Prayer for Unity

Please Hashem may there be no more mourning Tisha B'av but just full of joy.

Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz

Master of the Universe
We come before You
with a broken heart
and a scattered sense of self
Please heal us
Please reunify us
Please return us
to our city
of complete -seeing
Yerushalayim,
so that we can be
whole again,
so that
we can harmonize together
all that is disconected so that
we can attach ourselves and all that is
temporal in our lives,
all that is mediocre and stuck
and petty
in our lives
to
all that is infinite all that is supernatural all that is eternal
and all that is Divine
Return us to all this
through the unifying power of Jerusalem---
the upper , heavenly Jerusalem
together with the lower
earthly Jerusalem

Reveal to us
the total beauty that Jerusalem contains
the essence of beauty
The beauty of
The song of the Levites
Then song that melted and transformed
the hearts of all who heard it
The beauty of the Divine Service and
the wisdom and the Prophecy
that could be tangibly felt and
tasted nowhere else like in Jerusalem


Dear Creator of the Universe and
of all mankind,
Return to us the ability to live the daily
miracles of Jerusalem
and the tangible revelation of
Your Holy Prescence
Usher us into the time that
all of Your Prophets spoke about
where all people will
look to Jerusalem for their
physical and
spiritual wellbeing
for it's supernal light to banish all of their
various forms of darkness
for it's healing to heal their bodies and souls
for it's concentration of Divine Prescence
to serve as the focal point
of everyone's motivation and occupation
---an occupation that will no longer
be concerned with
so much with survival and money,
but rather with
knowing You
and knowing that there is
nothing else besides You

May it be your will
that the words of our mouths
and the meditations of our hearts
find favor in Your eyes
our G-d
our Rock
and our redeemer

Amen
