The Divine Inspiration of the Esteemed Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a - Knew the Whereabouts of the Missing Person After 15 Years

A remarkable story told by the gabbai Natan Solomon about the divine inspiration of the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a in front of the audience that gathered for the sacred gathering on Thursday night at the 'Nachlei Netzach' yeshiva.

"In Bat Yam, I had the privilege to witness the divine inspiration of our teacher, the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. We arrived at the home of a family burdened with suffering, and the mother there wrote a letter to the Rav shlit"a. She recounted that the moment they immigrated to Eretz Yisrael, their son disappeared from the country, and for 15 years they had no contact with him. She also mentioned that the family had consulted many rabbis regarding their son, but the matter had not progressed."

"In the morning, after the vatikin prayer with our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a, I handed the Rav the mother's letter and another letter from a different family I had met the previous night. The letters were sealed with glue when I presented them to the Rav, and behold, a wonder, without opening the letters, the Rav said about the letter of the disabled person, 'For the healing of this person, you need to go and study with him twice a week for two weeks from the book 'Tanna D'vei Eliyahu,' and then he will have salvation in his legs.'"

"And the Rav shlit"a further added, still without opening the letters, 'Come to me on Motzei Shabbat, and I will tell you where the child who disappeared 15 years ago for the family is.' I arrived on Motzei Shabbat, and the Rav gave me the address in the USA, it turned out that the child had cast off the yoke and was therefore ashamed of his traditional family and fled the country. Now he is married to a non-Jewish woman and has five children with her. The Rav indeed gave them the address but qualified his words by telling the family that their child does not wish to see them."

The family nonetheless traveled to meet the lost son, but it happened exactly as Rav Berland said, the son did not want to see them and even called the police on his family.

"For me, it was the first time I witnessed the divine inspiration of our teacher, the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. How the Rav knows what is written in the letter without reading it, or even opening it. And also, the precise and accurate answers of the Rav shlit"a, truly by a hair's breadth."

"The second letter was from a disabled person whose leg muscles would seize every few hours. Following my study with him, as Rav Berland shlit"a instructed us, there was an improvement in his condition, with the relief from the pain significantly increasing."
