The Light of Redemption

The Selected Chapters that our teacher, the holy Gaon Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, testified he received from our holy Rebbe, Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, are being published throughout the world for the sublime virtues contained in their recitation. Now, testimony arrives from within the Persian communities in Iran, America, and Germany, where hundreds of copies are being distributed, truly returning everyone to their source.

Rabbi Shmuel, an important member of the holy Shuvu Banim community and an immigrant from Iran, testifies in his own voice during a conversation with Rabbi Mordechai Miyama about the miracles and wonders in the spread of the Selected Chapters to the Jewish communities of the Persians in Iran and around the world.

"How did the Selected Chapters reach hostile Iran? There are Jews there who read them every day."

"We are currently speaking with one of the Jews who arrived from Iran, R' Shmuel, peace and blessings."

"Shalom Aleichem, this is Shmuel from the Shuvu Banim community. I have been privileged to be in the community for 8 years, and I want to tell you a wonderful story. A week ago, we started with three people strengthening ourselves in the matter of the Selected Chapters. Two or three years ago, they came for a visit to Eretz Yisrael, they requested the..., and returned to Iran."

"Poor man, they just discovered the illness; it is a family member of mine who lives in Iran. I told him to print the ten Selected Chapters, and he indeed printed 500 copies so that people would start reciting them. We started with 3 people who said the chapters, and in the meantime, we have reached 170 who say the Selected Chapters every day."

"The Selected Chapters are reaching Persian communities all over the world."

"I heard from people that the Persians are saying this in Germany and America as well, not just in Iran. They called and said that for years they had forgotten to say Shema Yisrael. They told me it started since we saw the picture of Rav Berland; until then they knew nothing, and suddenly they heard about the Selected Chapters. They feel such light, such faith, and they say they feel that their hope has returned to them. People who are truly suffering—as we know the state of the world, everyone in their own Egypt—and people who suffered have had their hope restored. They say they feel the light of Geulah that is truly reviving them."

"Rabbi Shmuel, you mention the great light in the Selected Chapters and that people are drawing closer because of it. Truly, our teacher Rav Berland told me when I was in Bat Yam. He told me explicitly: You can tell people all the virtues in the world regarding the Selected Chapters, because there is no virtue that it does not include. And the Rav said that it cleans all the rust from the intellect that has attached itself to a person, just as you say—it creates a pure heart, 'Create for me a pure heart, O Hashem.'"

"And now you say that 170 people are reading it in Iran."

"More than that, people are calling from there and begging to receive more and more copies."

"It is unbelievable. Last year, our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a would deliver many lessons from Ayalon Prison. He would say 'Ayalon' is gematria 'Uman,' and he would speak about the Mashhadi and Yazdi Persians—what righteousness the girls had, who had 5 veils, and a girl who got married knew nothing. They thought that just by praying, a son arrives; they didn't know that anyone touches anything... nothing. Everything was in such holiness, and the Rav praised the Persians, the grandmothers, and the families so much."

"And here, less than a year after the Rav was talking about this all the time, we are hearing in recent months that, thank Hashem, the Persians are awakening."

"Yes, may His name be praised, and I heard that from age 8 to 80, from the young to the old, they are awakening. Those I am in contact with send videos of themselves praying and dancing. We are talking about the sick and people who had lost their faith until now."

"This is exactly what Rav Berland said about the end of the story of the butler without legs. The butler without hands is the Tikkun HaKlali, that is the rectification of the Princess, but the beggar without legs, who is the seventh tzaddik, simply restores and rectifies the Prince—the male who fell completely from faith and had no moisture left. The psalms of the Selected Chapters restore a new soul to the person."

"Rabbi Elmalich told that at one of the graves of the tzaddikim, they said the Selected Chapters 10 times in a row, and he introduced us to Rabbi Shmuel, the ambassador of our teacher Rav Berland to Persian Jewry. You are the ambassador to bring all the Persians closer to the tzaddik. Rabbi Elmalich said that our teacher Rav Berland heard this and was very happy."

"Thank Hashem, Rabbi Elmalich strengthened us that with Hashem's help, we will pass this on to this community. They are waiting for it, and we are strengthening them that the Rav is everywhere, the Rav hears them, and all the members of this community are truly happy."

"After 50,000 Selected Chapters were distributed in the world in a very high-quality edition, with Hashem's help, another 20,000 are going to come off the press tomorrow. It is going to be in two editions: one more for the community... and the second general for the whole world with a message to the people of Israel... and there is great demand, and people are calling and donating for the distribution and printing of the Selected Chapters, truly every day."

"Even there in Iran, they brought in another 200 and another 200, and they want to do another printing, and we are talking about only a week's time."

"You are saying that as the darkness grows, so the light grows. Here, now, a president who hates... was chosen in Iran. They call him the murderer, the hangman there, may the wicked rot... one who is an oppressor of Israel... and as the darkness grows, so, as R' Shmuel tells us, the great light also goes and glimmers."

"Truly so. On the same day he came to power, they started saying the Selected Chapters. It is a wonder of wonders; it is the light that was revealed there to sweeten all the judgments."

"Truly miracles and wonders. R' Shmuel has strengthened all of the people of Israel now, and may it be the will that you merit to bring all the Persian congregation to complete teshuvah (repentance)."

"Amen."

"And may you increase Torah and make it glorious."

"Yasher Koach."

Many have already become acquainted with the wonderful light of the "Selected Chapters" revealed by our teacher, the holy Gaon Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. The chapters that descended to the world and connected to the light of the Tikkun HaKlali with the goal of helping the souls of Israel reach full rectification even in our generation.
