The esteemed chassid Rabbi Eliyahu Meirav shlit"a, head of the Breslov Kollel in Modi'in Illit, speaks piercing words about the strong connection between the difficult situation the entire world is experiencing and the imprisonment of our teacher, the holy tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

"Our Rebbe says in the Sefer HaMidot, that when a Jewish person is taken into captivity, any Jewish person, it doesn't matter who, then according to the neshamah (soul) of that person - the fountains of Torah and wisdom are sealed from the generation."

"Look in the Sefer HaMidot. And when the tzaddik of the generation himself is captured, understand for yourself that everything is closed - there is nothing."

"Because of this, the world is now in complete madness."

"We are waiting for Rav Berland to be released, to open the fountains of wisdom, and to bring the complete redemption, with Hashem's help - this is what will be."
