On erev Shabbos 16 Tammuz is was reported that Rabbi Eliezer Berland was hospitalized in Holland. However it has since been learned that when chassidim wished to inquire into the well-being of the rav, he was nowhere to be found, leading to the question where he is at present.
Last week the Supreme Court in Holland rejected the rabbi’s appeal and ruled that he should be handed over to Israel Police, honoring an Israeli extradition request. While no one is saying with absolute certainty what is going on, it is believed the rav managed to flee Holland to a country that does not have an extradition treaty with Israel.
Chassidim who met with the rav in recent days report the rav instructed them to return to Israel, adding “these are my last days in Holland”, leading to the belief the rav is on the run once again. Rabbi Dror Tzanani, a member of the rav’s inner circle, told chassidim that to the best of his knowledge Rabbi Berland left Holland for a place that will not hand him over to Israel. Hundreds of the rav’s chassidim are in Holland and it is to be determined if they will now return to Israel. According to reports from the Shuvu Banim community, some are returning home while others are waiting in Holland.
It is pointed out that this is all speculation and the only thing that is known is that Rabbi Berland has vanished following the High Court ruling against him.

Why do you persist in referring to him as “the Rav”? It sounds to me that he is a total creep & not worthy of the title. Unless, of course, he is “teaching” his followers the tricks of his trade.
When will they learn that no one can touch the Tzaddik?!
He will return to Israel whenever he wished to and no one can force him. He is on a Global mission to return lost Jews to their father in Heaven, no one can stop him from doing this no matter how hard they try. They tried stopping him in Israel to no success and they will not succeed in chu”l either. When will they learn? Look what is happening to the Israeli police, the same people who started the war with him are falling one by one. Perverted people who are covering up their own daily perversion by creating false claims on the Tzaddik. Ochlei Chazir, Bo’alei Nidah, Michalelei shabbat have no power whatsoever over the Tzaddik.
He already made it clear that he will not stop until he brings the Moshiach. Don’t waste your time and energy looking for him and chasing. You are making fools of yourselves. If these accusations were on a regular person who is actually guilty of it, he would not sit one day in jail, and you would not search worldwide for him. The policemen who rape are let off the hook the next day. So why are you spending millions of shekels in your war against the Tzaddik? It is a war against religion and you are making it clearer by the day.
Just like King David and his small group that stuck with him were chased by his fellow Jews and later became king of Israel, so will he with Rav Berland. The day will come…
כִּי יוֹם נָקָם בְּלִבִּי וּשְׁנַת גְּאוּלַי בָּאָה.
It will come soon. Don’t worry he’ll be back in Israel, but none of those who chased him will be there.

יִשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעֹשָׂיו בְּנֵי צִיּוֹן יָגִילוּ בְמַלְכָּם
according to an Israeli news site he is in either Venezuela or Brasil
Very honorable “holy” man with strong integrity. Dosn’t seem to care which country he can make a chilul hashem as long as he can stay out of jail. Lo Signov and Lo Sishaker are mitzvos given to “holy” men also and they are subject to the same yetzer hora that us plain old Jews have. And guess what. They are human.
According to Bechadrei Chareidim he has managed to get to Guatamala via the Ukraine.
In Holland the kehilla sighs a sigh of relief and are waiting for his Chasidim to leave too. Although the Rav gave the impression of being a Tzaddik, and some of his followers are indeed good sincere people, but the majority have been hanging around, making noise late at night, begging money and leaving the area filthy. Suddenly a local supermarket, where many local Jewish people shop, started following any Jewish customer who entered the store by a security agent. One can only wonder why? Did some of them shoplift? A great Chilul haShem.
Yawn
I would advise him to keep away from eastern upstate New York near the Canadian border.
Why is he called Rav? He’s an escapee, a possible felon, & some posters are virtually kissing his feet? Someone said he had super powers. I really don’t get this kool-aid stuff.
