Why Do They Want to Remove the Words of Rabbi Moyal zt"l About Rav Berland shlit"a?

Rabbi Yaakov Salma shlit"a, head of the 'Netzach Netzachim' Kollel in Bnei Brak, delivers a piercing message explaining what happened after a video of a close family member of Rabbi Moyal was uploaded. "We uploaded a video about Rabbi Nissim Moyal zt"l from a family member recounting Rabbi Moyal's regard for the greatness of Rav Berland shlit"a. Suddenly, the pursuers of the tzaddik called me and asked how I could tell such stories. I responded that the narrator is a close family member of Rabbi Moyal, sharing firsthand testimony of things he witnessed."

"After the pressure on me to remove the video did not yield results, the pursuers began to pressure the yeshiva, threatening to press the donors to stop supporting the yeshiva. The situation reached the point where the family member who enthusiastically shared the stories in the video asked and pleaded for us to take down the video.

We present here the words spoken firsthand by the close family member of Rabbi Moyal zt"l, who spent much time in his presence.

"When I visited Rabbi Moyal in the hospitals, he told me, 'You don't know what I see about Rav Berland, I see him up there. There are tzaddikim who consult among themselves, but then Rav Berland comes and decrees.' I asked Rabbi Moyal, what does it mean that he decrees, and he answered me that what Rav Berland rules in the Heavenly Court happens."

"I remember when I was young, one of my uncles took me to Rav Berland. My uncle had an envelope with money that he gave to Rav Berland and told him it was from Rabbi Moyal. Rav Berland told my uncle that the amount would go to Torah-learning avreichim, and added, in this world, I have nothing besides learning and spreading the Torah. When we returned to Kiryat Gat to Rabbi Moyal, he said, 'The decree has been completely annulled, the decree has been annulled.'"

"Rabbi Moyal, in his holy spirit, always said that one must not speak against Rav Berland, but rather strengthen the emunah (faith) in him so that the matter of the Rav and his students will grow. That the entire matter that Rav Berland spreads, guarding the eyes, guarding the covenant, studying the Gemara in depth, will grow. Nowhere else is there such work as there is in the 'Shuvu Banim' community of Rav Berland."

"I personally heard Rabbi Moyal say several times in the name of Baba Elazar that there were tzaddikim who took upon themselves death and disgrace, but Rav Berland said he is willing to take it all upon himself. Baba Elazar said he would take upon himself the death. Rabbi Moyal added and said that whoever speaks about Rav Berland, it is mercy that they die, they challenged and said that death is judgment. Rabbi Moyal said that speaking about the tzaddik interferes and delays the redemption."

"I would chase after Rabbi Moyal everywhere, even to the hospital where he was staying. One day when he was at the Ein Kerem hospital, Rabbi Moyal gave me an order of Tehillim and Mishnayot. While I was studying, two people came to visit him, Rabbi Moyal said, 'I don't want them here, let them leave the hospital.' I asked him, Rabbi, what happened? Rabbi Moyal replied, they think that because I am sick, they can extract words from me about the tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland. This is fire, one must not speak about the tzaddik Rav Berland, whoever deals with him will go, even in Heaven they talk about this, Rabbi Moyal concluded."
