The festival of Simchat Torah passed for the followers of the esteemed tzaddik with a great feeling of elevation. After on the night of the festival the rabbi shlit"a arrived with thousands of his followers at the Western Wall and conducted the hakafot there, the rabbi continued the festival journeys even during the day. The rabbi embarked on a grand Kiddush Hashem tour through the streets of Jerusalem, followed by a long and full procession of celebrants. For two whole hours, the masses marched with Rav Berland shlit"a with the Torah scrolls in their hands.

The sight was unimaginable, thousands of chassidim and men of action sanctifying the name of Heaven as they walked with the holy books along the city's streets.

Then came the conclusion of the festival and with it the highlight, masses gathered together at the giant sukkah of the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a on Choma HaShlishit Street. Everyone waited in anticipation for the emergence of the tzaddik, the foundation of the world, as in the background the orchestra played a moving holy flame, sweeping the masses with it.

Until the light of dawn, the joy of the Torah continued on the night of the second hakafot after the festival. The sukkah of the rabbi shlit"a was packed to the brim, but due to the bonding of hearts, the crowding was not felt. Rav Berland shlit"a danced on the stage with the masses dancing before him along with the Torah scrolls.
