Prayer Before Walking Through Damascus Gate and Forgiveness of Sins

Master of the Universe, the Almighty, from whom no purpose can be withheld, please help us so that we never leave the Yeshiva between the walls facing the Holy of Holies, and may we, our children, and our children's children always walk through Damascus Gate (Shaar Shechem) until the end of all generations. May we not fear anything, and may we elevate all fallen fears back to their root in the letters Mantzephach (the five final Hebrew letters representing the root of holy awe). May we not fear anything, and may we have no fear whatsoever of any flesh and blood, nor of any Nazi or terrorist, may their names be erased.

Please, Merciful and Gracious One, Almighty, Strongest of all the strong, Victor over all victors, please help us so that at the moment we walk through Damascus Gate, we accept upon ourselves stoning, burning, beheading, and strangulation—all four death penalties of the Rabbinical Court (Beis Din). Through this, may all our sins be atoned for. By accepting stoning upon ourselves, may we be forgiven for all the blemishes we caused in the letter Yod of Your holy and awesome Name Y-H-V-H (Havayah), and in the letter Aleph of Your great and holy Name A-H-Y-H (Eheyeh), and in the letter Aleph of Your great and holy Name A-D-N-Y (Adonai). May our walking through Damascus Gate be considered for us as if we were stoned with all types of stoning in the world, and through this, may the letters Yod-Aleph-Aleph within Your three holy Names—Y-H-V-H, A-H-Y-H, A-D-N-Y—be rectified.

Master of the Universe, at the moment we walk through Damascus Gate, may all our terrible sins be atoned for—those we caused by boiling our blood in vain for the service of the Sitra Achra (forces of impurity), and for all the boiling of blood that burned within us for forbidden things from the day we reached the age of understanding until now. Now, we accept upon ourselves, in exchange for all the forbidden boiling of blood, burning with all types of burning that have existed since the days of the world. Through this, may the letters be unified, and may the letters Hey-Hey-Dalet of Your holy Names—Y-H-V-H, A-H-Y-H, A-D-N-Y—be rectified.

Master of the Universe, since we have pierced all our friends, our fathers, and our mothers, constantly with words like sword thrusts, therefore we accept upon ourselves now, as we pass through Damascus Gate, all types of sword thrusts that have existed since the days of the world. Through this, may the letters Vav-Yod-Nun within Your three holy and awesome Names—Y-H-V-H, A-H-Y-H, A-D-N-Y—be rectified. Please, Merciful and Gracious One, grace us with a free gift, and atone for us for all the strangulation and choking we caused by causing sorrow to our fathers, our mothers, and all our friends, and for all the suffocation we caused to the holy Shechinah (Divine Presence). Now, at the moment we pass through Damascus Gate among murderers and terrorists, let it be as if we were strangled with all types of strangulation in the world. Through this, may the letters Hey-Hey-Yod of Your three holy and awesome Names—Y-H-V-H, A-H-Y-H, A-D-N-Y—be rectified. And now that we have accepted upon ourselves all four death penalties of the Rabbinical Court—which are all types of stoning in the world, all types of beheading in the world, and all types of strangulation in the world—from now on, help us, our children, and our children's children forever, that we may always pass through Damascus Gate without any fear or dread whatsoever of flesh and blood. "I will not fear the myriads of people who have set themselves against me all around. Arise, Hashem; save me, my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheek; You have broken the teeth of the wicked. Salvation belongs to Hashem; Your blessing be upon Your people, Selah."
