PRAYER #11:

Master of the world who can do anything and from whom nothing is withheld.

Grant (87) me (417) and my (401) wife (711) (husband) the light (237) of the seven (772) days (105) = 2736.

AND MAY I AND MY WIFE (HUSBAND) MERIT TO BE LIKE A BRIDE AND GROOM ON THE DAY OF THEIR WEDDING.

And through this may we merit at every moment to all the sheva (372) brachot (628) [seven wedding blessings].

And may we merit in every thought, speech and action, to unify the Holy (417) Name (341), Blessed (232) is He (12), and may we live all our days in love (13) and quietude (341) friendship, companionship and peace (382) = 2736.

And in the merit of this may my wife (husband) merit a complete (375) healing (422) in the blink (305) of an eye (130) because, “You (406) are mighty (211) forever (176) Hashem” = 2736.

AND MAY I NO LONGER FALL EVER.

And through this, “proclaim (247) amongst the nations (61) that Hashem (26) ruled (90) indeed (81) firmly establishing (476) the world (432) so that it will not (32) topple (455) He will judge (74) the people (160) with fairness (602)” = 2736.

Prayer #12:

Master of the world who can do anything and from whom nothing is withheld.

You wrote in the last blessing of the Sheva Brachot:

> “who created joy and gladness, groom and bride, rejoicing, glad song, pleasure, delight, love, togetherness, peace and friendship”.

PLEASE, GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL ONE, MAY ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE WITH MY WIFE (HUSBAND) BE ONLY DAYS OF JOY AND HAPPINESS, LOVE, TOGETHERNESS, PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP.

And may we be satisfied all the days of our lives with pleasure and happiness, and may we be like the two Cherubs which were on the Ark of the Covenant.

And may our home be an aspect of the Mishkan and the tables in our home will be an aspect of the Tables in the Beit Hamikdash, and the menorahs (light fittings) in our home be an aspect of the Menorahs that were in the Beit HaMikdash.

AND MAY ALL OF OUR HOME BE SANCTIFIED WITH THE HOLINESS OF THE BEIT HAMIKDASH WITH THE HOLINESS OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES.

And may there be imbued in my husband (me) the angel Metatron, and in me (my wife) may there be imbued the angel Yefayfiah from whom comes all the beauty and the glory and the splendor.

And therefore groom (458) bride (55) + 2 = 515 is the numerical value of the two angels, Metatron (314) and Yefayfiah (201) = 515.

PRAYER #13:

Master of the world who can do anything and from whom nothing is withheld.

Grant me, “a worm and not a man, the embarrassment of man and the disgraced of the people” like me, grant me, Gracious and Merciful One who can do anything for me.

SUBDUE THE MAROR = 446 [BITTER HERBS] WHICH IS DEATH = 446 AND REMOVE DEATH FROM ME AND FROM MY WIFE (HUSBAND) AND FROM MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS.

And may I merit the light (237) which shines (256) = 493 + 2 + 1 = 496.

The secret of the Leviathan = 496, that I may merit the light of the Leviathan, and spread above me his skin, and through this may I merit his light, and spread over me Your Succah of peace.

AND MAY THE MEMBERS OF MY HOUSEHOLD NO LONGER KNOW ANY PAIN OR ILLNESS, AND MAY THERE PREVAIL IN OUR HOME ONLY LOVE, WARMTH AND FRIENDSHIP, AND CANCEL ALL JUDGMENTS IN THE WORLD OFF ME.

And may I merit to live, in the blink (305) of an eye (130) = 435 on ‘Homa Shelishit’ [street], in the merit of the Tzaddik (209) the foundation (80) of the world (146) = 435, in the blink of an eye, speedily and in our days, Amen.

And then (8) may I merit the true (856) love (410) of Israel (541) = 1825 and to love my spouse with all my nefesh, ruach and neshamah [levels of the soul].
