A Prayer to Merit the Cancellation of the Draft Decree from Yeshiva Students and That I Will Always See Hashem Before My Eyes and Not...

Cancellation of the Draft Decree on Yeshiva Students

Master of the Universe, Almighty, cancel the draft decree from upon Your nation, the House of Israel, from all the Yeshiva students. May they merit to learn constantly, day and night, without a second's interruption, and to see the Name of Hashem before their eyes, day and night, without a second's interruption. And may I merit to see the combination of the Name Havayah—Yud-Kei-Vav-Kei—before my eyes every single moment and second. And may I not stumble in any evil thought, nor in any nocturnal emission, neither inadvertently nor intentionally, neither by force nor by will. And may I know Tractate Yevamos by heart, word for word, letter for letter, and may I only learn Gemara 24 hours a day without a moment or second's interruption. And may I not take my eyes off the letters of the holy and awesome books, which are the Torah of Hashem, mouth to mouth, and may I merit the Torah of Hashem, mouth to mouth. And may I not have even a trace of arrogance. And may I nullify myself to everyone, to each and every Jew, with the ultimate nullification, and may there not be found in me or in my offspring any opposition to any Jew in the world, and may I completely nullify myself to every Jew who puts on tefillin and keeps kosher and Shabbos. And may I always wait six hours, whether after eating poultry or beef—six hours until drinking milk. And may I be strong and courageous, like Shimshon the hero 696, whose heroism was drawn from the Atik Yomin (the Ancient of Days) 696. And may I always be filled with awe, trembling, fear, and reverence, and through this, may I merit to always pray with intention, word for word, and through this, may the army have no dominion over me whatsoever. And may I be completely nullified from existence, and merit to be seeing but unseen, and be completely nullified from the physical reality of the body, fulfilling what is said: "He has no bodily form, nor is He a body." And may I merit to be like Moshe Rabbeinu, who "gazes upon the image of Hashem," and whose neck turned to marble, just like the neck of Yaakov when Esav came to bite him and tear out all his vital signs. And just as the necks of Yaakov and Moshe turned to marble, and their enemies had no power over them, so too, may You grant me the merit—in the merit of praying with intention and learning Torah day and night—that no enemy will have any power over me, especially not the army, nor their followers, nor the followers of their followers. And in the merit of being released from the army in the blink of an eye, I will learn Torah day and night 177 without a moment or second's interruption. And may I merit to enter Gan Eden (the Garden of Eden) 177 with my physical body, like Serach the daughter of Asher, Basya the daughter of Pharaoh, Eliezer the servant of Avraham, and Yehoshua ben Levi.
