Yahrtzeit of the Holy Arizal - Words from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a: Watch

The holy words of His Kodesh, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) in honor of the Hiloula (anniversary of passing) of the holy Arizal zt"l (of blessed memory), the "Master of the Mezuzahs" Rabbi Moshe Ben Tov, and Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski.

"Today is also the Hiloula (anniversary of passing) of Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski zt"l," one of the greatest Torah giants in Lithuania in the period preceding the Holocaust (9th of Elul 5623, August 24, 1863 – 5th of Av 5700, August 9, 1940).

"And of the 'Master of the Mezuzahs.'" Rabbi Moshe Ben Tov was the head of the "Dor V'Dor Institutions" (5690, 1930 – 5th of Av 5770, July 16, 2010). "He could see through the Mezuzahs what every person was going through."

"Today are the Yahrtzeits (anniversaries of passing) of many tzaddiks, and specifically the holy Arizal" – Rabbi Isaac ben Solomon Luria zt"l (5294, 1534 – 5th of Av 5332, July 25, 1572), who was the greatest of the Safed Kabbalists in the 16th century.

"The Arizal was able to resurrect the dead; therefore, now on his Yahrtzeit (anniversary of passing), everyone can resurrect the dead. Everyone can receive the power to resurrect the dead, on the condition that they transcend the lust for eating. One does not need to fast; the main thing is to eat with holiness, and then a person will be able to bring the entire world back in teshuvah (repentance)."

"Boaz hints at the intellect and Ruth at prayer; Boaz tells Ruth not to omit even a single letter in prayer. If a person does not omit any letter in prayer, he will be able to resurrect all the dead in the world, bring the complete Geulah (Redemption), and bring down the Holy Temple of fire speedily in our days, Amen."
