Majestic: The Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a Accompanied by Thousands on

After the arrival of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a to the holy city of Uman on the morning of Thursday, Parshat Nitzavim 5778, the Rav went out later that day for Mincha and Maariv prayers.

Rav Berland shlit"a was surrounded by a tight ring of security due to the crushing crowd and the multitude of people who tried to get close to him. All along the way from his home to the holy gravesite, the Rav was accompanied by tens of thousands of admirers who sang to him and encouraged him. Upon his arrival at the gravesite, Rav Berland prostrated himself on the holy gravesite and immediately began the Mincha prayer, followed by the Maariv prayer, together with the entire congregation.

The sight was moving, as the tens of thousands sang the prayer together with the Rav, shaking the walls of the holy gravesite of Rebbe Nachman.
