The Rebbe of Berdichev with Fiery Words about the Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Rabbi Aharon Boimel shlit"a, the Rebbe of Berdichev Givat Yaakov Jerusalem, in a holy fire interview with the Global Breslov Line. "May Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a have length of days and good years in the merit of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak ben Sarah Sasha (Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev zy"a), the defender of Israel," the Rebbe begins with blessings for the Rabbi. "It is a merit in the 'Shuvu Banim' community that students of the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a merit to become Rebbes and Rabbis, we are all students of the Rabbi."
A Merit to Be with the Tzaddik in Joyous Occasions"I merited to be at the wedding of our friend and dear Rabbi Beni Machlev, I was so happy and remembered how I said three years ago that our teacher Rabbi Berland would still dance with us at weddings and joyous occasions. Rabbi Yaakov Moshe Salmanovich from Bnei Brak told me, 'Rabbi Boimel, your blessing came true. We merited to be at Machlev's wedding, what joy, what purity, truly the Holy Temple in its splendor. To see the precious children with their curled peyot and white kippot."
Rabbi, You Are the Defender of Israel"May we merit, with Hashem's help, to be nullified to our teacher Rabbi Berland shlit"a. At the wedding, the groom Beni Machlev said to our teacher the Rabbi, here is Aharon Boimel the Rebbe of Berdichev. The Rabbi told me, 'Bless me', I answered, 'Rabbi, you need to bless me, you are the defender of Israel, you are the Moses of the generation'. Our teacher Rabbi Berland was so happy, he kissed me and danced with me, Baruch Hashem that I merited such closeness with the tzaddik."
The Tzaddikim Are with Us Even Today"People think that the Rabbi of Berdichev was 200 years ago, and so the Baal Shem Tov and Rebbe Nachman of Breslov, but in truth, our Rebbe is with us today, and so the Baal Shem Tov and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, the defender of Israel, are with us in this generation. We need Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev today, not 200 years ago."
Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev Would Tell Me, Run After Rabbi Berland"May Hashem protect and save, I haven't reached our teacher Rabbi Berland shlit"a for a year now, at the wedding I told myself, 'how many diamonds, how many days of Torah and prayer with the tzaddik have I missed'. It pained me, I told myself, 'if I went to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev he would tell me, run after Rabbi Berland, run'."
After I Enter Rabbi Berland I Melt"Today as a Rebbe I have an open house with all the great Rebbes in the country and the world, I enter all the greats of Israel, but after I enter our teacher Rabbi Berland I melt. I am with all the great tzaddikim in the world, with the 36 tzaddikim, but after I enter Rabbi Berland I melt, I become all water. I tell myself I want to take off all my clothes and be the student of Rabbi Berland. To put on myself the simplest Breslov hat, some old gartel, leave everything and be a student of Rabbi Berland 24 hours a day."
People Go Crazy When They Understand Who Rabbi Berland Is"I currently give lessons in yeshivas and kollels across the country, I tell them stories about our teacher Rabbi Berland, people go crazy when they understand who the tzaddik in the generation is. Berdichev has synagogues and a yeshiva everywhere, in Bnei Brak, in Tzfat, and in Givat Ze'ev Jerusalem."
In the Month of Adar, Salvation Is Seen Immediately
"The Kabbalists say about the verse, 'When Adar enters, joy increases', joy increases because in Adar salvation is seen immediately. All year a person needs to work and act, but in Adar in one second, whoever extends a hand is given. A person prays and says, 'Master of the World, help me, I need this and that', he receives it immediately and becomes joyful. Our teacher Rabbi Berland always says, 'Adar' is the letters, tens of thousands of dollars. May Hashem bestow upon all of Israel abundance, blessing, and great wealth with joy. May we merit to receive our righteous Mashiach with the Rabbi leading us."
