Prayer for Deliverance from Sinat Chinam

Prayer for Deliverance from Sinat Chinam

This prayer was composed by the great Mekubal—Baal Hasagah (the one who attains), Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Be'eri—הרב שלמה יהודה בארי This prayer should be recited daily. It is the primary Tikkun of our generation: to pray for deliverance from Sinat Chinam—the cause of the destruction of both Temples—and a means of bringing the Geulah closer. It expresses the essence of the principal challenges facing our people. The rabbi says that it is precisely through unity and love for every Jew that we will merit the complete Geulah. Whoever recites this prayer daily will always have blessing upon him and his entire family! It is best to recite the prayer in Hebrew or in transliteration. If even this is difficult, read it in translation and then move on to Hebrew.   תְּפֵלָה לְאַחְדוּת וְאַהֲבַת יִשְׂרָאֵל רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, אֲבִי אָב הֲרַחֲמָן, מָלֵא רַחֲמִים, חוּס וְחָמוֹל עָלַי, וְזַכֵּנִי לֶאֱהֹב כָּל יְהוּדִי, בְּעַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל וְזַכֵּנִי לְאַהֲבָה עֲצוּמָה לְכָל עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל, וַעֲשֵׂה בְּרַחֲמֶיךָ שֶׁתִּתְרַבֶּה אַהֲבַת חִנָּם, וְהַצִּילֶנּוּ מִשִּׂנְאַת חִנָּם. אָנָּא אֵל רַחְמָן, מָלֵא רַחֲמִים, הַצִּילֵנִי מִקִּנְאָה וְשִׂנְאָה וְתַחֲרוּת, וְזַכֵּנִי לְכַוֵּן דַּעְתִּי לָאֱמֶת לַאֲמִתָּהּ, וְזַכֵּנִי לְאֱמוּנַת חֲכָמִים. אָמֵן נֶצַח סֶלָה וְעַד. מאת הרב שלמה יהודה Tefilah le-Ahdut ve-Ahavat Yisrael Ribono shel Olam, Avi, Av ha-Rachaman, Malei Rachamim, hus ve-hamol alai, ve-zakeini le'ehov kol Yehudi be-amkha Yisrael, ve-zakeini le-ahavah atzumah le-khol amkha Yisrael, ve-aseh be-rahamekha she-titrabeh ahavat hinam, ve-hatzileinu mi-sin'at hinam.

Translation Master of the Universe, my Father, my compassionate Father, full of mercy, please have compassion and mercy upon me, and grant me the privilege of loving every Jew among Your people Israel, and of having boundless love for all Your people Israel. In Your great mercy, cause selfless love to increase, and save us from baseless hatred. Merciful G-d, full of compassion, save me from envy, hatred, and rivalry, and grant me the merit before You that my thoughts may be directed toward attaining the ultimate truth, and grant me strong faith in the Sages. May this always be so, forever, until the end of days! Amen! (With gratitude to Michael Kalmanovich and his son for the material)
