The Media Should Cry Out: "Success for the Prayer Gathering of the Esteemed Rav Berland shlit"a"

The media cries out: "A crushing success for the right-wing bloc and the religious parties," while the true outcry should be - "A crushing victory for the prayer gathering of the esteemed Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a". If we were to summarize in two words the power of the public prayer together with the tzaddik, we would say - Kiddush Hashem, nothing less. Our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a knew that the election campaign for the prime minister was crucial for the people of Israel, for the world of Torah and kedushah, therefore he strongly requested to hold the prayer gathering near the graves of the patriarchs. As was publicized, our teacher Rav even repeatedly warned about the obligation to participate in the prayer gathering, considering it a matter of pikuach nefesh (saving a life), and on election day he requested to announce - whoever does not go to vote effectively strengthens Lapid and the pursuers of the Torah.

Baruch Hashem, the prayer event was very moving and stirred the neshamah (soul)

The gathering opened with the recitation of the entire Book of Psalms, as Rabbi Aharon Berkowitz shlit"a melodiously led the chapters of 'The Sweet Singer of Israel' with the large public following him. More than ten thousand participants arrived at the site of the Cave of the Patriarchs, who completed the recitation of the entire book before the arrival of the esteemed Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a. 

The arrival of the tzaddik stirred excitement among the crowd, as the orchestra began to play sacred melodies that accompanied the Rav upon his entrance. The recitation of Psalms turned into sacred dances that enflamed the hearts of the public, the Rav danced above, in front of the seventh step, and the crowd that filled the entire courtyard of the cave joined him. In the air, it was felt how the judgments were sweetening and the tzaddik was bringing about salvations, using the merit of the public prayer and sacred melodies.

Once again, it was visibly seen how the gathering brings about salvations

We have uploaded several conversations on the site with words of encouragement from the students of our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a regarding the great merit of participating in the prayer gathering. Everyone spoke in praise and the power of public prayer, each in his own words, but all reiterated the fundamental principle of the merit of prayer - "Everyone has seen in the past how the prayer gatherings with Rav Berland shlit"a work wonders". All of Rav Berland's prayer gatherings came during times of judgments and difficult news. For example, it was during the knife intifada, where every day bloodthirsty murderers roamed the streets, inciting the flames of knives against every passerby. The people of Israel were in one of their most difficult times and no solution was found for the murderous terrorists. Then, our teacher Rav shlit"a aroused the public to hold a prayer gathering that worked and brought about the sweetening of the judgments.

 Like then, even today, the general public did not know to associate the cessation of the murderousness with the day of mass prayer. The media celebrated with a mix of nonsense and trivialities, and suddenly forgot that before the gathering, no action by the security forces and diplomatic efforts helped. And behold, the tzaddik arrived at the prayer gathering and suddenly the judgments ceased. Even now, with the success of the election campaign, a great Kiddush Hashem was made, especially among the tzaddik's close followers who know what truly brought about the success of the forces of holiness in the elections. The Blue and White party, which before the elections declared they were going to win by a significant margin and thereby bring an end to the world of Torah, now it becomes clear how all their intentions were thwarted. The religious parties exceeded expectations in the elections.

Fortunate are we and how good is our portion that we know the reason for the success of the forces of holiness in the elections. The tzaddik who took the staff of prayer, the dances, and the fasts before the elections and with them ascended before the Creator of the World and pleaded for the fate of the nation.
