Four hundred chassidim have traveled to Morocco to join the many chassidim already spending Sukkos with Rav Berland in Morocco.
On Wednesday morning, 21 Tishrei 5774, erev Simchas Torah in Eretz Yisrael, a flight carrying 70 chassidim left Ben-Gurion International Airport for Barcelona in addition to an estimated 300 chassidim traveling from other areas to be with Rav Berland for the last days of Sukkos.
Rabbi Berland fled Israel to avoid arrest, and if he returns to Israel he will be placed in custody.

I wish both Rav Berland & Eric Snowden a Pisko Tovo, and hope that they both be left alone and able to return to their homelands without fear of arrest.
I have utmost respect for both of them.

How can he be called a Rav and still have Chasidim when he has admitted to improper behavior with women, both single and married?
i want all ywn readers to know that the accusations made against rav berland were just the israeli goverment trying to lock him up bec he has a massive teshuva movement going on in israel and the tziyonim ym’s dont want that i have personally spoken to big gedolim in breslov who told me that the accusations made against him are false im writing this bec ywn in the past has had reports about him and the comments were very negative and i just want all the readers to know that he is innocent!
i would like to know what is going on? how come the accusers seem so serious and sincere? this is not some secular israeli accusing him, it’s frum people
