Prayer to Release the Shechinah from Exile on Pesach - The Righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Do not arrive at the Seder night without the special prayer from our teacher, the esteemed righteous Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Master of the Universe, Almighty, release the Shechinah from exile, and just as on the Seder night of the Exodus from Egypt we were heralded about the redemption and the verse was fulfilled "To Him who struck Egypt through their firstborn" "from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beast" from the firstborn of the maidservant to the firstborn of the captive, so too in this year, the year 5779, the year of the coming of Mashiach, release the Shechinah from exile, and may we merit to see eye to eye the return of Hashem to Zion, and no longer will there be widows and orphans among the people of Israel.

And may we merit, like Queen Esther who hanged Haman on the day after Pesach, in the merit of her saying "If I perish, I perish," so may we all merit {the daughters of Israel}, as we are all rooted in the neshamah of Queen Esther, so may we all merit to release the Shechinah from exile even now. And all the Hamans and all the enemies of Israel wherever they are, annul their counsel and spoil their thoughts, and may their hands not accomplish anything.

And in the merit of all the sorrow we have endured until now, may we specifically merit to release the Shechinah from exile, and just as You performed miracles and wonders for our ancestors in Egypt in the merit of the righteous women who did not despair of the redemption, so too now, instill in our hearts courage and strength, hope and emunah that we may merit in our generation to see, we and our children and our children's children, the redemption in our generation, eye to eye, face to face.

And send us on the Seder night Elijah the Prophet in revelation, and may we merit to see him eye to eye, and may we merit in our lifetime to see the fulfillment of the verse "And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children to their fathers" and all our children and our children's children, all of them until the end of all generations, will walk in the way of Hashem, in the path handed down to us from our ancestors from generation to generation, and we will all ascend the path that leads to Bethel "in the way of the King we shall walk" and not deviate God forbid to the right or to the left, and we will all do only the will of Hashem.

And annul for us all the fallen desires and all the bad loves, and may we not desire anything in the world except the true and sincere will of Hashem without any ulterior motive God forbid, and all our desires which are in gematria Moshe +1, may they all be only to bring closer the redemption and to see the revelation of the two Mashiachs, Mashiach ben Yosef who will fight the wars of Hashem, and Mashiach ben David who will reveal the pure and clear emunah to the whole world.

Please Hashem, may the Pesach holiday, which is the festival of freedom that is coming upon us for good and upon all Your people, the house of Israel, be the true festival of redemption, and may we merit this year to eat from the Pesachim and the sacrifices in Jerusalem, the holy city, which will be built from stones of onyx and sapphire, jasper, tarshish, and amethyst, and from all twelve stones of the breastplate, and may they shine more than the sun. And may the skin of Leviathan be spread over the walls of Jerusalem and its light will shine from one end of the world to the other.

And may we all merit that even this Pesach our entire bodies will be transformed into a holy and pure body like Adam and Eve before the sin, whose light shone from one end of the world to the other, and the heel of their foot shone more than the orb of the sun, all the more so their entire body, their head, and their forehead which shone more than the light of the seven days.

And now on this Pesach reveal to us anew the hidden light that You stored in the cleft of the rock, which You revealed only to Moshe and Elijah, for from the light of the cleft of the rock Moshe's face shone, and from the light in the cleft of the rock Elijah the Prophet's body was transformed into a torch of fire until he merited a chariot of fire and horses of fire, so too transform all the fire in our hearts into a holy fire of love for Hashem, as it is said "A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar, it shall not go out" gematria "The heavens opened and I saw visions of God".

And just as an Egyptian maidservant merited at the Exodus from Egypt to see more than Ezekiel the Prophet and saw all the workings of the chariot and more than this, so too open our eyes that we may merit on this Seder night in the year of the coming of Mashiach =779 to see eye to eye the entire chariot, and in this merit may we merit on the festival of Shavuot, which will be after fifty days, to truly hear the Ten Commandments and to see the holy chariot eye to eye and may we merit the complete redemption and the building of the Holy Temple in the blink of an eye, Amen, forever and ever.
