From "Entering the Light"
Master of the Universe! Help us in
Your great mercy to fulfill the mitzvah of lighting the Chanukah candles in its
proper time, in a perfect manner, in a spirit of holiness and purity, and with
intense concentration. May we be privileged to perform these tikkunim, which
we have mentioned before You, through the mitzvah of the Chanukah candles; and
may our fulfillment of this mitzvah be considered in Your sight as if we had
done so according to all of its details, fine points, and kavannot (intentions),
as well as the complete structure of 613 mitzvot that depend
upon it.
May the light of the holiness of
our mitzvot shine before You, throughout all the worlds! By
performing this mitzvah may we perfect all of the worlds entirely, as well as
through our performance of all the mitzvot, scriptural and
rabbinic.
Let us perform them all in love and awe and
with great joy, to the highest degree of perfection, until we succeed in
eliciting peace from You and transmitting it to all of the worlds, in
fulfillment of the verse, “God will give strength to His people, God will bless
His people with peace.”[1]
May the One Who makes peace in His heights
mercifully confer peace upon us and upon all Israel, amen! [2]
(LT I, 14)
[1] Psalms 29:11.
[2] Liturgy, Kaddish.
