The Hidden Kabbalist Rabbi Salmanovitch - "The Whole World is Crying and You Continue with the Persecution?"

The esteemed tzaddik, the kabbalist Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Salmanovitch shlit"a, speaks harshly about the terrible persecution against Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. Rabbi Salmanovitch's words were spoken in 5776, yet they carry an almost prophetic nature in describing the distress of the entire world in light of the persecution of Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

"Gevald! Gevald! How can we remain silent, there is already so much sorrow and heartache, so many disputes, so much pain, how can you conduct such a cruel war? You have claims, you have issues? Only with goodness! Only with mercy! How can you now cause such distress in the world? Stop! Stop! Stop!"

"Woe to you from the Day of Judgment, you have claims, call the other side, in ways of peace, this is terrible hatred, it has not been like this since the beginning of time. You are delaying the redemption! You want to further stumble the tzaddikim once more, more signatures, more actions, woe to you from the Day of Judgment, how can you take such great tzaddikim, explain! There is another side too! Explain! There are things that can be explained! There are things that can be corrected! The whole world has been crying for four years over the hatred in Breslov, such pain, everything was fine, our Rebbe went to conquer the world, the evil inclination awoke and wants to create hatred and division without any mercy."

Thus opens Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Salmanovitch his cry against those who persecute the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, those who incite innocent rabbis and torment tens of thousands anew at every moment.

"You can explain everything in the world, but here you cannot explain? It is possible to explain, it is possible to correct. Are you not afraid? To take such tzaddikim and cause them to stumble? To take such tzaddikim and instill hatred in them? There are claims, fine, bring the other side, we will explain. It is not as simple as you think. To instill such hatred in them. This is not our Rebbe."

As if it is not enough that Rabbi Salmanovitch is one of the greatest influencers of Breslov in our generation, he was once the rabbi of Yom Tov and Leizer Cheshin, two of the greatest persecutors of the rabbi shlit"a. And he, who knows them personally better than anyone, calls out to them to stop their despicable crimes.

"Isn't it enough the troubles that everyone has, no one is sure what will happen to them. What is happening here? How can there be such distress in Breslov? Such wickedness? Four years already of such wickedness, people are crying, for four years you have torn the life out of thousands of people. You want to correct some things, in the most fundamental matters let's say, everything can be done pleasantly! Not with wickedness! There is a lot of hatred here, a lot of hatred, endless hatred. If everyone had love, they could correct everything, the first thing that delays the exile from the five types of the mixed multitude, the first thing is those who cause disputes. Our Rebbe can advocate for everyone except for those who cause disputes."

People in the world are not aware of the magnitude of the hatred stirred by these individuals, who do not shy away from any scheme to defame the name of the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland in the eyes of the public. Rabbi Salmanovitch, who has never expressed himself in this manner towards anyone, understands the magnitude of the terrible mistake and cries out against two of his former students.

"What is this thing? All the disputants have already regretted, Rabbi Shechter, who was so ensnared in the past dispute, Rabbi Shechter, who is holy of holies and stumbled in the past dispute, has already asked for forgiveness, stumbled because of people, now you come again, more signatures, calling people and wanting to sign him again, beware!!! Shame on you!!! No one knows what awaits them, Master of the Universe have mercy, no one is immune! Mercy, Gevald, is this our Rebbe? Did we come to our Rebbe for this? Every period to create more disputes? There were so many disputes, another dispute? People have been bleeding for four years, people are bleeding, and it does not stop, worse and worse, inciting even the authorities, all because of you! Gevald, if you really want to correct, it is possible to correct a lot of good, everyone who needs to correct is lazy, when it comes to breaking in a moment, breaking everyone loves, instead of overcoming their desires, a person overcomes another, it is much easier."

Rabbi Salmanovitch's words are harsh and searing in the heart, to what extent our teacher the rabbi shlit"a is persecuted and remains silent. We cannot yet tell even a fraction of what we know, to what extent they exploit the holy conduct of our teacher the rabbi, the conduct he has taken upon himself all his life – to believe and only go in the way that is directed from above. Complete nullification to the will of Hashem.

"Who knows if the redemption is not being delayed because of this terrible dispute that exists throughout the world, there is such a desecration of Hashem's name throughout the world, I hear from all over the world such a desecration of Hashem's name because of this dispute, people are already saying, well, even if what happened happened, God forbid, where does such murder come from? Only in Breslov, with such murder, the evil inclination has put all its forces to place here a mixed multitude to commit murder. They take such tzaddikim, sick people, and have them sign, the wicked are like the sea that cannot rest, they want to have them sign more, instead of calling the other side to say their opinion, maybe there was this, a mistake like this, what happened here, there is another side, everything can be explained, everything can be corrected, it is possible from now on to correct, but not to cause destruction! Because something bothers you, you cause destruction! Are you not afraid? Hashem is in the heavens, are you not afraid? Let's say everyone has a point for the sake of Heaven, but how many levels not for the sake of Heaven are there here."

Hashem will seek out the pursued! Even if a tzaddik pursues the wicked, and here what is happening, Master of the Universe, we have become a laughingstock to the whole world, Breslov today has become a joke to the whole world. If you rise again, then there will be a force that will rise as well, know that Hashem is present and He is merciful, He looks only at a good and benevolent person, who wants to do good, do you not hear the cries? There are thousands and thousands connected to the rabbi all over the world and they are crying, and their cry reaches the heart of the heavens, beware! Be afraid! Be afraid, there are people for whom this is their entire life force, it is not simple at all. Who knows what was prepared for the people of Israel, the two hundred years of our Rebbe and Rabbi Natan have already ended, what is happening here, repent, do teshuvah, they will accept you with love, there is no hatred, even if you did what you did, there is no hatred, thousands of people, tens of thousands of people are torn and broken from this story."

Our teacher the rabbi shlit"a taught us only to cry out and pray, not violence and not hatred, because things need to be corrected at the root. But, unfortunately, not everyone is aware of the magnitude of the evil and hatred that has developed in these persecutors who use tools from the world of chaos in their campaign of destruction. Unfortunately, too many people fall into their trap. Therefore, we saw it necessary to bring these terrible matters.

Gevald, how can you do this? Is this what you learned from our Rebbe? We learned from our Rebbe only love! Only to bring close! If Hashem has mercy on us, have mercy, have mercy, I know all the claims you have, nonsense and nonsense! Everything can be corrected! Nonsense and nonsense! You know very well how to justify everything if you want. Fortunate are you and your portion if you stop now, from now on stop, everyone stop, Hashem will help that Mashiach will come and it will stop, there is much to say, I could talk all day, this is the first time I am doing such a thing, know that it is not simple at all, if you stop now there is a chance, if you stop now with all your might there is a chance that the redemption will come!

"All the sorrow in the world, all because of the dispute - no sin brings sorrow like the dispute!"

"With Rabbi Berland, everyone is good people, tzaddikim of the world are there, and you want to destroy everything? It is not relevant, from now on everything can be corrected."
