Prayer for the Molad (New Moon) of Tammuz

Wednesday night, at 10:37 PM, and 4 chalakim (parts of a minute).

Master of the World, All-Powerful, from Whom no purpose can be withheld. Merit me, during the Molad (new moon) of Tammuz—which will occur on Wednesday night, the eve of Thursday, at 10:37 and 4 chalakim (parts) at night, approximately two hours before Chatzos (midnight)—to receive the first Luchos (Tablets of the Covenant) anew.

Just as Moshe Rabbeinu (Moses our teacher) brought the Torah on the 17th of Tammuz, so too may we now receive the Torah anew in every month of Tammuz, every single year afresh.

And may we merit to know the entire Shas (Talmud). The 14 volumes of the Rambam (Maimonides), the four parts of the Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Law), the 4 Turim, the Beis Yosef, the Bach, the Sma, the Shach, the Magen Avraham, the Taz, the Chelkas Mechokek, Rabbeinu Shmuel; the Maggid Mishneh, the Lechem Mishneh, the Mishneh LaMelech, the Kessef Mishneh, the Hagahos Maimoniyos, Rabbeinu Manoach, Mahari Korkos, the Hagahos HaRamach; Mesillas Yesharim, Sha’arei Teshuvah, Orchot Tzaddikim, Kav HaYashar, Shevet Mussar, Pele Yoetz, Menorat HaMaor, Noda BiYehudah, Sfas Emes, Zera Kodesh, Rabbeinu Akiva Eiger, the Rashba, the Ramban, the Ritva, the Yad Ramah, the Beis Meir on Even HaEzer; Likutey Moharan, Likutey Halachos, Sippurei Ma’asiyos (Rabbi Nachman’s Stories), Likutey Etzos (Collected Advice),

And everything word for word, letter by letter, by heart.

And may I emerge from all my lusts in the month of Tammuz, and from pride, and from the klipah (evil shell) of Haman-Amalek which is the klipah of pride—for this is the secret of the name of the month of Tammuz: "Yet all this is worth nothing to me" (Esther 5:13).
