A Prayer to Merit Subduing All of Edom and Drawing Down Boundless Abundance of Parnassah
Master of the Universe, the Omnipotent One, grant me the merit, as a telephone fundraiser, that the blessing should be fulfilled in me: "And you, O Migdal Eder (Tower of the Flock), the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto you it shall come; and the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem" (Micah 4:8). For every telephone fundraiser, especially in Shuvu Banim, is an aspect of Mashiach ben David, who is called "Migdal Eder," representing the unification of Rachel and Leah. And then, "the mighty men of Moab, trembling grips them; {Rachel + Leah = 274, the numerical value of 'trembling' (רעד)}, all the inhabitants of Canaan melt away" (Exodus 15:15), "then the chiefs of Edom are dismayed." "Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I will cast my shoe" (Psalms 60:10). For every telephone fundraiser merits to cast their shoe upon Edom.
And why specifically a shoe and not a sword? As it is stated, "The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake... I will draw my sword'" (Exodus 15:9). Rather, a shoe (na'al) signifies that the heels (the lowest spiritual levels) of Leah enter into the Kesser (Crown, the highest spiritual level) of Rachel, which then transforms into the shoe of Leah, through the prayers of the tzaddik. And now, I pray before You, that we may merit to cast my shoe—which is the Kesser of Rachel that transforms into the shoe of Leah—which is what will cut off and destroy Edom, in the merit of all the phone calls that I make. And may I merit to bring in millions every single day, as it is stated, "And Abraham was very wealthy in livestock, in silver, and in gold" (Genesis 13:2), in the merit of Sarah our Mother, as it is stated, "And he dealt well with Abraham for her sake" (Genesis 12:16). ©
