[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה מ"ב - וַיַּרְא בַּצַּר לָהֶם בְּשָׁמְעוֹ אֶת רִנָּתָם]
שִׁמְעָה אֱלֹהִים רִנָּתִי הַקְשִׁיבָה תְּפִלָּתִי.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*Melody / Sweetening Heavenly Judgments / Singing the Words of Prayer / Faith in the Sages / A Beautiful Garment / Shofar-Blowing on Rosh HaShanah*
With melody, Heavenly judgments against a person are mitigated. The sound of the melody corresponds to the rainbow, which is God’s “eternal covenant” with man. When God sees a rainbow, as it were, “the anger of the King dies down.” This is particularly so when a person sings the words of prayer, which corresponds to that rainbow.
The Tzaddik too corresponds to the rainbow. Thus when we have faith in the sages, when we believe that all their words and deeds are not shallow but contain mysteries, then Heavenly judgments are mitigated as well. Such rectifications are brought about particularly when a person makes a beautiful garment for a Tzaddik. Shofar-blowing on Rosh HaShanah also corresponds to the rainbow, and that mitigates Heavenly judgments as well.
“God, hear my song, listen to my prayer!”

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Have compassion on me. Lead me to pray to You in a voice of joy and song, to sing the words of prayer in a melody so beautiful, pure and clear that it will clothe Your mighty presence in shining garments, so that You will be filled with compassion for Your nation, the Jewish people, and so that, as You look at our suffering, our poverty, our burdens and our oppression — in body, soul and livelihood — You will repeal Your anger at us.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Help me to be aware that all the words and deeds of the sages and true Tzaddikim are not ordinary, but contain secrets. Then I will attain the light of Your presence, and I will be able to remove the garments of darkness — a superficial understanding of the Torah — and replace them with shining garments, which are the secrets of the Torah. In that way, I will sweeten and eliminate all judgments against myself and against Your entire nation, the Jewish people, forever and ever.

Compassionate God, may I hear a worthy, God-fearing person blow the shofar on Rosh HaShanah.

Gaze down in their merit and sweeten and eliminate Your anger at us. Return to us. Shine Your countenance down upon us.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Do so for the sake of Your Name. Do so for the sake of Your right hand. My needs are so many and my mind is too limited to express them all — all those things, great and small, that I need to serve You. There would not be enough days to describe all the obstacles in my path. My entire lifetime would not suffice to pray and plead with You to break down all my obstacles and bring all my potential into actuality.

I know that my sins have kept me far from holiness. I rely on You alone. My eyes turn to You and Your compassion at every moment, at every second. “My eyes are raised to the heights, HaShem. I have been oppressed, be my guarantor.” “Be a guarantor to Your servant for the good; do not let the wicked oppress me!”

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Help me in the merit of the patriarchs and all the true Tzaddikim. I rely only on their merit. I take refuge in them. Although I am far from holiness, in Your compassion, be gracious to me. Sanctify me with Your supernal holiness. Help me soon to attain everything holy, so that I will turn aside completely from evil and perform many mitzvot — learning Torah, praying and performing good deeds every day of my life.

In Your great compassion, teach me which particular mitzvah is connected to the root of my soul. Draw my spirit after that mitzvah connected to my supernal root, so that I will perform it a great deal, constantly, so that in the course of my life I will rectify everything that I have defiled.
