"There Are No Wicked People in Israel" - The Daily Strengthening of Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

The daily strengthening of our teacher, the honorable holy gaon and tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, “There are no wicked people in Israel; we must learn only the Holy Tongue”
Thursday, 22 Shevat 5785 – these are his holy words:
The People of Israel are a golden Menorah—everyone, for there are no wicked people in Israel; there is no such thing as a wicked person.
It is only some kind of shell; even the most wicked person will do teshuvah (repentance) in a second.
So the People of Israel are called a golden Menorah—everyone, everyone.
The holy words of our teacher, the honorable holy gaon and tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, compel us to return to the historic gathering in which our teacher Rav Berland shlit"a spoke in the Yad Eliyahu Stadium together with Maran Rabbi Ovadia Yosef zy"a, at an event that will be remembered for generations
My friends, you should know that there are no wicked people in Israel.
It only seems so for a moment—for a second, for a thousandth of a second; one smile, one good word, and he returns in teshuvah (repentance). In the end he will be an even greater tzaddik than us.
You will see that he will still change and become more righteous than all of us.
There are no wicked people among the People of Israel; everyone is searching for the path, everyone wants to discover the path.
From each and every Jew, wonderful melodies burst forth. Rebbe Nachman of Breslov says in Torah 282: There are no wicked people among the People of Israel; from every Jew emerge wonderful melodies.
Every Jew is a wondrous diamond; every Jew is a pearl—only come, let us lift off the little bit of sand. One needs to polish it a little, to rub it a little.
And then one sees a pearl shining with precious light.
