The Final Counting • Today is Forty-Nine Days of the Omer • The Omer-Counting Text and a Prayer from the Gaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a for Malchus sheb’Malchus
The Order of the Final (Sefard) Omer-Counting Text:
For the sake of the unification of the Holy One, blessed be He, and His Shechinah, with awe and with love—to unify the Name Y-H with V-H in perfect unity, in the name of all Israel. Here I am ready and prepared to fulfill the positive mitzvah of counting the Omer, as it is written in the Torah: “And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow of the Shabbos, from the day you bring the Omer of the waving—seven complete weeks shall they be. Until the morrow of the seventh Shabbos you shall count fifty days, and you shall bring a new meal-offering to Hashem.” “May the pleasantness of Hashem our God be upon us; establish for us the work of our hands—establish the work of our hands.”
Blessed are You, Hashem our God, King of the universe, Who sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us concerning the counting of the Omer.
Today is forty-nine days, which are seven weeks of the Omer
For the conductor, with melodies—a psalm, a song: God be gracious to us and bless us; may He shine His face with us, Selah. That Your way be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. Let peoples thank You, O God; let all peoples thank You. Nations will rejoice and sing, for You will judge peoples with fairness, and guide nations on earth, Selah. Let peoples thank You, O God; let all peoples thank You. The earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, will bless us. God will bless us, and all the ends of the earth will fear Him.
Ana B’Koach, with the greatness of Your right hand, release the bound. Accept the song of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, Awesome One. Please, Mighty One—guard those who seek Your Oneness as the apple of the eye. Bless them, purify them; with the compassion of Your righteousness, always repay them. Strong and Holy One, in Your abundant goodness, lead Your congregation. Unique and Exalted One, turn to Your people—those who remember Your holiness. Blessed is the Name of the glory of His kingship forever and ever.
Master of the world, You commanded us through Moshe Your servant to count the Omer, in order to purify us from our husks and from our impurities, as You wrote in Your Torah: “And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow of the Shabbos, from the day you bring the Omer of the waving—seven complete weeks shall they be. Until the morrow of the seventh Shabbos you shall count fifty days.” So that the souls of Your people Israel may be purified from their defilement. Therefore, may it be Your will, Hashem our God and God of our fathers, that in the merit of the Omer-counting that I counted today, what I damaged in the sefirah Malchus sheb’Malchus be rectified. Purify me and sanctify me with the holiness from Above, and through this may abundant shefa be drawn down in all the worlds. And rectify our souls, our spirits, and our neshamas from every stain and blemish; purify us and sanctify us with Your supernal holiness. Amen, Selah.

Master of the world, Almighty, grant us, on the day of Malchus sheb’Malchus, to behold the face of Hashem eye to eye, as it is said: “For eye to eye they shall see when Hashem returns to Zion.” And may we merit the true House of Hashem—that the Beis HaMikdash of fire from Heaven should already descend. Then all the peoples of the earth will see that “Hashem—He is God; there is none besides Him.” And then all the peoples of the earth will serve You with a complete heart, and the Malchus of Hashem will be revealed in all the worlds and in every individual. Then the inner ascent will be revealed—nefesh within nefesh, ruach within ruach, neshamah within neshamah, chayah within chayah, and yechidah within yechidah. Through this, all the nations will serve You with a complete heart, without any distraction—even for a single second—forever.[embeddoc url="https://www.shuvubanimint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/מח-מלכות-שבמלכות.pdf" download="all" viewer="google"]
