PRAYER FOR THE MOLAD OF THE MONTH OF ADAR I

Which will occur on Tuesday, the 30th of Shevat, 2:46 PM

Rosh Chodesh Adar I, the 30th of Shevat, Tuesday—then all the gates of Heaven are opened, of the Fiftieth Gate. And on the next day, Wednesday, the 1st of Adar I, it is an acronym: Reisha D’lo Ityada, Rosh D’varcha Emet—these two times.

And the molad is on Tuesday at 2:46 in the afternoon, 16 chalakim. Sixteen alludes to the Tablets of the Covenant, whose length is 6, whose width is 6, and both together—their thickness—is 6. And they correspond to Menasheh and Ephraim: Ephraim is the aspect of Mashiach ben David, and Menasheh is the aspect of Mashiach ben Yosef.

And both correspond to the constellation of Pisces, which alludes to the two Leviathans—the male Leviathan and the female Leviathan—through whose merit come all the shefa (Divine influences), which allude to Yocheved bat Levi. The Zohar says, Parshat Shelach Lecha, page 175: “Leviathan—this is Yocheved bat Levi,” the daughter of the Leviathan, for the Fiftieth Gate was revealed to her, and thus she merited to draw down the neshamah (soul) of Moshe Rabbeinu, peace be upon him. For on the 7th he was born, and on the 7th he departed to his world, and he is included in the Fiftieth Gate.

As the Shlah HaKadosh says: “And He buried him in the valley”—in Atbash, Ramot—that he was buried in Ramot HaPisgah, whose gematria is Nachman.

“And no man knew his burial place until this day,” for he was buried on Mount Nevo—N-vo—which is included in the Fiftieth Gate. And at the time of his passing, all the secrets of the Torah were revealed to him, and also the secrets of the Red Heifer.

And therefore, Moshe’s heifer sufficed for more than 900 years, and its ashes are mixed into every ash and ash of each and every heifer, until the Resurrection of the Dead.

In the merit of our having merited, in the month of Adar, to be transformed into “dust and ashes,” may we merit the complete redemption speedily in our days, amen.
