Prayer for the Molad of Kislev 5787 by Rabbi Eliezer Berland

By the holy and righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland, may he live a long and good life

The molad of Kislev: the night of Tuesday, 30 Cheshvan 5787 (Monday evening, November 9, 2026), at 10:06 p.m. and 3 chalakim, Israel time.

The customary molad announcement (Jerusalem time) is 10:27 p.m. and 3 chalakim (parts of a minute). Rosh Chodesh Kislev: Tuesday and Wednesday, November 10–11, 2026.

As the molad of Kislev 5787 approaches, we present the prayer of the holy and righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland, may he live a long and good life, that the miracles and wonders done for our forefathers be renewed for us, and that the Holy Temple be renewed with the pure Menorah. Below are a scan of the original Hebrew sheet and an English translation of the prayer.

PRAYER FOR THE MOLAD OF KISLEV

Master of the Universe, Almighty, from Whom no purpose can be withheld: at the molad of Kislev, which falls on the night of Tuesday at 10:06 and 3 chalakim, renew for us all the miracles and wonders that You performed for our forefathers, and for us, in those days at this time.

And renew for us the Holy Temple this very month, with the pure Menorah, as it is written in Zechariah 4, the Haftarah of Shabbat Chanukah: “For behold the stone that I have set before Joshua; upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave its engraving, says the Lord of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. Thus says the Lord of Hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then you shall also judge My house and keep My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these who stand here. And he said to me: What do you see? And I said: I have looked, and behold, a menorah all of gold, with a bowl on its top [a spring on its top], and its seven lamps upon it, seven and seven pipes,”

in all, 243 lamps — the secret of “And the Lord said to Abram: Go forth from your land,” the secret of the pure Menorah, 243 cups and lamps.
