A Prayer to Merit Preparing Vessels for the Light of the Ein Sof (Infinite

"The Haftarah of Parshas Vayeira"

“And he said: Go, borrow for yourself vessels from outside, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not take too few.” Master of the universe, Almighty One, grant me the merit to prepare infinitely many vessels, to contain within them the Light of the Ein Sof (Infinite Light). “Empty vessels; do not take too few”—so that within them there can enter the Light of the Seven Days, the light of the Menorah, as it is said: “And Hashem said to Avraham: 243 ‘Go’ 50 ‘for yourself’.” 50 = 343 = שׁמ"ג; 7 × 7 × 7 = 343—343 lights, the light of the Menorah: “And I saw: a Menorah, entirely of gold, with its bowl upon its top, and its seven lamps upon it—seven and seven channels for the lamps” {Zechariah 4:2}. Vessels that can contain within them the Light of the Ein Sof. And in our days, after the destruction of the Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple), the preparation of the empty vessels for the Light of the Ein Sof is done only and exclusively through studying the letters of the Gemara.

For the success of the important young man Yaakov Yisraeli son of Miriam, who has entered into the sweetness of the yoke of Torah and mitzvos (commandments), and may he grow in Torah and mitzvos, fear of Heaven, and attachment to the true Tzaddik (righteous one).

With Hashem’s help (bs"d) 3004

To merit preparing vessels for the Light of the Ein Sof and to merit the Light of the Seven Days—and this is accomplished through studying the letters of the Gemara.
