The Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Bernstein zt"l on Rabbi Berland shlit"a

"Rabbi Berland shlit"a was a man of great emunah (faith) and great bitachon (trust) even back then. He never reported to the recruitment office. It was a great wonder; there is no explanation for it. They would put him on the list of those who needed to travel, and afterward, the Rosh Yeshiva (head of the yeshiva) would receive a notice that Rabbi Berland shlit"a didn't show up at all," so said the Rosh Yeshiva of 'Knesseth Hezekiah - Kfar Hasidim,' the Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Bernstein zt"l, who studied in the yeshiva in Kfar Hasidim, regarding the holy Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

The Rosh Yeshiva of 'Knesseth Hezekiah - Kfar Hasidim,' the Gaon Rabbi Yitzchak Bernstein zt"l, who studied in the yeshiva in Kfar Hasidim with the holy Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, spoke in an interview with 'Kav HaMeida' (the information line) about his years of study with Rabbi Berland shlit"a in the yeshiva.

"He was a man of great emunah (faith) and great bitachon (trust) even back then. He never reported to the recruitment office. It was a great wonder; there is no explanation for it. They would put him on the list of those who needed to travel, and afterward, the Rosh Yeshiva would receive a notice that Rabbi Berland shlit"a didn't show up at all. He [the Rosh Yeshiva] would give him a note, and the Rav would throw it in the trash."

"When the Rav shlit"a would recite Shir HaShirim (Song of Songs) in the afternoon, it was something to hear. They said about him and saw in him already in the yeshiva that he would become a Rav. He sat and studied with great diligence. I was also at the Rav shlit"a's wedding."
