Shocking. Listen: The Heart is Bleeding. Words of Rabbi Yekutiel P. shlit"a on the Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

"Mo'adim LeSimcha, the conclusion of the first day of Pesach 5776. There are things we have anticipated and hoped for, and we still anticipate and hope that others will say them, but since we have not yet heard others say them, in the meantime, I will say them. Baruch Hashem, we all merited to celebrate the holiday of Pesach with simcha, each in his place and each man in his kingdom. However, it must be known that the heart is bleeding, that one of the tzaddikim of the generation, one of the greats of Israel, renowned for decades, has been sent and thrown into prison in South Africa into a two-meter cell without toilets, for several days now. We do not know when he will leave there, he is suffering terrible afflictions, and at his age, nearing eighty, this situation poses a danger and a matter of life and death, and no one is speaking. The heart aches over this. After I said a few good words for him, I was astonished by the messages I received; everyone has already judged him, everyone already knows what he is guilty of and what he did, may Hashem protect and save.

After hearing that the esteemed Kabbalist Rabbi Morgenstern shlit"a said he investigated this matter himself and examined it in detail, and it is all lies and a vile slander. Such things are also heard from Rabbi David Abuhatzeira of Nahariya, that it is all a vile slander, and similarly from the great tzaddik Rabbi Chaim Stern and Rabbi Arush shlit"a and other tzaddikim. And everyone has already judged and already knows, and it is all based on someone who climbed to the third floor from the outside and claims to have seen what he saw. This whole climbing indicates something very dubious. And we suspect and believe, I am not familiar with the details of the matter, and it does not interest me, we have a clear halacha. It is forbidden to accept lashon hara about any Jew, and certainly not about a tzaddik of the generation. Especially as it is written, if you see a tzaddik who committed a sin, do not think ill of him because he certainly did teshuvah at night. Especially such a tzaddik from the first rank of the tzaddikim of the generation, and we are silent. It must be known that this is the pain of the Shechinah, and we must participate in the pain of the tzaddik. To say Tehillim for the success of Rabbi Eliezer Berland ben Attia shlit"a, to learn for his success, and even to think and participate in his pain. To know that this is the pain of the Shechinah, a person who took upon himself the afflictions of shame as the tzaddikim of the generation said about him. And this does not mean that we need to agree with it and fuel the fire, we need to protest.

The Rishon LeZion Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu zt"l already said before his passing that Mashiach was supposed to come several years ago, but he was supposed to come with judgment. He said that three tzaddikim took upon themselves afflictions to delay the redemption for several years and to sweeten it. He mentioned two of them, one of whom is Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a and the other Rabbi Dov Kook shlit"a. One hint is his name – Berland, which means 'Land of the Bear'. We see that in recent years the Persians have been threatening us with terrible threats, and for several years we have been surrounded by nuclear threats. It is known that the root from which the Persian nation draws is the bear, and their root in the heavens according to the Gemara is called Dobi-El, and according to the Gra, also of the Russian nation. And they draw from a tzaddik, there is no doubt that Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a is one of them. We see that in recent years he has been suffering such afflictions, exile, and terrible shame. And whoever does not connect the dots is a fool, that there is a tzaddik who himself stops the disaster and who himself stops the atomic bombs, as he himself speaks about it. Although no one hears, but one can see with their eyes that his name is Eliezer, a name of kindness, that helps. As he said on the night of the Fast of Esther: "Go and make a prayer assembly to stop the Intifada", they went and did, and immediately the Intifada stopped. After half a year without a day without killings, can one stand against this? Can one remain silent in the face of everything that is said?! Woe to us from the Day of Judgment, woe to us from the Day of Rebuke.

I repeat and say clear things that I heard from Rabbi Gobo Yisrael Meir shlit"a, who is a study partner and very close to Rabbi Morgenstern shlit"a, who investigated with all the people who complained. Afterwards, he sat on all the material one by one and saw that it is all lies and deceit, and according to Torah law, there is no

validity and it is forbidden to believe anything. The esteemed Kabbalist Rabbi Morgenstern also published a letter in which he wrote that even if Rabbi Berland shlit"a writes a letter incriminating himself, it is forbidden to believe him, because one must recognize his way of serving Hashem, that he draws upon himself disgrace, afflictions, and incomprehensible things, all for the sake of the Jewish people. And it is known that twenty-five years ago he told his wife that he was going to establish institutions for twenty-five years and then he would dismantle everything, and he asked her if she agreed to this. And many years ago, he said about himself that a harsh decree of exile was upon him, and he even composed a prayer for people to pray for him. Even now, it is known that he told those close to him – "On Pesach I will be in prison". There is a young man who testified before one of the tzaddikim that Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a himself gave him a large sum of money to go and publish corruption and lies about him that he supposedly did. That young man did not agree, and Rabbi Berland shlit"a told him that he would suffer afflictions, the young man said he did not care, whatever happens, he would not do it. We see from here that there is a great tzaddik who takes upon himself matters, and no one understands what is happening here. God forbid, it is forbidden to think anything about him.

Rabbi Shalom Arush shlit"a testified that he began to take actions with the rabbinical court for the rabbi shlit"a, but immediately he received a message from the rabbi himself to cease. And we remember that before his departure into exile, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a said that now he is going into exile for three years, and afterwards, there will be, with Hashem's help, the complete redemption. And we see that things are reaching a point that has not been until now. We are expecting the beginning of the redemption, to see the righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland healthy, alive, and whole, here, rejoicing with us in the coming of our righteous Mashiach speedily in our days, Amen.
