Prayer for the New Moon of Cheshvan 5779 from Our Teacher the Righteous Rabbi
Eliezer Berland shlit"a - When the High Priest Will Be Revealed with the 12 Stones of the Breastplate

Master of the World, the new moon of Mar-Cheshvan, 'Sameach-Ron' (Joyful-Song), 'Choshen-Mor' (Myrrh-Breastplate), when the High Priest will be revealed with the 12 stones of the Choshen; in the month of Mar-Cheshvan, the Third Temple will be built. For this is the month of honey, as it is written, 'And honey, this day is Hashem's' [Ki Tavo], for this is the month of honey. At that time, the tikkun of the 'Nukva d'Pardashka' (the aperture of the opening) is revealed, which manifests at the time of the molad (new moon), the eve of Wednesday at 9:40, 11 parts, to subdue the 11 chieftains of Esau, who are subdued through the revelation of the Nukva d'Pardashka. For the foundation of the Nukva reaches the line, and the entire gathering of kindnesses of the foundation of the masculine and all the kindnesses in the world are revealed in the molad of the month of Mar-Cheshvan. Therefore, in the molad of Mar-Cheshvan, all the severities of the new year arrive, because at the moment the molad of Mar-Cheshvan enters, all the judgments of the new year are revealed through the light emanating from the 'Forehead of Will,' which is the Name Mah, for it requires 2,000 years to sweeten all the judgments in the Nukva.
For the covenant is between Hashem and the people of Israel, and this is the secret of, 'Thus would Job do all the days,' for he was occupied with sweetening the judgments of the first 2,000 years of the creation of the world. For 'Job' (Iyov) is 'Yuval,' the son of Adah, who was initially holy of holies and afterwards went astray, and played music for 900 years solely for idol worship. Therefore, he came in the reincarnation of Job to rectify all the 900 years that he played solely for idol worship, for the letters Y-V-B are the same letters, and the L is interchanged with the A according to the Atbash cipher.
And then, at the molad, the illumination of the 'Reisha d'Lo Ityada' (the Unknowable Head), the Nukva d'Pardashka, is revealed, specifically the illumination of the right aperture. For the entire month of Mar-Cheshvan is conducted through the illumination of the 'Attika Kaddisha' (the Holy Ancient One), for throughout the month of Cheshvan, the illumination of the Attika Kaddisha shines, as 'the heart does not reveal to the mouth,' 'For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed has come,' which is said regarding the month of Mar-Cheshvan, when the Third Temple will be built—a Temple of fire. And whoever possesses the 'puch' (kohl) ointment and places it upon his eyes can see even now the Holy Temple built and standing in its place, and not one stone is missing, and not one stone was burned, and not one stone was scorched, but everything stands in its place. For the illumination of the Holy Temple is drawn from the 'Forehead of Will' which is revealed in the month of Mar-Cheshvan, and therefore the foundation, which is the Holy Temple, is called a 'living limb,' in the secret of 'Bereshit Bara'—'Bereshit' is Keter, 'Bara' is Chochmah.
For then, in the month of Mar-Cheshvan, Sameach-Ron, Choshen-Mor, the illumination of the Attika Kaddisha shines in perfection without any blemish, and the light that shines in the month of Sameach-Ron has no dimness and no weakness, but shines in all its splendor and all its power until Mashiach ben David comes.
