Prayer for Parashat Vayera – In the Merit of the Akeida, May We Merit to Forgiveness for Sins – Rabbi Eliezer Berland Shlit”a
TO MERIT THROUGH THE MERIT AND STRENGTH OF THE AKEIDA (THE BINDING OF YITZCHAK) TO FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND TO BE INCLUDED IN AVRAHAM AND YITZCHAK AND TO AROUSE SUPERNAL MERCY “PARASHAT VAYERA” Ribbono Shel Olam – Master of the World, Who can do everything, in the merit of the Akeida, that Avraham bound Yitzchak, about which the Gemara says in Shabbat 89b that only in the merit of the Akeida will the redemption come and will Hashem pardon for us all the sins of Israel in awesome completeness. For through the Akeida, that Avraham bound Yitzchak, all the Partzufim (Divine personas) were unified from the head – Adam Kadmon (Primordial Man) until the end of all levels, in the aspect of all the Partzufim illuminating face-to-face, and the name SaG (יוד הי ואו הי) was revealed in great completeness, and there was the light of the face, in the mystery of the Seven Days, which is the secret of “Hashem said to Avraham, ‘Go for yourself (Lech Lecha)’” = 343, that this is “Shivatayim Shivatayim Shivatayim” (Seven times seven times seven) branches of the Menorah with seven branches, that they anoint with the oil. And all 248 organs of Avraham became united in complete unity with the 248 organs of Yitzchak, and there was a unification face-to-face, and Binah (understanding) descended and became included in Malchut (Kingship) of Tevuna [a lower level of Binah], that came about through the unification of the name of “These are the generations of Yitzchak ben Avraham; Avraham begot Yitzchak.”
