Before you is Parshas HaMan for reading, followed by a collection of prayers from our teacher, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, for abundant parnassah (livelihood):

May it be Your will, Hashem our G-d and G-d of our fathers, that You provide parnassah (livelihood) for all Your people, the House of Israel, and my livelihood and the livelihood of the members of my household among them. May it be with ease and not with pain, with honor and not with disgrace, in a permitted way and not in a forbidden way, so that we may be able to perform Your service and study Your Torah, just as You fed our fathers Manna in the desert, in a land of drought and wilderness:

Before you is a prayer from our teacher, Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a, which speaks in part of the descent of the Manna:

To merit the creation of the world anew and to subdue all the arudim (venomous spiritual obstacles) in the world, and to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel through faith, joy, song, and dancing—the "Head of the House" (Rosh Bayis) is the root of all worlds.

Master of the World, All-Powerful, merit me to the creation of the world anew, the secret of "Bereishis" (In the beginning), the secret of "Rosh Bayis" (Head of the house), the secret of "Es Rashb"i" (the holy Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai), the root for all worlds was created, the secret of the Goblet (Gavia) 13 × 72 = 936, the secret of Mordechai and Esther = 936+1, the secret of Mattathias and his sons 936+1, for through Bereishis, teshuvah (repentance) from love, we merit the secret of the Father's song, that we may merit to sing and play music day and night = 177, and then we enter with the body into Gan Eden (Paradise) = 177, like Serach daughter of Asher = 1411, who entered with her body into Gan Eden, and all her thoughts were to eliminate Esau, who is the root of evil, like Orpah who was the root of evil for all generations, and through the word "Bereishis" we subdue them all, and merit the lights of the Infinite (Ein Sof), and to subdue the King of Arad 274, who is the root for all the arudim (venomous creatures) in the world, which are created from the separation between the heel of Leah and the crown of Rachel, and this is "How beautiful are your steps in sandals," when the feet of Leah connect with the crown of Rachel, and the crown of Rachel becomes the sandals of Leah, and then Leah has sandals, in the secret of "and the needy for a pair of sandals," and then there are sandals for the Shechinah (Divine Presence) to descend below ten handbreadths, which we merit on Chanukah, when the Shechinah receives sandals to descend below ten handbreadths, and therefore "Joseph was brought down to Egypt" to the place of the klipos (husks of evil), because he already merited sandals that protect him, as he merited to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, and then "Upon Edom I will cast my sandal" and this is the secret of "A womb, two wombs for the head of a man," that the abundance of mercy was revealed in the merit of Yael, who turned into the High Priest, who is Eli, and from them came Abaye whose ruling followed him in Ya"el K"gam, the secret of the filling of E-k-y-e 143, for Joseph merited to rectify all the tzimtzumim (contractions) in the world, through faith, joy, and dancing for 12 years, which he did not cease from for even a single second, and only saw Hashem eye to eye, for Yael "shattered and struck his head, pierced his temple," by connecting the heel of Leah with the crown of Rachel, and this is the secret of "Go out in the footsteps of the sheep," they are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who connected the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, which is the secret of "The white streaks which were on the rods," and then Jacob merited to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, and then his blessing was fulfilled "That bites the horse's heels so that his rider falls backward," that he connected Rachel and Leah, and then Samson was born, who brought down the entire house with millions of people, in the merit of the eye that was gouged out, for there are Ekev (172) words in the Ten Commandments, in order to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, and then the crown of Rachel becomes the sandal of Leah, and then "Upon Edom I will cast my sandal," and it is not written my sword or my spear, only "my sandal," for the moment the heels of Leah turn into the crown of Rachel, then the end will come upon Esau, as it is said "Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed" "The mighty men of Moab, trembling seizes them" = 274, Rachel Leah = 274, for the moment the heels of Leah connect with the crown of Rachel, then "All the inhabitants of Canaan melted away," and the end will come for all the enemies of Israel, who are Ammon, Moab, and Edom, like in the days of Jehoshaphat, when they all gathered at Ein Gedi, Edom, Moab, and Ammon, and as soon as the people of Israel began with song, immediately "Give thanks to Hashem for His kindness is forever," immediately every man's sword was against his fellow, and by the time they reached the village of Yeruel, they found them all as dead corpses, and Dathan and Abiram who did not want to believe in the greatness of the miracle of the Manna, and went out on the Sabbath day to gather from the Manna, and damaged the secret of "Bereishis," "Yarei Shabbos" (Fear of Sabbath), "Yarei Boshes" (Fear of Shame), and then all the arudim (venomous creatures) that harm human beings came out into the world, 'for woe to the man whom an arud (venomous creature) has harmed, and woe to the arud that Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa has harmed,' who already connected the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, and through this said to his daughter 'He who told the oil to burn will tell the vinegar to burn' and it is impossible to connect the heels of Leah with the crown of Rachel, except through song and dancing.
