Rav Berland’s Prayers for Shalom Bayit #3
In keeping with Rabbi Berland’s instructions to translate a minimum of 10 prayers a week into English, we are continuing our new series of prayers, this time for Shalom Bayit.
21. Master of the world who can do anything and from whom nothing is withheld.
Grant me, the One who can do anything, true Shalom Bayit.
And fulfill in me and my wife (husband) the blessing with which You blessed us in the seven days of nuptials, and especially the blessing, “make intensely happy the beloved companions (64) like you made happy Your creation in Gan Eden from the days of old, Blessed are You Hashem who gladdens the bride and the groom”.
And through this fulfill in us the prayer, “nation, ‘I am (61) a wall (59), brilliant (207) like the sun (73), yet exiled (44) and displaced (277); likened to (449) a palm tree (670), yet murdered (244) for your sake (130), she hugs (121) and cleaves (123) to You (22)” = 2571.
And draw down on me and my wife (husband) all the blessings from the dew of the crystal (50) in the merit of King David (14) peace be upon him.
And through this may there be fulfilled in us the verse which was said about Rivka:
“and they blessed (244) (401) Rivka (307) and they said (263) to her (35) you are (401) our sister (471) may you be (25) thousands (151) of myriads (209) = 2571 and may your offspring conquer the gates of its enemies”.
