Prayer for the Molad of the Month of Shevat from the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer
Berland shlit"a

The Molad of Shevat will be on Tuesday night at 2:04 and 2 chalakim, at night.
The Molad of Shevat, which is the Molad for the revelation of Mashiach ben David, the month of melody and song, in which one hears all the plants and grasses of the field singing and playing music, in which "Moses began to explain" the entire Torah "clearly" (be'er heitev) — He (5) Hei (15) Heite (24) Heitev (26) = 70. In it, all the explanations of the Torah are revealed from beginning to end, the month in which the interpretations of the entire Torah are revealed, upon every single crown (tag) and every single point (nekudah). The month in which the secret of the point of Bereshit (Beginning) is revealed, the central point, the secret of the point of the true tzaddik, which is the secret of "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David" and his kingdom, the secret of "And you, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto you shall it come, even the first dominion, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem."
For Rosh Chodesh Shevat is when "Moses began to explain this Torah," which is the month in which the root of the rivers of balsam is revealed, where all the explanations of the Torah reside. And then there will be the feast of the Leviathan, whose light travels from one end of the world to the other, and Hashem spreads its skin over the walls of Jerusalem, and its light shines and illuminates all the worlds. And therefore, in the month of Shevat, we always read the portion of the Ten Commandments, and the main thing is "I am Hashem your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage," and the Song of Deborah, "I, even I, will sing unto Hashem," who merited twice as much as Moses because she did not relinquish her prophecy, while Barak lost out. For then, in the month of Shevat, all are included in the world of the garment and purity, and the twenty-two letters of the Torah are revealed anew, which Moses began to explain in the fortieth year, forty years after they left the land of Egypt.
