Tonight, Wednesday night, the 30th of Tishrei, the first night of Rosh Chodesh (the New Month) Mar-Cheshvan, at 1:33 AM and 8 chalakim (parts of a minute), the Molad (birth of the new moon) for the month of Mar-Cheshvan 5786 will occur. Before you is a prayer written by the Gaon and Tzaddik Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a (may he live long and good days) for the Molad of the month of Mar-Cheshvan 5786:

With the help of Heaven. For the sake of the unification of the Holy One Blessed be He and His Shechinah (Divine Presence).

Rosh Chodesh, Wednesday, Thursday, and the Molad of Cheshvan

Wednesday night, the Molad at 1:33 AM, 8 chalakim (parts), at Chatzos (midnight)

Master of the Universe, as we reach the Molad (announcement of the new moon) of Cheshvan—whose true name is Mar-Cheshvan, the eighth month—at which time the Third Temple must be built. This is why Jeroboam moved the holiday of Sukkot to the month of Cheshvan, because he wanted to draw down the building of the Third Temple through Sukkot. This is also what Rehoboam meant when he said, "I will chastise you with scorpions (akrabim)," for he wanted to draw the building of the Third Temple to the zodiac sign of Scorpio (Akrav), which is the secret of the Name of 72 (Ayin-Bet): Yud-He-Vav-He. The word "Kar" (cold) is the secret of "A man of understanding is of a cool (kar) spirit." For the month of Cheshvan comes with claims before Hashem, since King Solomon finished the building of the Holy Temple in the month of Bul, which is the month of Cheshvan. Until Solomon's time, every month of Cheshvan a flood (mabul) would descend and wash the dead out of their graves, and they would float in the streets upon the water, until the building of the Holy Temple stopped the flood that occurred year after year. For the month of Cheshvan is capable of stopping all kinds of floods, all kinds of overflows, and all kinds of calamities. For the Rabbi of Rimanov said that the month of Cheshvan is auspicious for all successes and for all kinds of wealth—millions and billions without end or limit. Therefore, Rehoboam said to them, "My father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions (akrabim)," because he wanted to do what Hezekiah did, who drove a sword into the entrance of the study hall and said that anyone who does not study Torah shall be pierced by the sword. They searched from Dan to Beer Sheva and did not find an ignoramus (am ha'aretz) from Gevat to Antipatris, and they could not find a young boy or girl who was not expert in the laws of ritual impurity and purity (Tumah and Taharah). Therefore, Rehoboam the son of Solomon wanted to continue his father's rectifications (tikkunim) and bring the People of Israel to a level where from Dan to Beer Sheva no ignoramus would be found, and from Gevat to Antipatris no boy or girl would be found who did not know the laws of ritual impurity and purity—the first degree of impurity, the second degree, the third degree regarding Terumah (priestly tithes), and the fourth degree of impurity regarding the Most Holy offerings and Lesser Holy offerings, and the laws of the ashes of the Red Heifer (Parah Adumah) unto infinity. Then the Third Holy Temple will be able to be built in its perfection through the study of Torah by all of the People of Israel without exception. Even young boys and girls will be experts in all the laws that pertain to them. Then we will merit the Third Holy Temple in the month of Cheshvan, which is "Sameach-Ron" (Joyful Song) and "Choshen-Mor" (Breastplate-Myrrh), for then we will merit the myrrh and cassia spices of the incense (Ketoret), and the Breastplate (Choshen) of the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) which is set with twelve stones: "Odem, Pitdah, and Bareket; Nofech, Sapir, and Yahalom; Leshem, Shevo, and Achlamah; Tarshish, Shoham, and Yashfeh." These are the stones that came from the Lower Garden of Eden from the Pishon River, as brought in Targum Yonatan: "And the princes brought the stones of the Breastplate." And this is our prayer now at the time of the holy Molad, when all the gates of Heaven and all the gates of Mercy are opened. Let us all now request the building of the Third Temple, that it may be built in the sign of Scorpio (Akrav), and for the renewal of the Breastplate (Choshen) and the Urim V'Tumim (Divine Oracle) which will be renewed in the Third Temple.
