The Grand Hilula in the Courtyard of Shuvu Banim with the Esteemed Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a - All the Holy Sights

Until now, we did not want to involve the general public in the disturbing battle that has recently unfolded against the tzaddik, the foundation of the world, the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. While entire streets in Jerusalem are closed due to the construction of sukkot, as is customary during the week of the Sukkot festival, specifically the sukkah of Rav Berland shlit"a was not granted permission to be built. This bordered on outright persecution, leaving onlookers with nothing to say but to be shocked by the painful reality.

So, what led us to write about it after all? Yesterday, the night of Thursday during the intermediate days of Sukkot, the giant sukkah of Rav Berland and the Shuvu Banim community was finally built in honor of the hilula of the holy light, the tzaddik, the foundation of the world, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov. Then, in a swift act of great self-sacrifice, the sukkah was constructed within a few hours, immediately attracting a huge crowd of visitors.

Ashkenazim and Sephardim, Litvaks and chassidim, known tzaddikim and rabbis alongside the entire Jewish people, all gathered and came. It was then possible to understand why there were so many obstacles and difficulties in building the tzaddik's sukkah, for such an event brings thousands of Jews closer to their Father in Heaven, and the evil inclination simply cannot tolerate it.

In the presence of the masses, the joy of the yahrzeit of Rebbe Nachman of Breslov was celebrated, while the magnificent orchestra played and various singers took the stage to sing. Thousands danced together with the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. Hearts beat with emotion and minds connected in a fiery flame to the source of kedushah (holiness) through the power of the songs and holy dances.

The esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a danced all night on the stage along with the broad public, who came and went from time to time. The large crowd danced on the sukkah floor in circles of holiness, while the rest of the public leaped with enthusiasm on the benches. Fortunate is he who merited to participate in this unforgettable event.
