Unbelievable Story of Resurrection by the Righteous Rav Berland

Bring your wife to Morocco and she will be healed

"My wife was supposed to fly to Morocco (where I was staying with our teacher, the great tzaddik Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, and his students) from Israel, when on the Shabbat before the flight, she did not feel well and fainted. Throughout Shabbat, her condition continued to deteriorate; she fainted several times. I told our teacher, Rav Berland, about this, and he answered me with these words: 'If you listen to me, bring your wife with you to Morocco, and she will be healthy.'"

"She set out on the journey with her nephews and family, and the entire way she felt terrible and awful. She could not stand on her feet until they were forced to carry her in a wheelchair. She arrived in Morocco, and even though she had not seen the Rav for half a year, she went straight home and did not come to pray. I understood that the situation was terrible and awful; her eyes were truly glazed over."

Her health condition continued to deteriorate

"After Mincha and Arvit, the Rav went up to the house. He stood at the entrance, and his gaze was directed toward the ceiling as he said, 'She will be healthy,' and he repeated this several times. It seemed that the Rav was truly in a state of judgment (din). Even when he came out to us, he said she would be healthy, but the feeling was truly one of judgment. My wife's breathing became short and frequent; it was frightening in a way that is hard to describe. It was 3:00 AM, and she was not with us at all."

"They told our teacher, Rav Berland, about this, and he said that she had a brain hemorrhage and that he was going to the graves of tzaddikim to bring about salvations. It should be noted that we did not know at all what was wrong with her; at that time, she was in intensive care. Jacky Kadosh, who was with us and spoke Moroccan, communicated with the doctors, who delivered a sharp and clear message: 'If you want to say goodbye to her, you should come quickly.' The next morning, the situation reached its end, as they were waiting for the chief professor to come and sign the death certificate."

Already by the second Tikkun, the situation improves

"In the morning, we told our teacher, Rav Berland, about the situation, and he said that after prayer, he would come to visit her at the hospital. At the hospital, the Rav began reciting the seven Tikkun HaKlali, and in the middle of the second Tikkun, the nurse approached my mother-in-law and told her that my wife had woken up. Everyone was in shock, and my mother-in-law immediately entered the room to speak with her daughter and asked her if she wanted the Rav to enter, but she did not answer. My mother-in-law told her that if she wanted the Rav to enter, she should squeeze her hand, and she indeed squeezed it."

"The Rav entered the intensive care unit and began speaking with my wife, who at first only nodded in response, but the Rav continued and spoke with her until she suddenly answered him. It was a miracle; after all, the doctors said that only through a year-and-a-half process accompanied by speech therapy might they succeed in restoring her speech, since it was a brain injury. Furthermore, my mother-in-law told me that in the morning, she had arrived at the hospital and my wife's hand was limp; the nurse told her that she was no longer with us."

The Rav promises that by the 15th of Av she will speak

"At night, she had another seizure and began thrashing about in a frightening way. We spoke with the Gabbai, who said that the Rav would arrive at the hospital again tomorrow. I placed a board with letters in front of my wife so she could signal her wishes to me, and as the Rav said the Tikkun HaKlali, she followed the letters of the Psalms with her gaze. It was the Friday before Tisha B'Av, and the Rav said that by the 15th of Av, she would begin to speak."

"The third time the Rav arrived at the hospital, he said the Tikkun HaKlali again and did not even enter the intensive care unit. Before Tisha B'Av, my wife insisted that she was going to fast. I called the Rav, who told me that under no circumstances should she fast. Only then did my wife agree to drop the matter of fasting. By Tisha B'Av, her condition continued to improve, but she still could not walk. On the 15th of Av, Nachman Fuchs told me, 'The Rav said she will start speaking today, so tell her to try to speak.' In my innocence, I told her, and she truly tried to say the evening prayer, and lo and behold—the words came out of her mouth. Although with difficulty, the words still came out of her mouth."

She will be healthy without surgeries

"In Israel, just as in Morocco and Paris, the doctors did not discover the cause of my wife's illness. When she arrived in Israel, intensive care ambulances were waiting for her, and they were stunned to see her walk off the plane on her own feet. It is truly a miracle of resurrection; it is hard to understand. Before we left Morocco, the Rav said she would be healthy and would not need any surgeries, but the doctor insisted on operating on her heart. I asked the Rav, and he told me to let them operate, but since the Rav had said not to operate, we did not operate. My father-in-law opposed the surgery, and they truly found another method to treat her without surgery."

The Rav calls people to him in order to sweeten the judgment upon them

"The Rav gave her a special menu with which she recovered without any medication. In the last check-up, they diagnosed that no trace of the illness remained. Jacky Kadosh is a witness to the entire sequence of events. Furthermore, I myself know of other cases where the Rav told people to come to him in Morocco; they did not come, and the results were terrible. In one case, the woman had cancer; she did not arrive and eventually passed away. In another case, the Rav called the parents of a certain girl who at that time was completely healthy and truly begged them to come to Morocco; they did not arrive, and eventually, the girl died a strange death."
