Today is the Forty-Three Day of the Omer • The Omer-Counting Text and a Prayer from the Gaon HaTzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a for Chesed within 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 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 mitzvos 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: 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. The peoples will thank You, O God; the 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. The peoples will thank You, O God; the 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 the greatness of Your right hand, release the bound. Accept the songful prayer 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 reward them. Powerful 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 counting of the Omer, in order to purify us from our klipos 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 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 counting of the Omer that I counted today, what I damaged in the sefirah Chesed within 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—no plan is beyond You. Reveal to me, in the sefirah of “Chesed d’Malchus,” the Fiftieth Gate. And on this holy and awe-inspiring day, reveal to me all the secrets of the Torah that flow from the Fiftieth Gate—secrets that have never yet been revealed in the world. As it is written, that things You did not reveal to Moshe Rabbeinu, You revealed to Rabbi Akiva and his companions, as it says: “From weeping rivers He bound up, and brought hidden things out to light.” Therefore, on this holy and awe-inspiring day—this Chesed d’Malchus—through which You reveal all the secrets from the Fiftieth Gate, by whose merit all of Israel merited—men, women, and children—because on this holy and awe-inspiring day all the secrets are revealed, and all the hidden mysteries, and all the secrets of the creation of the world. For now we are seven days before the giving of the Torah, which will be given anew at the end of this week, at the giving of the Torah.
