Prayer for the Molad (New Moon) of the Month of Iyar 5786

By the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

Friday, 5:57, 14 chalakim (parts), 3 minutes before 6:00 AM, 10 minutes before sunrise.

Master of the Universe, the Omnipotent One from whom no purpose can be withheld, at the exact moment of the Molad—5:57, 14 chalakim, 3 minutes before 6:00 AM, 10 minutes before sunrise—may all the gates of Heaven be opened. As we say in every Maariv (evening prayer): "With wisdom He opens the gates, and with understanding He alters the times, changes the seasons, and arranges the stars in their watches in the sky according to His will."

Just as it was with Avraham, to whom Hashem said, "Avram does not beget children, but Avraham will beget children," and "Who awakened the sun from the east?"—shifting the planet Tzedek (Jupiter) from the east to the west.

So too, at every Molad, Hashem moves the stars in their watches in the sky according to His will, and changes the mazalos (constellations/destinies).

Therefore, at the moment of the Molad, each and every person can merit immense wealth, to emerge from all their debts, and to receive a ten-room apartment worth 10 million that will suffice for them for all generations until Mashiach and the Resurrection of the Dead.

And the most essential point is that it is possible to accomplish all of this specifically at the Molad of Iyar, which is an acronym for "Oyvai Yashuvu Yevoshu Raga" (My enemies will return and be shamed in an instant) and "Ani Hashem Rofecha" (I am Hashem your Healer). One can be completely healed at the Molad of Iyar from all illnesses, all ailments, and all pains. All barren women will be blessed with children at the moment of the Molad of Iyar, and all pregnant women will give birth with the utmost ease, like an arrow from a bow. All grooms and brides will find their destined match, who will jump to them in the blink of an eye—just as Rivka jumped to Yitzchak within an hour from a distance of 1,000 kilometers, from Charan to Chevron. So too, all shidduchim (marriage matches) will be made and will succeed right now at the time of the Molad of Iyar, when the Manna descended along with diamonds and precious stones: "Odem, Pitdah, Barekes; Nofech, Sapir, Yahalom; Leshem, Shvo, Achlamah; Tarshish, Shoham, Yashfeh" (the twelve precious stones of the High Priest's Breastplate).

And in the merit of Lag BaOmer and in the merit of Rashbi (Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai)—all of which occur in the month of Iyar—may all the gates of wisdom and knowledge be opened. May each and every man and woman merit the Fifty Gates of Understanding and the Thirty-Two Paths of Wisdom.
