Today is Forty-Two Days of the Omer • The Omer-Counting Text and a Prayer from the holy gaon and tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a for Malchus sheb’Yesod
The Order of the Omer-Counting Text (Sefard):
For the sake of the unification of the Holy One, blessed is He, and His Shechinah, with awe and with love—to unify the Name Yud–Heh with Vav–Heh in a complete unification, in the name of all Israel. Behold, 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.” And 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-two days, which are six weeks of the Omer
For the conductor, with melodies, a psalm, a song: God will favor us and bless us; He will shine His face with us, Selah. So that Your way will be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. Peoples will thank You, O God; peoples will thank You—all of them. Nations will rejoice and sing, for You will judge peoples with fairness, and guide nations on earth, Selah. Peoples will thank You, O God; peoples will thank You—all of them. 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—by the power of Your right hand’s greatness, release the bound. Accept the song of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, Awesome One. Please, Mighty One—those who seek Your Oneness—guard them like 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 kelipos 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 will 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 counting of the Omer that I counted today, what I damaged in the sefirah Malchus sheb’Yesod be repaired. Purify me and sanctify me with the holiness from Above, and through this may abundant shefa be drawn down in all the worlds. Repair our souls, our spirits, and our neshamas from every dross and blemish; purify us and sanctify us with Your supernal holiness. Amen, Selah.

Master of the world, Almighty—nothing is beyond You, and no plan is withheld from You—grant us that in this sefirah, Malchus sheb’Yesod, the two great luminaries will shine with equal light, and that we will merit the sefirah of Malchus sheb’Yesod. And therefore, in Malchus d’Yesod—when the time comes to repair all the blemishes of all the Nesi’im, including those of Nachshon ben Aminadav, who joined Korach against Moshe—through this, may the awesome sin of Mei Merivah be repaired, because of which Moshe did not enter the Land and all of Israel remained in the wilderness. For today is the complete tikkun of “a sun of righteousness with healing in its wings,” and the light of the sun will shine and rise and blossom—reaching up to the Reisha d’Lo Isyada (the unknowable “Head,” the highest hidden root). And may we already merit a complete Geulah, speedily in our days. And may we merit on this holy and awesome day—on “one within two”—to subdue the serpent, about which it is said: “the way of a serpent upon a rock.” And may we always ascend higher and higher, without end and without limit. And may everything we blemished in Malchus sheb’Yesod be repaired. And in the merit of this sefirah of Malchus sheb’Yesod, may we merit each and every day to enter into the fire, like Rabbi Zeira. And always, in the merit of this holy and awesome sefirah, may we learn Torah within the fire, like Rabbi Zeira, and like Yehonasan ben Uziel.
