The Wedding of Ephraim Geltman and the Holy Journey of the Esteemed Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a in Kfar Saba

Yesterday, Thursday of Parshat Shemot 5779, the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, our teacher the Rav shlit"a, arrived to bring those who are distant closer in Kfar Saba. Among other addresses visited by the tzaddik, the Rav shlit"a came to Weizmann Street 122. Rabbi Berland shlit"a held a reception there and strengthened the neshamot (souls) of those who came.

Earlier in the evening, after the Maariv prayer, a chuppah was held in the prayer hall of the Rav shlit"a. The wedding was of Ephraim Geltman from the USA and his chosen bride, a couple of baalei teshuvah from the USA who recently became acquainted with our teacher, the esteemed tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a. The event was very moving since the newlyweds have no family in the country, and it was a great mitzvah to come and bring them simcha (joy).

After the chuppah, the wedding celebration continued with holy dances and a mitzvah feast in the yeshiva hall of Rabbi Michael Gol shlit"a on Ido HaNavi Street.

It was surprising to hear from the groom the wondrous story behind their closeness to our teacher Rabbi Berland shlit"a. The groom recounted how the Rav shlit"a matched him, sent him to Miami, and appeared in a dream to his bride. The full story will be told, with Hashem's help, in Rabbi Salma's gathering and in the Knishta Chada bulletin.
