Watch: "There is Great Anger in Heaven at Those Who Disparage the Righteous

"Even if we had not heard the following words from the mouth of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi HaKohen Dov Kook, we would be certain that the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a is holy and a tzaddik," concludes Eliyahu Leizerovich. The following testimony comes from the home of the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Dov Kook shlit"a, by a family member who adds, "I do not remember Rabbi Kook shlit"a expressing himself in such a way about other matters." These are the words of Rabbi Kook shlit"a.

"There is great anger in Heaven against those who disparage Rav Berland shlit"a. And I am very worried about the situation. Who knows what will become of us; Hashem is very angry, just like at the time of the Golden Calf. Were it not for the mercies of Hashem, who knows what would happen to us. The main grievance is not against the common people of Israel, for a Jew who does not keep Torah and mitzvot and sees such talk in the media, it is unfortunately natural that he would believe it. The strictness is primarily against the Breslov chassidim, not all of whom believe in the innocence of their Rav and that he is a tzaddik. If all Breslov chassidim believed that Rav Berland is a tzaddik, then Mashiach ben David would have arrived, but since the Satan knows this, he tries to sabotage it."

"The fact that Rav Berland shlit"a cannot reach the Land of Israel is a death of the soul; the President of Iran has an atom bomb and Hashem could send him in an instant, yet He does not do so because He has mercy on us."

"On another occasion, when asked by students, the Mekubal Rabbi Dov Kook replied: How can you have doubts about Rav Berland shlit"a? I myself have no grasp of him."
