Report: Rabbi Berland was detained and released

Restlessness in Zimbabwe: Rabbi Eliezer Berland , leader of Shuvu Banim Congregation - Breslov , who settled in a country in southern Africa , is suffering in recent days harassment by state authorities and was detained for questioning , according to a report from his yard.

A few days ago a major newspaper in Zimbabwe - initiated by interested parties - published a defamatory article about the Rabbi with citations from articles published in Israel. Local authorities have started harassment against the Rabbi. He was detained for questioning and released home and is staying with his associate businessman Yaron Yemin.

Grounds for questioning are probably among others, his behavior - illegally - from one of his followers who killed a sheep without the supervision required by law. However this is only a formal ground.

At this time it is still not clear what will become of Rabbi Berland, will he be forced to leave the African continent country or could he continue to stay in place.
Hgr"e Berland left Morocco left four months ago and has been staying in Zimbabwe. Followers tend to arrive to spend time with him.

Associate of Rabbi Berland in a message to Behadrey Haredim "we are trying to get over the new case and God willing we hope that all be well again. Meantime we ask all followers of the Rabbi, to please pray for him so that everything will be resolved for the better."

Behadrey Haredim will continue to follow.
