Today is the Forty-Fourth Day of the Omer • The Omer-Counting Text and a Prayer from the Gaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a for Gevurah Sheb’Malchus
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 Y-H with V-H in a complete unification, in the name of all Israel. I am hereby 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-offering—seven complete weeks shall there 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-three days, which are six weeks and two days of the Omer.
For the conductor, with melodies, a psalm—a song: May God favor 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 what is 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. Singular and Exalted One, turn to Your people—those who remember Your holiness. Blessed is the Name of the glory of His Kingdom forever and ever.
Master of the universe, 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-offering—seven complete weeks shall there 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 Gevurah Sheb’Malchus be repaired. May I be purified and sanctified with the holiness from Above, and through this may abundant shefa be drawn down in all the worlds. And may it repair our souls, our spirits, and our neshamas—from every dross and blemish—and purify us and sanctify us with Your supernal holiness. Amen, Selah.

Master of the universe, Almighty, from Whom no plan is withheld—grant me, on this holy and awe-inspiring day, to attain Gevurah Sheb’Malchus, and to overcome my yetzer hara in the blink of an eye = 435. And in the merit of this—Hashem is One = 1—may I merit to draw the soul of Moshiach into the world: Moshiach 358 son of 52 David 24 = 435, who will now bring the complete Geulah, and will merit to bring down the Beis HaMikdash of fire. And all of Am Yisrael will be a flaming fire for Hashem, may He be blessed; and all will see, eye to eye, Hashem, may He be blessed. And through this we will merit the complete Geulah in the blink of an eye. Amen—forever, Selah, and evermore.
