Moments Before the Mass Assembly in Hebron

Just hours before the gathering of tens of thousands at the Cave of the Patriarchs, a gathering of prayer and awakening for the people of Israel, we bring you the words of the esteemed Rabbi Ofer Erez shlit"a. "It has been a long time since we heard the Rav (the holy and righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a) express himself in such a powerful way. After seeing everything happening today in the people of Israel, all the dangers from within and without that are awakening and rising to come upon the world, we can somewhat understand the words of Rav Berland shlit"a. There is no doubt that the Rav spoke in such a sharp manner regarding the prayer assembly in Hebron that he said, 'My very life depends on this.' Certainly, there is a matter that we should merit that tens of thousands of the people of Israel from all walks of life will come to the assembly.

"There are several things regarding the assembly that together are very powerful. First of all, the matter of midnight, which is a time of 'Et Ratzon' (a time of Divine favor) capable of bringing about salvations. It is written in the holy books that this is the time of the general redemption. The place where the assembly is held, the Cave of the Patriarchs, is the gate for all prayers. The time, the night of 'Zot Chanukah,' is when all the lights shine; everything follows 'Zot Chanukah.' In Chanukah, the aspect of the hidden light is revealed, the light that can sweeten all judgments and draw souls closer to Hashem.

"If we merit to read the entire Book of Psalms and recite the Tikkun HaKlali, there is no doubt that it is possible to nullify all decrees, both generally and individually. I hear that there is a tremendous awakening surrounding the matter of this prayer, just as we see that recently Rav Berland has been performing tremendous actions that we do not even understand the extent of. There is no doubt that all of this is for the sake of all Israel. May we merit that an assembly of tens of thousands of all the souls of Israel will take place, and through this, all judgments will be sweetened from above the people of Israel, and we will merit the Geulah with mercy and kindness.
