Huh. Sorry to disappoint.

I still remember the last time that man’s most famous follower promised (!) in the name of “hidden tzaddikim” Mashiach would come on a certain day, which then passed (probably quoting the cult leader)…

You think maybe Berland was… lying?

Read a first-person account of the Big Nothing by one of the cult’s main missionaries.

Short version: Boreland announced a party, then hid in his room and left everyone hanging independently with zero explanation (his M.O., by the way).

Some screenshots (Edited to leave out the pathetic ex post facto excuses, etc.):

Apparently, this isn’t the first time Boreland made false, messianic prophecies, either!

But not to feel crushed! As usual for Doomsday cults, the final dates are pushed off into the future, yet again…

Hebrew Wikipedia summarises the latest:

החל משנת 2024, חוזר ברלנד שוב ושוב על כך שהגאולה קרובה והמשיח עומד להתגלות. כמה מתלמידיו הקרובים מעידים כי שמעו מפיו כי הוא עצמו מלך המשיח והוא עומד להתגלות “בקרוב”. תלמידו הרב שלמה אלמליח, טוען כי ברלנד הורה להפיץ את משיחיותו ברבים: “כאשר העם יפסיקו להילחם נגדי ויקבלו כולם שאני משיח צדקנו, משיח בן דוד, אזי אני אפתח את הפה ואגלה סודות על סודות, וארחיב את כל תורת משיח”.^[1] בקהילת “שובו בנים” חצויות הדעות האם מדובר במסר פנימי או במסר שיש לפרסם.^[2]

This Elmaliach lunatic actually says their messiah will reveal himself the night of Purim. So, another reason for real Jews to look forward to Purim!

He’s not just an adulterer, murderer, etc., etc.

He doesn’t just trick the downtrodden into giving him money for fake “pidyonos” and fake medicine.

He doesn’t just promote the Sabbatean heresy a “tzaddik” is allowed to do Aveiros.

Osso Ha’ish incites his evil followers to pray to him. Ha, I’ll bet you didn’t know that one…

Yes yes, pray TO HIM.

Hear the sickening audio evidence on YouTube here:

Yemach shemo vezichro!

From YWN.

And they weren’t holy, either. Quoting Matzav: “A second detainee was the husband of a woman who has told police she was forced by sect members to lure one of the victims to a specific location.”

Let’s hope they implicate the head of the cult, as well.

We have written already about The TRUE Berland Scandal: Why Did Rabbis In the Know Delay Protesting So Long?!

An excerpt:

Without naming names, read this short work (next reworked into this) to see what I mean. Many, many rabbis and others knew what was happening, but they closed their eyes, allowed themselves to be intimidated into silence (or even being photographed with him!), gave ridiculous excuses (such as: “This is an internal Breslov affair” (?!), p. 15 here), and the like.

They themselves admit to knowing the facts for decades (even less justifiable than all the cases of rabbinic ignorance, such as Elior Chen), see here p. 32. Some excused him by just calling him “crazy”, see the last pages of this. Is every Rasha, then, literally crazy?!

In a class by Rabbi Yom Tov Cheshin (הרב יום טוב חשין שליט”א – סוד הזעקה הגואלת: here, at 3:27) he describes his whistleblowing meeting with Rabbi Shechter about Berland yemach shemo.

He records Rabbi Shechter as saying people feared for their lives, so they stayed silent but knew the truth about Berland 40 years ago.

I don’t know if this can be taken literally. Didn’t Rabbi Shechter actually meet with the Berland abomination in front of cameras? Was that, too, Pikuach Nefesh?! And why couldn’t any of the parties in the know ever start a “whispering campaign”, at least?!

For an attempted defense, among other things, see here.
