Let us rejoice and be glad with this Torah – the Hachnasat Sefer Torah ceremony to the prayer hall of our teacher, the holy gaon and tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, 29 Tevet 5782.

Every Hachnasat Sefer Torah ceremony is joyful and moving—how much more so when the Torah scroll was written for the elevation of the neshamah (soul) of the young man Shimon Heller zt"l, of the Breslov Shuvu Banim Holy Community.

At the ceremony of writing the letters, Rav Natan Heller—the scribe who wrote the scroll, the father of Shimon zt"l, and one of the important and veteran students of our teacher, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a—arrived at the home of our teacher, the holy gaon and tzaddik, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

Toward 18:00, the Heller family arrived together with Rav Natan Heller n"y for the writing of the letters at the home of our teacher Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

Afterward, the procession set out together with the Torah scroll from HaChomah HaShlishit Street, via Shivtei Yisrael Street, toward the prayer hall at 14 Ido HaNavi Street. There, the holy scroll was received with fiery dancing and simcha (joy) with a great crowd, and also with the Ma'ariv prayer and a seudat mitzvah in the beit midrash hall.
