A Prayer to Merit, at the Time I Leave the Sukkah of the Leviathan's Skin Made of Fire, to do Teshuvah for Everything
"A Prayer Before Leaving and Parting from the Sukkah"
Master of the Universe, Almighty, before we leave the Sukkah—the Sukkah made of the skin of the Leviathan, which is the Sukkah of the Fiftieth Gate. As it is written regarding the daughters of Tzelafchad, "And Moshe brought their case [before Hashem]" (Numbers 27:5), where the letter Nun in the word mishpatan (their case) is an enlarged Nun. For the Geulah (Redemption) will come through the rectification of the Nuns [the inverted letters Nun] found in the verses of Parashat Behaalotecha, before and after the passage, "And it came to pass when the Ark traveled" (Numbers 10:35). For Rabbi Zeira would enter the fire every thirty days, and the Sukkah itself is a Sukkah of fire. Not everyone merits to enter it—only select individuals—to eat, sleep, and learn within it. And now, before we leave the Sukkah of fire, as it is written, "And I will be to her for glory and a canopy, and fire she shall be by night." For Devorah the prophetess, who was Eshet Lapidot (the wife of Lapidot), merited to be surrounded day and night by a wall of fire. Therefore, she was called Eshet Lapidot (a woman of torches), because people would see sparks of fire emerging from her tent at the time she was prophesying. And now, before we leave the Sukkah, the Sukkah of the Leviathan which is made of fire, we pour out our supplications before You. We bow and prostrate before You, and we do complete teshuvah (repentance) for all our sins and blemishes—that we have blemished and sinned from the time we were reincarnated and spiritually incorporated within Adam HaRishon (the First Man). As it is stated [regarding the offerings of the Princes], "one hundred and thirty [shekels] was its weight" (Numbers 7:13), because the Nesi'im (Princes of the Tribes) drew down tikkunim (rectifications) reaching all the way back to the first one hundred and thirty years of Adam HaRishon.
For the success of the Rav and the Rebbetzin and all their family members, materially and spiritually.
BS"D (With the help of Heaven) 1326
To merit, at the time I leave the Sukkah of the Leviathan's skin made of fire, to do teshuvah (repentance) for all my sins, including the time we were reincarnated and spiritually incorporated within Adam HaRishon.
