The Lights of Purim Katan are Higher than Purim Gadol • A Prayer for Purim Katan

Today, Friday the 14th of Adar I, is Purim Katan (the Minor Purim). It is brought in the holy books that in its inner essence, Purim Katan is even higher than Purim Gadol (the Great Purim). Before you is a prayer written by Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a regarding the greatness of this awesome day—Purim Katan:

To merit to receive the lights of Purim Katan which are higher than Purim Gadol, and may we merit that the True Tzaddik be revealed to us in all his splendor and beauty, and to be included in the Nukva de-Pardashka (a Kabbalistic concept referring to the spiritual source of the breath of life)

Master of the Universe, merit me in the merit of Parshat Tetzaveh (the weekly Torah portion), which concludes with "When he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it as incense," merit me to receive the lights of Purim Katan in the first Adar. For according to the opinion of Rabbi Eliezer ben Rabbi Yose, the primary [celebration] is in the first Adar, and then the Megillah (the Scroll of Esther) is read and gifts are given to the poor (matanot l'evyonim). For Purim Katan is much greater than Purim Gadol, since it already occurs in the first Adar, being close to the month of Shevat—the secret of the acronym Tafat Bat Shlomo (Tafat the daughter of King Solomon), in whose time the rain would drip throughout the year and all her prayers were accepted. For the secret of the first Adar is to bring the soul of Mashiach ben David (the Messiah from the Davidic line) in the blink of an eye; for Adar (אדר) is the numerical value (Gematria) of "Tzaddik" (צדיק) with the kolel (the addition of the word itself as one) {205}. For in Adar, the True Tzaddik is revealed in all his splendor and beauty, and through him, we are included in the Nukva de-Pardashka (the spiritual "nostrils" of the Divine countenance), from where the soul of Mashiach ben David is drawn.
