Letter 252

[Prayer]

"Master of the world — Who revives the dead — have mercy upon us and revive us and raise us up and sanctify us and purify us from the impurity of the dead. Which is the father of all fathers of impurity — which is the thoughts of licentiousness that have greatly intensified and spread in the world. Until we have sunk in the miry clay where there is no standing — we have come into deep waters — and the flood has swept over us. Grant us merit through the power of the holiness of Purim — that we merit to receive and to draw down upon us the holiness and purity of the perfect Red Cow — which is the aspect of the illumination of the true Tzadik — to truly purify us from the impurity of the dead. And help us and save us to fulfill the commandments of Purim with great holiness and with very great joy. Until we merit through this to truly be careful about even the slightest bit of leaven on Passover. And to fulfill all the most awesome commandments of Passover with great holiness and most awesome and immense joy. And let me merit — through the power of the true Tzadik — to banish and to nullify from me and from all of Israel the klipa of Haman-Amalek — may his name be blotted out. And to draw down the holiness of the miracle and the salvation of Purim. And have mercy upon us in every generation and generation."
