Prayer Before Entering a New Home
Master of the Universe, before I enter this new home—the secret of the "point in its palace" (nekudah b'heichaleih)—may my home embody the secret of the Holy of Holies. May we sweeten every judgment in the world there. May I merit, in the merit of the "point in its palace"—which is the secret of the dot inside the letter Bet of Bereishit (In the beginning)—to nullify and sweeten every judgment in the world. And thus, to draw down infinite mercy from the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy that were revealed to Moshe in the cleft of the rock.
And now that I am entering this new and awesome home, whose holiness is like the holiness of the Holy Temple and the holiness of the Holy of Holies, grant me the merit to see Eliyahu 52 HaNavi 68 Zachur 233 LaTov 47 (Elijah the Prophet, remembered for good) face to face. And to merit the intellect 350 of our holy 415 and awesome 268 Rebbe 268, Rebbe 268 Nachman 148 ben 52 Simcha 353 ben 52 Feige 94 = 2660.
And through this, may I merit the fulfillment of the verse: "And for all 86 the strong 125 hand 19, and for all 86 the great 48 awe 252, which 501 Moshe 345 performed 375 before the eyes 170 of all 50 Israel 541" [Deuteronomy 34:12]. And in this merit, may we attain the holiness of the altar 62, and to surrender our souls with mesiras nefesh (self-sacrifice) for the sanctification of Hashem's Name = 2660.
