Rav Shlomo Elmalich and Rav Badani Call
It is Obligatory to Attend the Critical Assembly in Ramla

A holy call from the Mekubal, the righteous Rabbi Shlomo Elmaliach shlit"a, to participate in the assembly of prayer and protest before the return of our teacher, the holy Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, to imprisonment. Rabbi Elmaliach conveys the message of Rabbi Shimon Bedani shlit"a regarding the obligation to attend the assembly.
"To all our community members, peace be upon you... We, the rabbis of the Shuvu Banim community, have decided to hold an assembly of prayer and protest on the night before the imprisonment of our teacher, the Rav, may it not happen."
Today, Wednesday 27/10/21 at 21:00, we, the students and loyal followers of our teacher, the holy Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, will gather for an assembly of prayer and protest to annul the terrible intention of placing the Rav shlit"a into imprisonment this coming Thursday.
"We ask all our community members across the country to arrive at this very important assembly."
"Yesterday, I was at the shiur of Rabbi Shimon Bedani shlit"a and I told him that our teacher, Rav Berland shlit"a, is going to enter the prison. Rabbi Bedani was struck with alarm. I asked him if he could come to the assembly, and he said he would try with all his might."
"As is known, it is difficult to hear and understand Rabbi Bedani, and he asked me to write down the things he says in his name. This is the wording of the message from Rabbi Shimon Bedani for the assembly on behalf of Rav Berland: It is mandatory to participate in the prayer assembly to save the righteous Rav, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, who is in a very difficult situation. If he returns to prison, it is a literal danger to life and could endanger his life. Therefore, it is mandatory for every Jew to participate in the prayer and protest assembly in front of the walls of the prison in Ramle on Wednesday night, in order to sweeten all the judgments."
"With the blessing of the Torah, Rabbi Shimon Bedani."
"This is what Rabbi Bedani asked to convey - he had tears in his eyes."
"I intend, with the help of Hashem, to go today also to Rabbi Amos Gueta shlit"a (the elder of the Mekubalim in our generation). Rabbi Scheinfeld shlit"a is also supposed to participate in the assembly, and we are in contact with the Admor of Spinka shlit"a, who, with the help of Hashem, will participate in the assembly. And more and more, Rabbi Stern from Bnei Brak..."
"We ask all our community members to arrive; the situation is very difficult and not simple. We have no one to rely on except our Father in Heaven; it is mandatory for everyone to arrive."
"And with the help of Hashem, we will also set up protest tents there for as long as our teacher, Rav Berland shlit"a, stays there. We will hold shiurim there, prayers, Daf Yomi, Tikkunim, and the community rabbis will come down to give shiurim there. We must do at least this effort."
"May Hashem see our poverty, ignite our hearts, and bring us the complete Geulah speedily in our days, Amen."
