Please grant me faith in the Sages—a pure, clear, and wholehearted faith in the true tzadikim. May I never, G-d forbid, dispute any true tzadik—in thought, speech, or deed. Grant me the merit of cleaving to true tzadikim forever, so that nothing and no one may prevent me from truly remaining connected to them and receiving their holy knowledge. Send me, in Your mercy, abundant blessing from Above. Compassionate Father, grant me the merit of fulfilling the Torah and mitzvot before You for the sake of Heaven. In Your mercy, raise up the Mishkan (Sanctuary), rest Your Presence among us, sweeten all harsh judgments and evil decrees in this world, and pour mercy and kindness upon all of Israel, wherever they may be. Please grant me the merit that my heart may burn for You, blessed be Your Name, with a holy flame; that I may pour out my entire heart before You through the words of my mouth; and that I may thereby weaken the power of the evil inclination (the final letters of שלהבת קודש «holy flame» form the word תש «tash» (to weaken)), so that it will have no power to harm me or obstruct me. May I merit to remain always in the holy flame that burns for You and never goes out. Full of mercy, behold Zion, the city of our appointed gatherings; may Your eyes behold Jerusalem. In Your mercy, remember Your holy city and return to it with compassion. Please, in accordance with Your will, bestow goodness upon Zion and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Awaken the merit of King Solomon, son of David, who built the Temple for You; may the supernal mercies before You be aroused, and may You rebuild the Temple of our holiness and glory. Please remove and abolish all arrogance and haughtiness from the world, for they hold back our redemption and the salvation of our souls, as Your holy Sages revealed to us: the son of David (Mashiach) will not come until arrogance disappears from the world. In opposition to this, awaken for us the merit of Rabbeinu ha-Kadosh, Rabbi Yehudah ha-Nasi, in whose time there were humility and fear of sin. May King Solomon and Rabbeinu ha-Kadosh, Rabbi Yehudah ha-Nasi, assist us in following their holy path. May we soon merit the coming of our righteous Mashiach and the spread of Your light throughout the entire world. May he awaken all the souls of Israel to You, blessed be Your Name, with mercy and kindness, with joy and a good heart. Amen. Forever, eternally and evermore.)
