Protest in Front of Tzalmon Prison Against the Terrible Treatment of the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a
Tuesday, 25th of Iyar 5780 - 101 days since the imprisonment of the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.
Gentlemen - do not stand idly by your teacher's blood.
In light of disturbing rumors coming from Tzalmon Prison about the unjust treatment of our teacher, the Rabbi shlit"a, we must rise and protest.
Indeed, we must continue to protest against the criminal negligence by those responsible for the kosher lines in the kosher sector, who continue to support and maintain a line full of disputes and slander - a line full of persecutions and betrayals under the guise of mitzvot.
Indeed, we must protest against the injustice and wickedness of the judicial system in Israel, which has kept a tzaddik and elderly person at severe health risk in prison for over three months, without any proven guilt, only based on rumors, lies, and fake reports in the media.
Indeed, we must protest against the silence of the Torah world towards the ongoing abuse and terrible miscarriage of justice against the esteemed Rabbi Berland shlit"a and the terrible persecutions against his community.
However, right now, it is upon us to protest against the Prison Service authorities allowing disrespectful and derogatory treatment of our teacher, the Rabbi shlit"a.
If we demonstrate public strength and community power against the harassment and inappropriate treatment by the Prison Service authorities, it is likely that this will cause all the factors in the prison to be careful and respectful towards our teacher, the Rabbi shlit"a.
Therefore, it is obligatory for each of the Rabbi's students shlit"a to join a one-time protest to send a clear and sharp message to the Prison Service authorities and other inmates, and to set a clear red line regarding the treatment of our teacher, the Rabbi shlit"a, who is imprisoned without any wrongdoing.
Since these are particularly hot summer days, we will hold the protest in the evening and night hours.
This coming Thursday marks the early Rosh Chodesh of the month of Sivan. It is a day of rare and known segulah to pray for the education of children at the grave of the Shelah HaKadosh in Tiberias.
This is a special opportunity to combine a proven and special segulah for success in children's education with a protest to preserve the honor of our teacher, the Rabbi shlit"a.
On Thursday, buses will depart from Shivtei Yisrael Street at 3:30 PM for Mincha prayer in Tiberias at the grave of the Shelah HaKadosh.
Afterwards, we will all head towards Tzalmon Prison for Maariv prayer and the recitation of Tikkun HaKlali and a protest in front of the prison gates against the Prison Service authorities - meeting at Tzalmon at 8:30 PM.
After about an hour and a half, around 10:00 PM, we will return to Jerusalem - estimated arrival time at 1:00 AM.
We call upon all supporters, admirers, students, and chassidim of Rav Berland from all over the country to join us at the gates of Tzalmon Prison on Thursday night at 8:30 PM to protect and preserve the honor of the tzaddik of the generation.
Due to coronavirus restrictions, the travel cost will be 100 NIS per passenger - if there is a relaxation in regulations allowing more passengers on the bus, the price will be significantly reduced.
Additionally, buses will also depart from Bnei Brak and Kiryat Sefer. Pre-registration is mandatory so that we can prepare accordingly.
