Shocking: Rabbi Nachman Horowitz Two Minutes Before He Collapsed in the

We ask all of the People of Israel to increase in prayers and Tikkun HaKlali (The General Rectification) for the healing of the pious Rabbi, Rabbi Nachman Horowitz shlit"a (may he live long and good days), one of the greatest Breslov Mashpi'im (spiritual influencers) of our generation, the eldest son of Reb Shabtai Horowitz and the grandson of Rabbi Shmuel Horowitz zt"l (of blessed memory), one of the greatest Breslov Chassidim from the "Generation of Knowledge."

The full name for prayer - Rabbi Eliyahu Nachman ben Serach Miriam Gitel.

We present to you a recording of Rabbi Nachman Horowitz just two minutes before he collapsed at the Tziyun (tomb) of the Rashbi (Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai) on the eve of the Hillula (anniversary of passing) on Lag BaOmer. Also, shocking sights of the moments of terror where Rabbi Horowitz fought with all his strength so that the police would open the barriers for the public of worshippers.

In the recording, Rabbi Nachman Horowitz describes what was happening in the courtyard of the Rashbi; some say the police dispersed tear gas there and then he immediately collapsed. Here is the recording before you:

"Gentlemen, it is literally a war. The police removed all the women, now the men are fighting; they aren't letting anyone enter. People are practicing mesirus nefesh (self-sacrifice). We need to pray. Someone said that if there is Meron on Lag BaOmer, there will be Uman on Rosh Hashanah. Cry out to Hashem (God), pray."

"People here are practicing mesirus nefesh (self-sacrifice), literally. We don't understand what is happening here, what is going on? What do they want? Rather, I said to someone, the fact that people are sitting outside... what is the point? Why won't they let us pray? May Hashem help for the sake of His holy Name."

"It wasn't for nothing that my grandfather (Rabbi Shmuel Horowitz zt"l, one of the great Breslov Chassidim of the previous generation) used to say, 'Meron, Meron is Rosh Hashanah'."

"Look, now I am approaching here... but what can we do, they aren't letting us enter, they aren't letting us enter, they aren't letting us enter. It is truly terrible and awful, they are stopping people by force... May Hashem help..."
