A Prayer to Merit Learning and Distributing the Prayers of Morinu HaRav shlit"a

An awesome prayer for the healing of Morinu HaRav shlit"a. It reveals a tiny fraction of the secret of the Rav's prayers as they will be understood in the World to Come, the obligation to distribute them, and how this draws down long life for him and for us.

Master of the Universe, have mercy on my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a, that he may live and not die. Master of the Universe, have mercy on my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a (scream until the soul is exhausted). He is entirely bound and tied in chains, wounded in body and soul, for You bring upon him all the suffering in the world, all the harsh judgments. His strength to bear it has stumbled. Have mercy on him, for he is ready to accept upon himself all the suffering in the world. He is willing to travel every day through all the supernal chambers and pass through all seven levels of Gehennom (purgatory) every single day. He does this with infinite devotion, with literal mesirus nefesh (self-sacrifice), through afflictions of the body and soul, through endless prayers, supplications, requests, and self-mortifications. Master of the Universe, oy, have mercy on him, have mercy! (Say this until you feel you are falling). Have mercy on the entire holy congregation. Have mercy on the thirty-six hidden tzaddikim of the generation who take upon themselves all the suffering of this world. Oy, oy, oy! (Say this until you faint). Master of the Universe, have mercy on him and on us. Nullify from upon us and from upon all the people of Israel all the terrible judgments, so that we may live and not die. Have mercy on the people of Israel! Have mercy on the people of Israel! "Behold, we are in Your hands like clay in the hands of the potter." Have mercy on my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a. Have mercy on us and on all Your people Israel. Give us hope, so that we do not waste our days and our years in vanity and emptiness. Have mercy on the Congregation of Israel, Your holy nation that is drawn after You, a bride called with sweetness, in Your love and in Your compassion. Nullify all the harsh judgments from upon my Rebbe and teacher, Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a, from upon us, and from upon all the people of Israel, both physically and spiritually. Save us from the fire of anger that burns within us day and night, through which we ignite the fire of Gehennom and awaken harsh judgments upon ourselves and upon Your people, the House of Israel. Give us hope so that we will not die. May we fulfill this year, "Avenge the spilled blood of Your servants." May we merit to distribute the prayers of the Rav, to read them day and night without a second's interruption, and to study all the prayers in great depth alongside their sources in the Gemara, Midrash, Zohar, and Etz Chaim. For the main thing is to distribute the prayers until every single Jew has these prayers. May we distribute them with mesirus nefesh, and study them with mesirus nefesh. Through this, we will be incorporated into Adam Kadmon d'Adam Kadmon (the highest primordial spiritual level), and through this, the Geulah (Redemption) will come immediately. We will be saved from the war of Gog and Magog. For Hashem expects every single Jew to have these prayers, which were written with supreme mesirus nefesh. We have no understanding or comprehension of them at all, for only in the Future to Come will a tiny fraction—a trillionth of a part—of their greatness and secrets be revealed to us, along with the power to immediately enact everything written in them. For they are all drawn down from Adam Kadmon d'Adam Kadmon, from the secret of the pure Menorah. Regarding this, the Kedushas Levi says in Parshas Terumah that the light of the Menorah is drawn from the Ohr HaGanuz (the Hidden Light of Creation), which cannot be clothed or contained in this world at all. In the merit of this, the Rav will continue to live like Yocheved {Ramban on Bereishis 46:15} for 250 years. For Yocheved lived 210 years [in Egypt] plus the 40 years in the desert until they entered the Land, and she was buried in the Galilee near Tiberias. For these prayers are like a candle (ner) for the entire world, to search through the King's hidden treasures, and to reveal all the secrets of the Torah. Through this, the Rav will live Ner (250) years [the numerical value of ner is 250], because every person has the potential to live Ner years. For the Geulah will come, and then Mashiach ben David will be revealed in perfection, and the Beis HaMikdash of fire will descend. In the merit of this, may we merit the coming of our righteous Mashiach and the complete Geulah speedily, Amen and Amen.

For the healing and success of Morinu HaRav Rabbi Eliezer ben Etya shlit"a, may Hashem protect him and preserve him, and his family.
