An Act of Extortion and Deceit: Rabbi Berland's Persecutors Use Rabbinic Signatures in a Notice Against Their Will
Until now, the cruel and unrestrained campaign of persecution against the holy and righteous genius, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, has already crossed all boundaries of logic and common sense. However, we are now being informed of deeds that no human being can remain calm about. Thus, while Rabbi Berland shlit"a is recovering after a complicated surgery he underwent, these wicked people did not stay their hands from their evil deeds, but published notices full of slander and lies against the Tzaddik who lies suffering in the hospital.

And if all this evil is not enough for someone, and as we have published in the past regarding the deceitful methods of those persecuting Rabbi Berland shlit"a, several distinguished Breslov rabbis called the World Information Line (02-800-8800 from the US 18456400007 from England 442038073333) and left sensational messages stating that their names were inserted into the pashkevilim (street posters) against their will.

So what actually happened? Here is how the great lie of the Beit Shemesh zealots was revealed. They had rabbis sign a letter of protest, ostensibly against the harm done to Rabbi Moshe Kramer—a protest that actually joins the outcry against the degradation of the holy and righteous genius, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, along with the degradation of the Shuvu Banim rabbis who were the first to protest this.

However, the persecutors, with great audacity, added their own vile words against Rabbi Berland shlit"a and his students to the letter. In this way, they created a false reality, making it appear as if the rabbis had also signed against Rabbi Berland shlit"a. That they deceive incessantly is already known to all, but their wickedness crosses every line, and now they are not ashamed to do this even while Rabbi Berland is still hospitalized and recovering from a difficult and complicated surgery.
Before you are recordings of the rabbis being interviewed and announcing that they did not sign, Heaven forbid, against Rabbi Berland shlit"a, but solely regarding the harm done to Rabbi Kramer, while emphasizing that Rabbi Berland himself also signed regarding this matter.

The words of Rabbi Shimon Shapira shlit"a: "I signed the protest against the degradation of Rabbi Moshe Kramer; Rabbi Berland shlit"a also signed this protest. In no way did I intend a protest against Rabbi Berland or his community. In fact, I even asked that the protest regarding the degradation of Rabbi Kramer not be published," yet they did not respect his request.

The words of Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Carmel shlit"a: "I signed next to the signature of Rabbi Shimon Shapira; I wanted to sign next to him."

The words of Rabbi Yitzchak Anshin shlit"a: "I did not sign against Rabbi Berland; I only signed that it is forbidden to harm Reb Moshe. I cannot put out a notice against this because I do not want to fight with them."

The words of Rabbi Yosef Peretz from Meron: "I am not against Rabbi Berland shlit"a. I am totally against what was done to Rabbi Kramer, that is all (just as Rabbi Berland and the rabbis of Shuvu Banim condemned it themselves). I do not agree with what they wrote in my name against Rabbi Berland shlit"a."

A dramatic announcement from Rabbi Koenig shlit"a: "It is clear to everyone that I never spoke, never expressed myself, and never signed anything against the holy and righteous genius, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, nor against his community, 'Shuvu Banim'. Heaven forbid, I have nothing against them; everyone knows this. I never signed anything against Rabbi Berland shlit"a and his community. All that I signed was regarding the harm done to my brother-in-law, Rabbi Kramer."
