Prayer for Parashat Kedoshim

Through parents conducting themselves with holiness and modesty, their children will merit fear of Heaven. The Torah juxtaposed verses 2 and 3: "You shall be holy, for I, Hashem your God, am holy," and "Every man shall revere his mother and his father, and you shall observe My Sabbaths." This teaches that if a person wants their children to be holy and pure, and to observe Shabbat, Torah, and mitzvot, they must conduct themselves with holiness, purity, and modesty in their home, and they will merit this.

Whoever merits to distribute my teachings and prayers is guaranteed great wealth, because the Rav is solely about giving. As Rebbe Nachman said, "From the place that I take, there I give," and the very essence of my taking is giving.

The Rav noted regarding prayer _________ that "the absence of light from the mitzvot" means that when holiness is absent from a person, then all of their mitzvot and Torah learning do not ascend to the realm of holiness.

Observing Shabbat according to Halacha means guarding Shabbat from mundane speech, and to sing, dance, and bring joy to Shabbat with all kinds of songs and piyutim (liturgical poems). One must sing all the zemirot (Shabbat songs) about Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and all the tzaddikim.

The main thing is to publish the writings of the tzaddik during my lifetime, and not to wait until "my lips will murmur in the grave" (a Talmudic reference to a deceased scholar whose teachings are repeated in this world)..........

There is a harsh decree upon me in Heaven because people are not learning the daily page (Amud HaYomi) that I established for the Jewish people. All of my requests are that the entire Jewish people should learn the daily page of Ketzot HaChoshen, and my very soul depends on this matter.

Parashat Emor

Every day, a person faces the test of "the Blasphemer" (HaMekalel), and every day they have the aspect of "the Wood-Gatherer" (HaMekoshesh). The aspect of the Blasphemer is that Hashem tests a person's emunah (faith) in Hashem and in the tzaddikim. The test is not to be strict or resentful, but to remember the secret that the descent is for the purpose of an ascent—in the aspect of "the upper ones below and the lower ones above." Elisha ben Abuyah fell because he did not embrace this aforementioned secret. If the Wood-Gatherer had walked with this aspect of the descent being for the purpose of an ascent, he would have reached the spiritual level of Moshe Rabbeinu. The aspect of the Wood-Gatherer represents the daily work to "gather" (lekoshesh) yet another mitzvah and yet another good point.

I am one of the unique individuals of the generations who writes Torah and prayer together, in the aspect of "ratzo v'shov" (running and returning - the spiritual oscillation of the soul).

Every prayer of mine that goes out into the world nullifies an atomic bomb.

The moment my prayers reach every single Jew in the world, at that very moment the Geulah (Redemption) will come.

The Rav noted regarding prayer 5026: Even if a person is chased away so that they cannot reach the prayer, or if it is some Litvish yeshiva student who traveled to Uman, or for any other reason—everything is an aspect of a descent for the purpose of an ascent. They are only testing the person so that they will ascend to a higher and higher level.

The Rav noted regarding prayer number 5028 about Noa, who flies in the wind and moves (na'ah) from place to place: This is the aspect of the tzaddikim who do not rest for a moment and ascend the spiritual levels infinitely. Thus, their entire lives they ascend higher and higher. If a person falls, they can fall completely. Therefore, it is better to place the ladder at an angle so that there will be a grip. Then, if they fall, Heaven forbid, they will only fall two steps and will immediately have a grip to climb back up, step by step, rather than trying to jump two or more steps at once. As Rebbe Nachman said, one should take one character trait all the way to the end until it is rectified completely.
