"My Books Cleanse the World" - Words of the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

The esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a recently called and in a private conversation with one of his prominent students, he wished to convey an important message to those who listen to his teachings. These are the words the Rabbi asked to convey.
"Such a wonderful holiday is approaching, the holiday of Shavuot, I wrote the wonderful book of commentary on the Book of Ruth in its honor." The Rabbi asked rhetorically, "Do people even know what Shavuot is? There is a clear halacha in the Shulchan Aruch, 'Thirty days before the festival, one should inquire and expound on the laws of the festival' (the Gemara at the end of Tractate Megillah [32a] states: 'And Moses declared the appointed times of Hashem to the children of Israel, it is a mitzvah for them to read them each in its time. The Rabbis taught: Moses instituted for Israel that they should inquire and expound on the matters of the day, the laws of Passover on Passover, the laws of Atzeret on Atzeret, the laws of the festival on the festival')."
"People think that the night of Shavuot is a white night, they think the whole point is not to sleep at night, they have a picnic, they talk, crack nuts, they think the whole point is to eat dairy foods, to eat ice cream. This night is such a holy night, they don't know that Naomi is the pleasantness of Hashem, the pleasantness of the Torah, the pleasantness of prayer."
"The night of Shavuot is Ruth who quenched Hashem with her prayers, she followed the tzaddik, she followed Elimelech, the Rabbi explains in the book every single thing (Rabbi Berland speaks about himself), every single verse, what is Boaz, what is Elimelech - open my book and learn everything. People are waiting to reach Shavuot and learn from my book, but this is not the Tikkun Leil Shavuot, it prepares you to understand what Shavuot is. One must come prepared for Shavuot, to know what Boaz is, Boaz is boldness against the sitra achra, one must fight and subdue the sitra achra - 'Boaz', he has such boldness of kedushah."
Rabbi Berland continued in the conversation, "Do you want to know who Boaz is? Read in the book, Boaz is the tzaddik! Do you want to understand who the tzaddik is? The tzaddik is all Torah and prayer, this is King David whose yahrzeit is now on Shavuot, he quenched Hashem with his prayers. King David all day did Hitbodedut, sang, played music for Hashem."
Rabbi Berland explicitly requested that we spread this holy book, he told me, "It is important that people know there is such a book in the world - this book will cleanse all impurity and all judgments from the world. There are such judgments and impurities in the world, but my books and writings, the teachings and prayers, cleanse and purify all the judgments and impurities from the world."
Thus far the words of our teacher, the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.
