A Prayer to Merit Receiving Strength from Our Holy and Awesome Rebbe and All the Tzaddikim of the Generations While Occupied with Public Needs

<p><strong>"A Prayer for Those Occupied with Public Needs"</strong></p>

<p>Master of the World, All-Powerful, from whom no scheme is withheld, merit me, while I am occupied with the needs of the community, through the merit and power of our holy and awesome Rebbe, Rebbe Nachman the son of Simcha the son of Feiga, that I may receive strength from all the Tzaddikim of the generations in every generation. [Let me be] like Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa, for whom the goats killed the wolves, and like that shepherd who told the other shepherd that he practices Hisbodedus so that his sheep would overcome the wolves, the bears, and the lions—and indeed, they brought bears upon their horns.</p>

<p>For <em>Tzana d'peirei</em> (the basket of fruit), which is the secret of the basket of figs, corresponds in gematria to <em>Gavia</em> (cup), and corresponds in gematria to Mordechai and Esther, and corresponds in gematria to Matityahu and his sons. They merited to succeed in their mission for the success of the entire Nation of Israel, and they performed their mission with perfection. They merited to complete the flaw of the moon, rectifying the sin of the moon's accusation, restoring it to its full glory and its full beauty.</p>

<p>Please Hashem, merit us to succeed in our mission. May we merit that our holy and awesome Rebbe will indwell within us (via <em>Ibbur</em>) at every moment and every second. May every bone of my bones, and every sinew of my sinews—all of them—serve this Divine mission. With every single breath, and with every single movement of all my breaths and movements, may they be solely Holy of Holies for Your sake.</p>

<p>May the verse be fulfilled: "A woman of valor is the crown of her husband" (Proverbs 12:4). May I merit that the verse be fulfilled in me: "The righteous sit with their crowns upon their heads" (Berakhot 17a). And the verse: "Go forth and see, O daughters of Zion, King Solomon with the crown his mother crowned him with on the day of his wedding and the day of his heart's rejoicing" (Song of Songs 3:11). From all my deeds, my thoughts, and my words, may I merit to weave a crown for the King of Kings of Kings. May we merit to grow great in Torah, to bring the entire Nation of Israel under the wings of the Shechinah (Divine Presence), and to transform the entire Nation of Israel, from small to great, into great ones, in the aspect of the entire Torah.</p>
