8.
Like a Shofar I will raise my voice and cry out. Master of the Universe, Unique Master, who reigns over everything, have compassion on us and send us a tzaddik to reproach us in the proper way. Guard us and save us from those leaders who are not worthy to reproach, for not every person knows how to reproach. When the reproacher is not worthy he can weaken our souls by his improper reproach. Therefore, I have com before You, G-d our G-d, G-d of our Fathers, Who loves the Jewish People, have mercy upon us for Your Name’s sake and send us a saviour, a tzaddik who can reproach us openly from deep love. Let his reproach be for the good, like that of Moshe. As a result, let him give and add a sweet fragrance to our souls so that it strengthens and encourages our souls until we draw down bounty and blessings to all those worlds dependent on our souls. Then merit us, through this good reproach, to return in complete, genuine repentance from love of G-d. Bestow upon the tzaddik who reproaches us, the voice of Moshe which is the sound of the song that will be sung in the future, the song which is simple, double, triple and quadruple song, which is embodied in Your great and holy Name. So, merit us to arouse, reveal and draw upon ourselves this voice which waters Gan Eden, the voice of this holy song that will be sung in the future when the world is renewed. By this voice all the fragrances grow, together with holy fear. Therefore, draw upon us perfect fear, sublime fear, fear of G-d’s exaltedness. May I feel this holy fear upon me at all times, in all my 248 limbs and 365 sinews. Let my fear of You show in my face such that I will not sin. Merit me to true humility so that I become truly encompassed in You.
So, please in Your endless mercy and great loving-kindness, have mercy upon me; merit me to nullify and break the craving for food completely. May I subdue the food of the body while constantly strengthening the food of the soul. Master of the Universe, You know the great weakness of our souls; they have become weakened very much because of our many and immense sins. We have no more strength to suffer. Merciful One, have pity on our souls, spirits and neshamot. Strengthen them with fear of Heaven and water them with the water of Gan Eden. Draw upon them the good fragrance of Gan Eden such that all our bad deeds will turn into merit. Let a good fragrance rise up before You from our deeds. Help us to subdue, break and nullify the heel of the Other Side which is the craving for food and drink, sustenance of the body. So, have mercy upon us for Your Name’s sake and save my soul. From now on may all our eating and drinking be only for the sake of preserving the soul, at it says “A tzaddik eats to nourish his soul.”
Arouse Your compassion and great loving-kindness, and merit us to pray with all our heart and soul. Bestow mercy and grace upon us, like a father upon his son. May our words and prayers find pleasure before You so that we arouse Your true compassion upon us. What can I do, my Father in Heaven, I am seriously trapped in the vanities of This World. I do not know how to save my soul. I rely upon You alone. You have already performed for me many favours and great, wonderful acts of loving-kindness beyond measure. My Father in Heaven, from now on, merit me, speedily, to perfect prayer with real, heartful intentions. Merit me to always pray before You with mercy and supplications, in such away that I merit to return in complete repentance. Save me, in Your bountiful mercy in the realm of holiness.
Save me from cruelty, from anger and from being over stringent with people. On the contrary, merit me to be good and to do good to others, as You really desire. Bestow upon me a sense of compassion so that I will always have mercy over others. Let me sanctify my mind and thoughts at all times with great holiness. I will not let any unholy or inappropriate thoughts enter my min. Save me always from restricted brains. Bestow upon me at all times expanded consciousness and may my lmind increase constantly in great holiness and purity.
In You bountiful mercy, merit me to refine, purify and sanctify all my three brains in the skull, which are wisdom, understanding and knowledge, until these three brains will act as barriers against the evil and all-inclusive desire for sex.
Have mercy upon us; send us a genuine tzaddik, a strong man, with great strength who will be zealous for the sake of G-d. Let him pray before You in the aspect of judgment, with great power and holiness. He will make judgment with You, like Pinchas when he was zealous for G-d against Zimri. Help us, the merit of this tzaddik’s prayer to subdue, break and nullify the craving for sex from us and from all the Jewish People, from now on and forever. In Your great love, please have mercy on the Jewish People. Give strength to the prayer of this powerful tzaddik whose prayer is in the aspect of judgment. Let his prayer be lodged in the throat of the Other Side and husks until the Other Side and husks have to throw up and spit out from their depths all the holy sparks that they swallowed; all the knowledge, compassion and prayers, with all kinds of holy sparks; that were swallowed because of our innumerable blemishes and wilful sins, especially blemishes to the brit. May the Other Side be forced to spit out all the sparks from its inners, very hastily. Then let many genuine converts become added to the Jewish People until all the nations will recognise Your Kingship and know that G-d alone rules over all the earth. This should reveal and publicise to all the world Your G-dliness and Lordship. Even those far away should hear of this and approach, recognising the power of Your Kingship.
“So grant honour, G-d to Your People, praise to those who revere You, good hope to those who seek You and eloquent speech to those who hope to You” (Amida Prayer Rosh HaShana). Merit us that Your great honour be exalted by us at all times. Let Your glory be extolled and upraised in the world until, by this revelation of Your holy honour, You bestow a bounty of prophesy in the world. Return a bounty of prophesy to us which we lost through our sins until we all merit to be worthy to receive the bounty of prophesy and the dwelling of the Shechinah among us.
Have compassion on us in Your bountiful loving-kindness and cure us completely from all our blows, illnesses and pains. Send speedily from Heaven a complete cure to all the sick Jews (especially so and so…) a cure of the body and soul. We have no hope or anyone to depend on at all apart from You for You are the genuine healer, the faithful and merciful healer.
Please merit us, in Your great mercy, to come close to true tzaddikim who have an aspect of the spirit of prophesy, a real spirit of holiness, such that, through them, we merit to clarify and rectify our power of imagination. Then it will not confuse us, Heaven forbid, with delusions and evil confusions. Rather let us merit to a power of imagination which is very clear, pure and refined in the most perfect way. As a result merit us to perfectly clear and straightforward faith, as You really desire, without any element of confusion at all. Save us from rabbis and leaders who are false, who are an aspect of false prophets. Prevent them from confusing our minds with all kinds of delusions, Heaven forbid. Refine and purify us from the poison of the Serpent. Keep us away from all kinds of false beliefs. On the contrary, merit me to always be pure and simple with G-d, to behave with the utmost, genuine simplicity, with really perfect faith, as You desire.
Help and save me so that I merit to hear the sound of the song and tune that will be sung in the future when You renew the world. Merciful One, the Good One, Who bestows good, help me from now on to be strong and block my eyes and ears from all sights and sound of This World so that I will not look at the vanities of the world at all and will not listen to the sounds of the world at all. Le me never speak words other than those that relate to Your Name and to Your service. Songs and praise of Your great and Holy Name should come from my mouth. Merit me to turn my throat away from this world so that no vain breath so this world enters my mouth. Rather, merit me to subdue all my body, my hands and legs, to You so as not to make any movement which is without the service of G-d. Let all my limbs and sinews, my senses and strength all be really connected and deeply attached to You, servants to Your Service for ever and ever, for all eternity, until I merit to hear in the future the soul of this holy and awesome song that will be sung and played on a harp of seventy-two strings. Happy are the ears that will hear this.
May we merit to welcome Rosh HaShana with very great holiness and purity and with great perfection. In these holy days of Rosh HaShana may we draw upon ourselves the holiness of the prayer of the truly strong One, a prayer in the aspect of judgment, with all the holiness and rectifications brought about this, until we merit to perfect all the three brains in the head so that they from three partitions spread against sexual craving; let them protect us by true perception and intelligence such that this craving will have no control or hold over us at all from now on – forever. Rather, may I and all Your Nation, Israel, merit to be truly holy and pure, to abstain from this craving completely. May we merit to perfect prayer and let our prayers always be considered as prayers of mercy and entreaties before the Holy One, may He be blessed.
Grant us mercy, that we have real compassion upon deserving poor people and upon all those in need of mercy, as is Your good. Help us inspire many of the people in the world to repent and convert, as is Your good desire. And help us glorify Your honour and publicise Your Divinity in the world, until we merit through great holiness to the real spirit of prophesy and to clarify the power of illusion that it be clear, refined and purified within us, with great purity and clarity, in such a way that we merit to arrange descriptions and praises to Your great and holy Name with tremendous holiness, as is fitting. May we bless Your holy and exalted Name by every blessing or praise and may our belief in the renewal of the world become stronger and stronger until we merit to the renewal of the worlds as it will be in the Future. Let all the world be guided by providence and wonders alone, in a completely supernatural way. May a new song be poured into the world, a song of wonders: “break into song O mountains,” and subdue the heel of the Other Side which is the heel of Esau, the wicked one. May the voice of Jacob become stronger and stronger and overcome the hands of Esau.
Fulfill the verse which says: “And his hand took hold of Esau’s heel.” Draw upon us the river which goes out from Eden to water the Garden and by this may we merit to raise a fine fragrance before You; let us merit to always really complete fear, in particular on these holy days of Rosh HaShana which are the days of fear. Have mercy upon us and draw upon us phenomenally great awe, fear and dread, especially at the time of hearing the sound of the shofar and let us merit to feel very great fear in our hearts. Bestow upon us Your fear, dread and awe and upon all Israel and all the creatures of the worlds and ‘may allYour works fear You and all creatures prostrate themselves before You so that they may all form one united group to do Your will with a perfect heart/’.
Our Father, Our King, in Your mercy let us merit to receive and draw upon ourselves the holiness of Rosh HaShana in absolute perfection, with happiness and the utmost holiness of thought, with great fear. May we merit to perform the commandment of hearing the sound of the shofar with great holiness and perfection, as is fitting, with all its details, exactitudes and intentions and the 614 commandments dependent on it, with great awe and fear, as is written: “Shall a shofar be blown in the city and the people not be afraid?” And it says, “Blessed is the people who know the sound of the shofar, they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of Your Countentance. In Your Name they will rejoice all the day; in Your righteousness they will be exalted. For You are the glory of their strength and in Your desire our horn shall be exalted. For the Lord is our defence and the Holy One of Israel is our King.”
And it says, “With trumpets and the sound of the shofar make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.” And it says, “Blow the shofar on the New Moon, on the day of the veiling of the moon for our feast-day. For it is statute for Israel and a judgement to the G-d of Jacob”. May we merit to arrange before You our recital of Your Sovereignty, our recital of Your Remembrance and our recital concerning the shofar with great devotion and perfection until we merit to appease You so that You bring us Messiah, our Righteousness One, “and You filled him with fear of the Lord.” Hasten and greatly speed our redemption; build for us the “the House of our holiness and splendour.” Let us return to our Land with joy and song and may we serve You in fear “as in the days of old and as in former years.” “Return to us O Lord and we will return; renew our days of old.” “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing before Your Countenance, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
Amen and Amen.
