A Holy Call from the Esteemed Rav Shlomo Elmalich shlit"a to Participate in the Prayer and Protest Assembly Before the Return of Our Teacher, the Esteemed Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, to Prison. Rav Elmalich Conveys the Message of Rav Shimon Badani shlit"a on the Obligation to Attend the Assembly

"To all our dear community members, greetings... We, the rabbis of the Shuvu Banim community, have decided to hold a prayer and protest assembly on the night before our teacher, Rav Berland, God willing, will not be imprisoned."

Today, Wednesday 27/10/21 at 21:00, we will all gather, students and faithful of our teacher, the esteemed Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, for a prayer and protest assembly to annul the terrible intention of imprisoning the Rav shlit"a this coming Thursday.

"We ask all our community members across the country to attend this very important assembly."

"Yesterday, I was at the lesson of Rav Shimon Badani shlit"a and I told him that our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a is going to be imprisoned. Rav Badani was struck with alarm. I asked him if he could attend the assembly, and he said he would try with all his might."

"As is known, it is difficult to hear and understand Rav Badani, and he asked me to write down the words he says in his name. This is the message from Rav Shimon Badani for the assembly for Rav Berland: It is obligatory to participate in the prayer assembly to save the righteous Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, who is in a very difficult situation. If he returns to prison, it is truly a life-threatening danger and could endanger his life. Therefore, it is obligatory for every Jew to participate in the prayer and protest assembly in front of the prison walls in Ramla on Wednesday night, to sweeten all the judgments."

"With the blessing of the Torah, Rav Shimon Badani."

"This is what Rav Badani asked to convey - he had tears in his eyes."

"I intend, with Hashem's help, to go today also to Rav Amos Guetta shlit"a (the elder of the kabbalists in our generation), Rav Sheinfeld shlit"a is also supposed to participate in the assembly, we are in contact with the Admor of Spinka shlit"a who, with Hashem's help, will participate in the assembly. And more, Rav Stern from Bnei Brak..."

"We ask all our community members to come, the situation is very difficult and not simple, we have no one to rely on but our Father in Heaven, it is obligatory for everyone to come."

"And with Hashem's help, we will also set up protest tents there as long as our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a is there. We will hold lessons, prayers, daily study, Tikkun HaKlali, the community rabbis will come down to give lessons there, we must at least make this effort."

"May Hashem see our affliction, ignite our hearts, and redeem us with a complete redemption speedily in our days, Amen."
