Songs and Prayers for the Yahrzeit of R' Natan of Breslov by the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

With Hashem's help

The Tenth of Tevet

Master of the World, Omnipotent, on the Tenth of Tevet when the Holy Temple of fire was supposed to descend, the yahrzeit of Ezra the Scribe and Mohara"n"t, when each and every one can merit to be like Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, Moshe, David, Aharon, Yosef, cast down all the haters and enemies who pursue the people of Israel, and grant me to be "exactly like me" and to perform miracles and wonders like our holy and awesome Rebbe, and may the verses be fulfilled in me: "For Hashem has comforted Zion, He has comforted all her ruins, and He has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Hashem; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody."

You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to favor her, for the appointed time has come, and in the merit of Machlah, Noa, Choglah, Milcah, and Tirzah, the daughters of Zelophehad, who was the great fear of the people of Israel, who sacrificed himself for Shabbat and so that the Holy Temple would not be destroyed, and wanted to be included in the Tree of Life, for on the Tenth of Tevet it is possible to revive all the dead, and then Esther enters the house of Achashverosh, and then all the judgments in the world are sweetened, and if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, like Hillel who was covered with three cubits of snow, the measure of a mikveh, for Hillel himself was a mikveh of purity, which is the height of three cubits of snow that purifies all creatures who wish to truly return in teshuvah, for the true tzaddikim, our Rebbe and Mohara"n"t, are the two great luminaries in the aspect of the moon and the sun, and they can sweeten every judgment in the world, as it is said, "Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house," for a woman in the aspect of the moon in the secret of the two great luminaries that our God created through Mordechai the Jew, for on the Tenth of Tevet we receive anew the two tablets which correspond to Rachel and Leah, and we hear anew the Ten Commandments, for on the Tenth of Tevet Yiftach tried to sacrifice his daughter, and a heavenly voice came out, "Do not lay your hand upon the lad" [end of Abudraham, the article of the seasons], and then we merit the twelve stones of the breastplate of the High Priest who returns to his service, which are odem, pitdah, bareket, nofech, sapphire, and diamond, leshem, shevo, and achlamah, tarshish, shoham, and yashfeh.

Prayer 2

The Tenth of Tevet

For on the Tenth of Tevet, the Name of Hashem is completed through the ten tribes that are included one within the other, which are Reuven, Shimon, Levi, Yehuda, Yissachar, Zevulun, Dan, Naftali, Gad, and Asher, which are included in the month of Tevet, which is the month included in Netzach, Hod, Yesod of Zeir Anpin, which is the central bar that extends from end to end, for all the work is to extend the "Yud" that it should turn into a "Vav," for Moshe called Hoshea Yehoshua, and at the end of Parshat Devarim, Yehoshua receives the second "Vav," which is the completeness of the name Yehoshua, the initials of "Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust."

For to connect the two foundations, the foundation of Binah Leah, the secret of Achashverosh, and the secret of the foundation of Binah of Malchut, the secret of the foundation of Rachel, and when the two foundations are connected, then this is the nullification of the kingdom of the nations that will be on the Tenth of Tevet, just as the kingdom of Haman was nullified over seventy days, which correspond to Cheshvan, Kislev, and ten days of Tevet, for on the sixteenth of Nissan, the kingdom of Haman was nullified, just before he was about to receive the right to hang people at his will, and the nullification of the kingdom of Haman that was on the sixteenth of Nissan is drawn from the power of the Tenth of Tevet, about which it is said, "On this very day," the king of Babylon laid siege to Jerusalem, which "on this very day" is said about Yom Kippur, that the Tenth of Tevet is truly like Yom Kippur, which would override Shabbat if the Tenth of Tevet fell on Shabbat.

For the power of the Tenth of Tevet is drawn from Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon, from the crown of the crown, in the secret of "It shall come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of the one who was separated from his brothers," for only Joseph merited the secret of the crown, which is Adam Kadmon of Adam Kadmon, and with this power it is said about Gad, "He tears the arm, even the crown," in the secret of the crown of hair that walks in its guilt, for only through the illumination of the crown can all the guilty be cut off, and this will be done by the tribe of Gad, from whom Eliyahu the prophet descended, about whom it is said, "He tears the arm, even the crown," for Benjamin is the arm, and "between his shoulders he dwells," and therefore Eliyahu is also mentioned among the sons of Benjamin.

For through the month of Tevet, when the connection of Rachel and Leah = 274 nullifies all the wild beasts in the world that were drawn from the bones of the wicked Balaam and Balak his companions, which are also gematria 274, gematria Arad = 274, about which Hashem asks Job, "Can you escape from the shell of Arad 274, and who opened the bonds of Arad?"

Prayer 3

Master of the World, Omnipotent, on the yahrzeit of our Rebbe Natan zt"l, grant me, El, full of mercy, to see Eliyahu the prophet, remembered for good, face to face, and may the verse be fulfilled in me: "Then sang Moshe and the children of Israel this song to Hashem," and may I merit on the yahrzeit of our Rebbe Natan zt"l to be a student and veteran of our holy and awesome Rebbe, and through this may it be fulfilled in me what is said, "You delivered the mighty into the hands of the weak, and the many into the hands of the few."
