natan writes that the tzaddik is a fountain of salvation that never ceases. Our Rebbe Nachman says that the tzaddik is a treasure of fear of Heaven, but unfortunately, we have not yet taken anything from there. All the losses are with the tzaddik, but it needs to be truly revealed that everything is with the tzaddik. For Hashem is infinite, but the revelation of Hashem to the world is through the tzaddik. And our task is to pray for this, that this light will shine for us.

To say Tikkun HaKlali for the Rav, to give a redemption offering for his success. Because the tzaddik gives, he does not receive, and where we sacrifice ourselves and give, there he can influence us and the goodness of a person is revealed. I have a friend to whom the Rav said: "Every thousand dollars you give me, you will receive ten thousand dollars." Indeed, he gave five thousand and merited to receive fifty thousand dollars. Because the tzaddik is more of a giver than a taker. We need to pray that we will not be stingy.

May Hashem grant us the merit of faith in the tzaddikim, that the tzaddik will be revealed to us and to all of Israel, and may we merit complete redemption speedily in our days, Amen.
