Unbelievable: Victory for Leon - After Consistent Lag

The Tzaddik Decrees and Hashem Fulfills

The second round of the mayoral elections in Jerusalem ended in a huge drama, as Moshe Leon defeated Ofer Berkovitch, after the latter led almost throughout the vote counting.

These are the words of Eli Rotman written in real-time in the article on Kikar HaShabbat with the unfolding beneath the surface, at the residence of the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a - 6th of Kislev 5779, 14.11.18, 00:57

"It seems irreversible: The next mayor of Jerusalem is likely Moshe Leon."

"For the last three hours, during which the votes in Jerusalem were counted, except for those in the double envelopes, Ofer Berkovitch led confidently, with a gap of about ten percent."

"Most commentators had already eulogized Leon's political future, who did not manage to lead over his rival even once. Signs of mourning were even evident in the headquarters of Degel HaTorah and Shas, who, as remembered, supported him, contrary to Agudat Yisrael."

However, as remembered, last night the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a came out with his clear voice and said, "I decree that Moshe Leon will be the next mayor."

These are the words of the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a:

"We now decree that Moshe Leon will be the mayor of Jerusalem and will attend to all the city's needs, with grace, with kindness. That no family will be hungry for bread, and he will attend to all the needs of halacha, that everything will go according to the holy halacha, without any deviation as thin as a hair. And all the people of Israel everywhere - to vote only for Moshe Leon. May Hashem be with you."

Therefore, the students of the Rav, the people of Shuvu Banim, awaited the salvation that at that time seemed distant.

Rav Berland, during the vote counting, was conducting a reception at a house in Modiin Illit. His students and admirers sat in the living room of the house awaiting the Rav's lesson. The reception in the adjacent room progressed with reports that Moshe Leon was on the verge of losing, however, towards the end of the reception surprising data began to arrive. According to which Moshe Leon was narrowing the gap and at times even leading slightly.

And suddenly it happened: Rav Berland came out of the room and arrived to his admirers to deliver the lesson, and then, all at once, ballots began to arrive from neighborhoods where Leon was leading over Berkovitch, with the religious candidate increasing the gap.

At the recitation of Kaddish at the end of the lesson, the joyous news already arrived - Moshe Leon will be the next mayor. The Tzaddik decreed and Hashem fulfilled!

The events in real-time - The data fluctuates between the two candidates

And on the other hand, the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a works in holiness with his holy words to turn the tide in favor of Moshe Leon and the honor of the Torah and its scholars
