Rabbi Eliyahu Abisror's Sharp Message Against the Pursuers and Slanderers of the Esteemed Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

In the past week, Rabbi Eliyahu Abisror shlit"a, the rabbi of the Neve Yaakov neighborhood in Jerusalem, issued a sharp message against the pursuers of the esteemed tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

Rabbi Abisror's statement was preceded by a malicious episode from those relentless pursuers. After Rabbi Berland visited the Neve Yaakov neighborhood, he met with Rabbi Abisror at his home. There, they spoke words of Torah, and it was evident on Rabbi Abisror's face that he was enjoying the words and the occasion.

The pursuers of Rabbi Berland, unable to tolerate another rabbi being in contact with Rabbi Berland, began to plot a dark scheme. They approached Rabbi Abisror with lies and recorded him - of course, they later edited the words and took them out of context.

After Rabbi Abisror became aware of this, he was interviewed by the Breslov World Line, and he declared unequivocally that he does not agree with the statements and that he has nothing against Rabbi Berland shlit"a.

These are his words.

"I did not speak or slander Rabbi Berland, I recognize him and have heard good things about him."

"I heard that he is a righteous Jew who prays and is meticulous in mitzvot. I also cannot speak against him, he is a righteous Jew and should be encouraged and supported."

"Everything being said is slander that is not dependent on me, they mentioned my name, but it is not related to me at all."

"I greatly appreciate Rabbi Berland and hold him in high esteem. We sat at my home and he spoke words of Torah. His words are pleasant, he also continued afterward in the synagogue, everything was wonderful and good - God forbid to speak against him."

"One must rebuke those who speak against him, it is forbidden to speak against Rabbi Berland."

"Rabbi Berland is invited to us again on another Motzei Shabbat, he should come with a whole bus and we will give him a place, the synagogue."
