Listen: Rabbi Yekutiel Fish from Sod HaChashmal on the War of the Sitra Achra Against the Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

There is no doubt that the suffering endured by the great and righteous genius, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, is for all of us, for the Shechinah. It pained me greatly when I told one of the heads of the yeshivas about the situation of the genius Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, and he responded dismissively, saying, "What does it matter to me? Who cares?!" I replied, "Just because he is the leader of tens of thousands of families who are not from your circle, does that mean you won't pray, feel the pain, and treat it dismissively? Where have we come to?! We see in the Gemara Gittin (57b) how significant and severe in Heaven is the issue of the killing of the prophet Zechariah, the suffering of a tzaddik of Israel. Young men and maidens of Israel were slaughtered to quiet his blood, and still, his blood was boiling. We see that the suffering of the tzaddik is beyond our comprehension and is dreadful and terrible. The Sitra Achra fights with all its might to subdue the stature of kedushah, especially against such a tzaddik who has brought many to teshuvah." And the Sitra Achra fights against such tzaddikim more than other tzaddikim, because it knows that if it, God forbid, undermines their name and tarnishes it in the eyes of the world, then their words will not be heard, and there will be no more baalei teshuvah.
