"The Redemption Needs to Be in Nissan This Year" Testimony from the Court of the

Rabbi Mordechai with a passionate testimony from the home of the Kabbalist tzaddik, Rabbi David Chaim Stern shlit"a, a testimony that emerged from the table of the 36 tzaddikim regarding the Geulah.

"Things I heard in the name of Rabbi Alter David Chaim Stern, one of the great tzaddikim of Bnei Brak who was already present during the time of the Chazon Ish. His father served the Chazon Ish, and it is known that the Chazon Ish is the father of the entire Torah world. And he respected R' Yisrael Zecharya, the father of Rabbi Stern."

"Rabbi David Stern recounts that his father arrived at the Chazon Ish during Chol HaMoed Sukkot; there were not many people in the building. Afterward, they sat in the Sukkah, and he asked the Chazon Ish, 'What is happening to us? How is it that for hundreds and thousands of years we have prayed to leave the exile and return to Eretz Yisrael, and now that we have finally arrived in Eretz Yisrael, this is what we see? The Zionists, this government—is this what we reached?' The Chazon Ish very much loved his question."

"The Chazon Ish answered: 'You are correct, but the Erev Rav also deserve their portion.' He asked him, 'Will their portion also be here?' He answered: 'Not for long.' And then the Chazon Ish said, 'Even 50 years is not a long time.' Since then, about 70 years have passed; he said even 50 years is not a long time. Even the Erev Rav who were 40 years in the desert with Moshe Rabbeinu, they deserve their portion."

"We qualify this by saying that not everyone in the government can be called Erev Rav; there are people who are good and are public representatives."

"And the Chazon Ish said, after the Erev Rav rule here, there will be a period called the transition period, which is like birth pangs before the arrival of the Geulah. The transition period will be very, very difficult, doubly so, much more than all the years that the Erev Rav ruled here, spiritually for the people of Israel. And Rabbi David Stern said that the period the Chazon Ish referred to as the transition period is the Coronavirus period. And now we are truly at the very end."

"He said that the tzaddikim are working to bring Mashiach with mercy by Nissan. We are, of course, speaking here and not stating dates, but we clarify that the greatest of Israel, the great tzaddikim... we see Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky who tells those who ask not to travel abroad, 'Stay here, Mashiach is at the doorstep.' The tzaddikim live the Mashiach; it is going to arrive at any moment."

"We are in a spiritual Holocaust in the final generation. He said that the point is kindness and drawing close to one another; unity and kindness are what will bring it closer. It is written that one who wishes to be saved from the birth pangs of Mashiach should engage in acts of loving-kindness."

"Whoever knows who Rabbi Chaim David Stern is, R' Yehuda Leib Leibowitz, about whom they say he was the head of the 36 tzaddikim of the previous generation, said to one of Rabbi Stern's sons, 'Know that what I know, your father also knows,' to such an extent did he praise him."

"Rabbi Stern further said, 'I met with Rabbi Eliezer Berland in the small hotel where he was staying near the hospital in 5777, and there were all kinds of slanders and bad rumors. I was there and I descended into the depths of his heart and saw that he is clean of any sin or blemish. Rav Berland is completely clean, a total tzaddik.' This is the testimony of Rabbi Chaim Stern, that this is how Rabbi Ze'ev Leibowitz testified about his greatness; this is what he said about Rav Berland, who suffers with difficult afflictions for the people of Israel and took upon himself the most difficult things, the most terrible and awful suffering."

"As is known and publicized in the name of Rabbi Dov Kook, that the Baba Elazar took death upon himself, and Rav Berland took upon himself humiliations and exile. We are in a period where darkness covers the earth from every direction, and precisely in this period, one must know that the Geulah is truly at the doorstep. Whoever has a point of truth, that he desires the Divine light, he is always waiting for our righteous Mashiach."

"By the way, R' David Chaim Stern said that according to what he knows, the Geulah should have already arrived in Tishrei of this year, 5781, and it was postponed to Nissan. And he said, 'Now we do not want it to be postponed anymore; it is over, we do not want it to be postponed anymore.'"
