A Prayer for the Merit that Morinu HaRav Will Live and Not Die, Heaven Forbid

Master of the Universe, have mercy on my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a, that he should live and not die. Master of the Universe, have mercy on my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a (cry out until the soul is exhausted). He is entirely bound and tied in chains, wounded in body and soul, for You bring upon him all the suffering in the world and all the harsh judgments; the strength of the bearer has stumbled. Have mercy on him, for he is willing to accept upon himself all the suffering in the world, to wander every day through all the supernal chambers, and to pass each and every day through all seven levels of Gehenom. He does this with endless devotion, with literal mesirus nefesh (self-sacrifice), through afflictions of the body and afflictions of the soul, with absolutely infinite prayers, supplications, requests, and mortifications. Master of the Universe, oy, have mercy on him, have mercy! (Say this until you feel you are collapsing). Have mercy on the entire holy community. Have mercy on the thirty-six hidden tzaddikim of the generation who take upon themselves all the suffering of this world, oy, oy, oy... Master of the Universe, have mercy on him and on us, and nullify from upon us and from upon all the Nation of Israel all the terrible judgments, so that we may live and not die. Have mercy on the Nation of Israel, have mercy on the Nation of Israel! "Behold, we are in Your hands like clay in the hands of the potter." Have mercy on my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a. Have mercy on us and on Your entire Nation of Israel. Give us hope, so that we do not waste our days and our years in vanity and emptiness. Have mercy on the Congregation of Israel, Your holy nation that is drawn after You, a bride called with sweetness in Your love and Your compassion. Nullify all the harsh judgments from upon my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a, from upon us, and from upon the entire Nation of Israel, both materially and spiritually. Save us from the fire of anger that burns within us day and night, through which we ignite the fire of Gehenom and awaken harsh judgments upon ourselves and upon Your nation, the House of Israel. Give us hope so that we will not die, and may we bring about this year the vengeance for the spilled blood of Your servants. In this merit, may we be worthy of the coming of our righteous Mashiach and the complete Geulah (Redemption) speedily, Amen and Amen.

BS"D 647

For the merit that Morinu HaRav will live and not die, Heaven forbid, as he takes upon himself the suffering of the world, and that all harsh judgments will be nullified from upon the Rav and the holy community.
