Visions of Holiness: The Valley of the Tanna Yonatan Ben Uziel Was Filled with Worshippers with the Esteemed Rav Berland shlit"a in an Emotional Morning Prayer After the Conference in the North - Photo Gallery

After the holy night on the eve of 7th of Adar 5778, the yahrzeit of Moshe Rabbeinu, during which our teacher, the esteemed Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, inspired the hearts with his lofty words of Torah and the fervor of sacred melodies and dances, the Rav shlit"a continued with the multitudes on the sacred journey. A little after 5 AM on Friday, the parking lot in Amuka, at the site of the holy Tanna Yonatan Ben Uziel, was filled. The entire valley was packed with vehicles, as dozens of buses and hundreds of cars full of worshippers arrived for prayer with Rav Berland shlit"a.

The elders among the attendees testified that they had never seen the holy site so full, even on the yahrzeit of Yonatan Ben Uziel. Tens of thousands crowded into the sacred space to merit praying together with the tzaddik Rav Berland shlit"a at the place of the Tanna Yonatan Ben Uziel. The Rav entered the sacred area and placed his siddur directly on the grave of the divine Tanna, while the thousands around began to sing the morning hymns together, followed immediately by the special melody of the Shacharit prayer with Rav Berland shlit"a.

Happy is the eye that saw all these
