"To Tear Open the Gates of Heaven so the Rav Will Be With Us and Sweeten All the

Following the medical condition of our teacher, Rabbi Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days), who for over a month has been suffering from heart failure and has needed to be hospitalized every two days.

By the instruction of the community's rabbis shlit"a, all the students and supporters of our teacher, Rabbi Berland shlit"a, from all across the country will gather for an assembly of prayer and outcry today, Wednesday, the 13th of Sivan, at the Western Wall plaza at 8:30 PM, reciting seven Tikkun HaKlalis (The General Rectification) and praying for the refuah sheleimah (complete healing) of our teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etia Berland shlit"a.

Before you are the words of the venerable Chassid, Rabbi Moshe Tzanani shlit"a, regarding the greatness of the gathering and the obligation to participate and pray for the healing of our teacher, the Rav shlit"a:

The Rav's condition is very difficult; everyone really needs to come with all their strength, we must believe that every prayer is heard, especially when everyone prays together. We must truly make every effort to reach the Kotel (Western Wall), to tear open the gates of heaven so that the Rav will be with us and sweeten all the judgments (harsh decrees) from over the entire world. And specifically for our Rav, the Tzaddik Yesod Olam (the Tzaddik who is the foundation of the world). There is nothing greater than this—praying for the Rav. With Hashem's help, we will merit to bring about salvations through our prayers!
