I wanted to wish you and your family and your loved ones an easy fast (if you and/or your family shall be fasting), and to offer my hopes that you and your family and loved ones will be inscribed, sealed, and bound for a good, happy, healthy, easy, love-filled, auspicious, and pleasant life, now and for all the years to come. I pray that the gates of Heaven will swing open wide to hear the prayers of all those here on earth, that the prayers will ascend to the Heavenly Court, and that mercy, love, grace, loving-kindness, patience, joy, and peace will come from Above now and throughout the year.
May the Heavenly Court Above so decree that Israel’s hand be strengthened, her enemies thwarted and defeated, her children protected and defended and befriended. May tears be tears of happiness, and may the time of the Redemption come swfitly, soon, even now. As the Gates of Heaven are open, I pray that the
covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be remembered, and in the merit of the Fathers and Mothers and righteous Jews and those who sanctified the Name, may mercy and love come before the Face of the Above and may they temper the Above to act with mercy and love throughout this year and not with anger or punishment (may Heaven not permit this!).
For anything I may have said or done to offend or bother you, I pray you will forgive me. To no one I bear any malice, ill-will, or grudge: if anyone has tried to offend me, they are forgiven and shall be in the future in advance already forgiven, for mercy is the supreme attribute of the Above’s supreme creation.
