The Great Shabbat of Unity for the Avrechim of the Holy Breslov Shuvu Banim
Students of the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

"I say with tears that there hasn't been a Shabbat like this in 30 years. What organization, everything was truly supernatural. All the tzaddikim arrived for the Unity Shabbat: Rabbi Shalom Arush shlit"a, Rabbi Moshe Tzanani shlit"a, Rabbi Shmuel Stern shlit"a, and Rabbi Meir Saada shlit"a, who delivered words of Torah, and we were strengthened together through prayers."
"And as they afflicted him, so he multiplied and so he spread" (Exodus 1:12) - A thousand people arrived for the Unity Shabbat in Meron.
This is how Rabbi Nachman Biton shlit"a summarizes the wonderful Unity Shabbat of the avreichim of the holy community of Breslov Shuvu Banim, under the leadership of our teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.
300 places were allocated for the community's avreichim, but the response was overwhelming, and a thousand avreichim crowded together in the holy city of Meron, near the holy gravesite of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai. This surprised no one, for everyone knows the verse: "And as they afflicted him, so he multiplied and so he spread" (Exodus 1:12), which describes exactly what the members of the Shuvu Banim community, the Breslov chassidim and students of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a, are going through.
The Shabbat was conducted in a light of wonderful strengthening, prayers with spiritual elevation, Torah classes, and holy words delivered by the great rabbis of Breslov Shuvu Banim. These are some of the things that were shared.
Words of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Moshe Tzanani regarding the wonderful Unity Shabbat in Meron with a thousand avreichim of the holy community of Breslov Shuvu Banim, students of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a
"To have such a gathering with such love, despite all the volcano of controversy surrounding it—it is impossible to describe what a thing this is; it is a blow to the sitra achra (the other side)."
"When we sit together in unity, the light of peace descends, the light of Hashem; this is the light of the tzaddik—it is a tremendous light. Thousands who were in the yeshiva and left over the years missed out on the light they could have merited; therefore, one must pray: 'Master of the World, grant me faith in the tzaddik.'"
Words of Rabbi Shmuel Stern shlit"a at the Unity Shabbat in Meron
"Do you call yourself a Breslov chassid today? Let's see what would have happened if you lived in the time of Rebbe Nachman; would you have disagreed with him or not? If you disagree with the tzaddikim of our generation, then surely you would have also disagreed with Rebbe Nachman."
"A Litvish avreich who does not know our teacher Rav Berland said, 'I am starting to believe that Rav Berland is a great tzaddik; such things that they do to him we have never seen before, great tzaddikim have not gone through this.' Rav Berland is rectifying the world with the help of Hashem, in the merit of Rebbe Nachman, in the merit of all the tzaddikim, and may we merit the complete Geulah speedily in our days, amen."
