What Is Apikorsut (Heresy)? The Daily Strengthening Message of Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

The daily strengthening message of our teacher, the honorable holy gaon and tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, dealing with the importance of speaking with Hashem

Thursday, 10 Kislev 5785, these are his holy words:

Don’t you see that Hashem created the world? Don’t you see that everything here..? Electricity.., everything is above nature!

So the Rav asks: “Know what to answer the apikores,” but rather, the fact that a person does not pray with kavanah (proper intention) is a sign that there is apikorsut within him!!

Apikorsut is when you can’t pray; you can’t speak with Hashem.

Speak with Hashem. You have two hours to speak with Hashem—three hours. On Shabbat we begin the prayer at 4:30 and finish at 9:30—five hours; we speak with Hashem for five hours.

We need to wait for this: I can speak with Hashem. I thought to speak with Putin... what, do you think you can stop the war?
