A Prayer to Merit a Covenant with Hashem, an Abundance of Heartfelt Blessings, to Circumcise the Foreskin of Our Hearts, and to Walk in the Path and Counsel [of the Tzaddikim]

"Go forth and gaze, O daughters of Zion, upon King Solomon, upon the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, and on the day of the gladness of his heart" (Song of Songs 3:11). For the Exodus from Egypt is the "day of the gladness of His heart," in the secret of "no uncircumcised person shall eat of it" (Exodus 12:48), in the secret of "let all his males be circumcised... and every servant bought with money... then shall he eat of it."

Prayer for the 4th Week of Shovavim

Master of the Universe, the Omnipotent One, grant me the merit during this fourth week of Shovavim (the winter weeks designated for repentance), which corresponds to the Sefirah of Netzach (Eternity/Victory), in the secret of "And also the Eternity (Netzach) 154 of Israel 541 will not 31 lie 610 and will not 37 repent 108 = 1481" (I Samuel 15:29), because a covenant 612 is cut 631 between 62 Hashem 26 and His people 122 = 1453, and through Hashem who is One 1, [there is an] abundance 450 of blessings 628 from the depths 342 of the heart 32 = 1453. Please, Hashem, "Who pleads 207 [for] 401 our cause 268 and judges 60 [for] 401 our claim 120 = 1457," and through "no uncircumcised person shall eat of it," may we merit that You circumcise the foreskin of our hearts, "and set us for praise, and for a name 376, and for glory 1117 = 1457." Please, Hashem, the Mighty One, Who gives 506 salvation 781 to kings 170 = 1457, for Hashem helps whoever has the tzaddik with him. Save us from the counsel of the wicked and from the seat of scoffers. Please, Hashem, save us from the counsel of the wicked and from the seat of scoffers, and I will no longer walk in the counsel of the wicked, for their path will perish. [I will walk] only in the counsel of the tzaddikim, whose righteousness and counsel endure forever. And through this, "and by His word 295 He created 203 the heavens 458, and by the breath 222 of His mouth 96 all 50 their host 133 = 1457." Please, Hashem, Maker of wonders, "To Him who alone 42 does 405 great 443 wonders 567 = 1457, for His lovingkindness is eternal." Please, Hashem, behold I believe only in the Chesed (Lovingkindness) 74 within Tiferet (Beauty/Harmony) 1383 = 1457. Please, Hashem, in the merit of the fourth week of Shovavim, "Act 375 for the sake 190 of Your great 48, mighty 216, and awesome 268 Name 360 = 1457, which is proclaimed upon us."

For the complete healing and salvation of the new mother, Odel bas Gila, upon the birth of her daughter in a good and auspicious hour (Mazal Tov). May her parents merit to reap true Jewish joy (nachas) from all their descendants.
