Rabbi David Grossman in the Name of Rabbi Shechter

Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman shlit"a, Rabbi of Migdal HaEmek and head of the national "Migdal Ohr" educational network, issues a resolute statement against all the rumors regarding the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. "I spoke personally with Rabbi Yankel Meir Schechter and he informed me unequivocally that he is praying for Rav Berland that he succeeds; he is in great pain over everything that has happened and we must quickly forget this whole matter. Rabbi Schechter requested that I announce through me that he is not part of this controversy."

The words of Rabbi Grossman come after a criminal group, which shamelessly persecutes Rav Berland shlit"a, raised the bar of their actions and began publishing false statements in the name of famous rabbis from the Breslov community. These vile people make false claims in the name of those rabbis, even though those rabbis do not cooperate with them. Now, Rabbi Grossman is publishing clear words in the name of Rabbi Schechter in an attempt to reduce the great damage caused by this evil sect.
