Today is Thirty-Nine Days of the Omer • The Omer-Counting Text and a Prayer from the holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a for Netzach within Yesod
The Order of the Omer Counting Text (Sefard):
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. 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 commandments and commanded us concerning the Counting of the Omer.
Today is thirty-nine days, which are five weeks and four days 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. To make Your way 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—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—guard, like the apple of the eye, those who seek Your Oneness. Bless them, purify them; with the compassion of Your righteousness, repay them תמיד. Mighty 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 kingship forever and ever.
Master of the world, You commanded us through Moshe Your servant to count the Counting of 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-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 Netzach within Yesod 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.
Presented here is a prayer written by the holy Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a for Netzach within Yesod, for reading and downloading:
Master of the world, Almighty—no plan is beyond You—reveal to me, in the sefirah of Netzach within Yesod, the Fiftieth Gate, just as You revealed it to Devorah the Prophetess, as it is said: “And she sat between HaRamah and Beis El.” HaRamah is the secret of Adam Kadmon (245)—this is the secret of Leah. And Beis El is the secret of Rachel. For only Devorah merited, in wholeness, the secret of Yesod—through her subduing Sisera with “nine hundred iron chariots,” the secret of “I will climb the palm tree; I will grasp its branches” [Megaleh Amukos 79, Shir HaShirim, Parashah 8]. For Devorah merited to “climb the palm tree,” like Chananyah, Mishael, and Azaryah, who merited to “climb the palm tree.” Devorah merited absolute guarding of the eyes, and therefore she is “sitting beneath the palm tree.” Just as a palm tree has only one heart, so the main avodah in Netzach within Yesod is guarding the eyes. And for this Devorah merited—that all the days of her life she merited to be in HaRamah, the secret of Adam Kadmon 245: for one who merits to be in HaRamah and thus to guard the eyes, merits to sit there תמיד in holiness all the days of his life.
