WATCH: Singing, Dancing, and Shiur Torah Amidst Heavy Snow – "The Seal of the King is Irrevocable" – R’ Eliezer Berland Shlit”a

THE COURTYARD OF OUR REBBE RAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT”A ON IDO HANAVI ST. IN THE MIDST OF THE HEAVIEST SNOW STORM IN SEVERAL YEARS -- 25 SHEVAT 5782. Immediately after the Ma’ariv prayer, the Rav began to sing with the community for several minutes: “ESTHER SPOKE AGAIN BEFORE THE KING, FELL BEFORE HIS FEET, WEPT AND IMPLORED HIM” (ESTHER 8:3). “MY G-D, MY G-D, WHY HAVE YOU ABANDONED ME?” (TEHILIM 22). After the singing, the Rav continued, saying: “Then what did Achashverosh say to her?...  ‘Forgive me, you’re very important and precious to me, but what can I do?’ “’[That which is] sealed with the king’s signet ring can’t be revoked.’  One who is sealed by the Tzaddik, then that’s it – it’s an eternal seal and can’t be revoked! “Now we are all travelling to Uman.  There are already planes ready.  Within five minutes everyone will be in the planes.”
