Today, the 12th of Kislev, marks the Hillula (anniversary of passing) of the author of the "Bas Ayin," Rabbi Avraham Dov Ber of Avritch zy"a (may his merit protect us), one of the disciples of the Baal Shem Tov, who lived in Tzfat and performed miracles and salvations.

Before you is a prayer from the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) to be recited at his holy Tziyun (gravesite) located in the cemetery in Tzfat:

B"SD L"ShM L"ShB (With the help of Heaven, for the sake of the unification of the Holy One and His Shechinah)
PRAYER FOR THE BAS AYIN
Written on the occasion of his Hillula (anniversary of passing), 12th of Kislev, 5785

In the merit of the Gaon and Tzaddik Avraham Dov, son of Rabbi David, author of the "Bas Ayin," may his merit protect us, Amen. All the miracles and wonders that occurred in recent generations are credited to the merit of the "Bas Ayin," and even the earthquake that occurred on the 24th of Teves, 5594 (1837), in which 4,000 righteous men and women, Chassidim and Chassidiyot, were killed—in the merit of the "Bas Ayin," all the others who remained alive were saved. For whoever prays at his holy and awesome Tziyun (gravesite), and whoever makes use of his merits which never cease, for they are infinite merits, the likes of which have not been created since the day of the creation of heaven and earth. And in his merit, Mashiach ben David (the Messiah from the line of David) shall be revealed, and we shall merit the complete Geulah (Redemption), and the building of the Third Beis HaMikdash (Holy Temple).
And in the merit of the "Bas Ayin," may all 50 Gates of Binah (Understanding) and the 32 Paths of Chochmah (Wisdom) be opened to us, and may we merit to understand the entire Shas (Talmud), and all 14 volumes of the Rambam (Maimonides), and all 4 parts of the Shulchan Aruch (Code of Jewish Law), and all 4 Turim, and all of the Ketzos HaChoshen, Nesivos HaMishpat, Tokpo Kohen, Meiri, Rashba, Ramban, Ritva, Rif and Rosh, and all the responsa of the Chasam Sofer and the Noda BiYehudah, and all the books of the Sfas Emes and the Chiddushei HaRim, our holy and awesome Rebbe (Rebbe Nachman), and the books of the Etz Chaim, Pri Etz Chaim, Saraf Etz Chaim, the Eight Gates, the Zohar, Tikkunei Zohar, and the rest of the books. And through this, may all barren women be blessed with children, and all brides be married, in the blink of an eye, Amen, Netzach Sela Va'ed (forever and ever).
