The Prayer "Eloka DeMeir Aneni"

The Prayer "Eloka DeMeir Aneni" In the book "Tabur HaAretz" (Navel of the Earth) it is written: "Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes was called Rabbi Meir the Tanna. And he was called 'Baal HaNes' (the Miracle Worker) because, in his merit, one can pray for great miracles." The mekubalim teach that in the prayer "Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes"Rabbi Meir did not mean himself, but the Holy One, Blessed Be He: "Elokim she-Meir la-Aretz u-le-Darim Aleha be-Rachamim" - (G-d, who illuminates (meir) the earth and all who dwell upon it through His mercy). The gematria of the phrase: אלהא דמאיר ענני - "Eloka DeMeir Aneni" = 472, and this is the gematria of the word נדיבות - "nedivut" (generosity). Rabbi Meir generously dispenses miracles - one only needs to pray in the merit of the tzadik with proper intent (kavanah). Rabbi Menachem Azarya of Fano writes that if a person wants to take on a vow (neder), he should say: "Eloka DeMeir Aneni"!   Tzedakah in Honor of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes 1) When a person sets out on a journey, let him set aside some money and say: "When I arrive at such-and-such a place, I will, without making a formal vow (bli neder), give this sum to charity for the elevation of the soul of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes." (Kaf HaChaim, 110:24,27) 2) It is customary to light a candle and give tzedakah for the elevation of the soul of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes. ("Naton Titen," 10) 3) When the Rebbe "Baal Ateret Tzvi" - Rabbi Tzvi of Zhidichov was in his final agony, he instructed that tzedakah be given for the elevation of the soul of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes, and said that Rabbi Meir accounts for the minority - for indeed, the majority die after such agony and only a minority survive - and therefore he wanted Meir to protect him so that he would merit recovery. He also said in the name of his father that likewise, in the case of many sins, one gives money to charity in honor of Rabbi Meir Baal HaNes, who accounts for the minority, and he will protect such people even with the minimum of their merits. (The Tzadik of Munkatch, Divrei Torah 1:9) 4) A pregnant woman should, before lighting the Shabbat and holiday candles, put an additional 18 coins into the Rabbi Meir the Miracle Worker charity box. (Igrot Kodesh 5, p. 327)

Behold, I give this sum to charity (or: oil for lighting; or: candles for the synagogue) in memory of the souls of our forefathers, the fathers of the world - Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yaakov - in memory of the soul of the teacher and miracle worker Rabbi Meir, and in memory of the souls of all the tzadikim. May it be Your will, L-rd our G-d and G-d of our fathers, that just as You heard their prayers and performed for them miracles and wonders, openly and hiddenly, saved them from all trouble and distress, and brought them out from darkness into light; Just as You heard the prayer of Your servant Meir and performed for him miracles and wonders - so too, in a moment of Your mercy and at a time of Your favor, perform for me as well (name of the one praying) and for all Your people Israel, miracles and wonders, openly and hiddenly, and save us from all trouble and distress from now and forever. (In a prayer for the sick, add: Including sending complete recovery for…) (If seeking favor in the eyes of an important person, add: And may the Holy One, Blessed Be He, grant me favor, kindness, and mercy in the eyes of all who see me, and especially in the eyes of the master….) (If seeking rescue from trouble or slander, say: Just as You upset the plan of the wicked Haman, so too break and destroy the plan of my informer…) May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable before You, L-rd, my Rock and my Redeemer."   (from the book "Tehillim-Segulot," published by "Shorashim")
