NEW: Beis Din of the Badatz against the persecution and slander of Rabbi Berland

Three of the biggest Batei Din (Jewish Courts) in Israel just issued a ruling against the persecution and slander of Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a.

The psak din is signed by the Beis Din of Badatz Eida Chareidis, Beis din of Rav Nissim Karelitz and Beis Din of Rav Shmuel Wosner.

In the letter issued directly by the Beis Din and which holds halachic authority throughout the entire Jewish world as many of the top Gedolei Yisroel are signed below, states: "To stop immediately all hatred, persecution, arguments and slander, in writing and in speech, and in all form of media and publication." Below the signatures of the Batei Din are the signatures of other leading Rabbinical authorities such as the Raavad Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, and the Gaavad Rabbi Yitzchak Tuvia Weiss, and others.

The following is the contents of the letter of Beis Din:
