Prayer for the Molad (New Moon) of the Month of Adar I 5776

BS"D, 5776

Master of the World, All-Powerful One, in the Molad of Adar I, which is the secret of the Reisha d'lo Ityada (the Unknowable Head), which will occur on Monday morning at 8:26 and 14 chalakim (parts), the secret of the name Havayah. For in the two Adars, the initial letters of Reisha d'lo Ityada connect the two holy names, Havayah and Adonoy. For Adar I is the secret of the name Adonoy, and Adar II is the secret of the name Havayah. Et Ratzon (Time of Favor) has the same gematria as Vashti HaMalka (Queen Vashti), for then there was a time of favor that the Temple should be built immediately. However, the Kingdom of Holiness, in the secret of Reisha d'lo Ityada, was transformed into the kingdom of the Sitra Achra (Other Side) of Vashti the Queen, and then "The lion roars over his habitation." For Adar I is the secret of Chochmah (Wisdom) of Reisha d'lo Ityada, and Adar II is the secret of Keter (Crown) of Reisha d'lo Ityada. For in the future to come, Yom Kippurim will shine with the light of Purim [Tikkunei Zohar 57b], which is the secret of the Tree of Fifty, the Fifty-th Gate that is revealed on Purim. This is the secret of "To the increase of the realm and for peace without end" (Isaiah 9:6), for then on Purim, the closed [final] letter 'Mem' is split open, and then we merit peace without end, in the secret of Ekyek multiplied by Ekyek, which equals the gematria of Emet (Truth) (21 x 21 = 441), which is revealed specifically on Purim. For Adar is the acronym for "Rosh Devarcha Emet" (The beginning of Your word is truth), which is the secret of "You give truth to Yaakov," and "A throne is established in kindness, and he sits upon it in truth." We merit this specifically on Purim in Adar II, for then the Binah of Atik is revealed, which enclothes itself in Arich, and from there to Abba and Imma, and from there to Zeir [Anpin] and Malchut. For Mordechai has the gematria of Rachel and Leah, who subdue the kelipah (husk) of Haman-Amalek, which is comprised of Balak and Bilaam—who also have the gematria of Rachel and Leah. And then "He leaps over the mountains and skips over the hills," the secret of Keter of Reisha d'lo Ityada, the acronym of Adar. The illumination of the Mochin (brains/intellect) is revealed at the Molad of Adar I, and they strengthen on the night of Wednesday at 9:10 and 15 chalakim of Adar II, and are revealed in perfection on Purim during the reading of the Megillah. Then NeHY (Netzach, Hod, Yesod) are included in ChaGaT (Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet), and ChaGaT in ChaBaD (Chochmah, Binah, Daat), and ChaBaD in the Keter of Atik, the NeHY of Reisha d'lo Ityada, until the illumination of Mordechai and Esther is revealed, in the secret of "a great crown of gold," the secret of Keter of Reisha d'lo Ityada, in the secret of "Rosh Devarcha Emet"—the acronym of Adar. For this was the first thought of Hashem, may He be blessed, in the secret of the beginning of the creation of the worlds, in the secret of "The end of the act is in the first thought." This is the bringing forth from potential to actual of the beginning of thought, in the secret of "So it arose in the first thought," the secret of Rabbi Akiva and his colleagues, all the Ten Martyrs, and all the holy ones of all generations, who are in the secret of the "First Thought," the Keter of Reisha d'lo Ityada. Therefore, Mordechai, who is the gematria of Rachel Leah [274], subdues the King of Arad who is comprised of Haman-Amalek. He merited to receive illumination from the Gate of Fifty, the secret of Keter of Reisha d'lo Ityada. From the abundance of the light of Keter of Reisha d'lo Ityada which begins at the Molad of Adar I and is revealed in all its splendor and beauty on the day of Purim, the 370 myriad lights that were taken from Chavah on Rosh Hashanah of the creation of the world return. This is the secret of "Who performed miracles (She'asah Nissim) for our fathers" that we say on Chanukah and Purim, for then He returned to us the 370 (Shin-Ayin) myriad lights included in the letters of She'asah (that He made) which were taken from Chavah. And the Forehead of Will (Metzach HaRatzon), the Time of Favor, was made. Vashti the Queen was hanged after the 187 days of the feast, and then the light of Netzach Netzachim (Eternity of Eternities) was revealed, for the first Adar is in the secret of Netzach, and the second is in the secret of Netzachim. Through this, the light of the Ein Sof (Infinite) which shines in the Keter of Reisha d'lo Ityada, whose illumination is revealed at the Molad of Adar I, becomes intensified during the reading of the Megillah at its proper time, when we mention Mordechai the Jew who would not kneel and would not bow, he did not stand up and did not move. Then "Haman was filled with rage," in the secret of the beginning of the thought of creation, in the secret of "If your enemy is hungry, feed him bread... for you are heaping coals on his head." For on Purim, the illumination of Mordechai, which is Yesod Abba, pierces through all the Yesodot (foundations), and is revealed through the Yesod of Rachel, which is Esther. This is the secret of unrolling the Megillah like a letter, for then the illumination of Mordechai pierces the Yesod of Rachel, which is Esther. Then Esther, with the power of this illumination, says: "If I perish, I perish." This is in the secret of the splitting of the Red Sea, for Al Sfat HaYam (on the shore of the sea) [935] has the gematria of Mordechai Esther [935]. This is the secret of what is hinted at in the Gavia (cup) [which equals] 13 x 72 [936], that through the coffin of Yosef the sea would be split, and through Mordechai and Esther, who descend from Binyamin, the Holy Temple will be built.
