Below are the main points of the conversation that took place between Rav Berland shlit"a and Itzik, the father of Ran Gvili hy"d:

The Rav: “Say Parashat Vayeshev.”

Itzik: “Parashat Vayeshev? Okay.”

The Rav: “Yes. In Parashat Vayeshev, Yosef was released from prison. Read it every day – it’s only ten minutes.”

Itzik: “Parashat Vayeshev?”

The Rav: “Yes, Vayeshev! Read it – and he will be released with Hashem's help, if Hashem wills.”

Itzik: “Is Ran still alive?”

The Rav: “He is alive – he is alive spiritually.”

Itzik: “What?”

The Rav: “Spiritually, he is alive. Like our Rebbe – our Rebbe is still alive.”

Itzik: “I understand. Thank you very much.”

The Rav: “There will be miracles. Hold on.”
