Visions of Holiness: The Valley of the Tanna Yonatan Ben Uziel Was Filled with

Following the holy night of the conclusion of the 7th of Adar 5778, the day of the Hillula of Moshe Rabbeinu, during which our teacher, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rav Eliezer Berland shlit"a, ignited hearts with his lofty words of Torah and the flame of holy melodies and dances, the Rav shlit"a continued the holy journey together with the multitude. Shortly after 5:00 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 filled with worshippers arrived for prayer with Rav Berland shlit"a.

The elders among those who arrived testified that they had never seen the holy site so packed and full, not even on the days of the Hillula of Yonatan ben Uziel. Multitudes crowded into the holy place to merit praying together with the tzaddik Rav Berland shlit"a at the site of the Tanna Yonatan ben Uziel. The Rav entered into the holy place and placed his prayer book directly upon the tomb of the divine Tanna, while the thousands surrounding them broke out together into the melody of the morning hymns, and immediately afterward, into the melody of the Shacharit prayer in the special tune of Rav Berland shlit"a.

Fortunate is the eye that saw all of this.
