Watch: The Promise Fulfilled – The Father of the Captive in Gaza, Ran Gvili

Itzik Gvili, the father of Major Ran Gvili, May Hashem avenge his blood, the latest hostage in Gaza, came about two weeks ago to our teacher, the holy and righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, requesting strengthening and advice regarding his son.

During the meeting, Rav Berland shlit"a said to him:

"Read Parashat Vayeshev. Then he will be released, in the month of Shevat he will come out, they will find him very easily."

Below are the main points of the conversation that took place between Rav Berland shlit"a and Itzik, the father of Ran Gvili, May Hashem avenge his blood:

The Rav: "Say Parashat Vayeshev."

Itzik: "Parashat Vayeshev? Okay."

The Rav: "Yes. In Parashat Vayeshev, Yosef came out of prison. Read it every day – it is only ten minutes."

Itzik: "Parashat Vayeshev?"

The Rav: "Yes, Vayeshev! Read it – and he will be released with the help of Hashem, if Hashem wills it."

Itzik: "Is Ran still alive?"

The Rav: "He is alive – he is alive spiritually."

Itzik: "What?"

The Rav: "Spiritually he is alive. Like Rabbeinu – Rabbeinu is still alive."

Itzik: "I understand. Thank you very much."

The Rav: "There will be miracles. Stay strong."
