This is the story directly from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. The Yeshiva has now also opened a 24-hour English information line which is constantly updated.

Rabbi Berland was also interviewed last night on Israel’s Channel 2 TV station. This was one of the two stations that aired the claims against the Rabbi and who had been attacking him for two years, say his followers. The Channel has, they say, done an about turn and are speaking in favour of the Rabbi now.
