Unique Master, Merciful One, G-d of truth, in Your bountiful mercy, guard me and save me from liars and hypocrites. Have compassion on me and save me so that no element of falsehood, not even a false movement, attach itself to me. Let me never say a word of falsehood or hypocracy; Heaven forbid. May it never enter my mind to claim or take honour from, accomplishes that are beyond me. Don’t let me deceive myself or others.

Master of the Universe, You know the immense exaltedness of the holiness of the true tzaddikim. Their splendour and greatness is very precious. All their words are true and just. Great and wonderful things have been heard from their mouths. It is their custom sometimes to speak of their own greatness and awesome wonders, with truth and simplicity. All their words are true and exact. By hearing these wonders from their mouths, we can understand something of the greatness of the Holy One Who gave His wisdom to those who fear Him. He gave strength to the tzaddikim to ascertain perceptions of godliness like these that they talk about. But You left us with a possibility of erring. There are liars and deceivers who parallel the tzaddikim but who are like a monkey in comparison to man. They also talk of their wonders, as if noting is beyond them. But it is all falsehood and deceit. So, I have to pray before You that You guard and protect us from these liars and deceivers who dress up in a tallit that is not theirs. Let them have no power or control to harm us at all, whether materially or spiritually. Bestow upon us true knowledge so that we can distinguish the true tzaddikim and their followers. Let us always choose the truth and may our portion be with them forever.

Help us to give lots of charity to deserving poor people. By this let us break any cruelty in our character. Come to our help; give us power, through our charity to unite blessings and holiness in all the worlds to the loftiest heights. And, as a result of the charity, merit us to nullify and break the craving for illicit sex from us. Separate us from the liars and deceivers. Let us not stumble into charity to undeserving poor people. Through this, guard us from blemishing this unification of blessing and holiness which prevents the craving for illicit sex from overcoming us. You, Yourself

Guard my charity so that the forces of the Other Side will not take my nourishment from it, Heaven forbid. All my intention in giving charity is just to perform the mitzvah of giving charity in order to give you pleasure for You commanded us in Your holy Torah to give charity. Therefore I give all my charity according to the opinion of the true tzaddikim and they will elevate my charity, rectifying it and creating exalted unification in the loftiest heights with the utmost and sublimist holiness. As a result, You will have great pleasure and delight from my charity.

Through the power and merit of my charity, enable me to break the craving for illicit sex completely and to merit to truly rectify the brit. Furthermore, in Your bountiful mercy, arrange events for the good so that the wicked, fornicators will give all their charity to liars an deceivers. And may the tzaddikim be saved from receiving any blemished charity, from them. Thus the tzaddikim will not lose their holy power of speech which they receive by way of those who donate charity. I pray to You G-d at this special time that in Your abundant loving-kindness You will answer me.

 See inside for the answer to the question that they asked where they asked: Why, when a person asks (prays) for an income is he not given it immediately even when it is already prepared for him but, rather, receives it only by intermediate (natural) causes, each person according to his own efforts.
