A Prayer to Merit, in the Merit of Eating on Erev Yom Kippur, to Connect the Heels of Leah with the Crown of Rachel and for the Revelation of the Sparks of Fire
BEFORE EATING ON EREV YOM KIPPUR
"On the ninth of the month you shall afflict your souls," because the ninth of the month is actually Yom Kippur itself, which falls on Parshat "Listen, O heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth." For then the heels of Leah, who is called "heavens," enter into the crown of Rachel, who is called "the earth." And the crown of Rachel turns into the heels of Leah, into the shoe of Leah, into the sole of Leah, in the aspect of 'what humility made as a heel for its sole, fear made as a crown for its head.' For the shoe of Leah is literally the crown of Rachel, and from the shoe of Leah the crown of Rachel is made. This is the secret that through Luz one enters Beit El, and Luz is Leah, the secret of the resurrection of the dead, the secret of the city of Luz where the Techelet (blue dye) is made, and the Angel of Death has no permission to enter it, nor did Sennacherib have permission to enter, and Nebuchadnezzar did not destroy it. For Og King of Bashan and Sichon King of the Amorites equal in Gematria "Elef" (one thousand), in the secret of "The thousand are for you, Shlomo, and two hundred for those who guard its fruit." "For love is strong as death, jealousy is hard as the grave; its sparks are sparks of fire, a flame of Hashem." For on Erev Yom Kippur, the sparks of fire, the flame of Hashem, are revealed. On Erev Yom Kippur, sparks upon sparks of the flaming fire of the love of Hashem are revealed, and this is revealed specifically through eating. For then the eating is on the level of the Yom Kippur fast, when Malchus (Kingship) ascends to Binah (Understanding). Because Leah was already separated (Nesirah) on the first day, and for Rachel ............... the separation continues until Erev Yom Kippur, when 'Hod, Yesod, Malchus' are separated, and then the verse is fulfilled: "May You add days to the days of the king, may his years be as generation to generation"—the unification of Rachel and Leah.
TO MERIT, IN THE MERIT OF THE YOM KIPPUR PRAYER, TO FIND FAVOR IN THE EYES OF HASHEM AND TO BE STRENGTHENED IN THE GOOD POINT WITHIN ME: "I WILL SING TO MY GOD WHILE I STILL EXIST"
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, in the merit of the prayer of Yom (56) HaKippurim (361) = 417, grant me the merit, O Good (17) God (31), full (71) of mercy (298) = 417, with thanksgiving (32) to the Creator (239) of the world (146) = 417. Grant me the merit of the verse "And Noach (64) found (131) favor (58) in the eyes (142) of Hashem (26) = 421", and I will merit ........... 287 eye (130) = 417, with the help of Heaven, in Mashiach (360) ben (52) David (14) = 426. And I will merit, in the merit of the prayers of Yom Kippur, with love (13) and brotherhood (26) and peace (382) = 421. Please Hashem, "I will sing (213) to my God (76) while I still exist (86)" = 421, and I will enter with my physical body into the Garden (53) of Eden (24) = 177, in the merit.
TO MERIT, IN THE MERIT OF THE SEUDAH MAFSEKET (PRE-FAST MEAL), TO BE INCLUDED IN ADAM KADMON, TO ADD LOVE AND JOY TO YOUR LOVE AND JOY, TO SUBDUE THE 11 CHIEFTAINS OF ESAU, AND THAT EVERYTHING WILL TURN TO GOOD
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit, in the merit of the Seudah Mafseket, to be included in Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon. And as much as my wounds and pain increase, I will add love to Your love and my joy to Your joy. Through eating the Seudah Mafseket, I will merit to draw down souls from the Arich of Zeir Anpin of Atzilut, who will only love Hashem and think about Hashem day and night = 177. And through this, I will enter with my physical body into the Garden of Eden = 177, like Serach the daughter of Asher, who subdued the 11 chieftains of Esau, and in whom the verse was fulfilled: "And it was turned about, that the Jews (501) had rule (355) they (50) over them that hated them (414)" = 1411.
TO MERIT TO DRAW DOWN ON YOM KIPPUR THE LIGHTS OF CHANUKAH, WHICH WERE MIRACLES BEYOND THE WAY OF NATURE, TO MERIT TO ACCEPT ALL EMBARRASSMENTS AND INSULTS WITH LOVE, TO CROWN HASHEM AT EVERY MOMENT AND SECOND, AND THAT RACHEL WILL BE INCLUDED IN LEAH
Master of the Universe, "Please forgive the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt until now" (the acronym spells Chanukah). Please Hashem, grant me the merit to draw down already on Yom Kippur all the lights of Chanukah, which is a festival of miracles and wonders beyond the way of nature. Please Hashem, grant me anew all the miracles and wonders that You performed for Your people Israel in the days of Chanukah, when the few defeated the many, the righteous defeated the wicked, the weak defeated the strong, and You delivered the arrogant into the hands of those who engage in Your Torah. For the power of the Torah is the strongest power of all, and it conquers everything, in the aspect of "Sing to the One who rejoices when He is defeated." And all my days I will accept embarrassments with love, and in all the insults with which they insult me, I will only add love upon love for Hashem, blessed be He. I will accept the "I am that I am" (Eheyeh asher Eheyeh) with immense joy, and through this, I will include Rachel in Leah, in the aspect of "From generation to generation we will declare Your greatness, and to all eternity we will sanctify Your holiness, and Your praise, our God, shall not depart from our mouths forever and ever." From generation to generation is the aspect of Rachel and Leah, for one must be included in both aspects of Rachel and Leah, which in Gematria equals Ra'ad (trembling) = 274, in the aspect of "The mighty men of Moab, trembling (Ra'ad) grips them" = Rachel Leah = 274. And Rachel will be included in Leah, and there will be the complete Geulah (Redemption), Mashiach ben David will be revealed, and the Third Temple of fire will descend in the blink of an eye, Amen, Netzach, Selah, Va'ed.
TO MERIT DURING THE NEILAH PRAYER, WHEN PRAYER IS MOST ACCEPTED, TO INCLUDE RACHEL IN LEAH, TO SUBDUE ALL THE ARODIM (DEMONS/WILD DONKEYS) IN THE WORLD, THAT ALL SINS WILL BE ATONED FOR AND TURNED INTO MERITS, AND TO CLEAVE TO HASHEM COMPLETELY
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, during the time of the locking of the gates (Neilah), when prayer is most accepted, and Rachel and Leah are included in one another, then "The mighty men of Moab, trembling (Ra'ad) grips them" = 274 = Rachel Leah. And then all the Arodim (Arad = Rachel Leah = 274) are subdued. For Mordechai, who is Rav Chesed (abundant in kindness), in Gematria equals Rachel Leah = 274, who merited to include Rachel in Leah, merited to bring the Geulah and build the Second Temple ........... Then the King of Arad, the King of Amalek, is subdued, and then Asael appears, who is light on his feet like one of the deer in the field. Rashi explains that he flew in the air, because through the connection of Rachel with Leah, and the crown of Rachel turning into the shoe of Leah, it is literally possible to fly in the air, like Asael and Avishai when he flew in the air to save David. And then all sins are atoned for and turned into merits through teshuvah (repentance) out of love, and then we cleave to Hashem of Hosts, a cleaving that never ceases forever.
TO MERIT EMUNAH (FAITH) IN HASHEM, TO KNOW THAT THERE IS NOTHING BESIDES HIM, BLESSED BE HE, TO PERSIST IN THE STUDY OF KETZOT HACHOSHEN, TO STUDY THE TEACHINGS OF RAV HAI GAON, AND TO MERIT THE REVELATION OF ASAEL
A Prayer for the "Gott's Namen" (Name of God)
Master of the Universe, grant me the merit of the Gott's Namen, to see Hashem face to face, after we have called out 100 times and cried "The living and enduring God!" To know that Hashem is living and enduring at every moment and every second, and there is no second without Him, and there is no breath without Him. And may we always study the Ketzot HaChoshen with the Maharit in the original text, and all the teachings of Rav Hai Gaon, who could resurrect the dead at every moment and second. Anyone who mentions Rav Hai Gaon has the power in his hands to resurrect all the dead in the world. And then we merit the revelation of Asael, who would fly in the air like one of the deer in the field, running and flying over the tops of the ears of grain.
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit on the night after Simchat Torah to be awake all night and to make Hakafot (circuits) throughout all of Jerusalem, as it is said: "Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count her towers. Mark well her ramparts, traverse her palaces." And through the circuits that we will circle all of Jerusalem in the Hakafot of Motzaei Simchat Torah, which is the time of handing over the notes (pitkim) to the runners, and through the dancing until the morning light and until Vatikin (sunrise), when all the bad notes are torn up and new notes of good decrees, salvations, and consolations are written. And through the dancing, completely new souls are drawn down that never existed before, that never sinned any sin and never caused any blemish. And these souls will be the guides for the souls of this generation.
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, before I go up to the Torah with awe and love, and love and awe, grant us the merit to ascend immediately to Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon. And I will merit then to include Rachel in Leah and Leah in Rachel. And through "The mighty men of Moab, trembling (Ra'ad) grips them" = 274, through the tzaddik who is in the aspect of Mordechai and Rav (208) Chesed (72) = 274, who increases charity and kindness with each and every one. And through this, Rachel is included in Leah and Leah in Rachel. And through this, "You shall put a space between drove and drove," just as he came from Migdal Eder (the Tower of the Flock)—the connection of Rachel Leah = 274. Therefore, an animal found outside Jerusalem without an owner, at the distance of Jerusalem from Migdal Eder, is holy, because it is drawn from the aspect of Eder ........... Rachel Leah = {274}, the King of Amalek, and then all the Arodim in the world are subdued.
TO MERIT, IN THE MERIT AND POWER OF PARSHAT HA'AZINU, TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MIRACLES AND WONDERS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE, TO BE INCLUDED IN MOSHE AND YESHAYAHU WHO RECTIFIED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, AND TO KNOW THAT HASHEM IS GOD
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, from whom no purpose can be withheld, grant me the merit, in the merit of Parshat Ha'azinu, which deals with all the miracles and wonders that happened to the Jewish people since becoming a nation from the 15th of Nissan 2448 until our days in 5778, which is 3330 years, and with the year 5779, and from the day the Mishkan (Tabernacle) was established in the year 2449, and all the miracles and wonders that will be performed for the Jewish people until the end of all generations. "See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand." From the heavens to the earth, from the heights of the firmament to the depths of the great abyss. "Forty years in the wilderness your clothes did not wear out upon you, and your shoe did not wear out upon your foot. You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink; that you might know that I am Hashem your God. And when you came to this place, Sichon the king of Cheshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them. And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites." "For I lift up My hand to heaven, and say: As I live forever, if I whet My glittering sword, and My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to My adversaries, and will recompense them that hate Me. I will make My arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh; with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy. Sing aloud, O you nations, of His people; for He does avenge the blood of His servants, and renders vengeance to His adversaries, and makes expiation for the land of His people." For Moshe Rabbeinu rectified the heavens, the male waters, and therefore he says, "Listen, O heavens." And Yeshayahu rectified the earth, the female waters, and therefore he says, "Listen, O earth," {...........}
TO MERIT, IN THE MERIT OF THE ETROG, THE LIGHTS OF ADAM KADMON, TO SEE HASHEM LITERALLY FACE TO FACE, AND FOR SUPREME PROTECTION
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, from whom no purpose can be withheld, grant me the merit as I leave the year 5778 and enter the year 5779, to the lights ........... to the lights .................... the supreme ................ through taking the Etrog, the lights of Adam Kadmon, Adam of Adam Kadmon. And already in the word ........... we will merit the lights of Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon. For Etrog in Gematria is 610, with the Kollel (the word itself) it is 611, Gematria ........... ........... Please Hashem, grant me the merit through taking the Etrog and all the Four Species to reach Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon, and I will merit to see Hashem literally face to face, as it is said, "Face to face" {Va'etchanan Hashem 4}, face to face, and we will merit to see Hashem literally, as it is said, "Hashem is your keeper; Hashem is your shade upon your right hand."
TO MERIT THROUGH TAKING THE LULAV TO SEE HASHEM LITERALLY FACE TO FACE, AND FOR TRUE JOY OF THE HEART IN EMUNAH
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit through taking the Lulav, to see Hashem face to face. For through taking the Lulav, one merits the crown of Adam Kadmon, and through this, one merits the secret of the crown (Atarah), as it is said, "Go forth, O you daughters of Zion, and gaze upon King Shlomo, even upon the crown with which his mother has crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart." For through taking the Lulav, one merits joy of the heart in truth and Emunah, and the crown of the crown of Adam Kadmon. And we merit that Hashem literally reveals Himself to us in the blink of an eye = 435, and through this, Hashem is One = 1, we will see Mashiach ben David = 424 = 435, eye to eye, face to face, as it is said, "Face to face Hashem spoke with you" {Va'etchanan Hashem 4}.
FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE RAV AND THE RABBANIT SHLIT"A AND ALL THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS, PHYSICALLY AND SPIRITUALLY
TO MERIT TO DO TESHUVAH OUT OF LOVE, FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, TO RECTIFY EVERYTHING IN THE MERIT OF THE BLOWING OF THE SHOFAR OF ROSH HASHANAH, TO BE INCLUDED IN ADAM KADMON, AND TO PURIFY THE WORLD
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit in these Ten Days of Repentance for true teshuvah (repentance). For every thought of teshuvah in these ten days is like a million years of teshuvah. For in these days we rectify all that we have blemished in all the ten Sefirot of Adam Kadmon, Atik and Arich, Abba and Imma, Zeir Anpin and Malchus; from Keter, Chochmah, Binah, Da'at, Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod, Malchus. And all that I have blemished in all the days of my life and in all my reincarnations, and in the sin of Adam HaRishon, will be rectified now completely, as if I had never sinned at all. And also my portion in the sin of Adam HaRishon will be rectified completely, as if I had never sinned, as it is said, "They shall not be remembered, neither shall they come to mind anymore." For in these 22 days from the 1st of Tishrei until the 22nd of Tishrei, Simchat Torah, in the Keter we rectify everything. And therefore, two weeks before the 1st of Tishrei, we read the Parshah of Bikkurim (first fruits): "That you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Hashem your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket (Tene)." The basket (HaTene) = Adn"y = 65, that we merit in these days from the 1st of Tishrei until the 22nd of Tishrei, Simchat Torah, to rectify the Name Adn"y, which is the Gematria of HaTene completely. And we rectify all the severe judgments (Gevurot) in the world, and we rectify all the burning anger of Hashem, and we turn all the curses into blessings. And in the merit of the blowing of the Shofar that we heard on the two days of Rosh Hashanah, all our iniquities, sins, and rebellions will be turned into merits through teshuvah out of love. And we will merit to ascend from Arka to Tevel, where there is wealth and the forgiveness of sins. And we will merit the perfection of Da'at (knowledge) and intellect, and we will merit to connect Chochmah, Binah, and Da'at. And we will merit in these 22 days to rectify all the blemishes and sins that we blemished all the days of our lives in the Sefirah of Malchus, and we will elevate everything to Binah. And we will merit on the 7th of Tishrei to rectify the Sefirah of Tiferet completely, which includes all the Sefirot. And we will merit in these days to rectify the Gehennom of snow from the side of the Nukva (female aspect), and the Gehennom of fire from the side of the Duchra (male aspect). And we will merit to ascend in these 22 days to the Keter of Adam Kadmon, as it is said regarding Devorah the Prophetess, "And she sat between HaRamah and Beit El." Ramah = Adam Kadmon = 245, in the secret of "And the children of Israel went out with a high hand (Ramah)" = Adam Kadmon = 245. And all our spiritual work all year long will be to be included in Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon, and to draw down the feet of Adam Kadmon to this world, and to purify the entire world through the feet of Adam Kadmon, as we read in the Haftarah of Chol HaMoed, "And His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives." "And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea (HaYam HaKadmoni), and half of them toward the western sea (HaYam HaAcharon)." The secret of Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon, the secret of the ancient brook (Nachal Kedumim), the brook of Kishon. "And half of them toward the western sea"—the Sefirah of Malchus of Adam Kadmon.
TO MERIT UPON MY ENTERING THE SUKKAH AND TAKING THE FOUR SPECIES TO INCLUDE TASTE AND SMELL WITH THE LIGHT OF EMUNAH IN THE TZADDIK, AND TO BE INCLUDED TOGETHER WITH ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL IN RETURNING IN TESHUVAH OUT OF LOVE
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, at the hour that I enter the Sukkah and take the Four Species, which are: the "Lulav," corresponding to the final True Tzaddik, corresponding to the Congregation of Israel, which is called pleasant. And the Lulav, which symbolizes the date palm, which is entirely taste, and about which it is said, "A land flowing with milk and honey." As it is written (Ketubot 111b): Rabbah bar bar Chana said, "I myself saw the flow of milk and honey of the entire Land of Israel, and it is like from Bei Michse to the Fort of Tulbanke, twenty-two parasangs long and sixteen parasangs wide." And it is all a mixture of honey dripping from the dates and milk from the goats. And as Rabbi Yaakov ben Dostai said, that he was in Lod and walked to Kiryat Ono early in the morning, and he waded up to his ankles in honey dripping from the dates and in milk dripping from the goats. And Reish Lakish said, "I saw the milk and honey of Tzippori, milk from the goats and honey from the dates, and I walked in them up to my ankles." And the Hadasim (myrtles), which have smell but no taste, because taste is the study of the holy Torah, and smell is good deeds, and through the Hadasim one merits good deeds, and therefore they are tripled. The Midrash says they correspond to Chananya, Mishael, and Azarya, who jumped into the fiery furnace, because through the Hadasim one merits to jump into the fiery furnace in holiness and purity like Avraham Avinu, and like Chananya, Mishael, and Azarya. And the final rectification that we rectify in the Sukkah and through the Four Species is the Aravei Nachal (willows of the brook), that all the people of Israel merit to return in teshuvah, in the merit that we take and wave the Aravei Nachal in the Sukkah, during Hallel and Hoshanot. And therefore we cry out with the Four Species, "Hoshana" (Save us please), and the willows are called "Hoshana," because through them the entire Jewish people return in complete teshuvah, still in this year, the year 5779, "For in the coming of Mashiach I believe."
TO MERIT A COMPLETE HEALING, THAT OUR HORN BE RAISED HIGH, AND TO MERIT ALACRITY
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, send me a complete healing = 667 in the merit of Mordechai the Jew and Esther the Queen. Please Hashem, Father (4), merciful and gracious, Hashem is One (1), "And through Your salvation You shall raise (650) and elevate (424) our horn (406)" = 2301 on high. And send me a complete healing in the blink of an eye, and "Naftali (570) is a hind (46) let loose (349); he gives (511) beautiful (251) words (580)" = 2301.
B"H
TO MERIT, IN THE MERIT OF PARSHAT HA'AZINU, TO KNOW THAT THERE IS NONE BESIDES HIM, AND TO BE INCLUDED IN THE DAUGHTER OF YIFTACH WHO MERITED THE HIGHEST LEVEL, THE ASPECT OF YECHIDAH
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, it is written in the Parshah: "And Hashem saw, and spurned, because of the provoking of His sons and His daughters. And He said: 'I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.'" "But Yeshurun waxed fat, and kicked—you did wax fat, you did grow thick, you did become gross—and he forsook God who made him, and contemned the Rock of his salvation. They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations did they provoke Him. They sacrificed unto demons, no-gods, gods that they knew not, new gods that came up of late, which your fathers dreaded not. Of the Rock that begot you, you were unmindful, and did forget God that bore you." Let us not act like Yiftach, who wanted to sacrifice his daughter until a Heavenly Voice (Bat Kol) came forth from the heights and said to him, like at the Binding of Yitzchak, "Do not lay your hand upon the youth" {Abudarham, end of the Ma'amar on the Tekufot}. For the daughter of Yiftach was in the aspect of Yechidah, as it is said, "And she was his only child (Yechidah)," because she was the only one of all the daughters of her generation who merited the aspect of Yechidah—to Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah, Chayah, Yechidah. So too, grant us the merit, in the merit of reading Ha'azinu this Shabbat, to reach the aspect of Yechidah, to know that there is none besides Him, and only He is the living and enduring God, and there is none besides Him living in this world and in the World to Come, for the days of Mashiach and for the resurrection of the dead.
TO MERIT ON THE YAHRTZEIT OF RABBI AKIVA EIGER, WHO MERITED TO LEAD ALL THE WORLDS AND WAS IN THE ASPECT OF MOSHE RABBEINU IN OUR GENERATION
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, today, the 13th of Tishrei, is the Yahrtzeit (anniversary of passing) of our great teacher Rabbi Akiva Eiger, who was literally the soul of Moshe Rabbeinu of our generation, in the secret of the right nostril of the Nukva d'Pardashka, in the secret of the Unknowable Head (Reisha d'Lo Ityada). For the secret of Rabbi Akiva Eiger is a secret that is hidden from many worlds, and not every creature can comprehend his secret. For this was a soul that led all the worlds, all of them, the upper worlds and the lower worlds, from the heights of the firmament to the depths of the great abyss.
TO MERIT UPON ENTERING THE SUKKAH TO CHESED SHEB'CHESED, TO THE SURROUNDING LIGHTS AND INNER LIGHTS, TO THE VERSES OF THE PROPHET REVEALING EMUNAH AND HASHEM'S LOVE FOR US, AND THAT HE WILL NEVER FORSAKE US
A Prayer for Entering the First Night of Sukkot
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, when we enter into Chesed sheb'Chesed (Lovingkindness within Lovingkindness), surrounding lights and inner lights, the Ushpiza of Avraham Avinu, and afterward the Ushpiza of Yitzchak, and afterward the Ushpiza of Yaakov. Grant us the merit, our Father, merciful Father, to the verses: "Only Hashem had a delight in your fathers to love them, and He chose their seed after them, even you, above all peoples, as it is this day." "Love therefore the stranger; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. You shall fear Hashem your God; Him shall you serve; and to Him shall you cleave, and by His name shall you swear. He is your glory, and He is your God, that has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen. Your fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now Hashem your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude." (Yeshayahu Chapter 61) "I will greatly rejoice in Hashem, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth her growth, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her triumph go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a torch that burns. And the nations shall see your triumph, and all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Hashem shall mark out. You shall also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Hashem, and a royal diadem in the open hand of your God. You shall no more be termed Forsaken, neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My delight is in her (Cheftzi-bah), and your land Espoused (Be'ulah); for Hashem delights in you, and your land shall be espoused." "For the day of vengeance that was in My heart, and My year of redemption are come." "In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of old." (Iyov 38) "Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind? Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven, when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods cleave fast together?" "Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry unto God, and wander for lack of food?" (Iyov 39) "Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or can you mark when the hinds do calve? Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bring forth? They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, they cast out their pains. Their young ones wax strong, they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not again." "The wing of the ostrich beats joyously; but are her pinions and feathers the kindly stork's? For she leaves her eggs on the earth, and warms them in the dust." "Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, and makes his nest on high? He dwells on the rock, and makes his home upon the point of the rock, and the stronghold. From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it afar off." "Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens?" "Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish-spears? Lay your hand upon him."
TO MERIT AT THE TIME I LEAVE THE SUKKAH OF THE SKIN OF THE LEVIATHAN, WHICH IS MADE OF FIRE, TO DO TESHUVAH FOR ALL MY SINS, INCLUDING THE TIME WE WERE REINCARNATED AND GESTATING IN ADAM HARISHON
A Prayer Before Leaving and Parting from the Sukkah
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, before we leave the Sukkah, the Sukkah of the skin of the Leviathan, which is the Sukkah of the Fiftieth Gate. As it is written regarding the daughters of Tzelofchad, "And Moshe brought their cause (Mishpatan) near," with a large letter Nun, indicating that the Geulah will come through the rectification of the Nuns, in the verses in Parshat "Beha'alotcha," before and after "And it came to pass when the Ark set forward." For Rabbi Zeira would enter into the fire every thirty days, and the Sukkah itself is a Sukkah of fire, which not everyone merits to enter, only select individuals, to eat, sleep, and study in it. And now, before we leave the Sukkah of fire, as it is written, "And I will be to her for a glory and a canopy, and a fire she shall be by night." For Devorah the Prophetess, who was a woman of flames (Eshet Lapidot), merited to be surrounded day and night by a wall of fire, and therefore she was called Eshet Lapidot, because they would see sparks of fire coming out of her tent when 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, and we bow and prostrate ourselves before You, and we do complete teshuvah for all our sins and blemishes, that we blemished and sinned, from the time we were reincarnated and gestating in Adam HaRishon. As it is said, "A hundred and thirty was its weight," that the Nesi'im (princes) drew down rectifications for the first hundred and thirty years of Adam HaRishon.
AND YOU SHALL REJOICE IN YOUR FESTIVAL, AND YOU SHALL BE ONLY HAPPY
TO MERIT UPON MY ENTERING THE SUKKAH ON THE USHPIZIN OF YITZCHAK, THAT THE SEALING (CHATIMAH) WILL BE GOOD FOR US, AND THROUGH THE POWER OF THE AKEIDAH TO MERIT THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SOUL OF SAMSON, AND FOR THE REVELATION OF YITZCHAK FACE TO FACE
A Prayer Before Entering the Sukkah of the Ushpizin of Yitzchak
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit upon my entering the Sukkah on the second night, Gevurah within Chesed (surrounding lights), and through the Four Species Gevurah within Chesed (inner lights), to see Yitzchak Avinu face to face, literally face to face, just as in his lifetime. For Yitzchak agreed to be bound upon the altar, and through this he atoned for the sins of Israel until the end of all generations. For the sealing (Chatimah) is completed on Sukkot, and specifically on the Ushpizin of Yitzchak, when the sealing is completed, in the merit of the Ushpizin of Yitzchak, which in Gematria is Nachman Nachman, the letters of Manoach, who merited to bring the soul of Samson into the world, who was literally the soul of Adam HaRishon. And therefore he said, "And I shall become weak, and be like any other man." For Yitzchak is the "Wondrous Adviser" (Pele Yoetz), and this is the secret of 'He who makes a Sukkah (91) on the top (503) of a ship' (210) = 804, twice Eliyahu (52) the Prophet (68) remembered (233) for good (47) + 4 = 804, who is revealed in the secret of the Sukkah of Peace, specifically on the Ushpizin of Yitzchak. For Yitzchak is four times Eliyahu, because Yitzchak merited the revelation of Eliyahu the Prophet, remembered for good, in the World of Asiyah, in the World of Yetzirah, in the World of Beriah, and in the World of Atzilut.
TO MERIT ON THE USHPIZIN OF YAAKOV TO RECEIVE A KISS FROM HIM, WHO IS ENGRAVED ON THE THRONE OF GLORY, AND ON THIS DAY TO GREET ONE'S TEACHER, SPECIFICALLY ON THIS DAY WHEN YAAKOV WAITS FOR EVERYONE TO MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE AND APPEAR BEFORE THEIR TEACHER
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, on the Ushpizin of Yaakov Avinu, 'Chesed within Tiferet,' when the Yesod, which is the scepter of Tiferet, elevates the Sefirah of Malchus to the Malchus of Atzilut. For just as the Vilna Gaon merited on the Ushpizin of Yaakov to receive a kiss from Yaakov Avinu, so too is each and every one worthy on this holy and awesome day of Netzach within Tiferet, to receive a kiss from Yaakov Avinu, who is engraved on the Throne of Glory, "And the angels of God ascending and descending." For they see Yaakov at every moment and second, engraved on the Throne of Glory, as is brought in the book 'Panim Yafot'. For after we merited on Yom Kippur to build the Yesod of Rachel, through five prayers and five afflictions, which are the five Gevurot in the Yesod, and through the beating of the Aravah, in the secret of "Beat, beat, beat, and do not bless." For the beating of the Aravah overrides Shabbat, and therefore until the Third Temple of fire is built, the day of beating the Aravah will never fall on Shabbat. And all this is due to the immense holiness of Yaakov, which is revealed on this day, who merited to be the chosen of the Patriarchs, and he is the middle bar, which passes through from end to end, from the end of the heavens to the end of the heavens. For twice "end" (Katzeh) = 390 = "heavens" (Shamayim), as it is said, "And you shall hear the heavens." For the heavens is the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He, which Yaakov merited, who is the middle bar, passing through from end to end, Gematria Shamayim. And therefore, one who goes to greet his teacher, who represents the face of Yaakov Avinu, the teacher of all Israel, even on Yom Kippur, passes through water up to his neck and is not concerned. This shows that in order to see the face of Yaakov, specifically on the third day of Sukkot... And therefore Elkanah and Chanah would go on every festival by a different route, until they brought all of Israel up to Shiloh, specifically on the festival of Sukkot, and especially on the third day of Sukkot, which is the time of the revelation of Yaakov Avinu, who waits for all his children to make the pilgrimage, to appear before his face, specifically on the third day of Sukkot.
TO MERIT TO SEE MOSHE RABBEINU, AND REBBE NACHMAN, AND REB NOSON FACE TO FACE, AND TO BE INCLUDED IN THE EMUNAH THAT HASHEM IS GOD AND THERE IS NONE BESIDES HIM
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit on the fourth day of Sukkot, to see Moshe Rabbeinu face to face, and Rebbe Nachman and Reb Noson face to face. For Rebbe Nachman is literally the soul of Moshe, who merited to attain Yechidah of Yechidah literally, and to know that there is literally none besides Him. As Moshe Rabbeinu said, "You have been shown to know that Hashem is God," and he opened all the firmaments for them, and afterward showed them, "That Hashem, He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath; there is none else."
TO MERIT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SOUL OF OUR HOLY AND AWESOME REBBE WHO MERITED TO REACH A PERFECTION BEYOND WHICH THERE IS NO PERFECTION, AND TO SEE THE SEVEN SHEPHERDS EYE TO EYE AT EVERY MOMENT AND SECOND
Our holy Rebbe, the Holy of Holies, who merited to attain the secrets of Olam HaMalbush (The World of the Garment) and elevated his student Reb Noson to the secret of Olam HaTefillah (The World of Prayer), to Olam HaTohiru (The World of Purity), and all their words are a commentary on the holy Zohar, and in their power is to bring the entire world close and to sweeten everything at its root.
"A Ma'amar on the Greatness of our Holy Rebbe and his Foremost Student Reb Noson"
For our holy and awesome Rebbe, the Holy of Holies, who attained the secrets of Olam HaMalbush, and drew down through his awesome attainments to the holy Moharnat (Reb Noson) the secret of Olam HaTohiru. And Moharnat merited that our holy and awesome Rebbe brought him into the secret of Olam HaTefillah, the secret of the Ark (Tevah - also meaning 'word'), the House of Hashem, into which Noach entered. For the Ark is the secret of Olam HaTohiru (Emek HaMelech, Gate 6), and Noach, who was called Tamim (perfect), who merited the secret, was the secret of the Keter of Tohiru, in the secret of "Noach was a righteous man, perfect," for he was in the secret of the Keter of Tohiru, which comprises three Havayahs. And since Noach merited to enter into the Ark (Tevah), the secret of the letters of prayer (Tevah), which are the House of Hashem [-Tevah]. And therefore "Noach Noach," who merited to completely exit the World of Shattering (Olam HaShevirah), and ascended to the Keter of Tohiru. And this is what is said in the Sefer HaBahir, that in the Keter there are 620 pillars of light, and every light is one of the Names of the Holy One, blessed be He. And Rebbe Nachman and Moharnat, who all their days sacrificed their lives for the sanctification of Hashem's Name, in the secret of the Ten Martyrs, merited to exit the World of Shattering, and Moharnat ascended to the Keter of Tohiru, and our holy and awesome Rebbe to the Yesod in Olam HaMalbush. And therefore our holy and awesome Rebbe, the secret of the Holy of Holies, merited the complete rectification of the Covenant, beyond which there is no perfection. But all that generation of Noach were lost and wiped off the face of the earth, because they were in the secret of the worlds that were destroyed, in the secret of 'when the blacksmith strikes the iron, sparks fly in every direction, and those sparks flare up, shine, and are immediately extinguished' [Emek HaMelech, Gate 6, 53]. And Noach, who tried to draw down to them the 3 Havayahs, in the secret of 'for you (78) salt (Melach),' for the Tzaddik is a "covenant of salt forever," the 3 Havayahs turned into a flood (Mabul - 78) for them, "And the flood was water upon the earth." For Yechezkel the Prophet tried to draw down to the world the 3 Havayahs, and therefore he is called "Son of man, stand upon your feet," because he was in the secret of Adam HaRishon, and wanted to prevent the destruction by revealing the secret of the 3 Havayahs, but "The word of Hashem came expressly unto Yechezkel the son of Buzi," and he merited to attain only 2 Havayahs. And therefore our holy and awesome Rebbe, the Holy of Holies, who said 'From me there will be nothing new until the coming of our righteous Mashiach,' who attained the secret of the world of the Yesod of HaMalbush, and elevated Moharnat to the Keter of Olam HaTohiru. And our holy and awesome Rebbe, the Holy of Holies, and the holy Moharnat merited the Land of Israel, about which it is said, a land "not rained upon in the day of indignation," which is the vessel for all the lights of HaMalbush for Olam HaTohiru. And through this, our holy and awesome Rebbe, the Holy of Holies, merited to draw down completely new Torah teachings, in the secret of the two Tablets hidden in the Ark, in the secret of 'Amon Mechuseh' (hidden craftsman), and the holy Moharnat who is in the secret of the two Cherubim from where the voice emerges, which is the voice through which the Ten Commandments and the entire Torah were given, in the secret of 'Amon Mufla' (wondrous craftsman). And both of them are in the secret of "A watcher and a holy one came down from heaven" (Ir V'Kadish Min Shmaya Nachit), the acronym of which is Shimon. And "A watcher and a holy one came down from heaven" is in the secret of Nachman, for all of Likutey Moharan and Likutey Halachot are commentaries on the holy and awesome Zohar. For all the Tzaddikim in all generations until the Shabbat of the Giving of the Torah tried to unify the Shechinah with Zeir Anpin face to face, until Moshe came on the Shabbat of the Giving of the Torah and unified the Shechinah face to face, and through this he drew down to the people of Israel the 613 Mitzvot with all their details and exactitudes. And no prophet or seer, and even the greatest Tzaddik whoever he may be, and even Eliyahu the Prophet, cannot change even a single crown of a letter. But from the Shabbat of the Giving of the Torah, all the Tzaddikim in every generation have the power to unify the Shechinah on Shabbat face to face with Zeir Anpin [Ateret Tzvi, Bereishit 188]. And David HaMelech, peace be upon him, switched in two places Havayah for Elokim and Elokim for Havayah, in order to sweeten the Name Elokim through Havayah, and also in the Name Havayah which is entirely mercy, to the Name "Awesome in His doing toward the children of men."
AND TO MERIT TO BE A MIGHTY HERO AND STRONG LIKE SAMSON THE HERO
TO MERIT ON THE DAY OF THE HILLULA OF OUR HOLY REBBE, FROM WHOM NO SECRET WAS HIDDEN, THAT AN ILLUMINATION FROM ATIKA KADISHA BE DRAWN DOWN UPON US, ALL LUSTS WILL BE NULLIFIED, THE TZADDIK WILL SIT ON HIS THRONE AND KINGDOM, AND THE THIRD TEMPLE OF FIRE WILL DESCEND AND NEVER BE DESTROYED
The Hillula of our Holy and Awesome Rebbe, Rebbe Nachman ben Simcha ben Feiga
Our holy and awesome Rebbe, from whom no secret was hidden, who merited the secret of the Nukva d'Pardashka (the nostril of the Divine Countenance), as is brought in Torah 2, from where the secret of the resurrection of the dead comes, the life of lives. Rebbe Nachman merited this completely, for the nose of Atika is called "Chesed and Emet" (Kindness and Truth), for "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; kindness and truth go before Your face." For "His throne was fiery flames, ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him." For the crown of the Yesod is the secret of the Throne of Glory, "The place, O Hashem, which You have made for You to dwell in, the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established." For great is the Sanctuary that was placed between two Names. For all the spiritual work of the Tzaddik is in the rectification of the Throne (Kursa'ya), to draw down illumination from the nose of Atik to Zeir Anpin. And this is what Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai said to Rabbi Yehuda, 'Arise in your enduring state,' that he merited the World of Rectification (Olam HaTikkun), which endures forever and for all eternity. And just as the greatness of the King is called when He sits on His throne, the throne of judgment, strict justice, and mercy, and therefore the nose of Atik is called the Holy Throne. Only one who is the True Tzaddik attains this, and merits the aspect of all eternity. "Half of them toward the eastern sea"—Adam Kadmon, "and half of them toward the western sea"—Malchus. For in the Sukkah it is possible to attain the Fiftieth Gate that was revealed to Moshe, as it is said, "And You have made him a little lower than the angels (Elokim)," that the Fiftieth Gate was not revealed to Moshe until the time of his passing, 'And Moshe died on Mount Nevo.' The holy Shlah says (Nevo) is Nun Bo (the 50th is in him), and also the letters of "Neshamah" are "Nun Moshe," that Moshe merited the rectification of the Nuns, and through this Moshe Rabbeinu merited the Fiftieth Gate. And therefore, regarding the True Tzaddik who merited the Nukva d'Pardashka on the right side, it is said, "Hashem kills, and makes alive; He brings down to the grave, and brings up." That he merited the providence of the nose of Atika Kadisha, from where the illumination of the resurrection of the dead comes. 'And then a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold.' For the moment the True Tzaddik draws down illumination from Atika Kadisha, from that moment all lusts are nullified, including the lust for money. And then the True Tzaddik merits "That the government may be increased, and of peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it through justice and through righteousness from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Hashem of Hosts does perform this." And then the closed Mem will be broken open, and we will merit the revelation of Mashiach ben David, and the Temple of fire, which will never be destroyed again. And then we will merit the Sukkah of the Leviathan, which hints at the building of the Third Temple that will never be destroyed.
Motzaei Yom Kippur 5779 and in the coming of Mashiach = 779 (5779)
Notice to the congregation of worshipers of Shuvu Banim
I have come here with an urgent request to the students of "Shuvu Banim"
Do not engage in any violence whatsoever
When you come to pray at the Breslov Kloiz in Mea Shearim, and even if some hothead starts with you, you have no permission to say anything or answer him.
Only to fulfill the words of Rebbe Nachman in Torah 6: "He hears his humiliation, remains silent and still."
The back of AKY"K = Da"M (blood), and this brings about the purification of the blood.
Until whoever merits will enter with his physical body into the Garden of Eden like Eliyahu the Prophet, remembered for good,
Serach the daughter of Asher, Batya the daughter of Pharaoh, and Eliezer the servant of Avraham.
In the merit of our holy and awesome Rebbe
In the merit of the holy and pure Torah
Your faithful servant
Eliezer Berland
TO MERIT IN THE MERIT OF YOSEF HATZADDIK WHO COMPLETELY CONQUERED THE TZIMTZUM AND JUDGMENT, TO SWEETEN ALL THE JUDGMENTS AND CONSTRICTIONS IN THE WORLD FOR ALL WHO USE HIS MERIT
A Prayer for the Ushpizin of Yosef HaTzaddik
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, on the Ushpizin of Yosef HaTzaddik, who sanctified the entire Land of Israel, to the point that one could eat Kodashim Kalim (lesser holy offerings) wherever one could see [Shiloh], that from any place where Shiloh could be seen, it was possible to eat Kodashim Kalim there. For Yosef HaTzaddik, who never opened his eyes [to look at forbidden things], merited the secret of the Crown (Atarah), 'that in the future the righteous will sit with their crowns on their heads, and enjoy the radiance of the Shechinah.' For Yosef, who was of beautiful form and beautiful appearance, merited both aspects, of Leah and of Rachel, in the secret of "And for the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren," that Yaakov and Moshe surrounded him, and he merited both aspects, which is read on this Shabbat in the Haftarah, of "Half of them toward the eastern sea"—Adam Kadmon, "and half of them toward the western sea"—Malchus. For Yosef HaTzaddik merited to completely rectify the World of Tohu, the acronym of which is "And the son you shall cast" (V'et HaBen Tashlichun). For Yosef HaTzaddik, who all his days studied Torah only for its own sake, merited to reach the aspect of "the crown of the head" (Kodkod), the secret of the Luz bone, where the resurrection of the dead takes place. And therefore, all the 12 years he was in prison, it was only in holiness without a break of a second or a moment. And through the dancing and songs that he sang and danced for 12 years, he drew down lovingkindness for all generations, that anyone who uses the merit of Yosef HaTzaddik can sweeten every judgment and accusation until the end of all generations, and draw down true lovingkindness for every situation. For only Yosef is called "Yosef HaTzaddik," for only he merited the guarding of the Covenant in ultimate perfection, beyond which there is no perfection. And only he merited the aspect of "My beloved is white and ruddy, pre-eminent above ten thousand," who can turn all the redness in the world into pure white like snow, and sweeten every judgment in the world, so that there will be no accusation, Heaven forbid, even if one did what one did. For Yosef HaTzaddik merited the secret of Tzimtzum (constriction), and merited to conquer the greatest Tzimtzum in the world, of 12 years in prison, without the light of the sun, not even a single spark, and he can sweeten every Tzimtzum in the world, until the end of all generations, for all who use his merit.
TO MERIT ON HOSHANA RABBAH THE REVELATION OF DAVID HAMELECH, THAT ALL THE LEADERSHIP OF THE WORLDS IS DONE THROUGH HIM, AND ALL OUR SPIRITUAL WORK IN THESE DAYS IS TO CROWN HASHEM OVER ALL CREATION
Hoshana Rabbah, the Ushpizin of David HaMelech
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit on "Hoshana Rabbah" for the revelation of David HaMelech, peace be upon him, the anointed of the God of Yaakov. And may it be fulfilled in us on this "Hoshana Rabbah," in the merit of David HaMelech, peace be upon him, "And Hashem shall be King over all the earth; in that day shall Hashem be One, and His name One." For now on "Hoshana Rabbah," the name "Yihyeh" (will be) is already turning into the name "V'Hayah (And He shall be) Hashem as King over all the earth." For all our spiritual work in these 21 days, from Rosh Hashanah until now, is to crown Hashem over all the worlds, so that all the inhabitants of the earth will know and recognize that the kingship belongs only to Hashem, and there is a judgment and there is a Judge, and Hashem does not overlook even the tip of a letter Yod. And all the worlds on "Hoshana Rabbah" ascend to Atika Kadisha, to Adam Kadmon, to the most hidden of all hidden things, the concealed of all. For all the leadership in all the worlds until the end of all generations is done through David HaMelech, peace be upon him. And this is what the Gemara says in Sukkah 52b: 'In the future, David will sit at the head of all the righteous, with Adam, Shet, and Metushelach on the right, and Moshe, Avraham, and Yaakov on the left.'
THE ENTIRE SPIRITUAL WORK OF A PERSON IS TO BE INCLUDED UNDER THE WINGS OF THE CHERUBIM THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR THROUGH THE POWER AND MERIT OF THE SUKKAH, AND THE SECRET OF THE SUKKAH IN TISHREI AND EATING MATZAH IN NISSAN, TO MERIT THE RECTIFICATION OF THE TWO NUNS AND THE REVELATION OF MASHIACH BEN YOSEF AND DAVID
A Ma'amar for Sukkot
On Sukkot we see Hashem face to face, because every law of the Sukkah is learned from the Cherubim, who spread their wings over the Ark Cover (Kapporet). And the wings were 10 handbreadths above the Ark Cover, and from there we learn the minimum height of the Sukkah, from the height of the wings of the Cherubim. And a person comes into the world to be included in the wings of the Cherubim, and this is what Boaz said to Ruth, "And when you are thirsty, go unto the vessels (Ne'arim)," they are the wings of the Cherubim, who spread their wings over the Ark Cover, and over each and every one. For each and every one is obligated to be under the wings of the Cherubim all year long. And through the Mitzvah of Sukkah, which corresponds to the wings of the Cherubim, one merits to be under the wings of the Cherubim all year long, from which we learn every law of the Sukkah. For in truth, the Clouds of Glory began on the 15th of Nissan, and one should have eaten Matzah in the Sukkah, because both the Matzah and the Clouds of Glory were exactly on the 15th of Nissan. And therefore the Sifrei asks, and the Mishneh LeMelech brings this in the Laws of Chametz and Matzah Chapter 6 ................ that Matzah should be made together with the intention ? as a remembrance of the Clouds of Glory, or that we should eat Matzah in the Sukkah in Tishrei, since everything happened exactly together? Rather, the Sifrei says, it is written "On this festival of Matzot," "In the seventh month on this festival of Sukkot," that you shall eat Matzah on Pesach in Nissan, and you shall make Sukkot as a remembrance of the Clouds of Glory in Tishrei on the festival of Sukkot. And therefore the Sukkah, which corresponds to the Sukkah of the Leviathan, the secret of the Fiftieth, as it is written, "And Moshe brought their cause (Mishpatan) near," with a large letter Nun, corresponding to the 50 Gates of Binah. For when we rectify the two Nuns of "And it came to pass when the Ark set forward," immediately at that moment the Sukkah of the Leviathan will be revealed, and we will merit the revelation of Mashiach ben Yosef and Mashiach ben David, who correspond to the two Nuns.
TO MERIT IN THE MERIT OF TRITROI AND ELIYAHU HANAVI THAT DAVID WILL BE OUR USHPIZIN ON HOSHANA RABBAH, AND TO BE LIKE DAVID HAMELECH WHO WROUGHT THE GREAT SALVATION IN ISRAEL
"For Hoshana Rabbah"
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, Hashem is One (1), in the merit of (435) Tritroi (444) the man of Mahalul, who would jump via the shortening of the way (Kefitzat HaDerech) every Erev Shabbat, and spend Shabbat in Jerusalem (Yerushalmi Ma'aser Sheni 29b). And in the merit of Eliyahu (52) the Prophet (68) = 1000 remembered for good. Grant us the merit of the Ushpizin of David on Hoshana Rabbah, and through this, Merciful (3) Father, "Know (79) wisdom (73) for your soul (480) and it (22) is a crown (620) for your head (551)" = 1828. And through this, Father (3), on Hoshana Rabbah the verse will be fulfilled in us: "He is a tower (87) of salvation (792) for His king (96); and shows (387) mercy (72) to His anointed (324) = 1828, to David and to his seed, for evermore." And we will merit on Hoshana Rabbah to be like David HaMelech, about whom it is said, "Did (36) he (12) not work (375) this (413) great (53) salvation (396) in Israel (543)" = 1828.
TO MERIT BEFORE THE ALIYAH TO THE TORAH TO INCLUDE RACHEL IN LEAH AND LEAH IN RACHEL, TO CONNECT WITH THE TZADDIK WHO DOES KINDNESS AND CHARITY WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE, AND TO SUBDUE ALL THE ARODIM IN THE WORLD
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, before I go up to the Torah with awe and love, and love and awe, grant us the merit to ascend immediately to Adam Kadmon, and I will merit then to include Rachel in Leah and Leah in Rachel. And through this, "The mighty men of Moab, trembling (Ra'ad) grips them" = 274, through the Tzaddik who is in the aspect of Mordechai and Rav (208) Chesed (72) = 274, who increases charity and kindness with each and every one. And through this, Rachel is included in Leah and Leah in Rachel. And through this, "You shall put a space between drove and drove," like Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar when he came from Migdal Eder (the connection of Rachel Leah = 274). And therefore, an animal found outside Jerusalem without an owner, at the distance of Jerusalem from Migdal Eder, is holy, because it is drawn from the aspect of Eder, the connection of Rachel Leah = 274. And then the King of Arad = 274, the King of Amalek, is subdued, and then all the Arodim in the world are subdued. For Esau is a barrel of snakes that were created from the bones of Bilaam, and they hid it in the Temple Mount in the place of the Altar. For in the Mount (207) of the House (217) = 424, Gematria Mashiach (358) ben (52) David (14) = 424, who will be revealed speedily in our days in the blink of an eye, in the merit of the Aliyah to the Torah on Simchat Torah.
TO MERIT DURING THE READING OF KOHELET TO EXPERIENCE THE GIVING OF THE TORAH, TO HEAR THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ANEW, TO ALL THE MYRIADS OF ANGELS WHO DESCEND AT THAT TIME AND SURROUND ME, TO BE INCLUDED IN SHLOMO HAMELECH, AND TO KNOW THAT ALL IS VANITY OF VANITIES, SAID KOHELET
In Kohelet there are 222 verses, in the secret of "The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands." For through the reading of Kohelet, 222 myriads of camps of angels descend, and they surround the one who reads Kohelet. For at the Giving of the Torah, each and every one saw "The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands," which are 20,000,000 angels {twenty million angels} X 22 thousand, which is 484,000,000,000 billion camps of angels. So too ............................. ......................... Kohelet, we merit the Giving of the Torah anew, and to hear all the Ten Commandments anew. This is the secret of 'that bathhouse over which two disputed,' for the bathhouse (Masuta) is in the aspect of ........................... Kadisha, which is the secret of reading Kohelet, when we ascend to Atika Kadisha up to Adam Kadmon. "I Kohelet have been king over Israel in Jerusalem." For Jerusalem is the World of Yetzirah, and it has ten levels of holiness, and the tenth holiness, which is the Holy of Holies, is Malchus of Atzilut. And therefore 'that bathhouse over which two disputed,' for the bathhouse, which is Malchus of Atzilut, is where they aspire to reach. And therefore the question is whether he dedicated it so that not ............... .................... if we say that he admits to him. For through the reading of Kohelet, "Vanity of vanities, said Kohelet; vanity of vanities, all is vanity," corresponding to the seven vanities. This is what those two Torah scholars saw in Tikunei Zohar 113, who arrived on Erev Shabbat via the shortening of the way to the Pardes, and from there to the palace, where in every single hall it was written "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." And therefore Shlomo HaMelech merited seven names: "Shlomo, Yedidya, Agur, Ben Yakeh, Lemuel, Itiel, Kohelet" (Tazria 57b {Bo 38b: last line}). And the main one is Kohelet, in which Shlomo HaMelech merited to be included in all the people of Israel, which is the secret of "Moshe commanded us a law, an inheritance of the congregation (Kehillat) of Yaakov" (Devarim Chapter 33:4).
TO MERIT TO SEE ALL THE MIRACLES AND WONDERS THAT HASHEM PERFORMS WITH US AT EVERY MOMENT, AND THE OPENING OF ALL THE GATES OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR THROUGH THE WEAPONS OF WAR, WHICH ARE THE FOUR SPECIES
Before the Reading of Shabbat Chol HaMoed Sukkot and Pesach
Master of the Universe, the main verse in the Parshah is "Behold, I make a covenant; before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of Hashem that I am about to do with you, that it is tremendous." For Shabbat Chol HaMoed Sukkot, after we have taken the Lulav for several days, and then the Hadasim and Aravot, which are the weapons of the Jewish people, as Yaakov said, "Which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow." And since our weapons, the swords, the arrows, and the bows, are the Four Species, about which it is said, "With wisdom He opens gates," that Hashem opens with wisdom through the Four Species all the gates of Chochmah (Wisdom) and Binah (Understanding), the 50 Gates of Binah and the 32 Paths of Chochmah, that everything is opened on Sukkot for the entire year, and for all the years, about which it is said, "Before all your people I will do marvels in all the earth."
TO MERIT IN THE MERIT OF BEATING THE ARAVAH TO OVERCOME ALL THE 11 CHIEFTAINS OF ESAU, THAT EVERYTHING WILL TURN TO GOOD, AND FOR THE REVELATION OF MORDECHAI AND ESTHER
Before Beating the Aravah
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit, in the merit of beating the Aravah, grant us the merit, Hashem is One (1), in the merit of the Aravah, for the revelation of Mashiach (358) ben (52) David (24) = 435, in the blink (305) of an eye (130) = 435, in the merit of the Tzaddik (209) foundation (80) of the world (146) = 435, Rebbe (268) Nachman (148) ben (52) Simcha (353) Feiga (94) = 967. And the angels Nuriel (297) Gavriel (246) and Michael (107) and Refael (317) = 967, will accompany us day (96) and night (81) = 177. And we will merit to be like Serach (508) the daughter (402) of Asher (501) = 1411, who entered with her physical body into the Garden (53) of Eden (124) = 177. And through the beating of the Aravah we will overcome the 11 chieftains of Esau, and we will merit the verse "And it was turned about, that the Jews (501) had rule (355) they (50) over them that hated them (414)" = 1411, in the merit of the Cherub (248) from Mashiach (388) the master (102) of wings (205) = 941. And through this we will merit the revelation of Mordechai (274) and Esther (667) = 941, and Matityahu (667) and his sons (74) = 941.
TO MERIT DURING THE PRAYER FOR RAIN THAT RAINS OF BLESSING SHOULD FALL AS A PLEASING FRAGRANCE TO HASHEM ALREADY IN THE FIRST RAINFALL, AND THE BODY WILL BE NULLIFIED TO THE SOUL FOR THE SAKE OF THE LOVE OF HASHEM AND THERE IS NONE BESIDES HIM, WITHOUT ANY DISTURBANCE WHATSOEVER
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, from whom no purpose can be withheld, at this moment as we stand now on Simchat Torah, before the "Prayer for Rain" (Geshem). Geshem in Gematria is 7 X 7 X 7 = 343, the secret of 'the pure Menorah which is seven and seven.' And everyone merits the seven branches of the Menorah 7 X 7 X 7 = Geshem = 343, the secret of Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be upon him, who is the True Tzaddik, the root of the rain (Geshem), about whom it is said, "For that he also is flesh (Bassar)." For only through 'flesh of my flesh and bone of my bones' does one merit the "Prayer for Rain," and to bring down 'dew and rain for a blessing,' in its proper time and season. And that the rain should start falling straight away in the first rainfall (Revi'ah Rishonah), on the 7th of Marcheshvan, the time of the first rainfall. And that the dew and rain should fall in their proper time and season, and they should always be rains of blessing, not in a flood of anger, and not in wrath, but pleasant rains as a pleasing fragrance to Hashem. That the rain (Geshem) should be the nullification of all physicality (Gashmiyut), and no trace of physicality should be remembered. And in the merit of "dew and rain for a blessing," we will strip away all physicality and materialism, and the body, which is merely a box to guard the soul, will no longer serve as anything more than a silent box without senses and feelings, without reflexes and sensations. And all the sensations and feelings will be solely senses and feelings for the sake of the love of Hashem, besides whom there is none, and there is none besides Him. As it is said, "You have been shown to know that Hashem is God," "In heaven above and upon the earth beneath there is none else." And through this we will merit "dew and rain for a blessing" throughout the entire year, and in all the years until the end of all generations.
TO MERIT ON EVERY SIMCHAT TORAH TO DANCE WITHOUT STOPPING FOR A MOMENT OR A SECOND, AND THROUGH THIS TO TRAMPLE THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE AND TO DESTROY ALL THE ARODIM AND SERAPHIM THAT BURN THE BODY OF A PERSON
"Dancing of Simchat Torah"
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit on the night of Simchat Torah, and on the day of Simchat Torah, and on Motzaei Simchat Torah, for dancing of 36 hours without stopping for a moment or a second. And through this we will merit the rectification of the heels, as it is said, "And it shall come to pass, because (Ekev - heel) you hearken... that Hashem your God shall keep with you the covenant and the mercy." For only through singing and dancing does one merit the guarding of the Covenant, and that Hashem will keep with you the covenant and the mercy. For only through dancing are the heels of Leah included in the crown of Rachel, Gematria Arad, Eder, Arod. For through the jumping of the heels, one merits to trample the head of the snake, which is the head of the Arod, the head of all the Arodim, which were created from the bones of Bilaam and Balak, who were and still are the roots of all the Klipos (husks), and all the snakes and all the Arodim, which in Gematria is Rachel Leah. For only through dancing do the heels of Leah connect with the crown of Rachel, and then all the Arodim are destroyed, and all the snakes and all the Seraphim, which burn the body and soul of a person. Like Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar who arrived from Migdal Eder {Gematria Rachel and Leah}, who merited the aspect of Rachel being included in Leah, and the crown of Rachel turning into the shoe of Leah. About this it is said, "Upon Edom I will cast my shoe," and it does not say my sword, but my spear.
TO MERIT TO BE AWAKE ALL NIGHT AND TO MAKE HAKAFOT IN ALL OF JERUSALEM, TO MERIT NEW NOTES OF SALVATIONS AND GOOD DECREES, AND SOULS THAT HAVE NOT SINNED ANY SIN OR BLEMISH
"A Prayer for the Night of Motzaei Simchat Torah"
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit on the night of Motzaei Simchat Torah, to be awake all night, and to make Hakafot in all of Jerusalem, as it is said: "Walk about Zion, and go round about her," "Mark well her ramparts, traverse her palaces." And through the circuits that we will circle all of Jerusalem in the Hakafot of Motzaei Simchat Torah, which is the time of handing over the notes (pitkim) to the runners, and through the dancing until the morning light, and until Vatikin, when all the bad notes are torn up, and new notes of good decrees, salvations, and consolations are written. And through the dancing, completely new souls are drawn down that never existed before, that never sinned any sin, and never caused any blemish, and these souls will be the guides for the souls of this generation.
TO MERIT NOW AT THE COMPLETION OF THE HOLY TORAH TO BE EXPERT IN "RUNNING AND RETURNING" (RATZO V'SHOV), TO RESTART THE TORAH ANEW, AND FOR THE REVELATION OF THE TWO MASHIACHS THROUGH OUR PRAYING ON ROSH HASHANAH WITH THE TZADDIK
"The Completion of the Torah and its Restarting Anew"
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, now on Simchat Torah when we have merited the completion of the holy Torah, "And in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which Moshe wrought in the sight of all Israel," which hints at the breaking of the Tablets and their being given anew. And the Haftarah we read: "There shall not any man be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moshe, so I will be with you; I will not fail you, nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage; for you shall cause this people to inherit the land which I swore unto their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moshe My servant commanded you; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go." For the completion of the Torah and its restarting anew hints at "running and returning" (Ratzo V'Shov), which are the angels Metatron and Nuriel, Gematria Ratzo V'Shov, the secret of "The chariots of God are myriads, even thousands upon thousands," 22,000,000 million angels that accompany each and every one, at the completion of the Torah and at its restarting anew. And through this the complete Geulah will come, and the two Mashiachs will be revealed: Menachem ben Amiel (Mashiach ben David), Nechemya ben Chushiel (Mashiach ben Yosef), Gematria Matityahu, Gematria Rosh Hashanah. For through praying on Rosh Hashanah with the Tzaddik, one merits the revelation of the two Mashiachs, Mashiach ben David and Mashiach ben Yosef.
TO MERIT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HAKAFOT TO ENTER THE WINTER SEMESTER FULL OF DILIGENCE IN TORAH, EXPERTISE IN THE SHAS, KETZOT HACHOSHEN, THE RISHONIM, HALACHIC RULINGS, THE BOOKS OF REBBE NACHMAN AND HIS STUDENTS, THE TEN SEFIROT, THE WRITINGS OF THE ARI, AND THE AWESOME STUDENTS OF THE MAGGID
After Simchat Torah we enter six months of Torah and Prayer
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit after the Hakafot of Simchat Torah, just as in the time of Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be upon him, who after the dancing of the Second Hakafot, went out to war with Og King of Bashan, after he had already fought with Sichon in Elul, and subdued him finally for all generations. So too may we merit, after the dancing of Simchat Torah, to enter with all our 248 limbs and 365 sinews, until our last drop of blood, with all our Nefesh, Ruach, Neshamah, Chayah, Yechidah, to enter into the Gemara, Shas, Talmud. In the merit of Sarah (505) Rivka (307) Rachel (238) Leah (36) = 1086, and in the merit of Yael the wife (701) of Chever (210) the Kenite (175) = 1086. That I will study in all the six months after Simchat Torah, with all my strength and mind, to study 20 hours every single day, without pause and without stopping for a second. And we will study Ketzot HaChoshen, Netivot HaMishpat, Tokpo Kohen, and all the other books, and the books of the Rambam, the Shulchan Aruch and the Tur, and all their commentaries: Beit Yosef, Bayit Chadash, Darchei Moshe, Mahari Korkus, Maggid Mishneh, Kesef Mishneh, Lechem Mishneh. And that we will have a "Hand to Merit" (Yad Lizkot), as is explained in Ketzot HaChoshen section 60. And we will merit to go through in these six months after the Hakafot of Simchat Torah, all of the Zohar and Tikunei Zohar, and their commentaries, Etz Chaim, Pri Etz Chaim, and Anaf Etz Chaim, and Talmud Eser Sefirot. And all the books of our holy and awesome Rebbe: Likutey Moharan, Likutey Halachot, Sipurei Ma'asiyot, Likutey Eitzot, Meshivat Nefesh, and Hishtapchut HaNefesh, and the other books of the students of our holy and awesome Rebbe, and Kedushat Levi, and Noam Elimelech, and the other awesome students of the Maggid.
TO MERIT IN THE MERIT OF THE SECRET OF PAZAR KESHEV TO BE INCLUDED IN TZERUYAH WHO NULLIFIED AND ERADICATED ALL HER DESIRES AND LUSTS, AND MERITED HOLY CHILDREN WHO WOULD FLY IN THE AIR AND SAVED DAVID
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, in the merit of "Pazar Keshev," which is the secret of 'at the time of gathering, scatter (Pazar),' and in the merit of "Keshev" (listen), as Shmuel said to Shaul, "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken (L'Hakshiv) than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim" (Shmuel I 15). And therefore, Hashem is One, in the merit of "Pazar Keshev," grant me the merit to reach the level of Asael, who was light like one of the deer in the field, and literally flew in the air. For he was the son of Tzeruyah, who in her life never had an attraction to any matter of lust, but was always bound (Tzeruyah) and tied in the nullification of all lusts, to the ultimate, ultimate perfection, beyond which there is no perfection. And therefore she merited that all three of her sons, of Tzeruyah, who bound, tied, and eradicated all her lusts, and therefore she merited that all three of her sons would fly in the air. Avishai the son of Tzeruyah flew on the wings of eagles via the shortening of the way from Jerusalem to the land of the Philistines, and met Orpah in the middle of the way, who threw at him a spindle of a weaver's beam, in order to split his head. But he, with his infinite alacrity, caught the spindle, and threw it at her head, and crushed and pierced her temple and forehead. For she was the root of the S"M, and even though she was the sister of Ruth, all the evil in the world was clothed in her, until the Moabites expelled her from the land of Moab, and she moved to live in the fields of the Philistines. And she brought forth Goliath, and his brother Yishbi in Nob (Yishbi ben Orpah), who grabbed David and crushed him under the beam of the olive press, and then threw him in the air to a height of a hundred meters, two hundred cubits, in the secret of "And He will lead us upright (Komemiyut) to our land." And within ten seconds Avishai the son of Tzeruyah arrived, via the shortening of the way, riding on David's mule, and the mule led him from Jerusalem to David's location, as Hashem said, "Saying: By the hand of My servant David I will save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines" (Shmuel II 3). And similarly Yoav flew in the air, who was the son of Tzeruyah, who bound all her lusts, as it is said, and he flew in the air, and opened the gates of Rabbath Ammon. And then David entered and avenged the vengeance of the messengers, as it was said by Natan the Prophet, "Now therefore thus shall you say unto My servant David: Thus says Hashem of Hosts: I took you from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over My people, over Israel. And I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you." And then Avishai came, who was equal to 70,000, and saved David through the shortening of the way, and freed him from Yishbi. And while they were galloping on the horses, they met Orpah, and then Avishai said to Yishbi, "Say hello to your mother," and then his soul departed out of shock and fear. About this it is said, "And from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Hashem tells you that Hashem will make you a house" (Shmuel II 7:11). And then Asael came, who was light on his feet like one of the deer in the field, and he would fly over the tops of the ears of grain, and there was none like him for alacrity and speed since the creation of the world. And it was all in the merit of Tzeruyah, who nullified all her lusts and desires to infinity and beyond measure.
TO MERIT IN THE MERIT OF PUTTING ON TEFILLIN TO ELEVATE ALL THE SOULS, EVEN THE MOST LOST ONES, TO AWAKEN MERCY IN THE MERIT OF THE TEN MARTYRS, THAT ALL THE BAD NOTES WILL BE TORN UP, TO MERIT A GOOD NOTE (PITKA TAVA), AND FOR THE ILLUMINATION OF THE TEFILLIN FOR THE NEW YEAR
"After eight days that we did not put on Tefillin"
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, after eight days that we did not put on Tefillin, we ascend on the morning after Simchat Torah, when we ascend to Adam Kadmon, through the putting on of the Tefillin of the hand and of the head. The hand corresponds to Rachel, and the straps of the head, and the knot of the Tefillin of the head correspond to Leah. And through putting on the Tefillin of the hand and the Tefillin of the head, the heels of Leah enter into the crown of Rachel, and then there is an elevation for all the souls, even the most lost ones. For immediately after the Second Hakafot, the children of Israel went out to war with Og King of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtarot in Edrei. For all the power of Og King of Bashan was from the soul of Shimon ben Netanel, which was gestating in his heel. Right after the Second Hakafot, Moshe Rabbeinu promised to extract the soul of Shimon ben Netanel, the acronym of which is Bashan. Just as Yael crushed his head and pierced the head of Sisera, who was gestating in the head of Sisera in his temple, where the soul of Rabbi Akiva was gestating, whose flesh they combed with iron combs. And through this, Rabbi Akiva atoned for all the generations, all of them, until the end of all generations. For all the generations are sustained by the terrible sufferings of the Ten Martyrs, whose sufferings cover the sins of all the generations, for anyone who does teshuvah in truth. For all the 22 days, which were just now from Rosh Hashanah until Motzaei Simchat Torah, when the Second Hakafot begin, are to sweeten all the judgments that awaken towards the new year, and they tear up all the bad notes, and from this we merit the awakening of the Tefillin, and the illumination of the Tefillin for the new year.
TO MERIT THE CREATION OF THE WORLD ANEW, TO BE INCLUDED IN THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE WHICH IS THE ROOT FOR ALL THE WORLDS, TO SUBDUE ALL THE ARODIM IN THE WORLD, AND TO CONNECT THE HEELS OF LEAH WITH THE CROWN OF RACHEL THROUGH EMUNAH, JOY, SINGING, AND DANCING
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit for the creation of the world anew, the secret of Bereishit (In the beginning), the secret of Rosh Bayit (Head of the house), the secret of 'Et Rashb"i' (with Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai), the root for all the worlds was created. The secret of the cup (Gavi'a) 13 X 72 = 936, the secret of Mordechai and Esther = 936+1, the secret of Matityahu and his sons 936+1. For through Bereishit, teshuvah out of love, one merits the secret of the song of the Father, that we will merit to sing and play music day and night = 177, and then we enter with the body into the Garden of Eden = 177, like Serach the daughter of Asher = 1411, who entered with her physical body into the Garden of Eden. And all her thoughts were to eradicate Esau, who is the root of evil, like Orpah who was the root of evil for all generations. And through the word "Bereishit" we subdue all of them, and merit the lights of the Ein Sof (Infinite), and to subdue the King of Arad 274, who is the root for all the Arodim in the world, which are created from the separation between the heel of Leah and the crown of Rachel. And this is "How beautiful are your steps in sandals," when the feet of Leah connect with the crown of Rachel, and the crown of Rachel turns into the shoes of Leah, and then Leah has shoes, in the secret of "And the needy for a pair of shoes." And then the Shechinah has shoes to descend below ten handbreadths, which we will merit on Chanukah, when the Shechinah receives shoes to descend below ten handbreadths. And therefore "Yosef was brought down to Egypt" to a place of Klipos, because he had already merited shoes that protected him, that he merited to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, and then "Upon Edom I will cast my shoe." And this is the secret of "A damsel, two damsels to every man," that the abundance of mercy was revealed in the merit of Yael, who turned into the High Priest, who is Eli, and from them came Abaye, whose halachic ruling is followed in Ya'e"l Kaga"m, the secret of the filling of the Name Eky"k 143. For Yosef merited to rectify all the constrictions (Tzimtzumim) in the world, through Emunah, joy, and dancing for 12 years, which did not cease from him even for one second, and he only saw Hashem eye to eye. For Yael "pierced and struck through his head, and she smote and crashed through his temples," because she connected the heel of Leah with the crown of Rachel. And this is the secret of "Go your way forth by the footsteps of the flock," they are Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov, who connected the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel. This is the secret of "The white streaks which were in the rods," and then Yaakov merited to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel. And then his blessing was fulfilled, "That bites the horse's heels, so that his rider falls backward," that he connected Rachel and Leah, and then Samson was born, who brought down the whole house with millions of people, in the merit of the eye that was gouged out. For there are 'Ekev' (heel) words in the Ten Commandments, in order to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, and then the crown of Rachel turns into the shoe of Leah, and then "Upon Edom I will cast my shoe." And it does not say my sword or my spear, only "my shoe," because the moment the heels of Leah turn into the crown of Rachel, then the end will come for Esau, as it is said, "Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighted; the mighty men of Moab, trembling takes hold upon them" = 274, Rachel Leah = 274. That the moment the heels of Leah connect with the crown of Rachel, then "All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away," and the end will come for all the enemies of Israel, who are Ammon, Moab, and Edom. Just as in the days of Yehoshafat, when they all gathered at Ein Gedi, Edom, Moab, and Ammon, and as soon as the people of Israel began with joyous song, straight away "Give thanks to Hashem, for His mercy endures forever," immediately every man's sword was against his fellow, and by the time they reached the village of Yeruel, they found them all dead corpses. And Datan and Aviram, who did not want to believe in the greatness of the miracle of the Manna, and went out on the Sabbath day to gather the Manna, and blemished the secret of "Bereishit"—Yareh Shabbat (fear Shabbat), Yareh Boshet (fear shame)—and then all the Arodim that harm people went out into the world. 'For woe to the person who is met by an Arod, and woe to the Arod that is met by Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa,' who had already connected the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel. And through this he said to his daughter, 'He who told the oil to burn will tell the vinegar to burn.' And it is impossible to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, except through singing and dancing.
TO MERIT TO COMPLETE IN ONE YEAR ALL THE BOOKS OF THE RAMBAM, TO MERIT ON EVERY HOSHANA RABBAH GOOD NOTES, AND TO BE WRITTEN FOR A GOOD AND LONG LIFE
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, upon my reaching the age of one year, grant me the merit to be included in Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon. And I will merit to complete in one year the entire Yad HaChazakah (Rambam) with all its fourteen volumes: Sefer HaMitzvot, Sefer HaMadda, Sefer Ahavah, Sefer Zemanim, Sefer Nashim, Sefer Kedushah, Sefer Hafla'ah, Sefer Zeraim, Sefer Taharah, Sefer Avodah, Sefer Korbanot, Sefer Kinyan, Sefer Nezikin, Sefer Mishpatim, and Sefer Shoftim. And I will know all the books of Responsa by heart. And I will merit on every Hoshana Rabbah new good notes (pitkim), and on every Simchat Torah write me for a long life and for peace until 210 years, as Yaakov Avinu, peace be upon him, was supposed to live. And I will merit all the days of my life to participate in the Second Hakafot until the morning and until Vatikin. And through this I will merit to sweeten all the judgments in the world of the people of Israel and of each and every one, and I will draw down only goodness, blessings, and salvations for all the people of Israel. And I will never get tired, and I will never need to sleep, and I will merit to fulfill the oath of David HaMelech, peace be upon him: "Surely I will not come into the tent of my house, nor go up into the bed that is spread for me; I will not give sleep to my eyes, nor slumber to my eyelids; until I find out a place for Hashem, a dwelling-place for the Mighty One of Yaakov."
UPON REACHING THE AGE OF 30, TO PERSIST IN THE STUDY OF TORAH, TO SUBDUE THE 11 CHIEFTAINS OF ESAU, AND THAT EVERYTHING WILL TURN TO GOOD
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, upon my reaching this year, the age of 30, grant me the merit, Hashem is One, to be included (115) in Adam (47) Kadmon (200) of Adam (49) Kadmon (200) = 611. And through this I will merit to study Torah = 611, day (96) and night (81) = 177, and to enter with my body into the Garden (53) of Eden (124) = 177. Like Serach (508) the daughter (402) of Asher (501) = 1411, who entered with her body into the Garden of Eden = 177, and subdued the 11 chieftains of Esau. And the verse was fulfilled in her: "And it was turned about, that the Jews (501) had rule (355) they (50) over them that hated them (414)" = 1411.
UPON REACHING THE AGE OF 3, TO MERIT TO READ THE PARSHAH OF THAT WEEK, TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE TORAH EVERY YEAR, AND TO SUBDUE THE 11 CHIEFTAINS OF ESAU
Grant me the merit, upon reaching the age of 3, to be included in Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon, and I will read every single Shabbat the Parshah of that Shabbat, until I know the entire Torah = 611 by heart, word for word, letter by letter. And every year I will complete the entire Torah, and I will be included in the soul of Serach (508) the daughter (402) of Asher (501) = 1411, who entered with her body into the Garden (53) of Eden (124) = 177. And I will study Torah (611) day (96) and night (81) = 177, and I will subdue the 11 chieftains of Esau. And I will merit that the verse will be fulfilled in me: "Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighted; the mighty men of Moab, trembling takes hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away." "And it was turned about, that the Jews (501) had rule (355) they (50) over them that hated them (414)" = 1411.
TO MERIT THAT HASHEM WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL IN A MOMENT IN THE MERIT OF YITZCHAK AND YECHIEL, AND TO GIVE BIRTH TO MASHIACH BEN DAVID
Master of the Universe, "Save now Your people Israel," in the blink of an eye, in a moment (273), in the merit of Yitzchak (208) and Yechiel (65) = 273, that they will bring the complete Geulah in the blink (305) of an eye (130) = 435. And I will merit to give birth, Hashem is One (1), to Mashiach (358) ben (52) David (24) = 435, the Tzaddik (209) foundation (80) of the world (146) = 435.
TO EXIT THE KLIPAH OF THE SNAKE
TO MERIT THROUGH THE POWER OF PARSHAT BEREISHIT TO COMPLETELY EXIT ALL LUSTS, TO BIND AND OVERCOME OUR DESIRES AND LUSTS, TO MERIT SUPREME HOLINESS AND HOLY CHILDREN, AND TO LIVE FOREVER
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, grant me the merit in the merit of Parshat "Bereishit" to exit the Klipah (husk) of the snake in the blink (305) of an eye (130) = 435. In the merit of "For that he also (B'Shagam) is flesh," in the merit of Shagam, the secret of the Menorah which is seven, "seven and seven," which is Moshe who illuminated with the light of the seven lamps, which are 343 lights. And in this merit we will merit to exit all the Klipos in the world, and especially from the lust of immorality, and we will bring souls into the world without any lust. And then these souls will be able to fly in the air, like Yoav the son of Tzeruyah who flew in the air, and opened the gates of Rabbah. And David, the holy and awesome Tzaddik, entered Rabbah, and after Yishbi grabbed him, and crushed him under the beam of the olive press, and there was a depression in the beam, and David entered into the depression, and afterward what happened happened. And Yishbi swung him in the air to a height of 100 meters, and it takes ten seconds until David was supposed to reach the ground, into the mouth of the sword. And behold, Avishai was washing his head on Erev Shabbat, and blood was found in the basin, and behold, a hawk was preying on a dove. Immediately he ran to David's palace, passed through all the rooms in five seconds, he had up to five seconds left to save David. And then he consulted with the Sanhedrin, and grabbed David's mule, and immediately flew in the air to the land of the Philistines, and saw how David was falling onto the sword. Immediately he said the Ineffable Name again, and David fell down, but not on the sword. And then David jumped with maximum speed onto his mule, and started galloping towards the Land of Israel, but Yishbi was faster, and in almost a brief moment, he caught Avishai. And then Avishai shouted to Yishbi, "Say hello to your mother," and then his soul departed, and David was saved. And everything was in the merit that Tzeruyah bound all her lusts, and overcame her desires, and extinguished all her lusts. And therefore she also merited a son called "Asael" (God made him), whom Hashem made, and he was literally the handiwork of Hashem, blessed be He, like Adam HaRishon, who never stepped on the ground, but always flew in the air, and all his actions were in a run and a gallop. Until he merited, in the merit of his mother, to literally enter the Garden of Eden, and there he lives forever. And therefore we too shall merit, like Serach the daughter of Asher, and Batya the daughter of Pharaoh, and Eliezer the servant of Avraham, to live forever, in the merit of Parshat Bereishit, which is the merit of life forever, like in the city of Luz. For Parshat Bereishit is the Luz bone of the entire Torah.
TO MERIT IN THE MERIT OF PARSHAT BEREISHIT A COVENANT OF FIRE, TO BE INCLUDED IN ADAM HARISHON WHO REACHED THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF THE ULTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF NOT KNOWING, AND TO BE SANCTIFIED WITH SUPREME HOLINESS
Bereishit - A Covenant of Fire
Master of the Universe, grant me the merit in the merit of Parshat "Bereishit" for a covenant of fire, a flaming fire for Hashem, blessed be He, through the guarding of the Covenant. For only through the guarding of the Covenant is it possible to reach all the perfections in the world, which only Adam HaRishon reached. For every quarter of an hour, he received a holy drop from the Pishon, the river that goes out of Eden, until over the course of 930 years, he merited to receive all the drops in which were all the wisdoms until the end of all generations, and until the resurrection of the dead. And everything was in the merit of guarding the Covenant, like Yosef HaTzaddik, who in the merit of guarding the holy Covenant, all the wisdoms in the world were revealed to him, and all the seventy languages in perfection, beyond which there is no perfection. Until he reached the peak level of the knowledge that we do not know, which is the absolute peak of knowledge, that we literally know nothing. For His Essence, blessed be He, can never be revealed, and the main comprehension of His Essence, blessed be He, is the ultimate knowledge that we do not know at all. For His Essence, blessed be He, is the center point, which is literally His Essence, blessed be He, which is exactly an equal distance from every side of the circle, and therefore it is the ultimate knowledge that we do not know at all literally. And through our reaching in Parshat Bereishit the ultimate knowledge that we do not know at all, we will then attain all the comprehensions until the end of all generations and until the resurrection of the dead.
TO MERIT TO BE THE CROWN ON THE HEAD OF THE TZADDIKIM, TO BE IN LOWLINESS, AND TO MERIT JOY AND AN ABUNDANCE OF JOYS
Master of the Universe, who can do all things, from whom no purpose can be withheld, grant me the merit to be a crown on the head of the Tzaddikim. And in the merit of Yoav the son of Tzeruyah, Hashem is One, Asael the son of Tzeruyah, grant me the merit to be a righteous (204) man (311) and of great (208) deeds (410) = 1132. "For we (115) are Your people (130) and the flock (147) of Your pasture (740)" = 1132. And may the verse be fulfilled in me: "And Hashem (26) brought us forth (179) out of Egypt (420), out of the house (452) of bondage (126)" = 1132, Hashem is One (1). And I will merit to know (504) the greatness (443) of the Creator (214) = 1132. And may it be fulfilled in me, Hashem is One, the verse "And the gold of that land is good; there is bdellium and the onyx stone," as it is said, and onyx (351) stones (63), and stones (69) to be set (117) = 1132, for the ephod, and for the breastplate. And through this, may His Name (346) be blessed (638) in the world (148) = 1132. "But he that is of a lowly (416) spirit (214) shall attain (470) honor (32)" = 1132. And through this I will merit joy (378) and an abundance of joys (754) = 1132.
