Hoshanot for Hoshana Rabba

Please save!

For Your sake, our God, please save;

for Your sake, our Creator, please save;

for Your sake, our Redeemer, please save;

for Your sake, our Seeker, please save!

For the sake of Your truth; for the sake of Your covenant; for the sake of Your greatness and harmony; for the sake of Your doctrine; for the sake of Your majesty; for the sake of Your assembly; for the sake of Your mention; for the sake of Your kindness; for the sake of Your goodness; for the sake of Your unity; for the sake of Your glory; for the sake of Your teaching; for the sake of Your kingdom; for the sake of Your eternity; for the sake of Your secret; for the sake of Your might; for the sake of Your splendor; for the sake of Your righteousness; for the sake of Your holiness; for the sake of Your great mercy; for the sake of Your Divine Presence, please save! For the sake of Your praise, please save!

For I have said, "The world is built by love" (Psalms 89:3).

Foundation stone, chosen house, threshing floor of Ornan, hidden sanctuary, Mount Moriah, Mount of He is Seen, palace of Your splendor, residence of David, goodly ridge, beautifully placed, joy of all the earth, most beautiful bride, resting place of justice, place of Your dwelling, tranquil habitation, complete sukkah, pilgrimage of the tribes, precious corner, excellent Zion, holy of holies, inlaid with love, dwelling place of Your glory - please save! Hill of magnificence, please save!

Yours is an arm endowed with might; Your hand is strong; Your right arm, exalted (Psalms 89:14).

The nation - 'I am a wall,' bright as the sun, exiled and turned away, compared to a date palm, the one killed for You and considered like sheep for slaughter; scattered among its angerers, hugging and clinging to You, seeking Your yoke, alone to unify You, trampled in the exile, studying Your awe, pulled of cheek, given to be paupers, bearing Your burden, ship in a storm, redeemed of Tuviah (Moses), holy sheep, congregations of Jacob, marked with Your name - roar, "Please save!" [They are] dependent upon You, please save!

You will give truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham (Micah 7:20).

The Master who brings salvation - without You there is no salvation, mighty One and great in saving, 'I became indigent and He will bring me salvation,' the saving God who rescues and brings salvation - bring salvation to those who cry to You; bring salvation to those that wait for You, to satiate your sheep, to give produce bountifully, make every shrub grow, and bring salvation. Do not do bad to the valley - sweeten the delicacies and bring salvation, to carry the clouds, to move the rains. Restrain the clouds, open the hand and satiate - satiate Your thirsty ones. Bring salvation to those that call to You, bring salvation to the ones You pity, bring salvation to the ones who seek You, please save! Bring salvation to Your blameless ones, please save!

In your right arm are pleasures for evermore (Psalms 16:11).

Man and beast - flesh and spirit and soul; tendon, bone and membrane; appearance and image and mesh; 'majesty compared to a breath' - 'and he is like the beasts that perish' - radiance, form and stature. [Effect] the renewal of the face of the ground, the planting of desolate trees, wine-presses and grain, vineyards and sycamores for marked ground, strong rains for healing - invigorating the despoiled - raising plants, strengthening delicacies, establishing flowers, raining [on] vegetation, flowing cold waters, dressing drops, raising drink - please save. [It is] suspended over emptiness, please save.

O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name throughout the earth, You who have covered the heavens with Your splendor (Psalms 8:2).

The ground from malediction, beasts from miscarriage, the threshing floor from locusts and food from confusion; olive trees from shedding, wheat from grasshoppers, fare from insects, wine vats from locusts, vineyards from worms, aftergrowth from grasshoppers, delights from locusts, life from confusion, satiation from insects, flocks from poverty, cows from blight, sheep from destruction, harvest from curse, plentitude from gauntness, stalks from parchedness - please save! The produce from locusts, please save!

The Lord is beneficent in all His ways and faithful in all His works (Psalms 145:17).

For the sake of the great one thrown into the heart of the fire, for the sake of the son bound upon woods and fire, for the sake of the strong one who fought with a prince of fire, for the sake of the formations that You led with a pyre and a cloud of fire, for the sake of the one who was brought up to the heights and went up like the angels of fire, for the sake of the one who was for You like an assistant among the angels of fire, for the sake of the gift of the statements that were given in fire, for the sake of that which was covered by curtains and a cloud of fire, for the sake of the ceremony of the mountain upon which You came down in fire, for the sake of the friendship of the House that You loved beyond the Heavens of fire, for the sake of the one who yearned until the setting of the fire, for the sake of the one who took a pan of fire and removed the anger of fire, for the sake of the one zealous with a great zealotry of fire, for the sake of the one who waved his hand and came down stones of fire, for the sake of the one who made the nursing lamb be consumed with fire, for the sake of the one who stood in the threshing floor and was answered with fire, for the sake of the one who prayed in the courtyard and down came the fire, for the sake of the messenger that arose and was carried up by a chariot and horses of fire, for the sake of the holy ones that were flung into the fire, for the sake of the one who saw myriads and myriads and rivers of fire, for the sake of the desolation of Your city that was burnt down with fire - please save! For the sake of of the offspring of the clans of Judah who You will make like a brazier of fire, please save!

Yours, Lord, are greatness, might, splendor, triumph, and majesty, for all that is in heaven and on earth [is Yours] ; to You, Lord, belong kingship and preeminence above all (I Chronicles 29:11). And the Lord shall be king over all the earth; on that day the Lord shall be One, and his name One (Zechariah 14:9). And it is written in Your Torah, saying (Deuteronomy 6:4), "Hear Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One" - blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom forever and ever.

Ani Vaho, please bring salvation!

Like You saved the great ones in Lud (the son of Mitzrayim, Egypt's namesake) with You, when You went out to save Your people, so too please save!

Like You saved [with] the statement (Exodus 6:6), "and I will take you (etchem)," [but] it is designated, 'and I will go out with you (itchem),' so too please save! Like You saved the ones that went around the altar, loaded with the willow to circle the altar, so too please save! Like You saved the wonders of the ark when it was sullied - He distraught Philistia with burning anger and it was saved - so too please save! Like You saved the congregations You sent to Babylonia - Merciful One, You [too] were sent for their sake - so too please save! You saved the return of the tribes of Jacob - return and bring back the return of the tents of Jacob and, so too, please save! Like You saved the keepers of the commandments and those awaiting salvations - You are the 'God of salvations' - so, so too please bring salvation!

Ani Vaho, please save!

Deliver and bless Your people; tend them and sustain them forever (Psalms 28:9). And may these words of mine, which I have offered in supplication before the Lord, be close to the Lord our God day and night, that He may provide for His servant and for His people Israel, according to each day’s needs. In order that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord alone is God, there is no other (I Kings 8:59-60).

We remove the rings around the lulav before the hoshanot.

(The congregation repeats three times:) The voice of the herald proclaims and says.

Deliver and bless Your people; tend them and sustain them forever (Psalms 28:9). And may these words of mine, which I have offered in supplication before the Lord, be close to the Lord our God day and night, that He may provide for His servant and for His people Israel, according to each day’s needs. In order that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord alone is God, there is no other (I Kings 8:59-60).

The prayer leader says Kaddish Titkabal. And then he puts down the lulav from his hand and they take the Hoshanot and pound them. One should pound the willow specifically on earth, as explained in the holy Zohar. And there should be five willow branches - no more and no less. And he should only pound them five times - no more and no less.

And after pounding the willow, he should say this supplication:

May it be Your will in front of You, Lord G0d, and God of our fathers, who chooses good prophets and their customs - that you accept our prayers and our circles (hakafot) with mercy and desire. And remember for us the merit of Your seven pure ones, and remove the iron curtain that separates between You and us. And pay heed to our prayers and make good the sealing for us - suspend the earth over the emptiness - and seal us in the book of goodly life. And upon this day, give to Your mighty Presence five restrictions (gevurot) sweetened by the pounding of the willow, the custom of Your holy prophets; and arouse love among them and let them be kissed with the kisses of Your mouth, which sweetens all the restrictions and all of the judgements. And shine upon Your mighty Presence with the name (Yod hay vav), which is dew of lights, Your dew. And from there, bring the flow to Your servant who is praying (x, the son/daughter of y) in front of You (forgiveness), that You will lengthen his/her days and forgive him/her for all of his/her sins, iniquities and rebellions; and stretch forth Your right arm and Your hand to accept me with full repentance in front of You. And open Your goodly storehouse, to satiate water for the parched soul, as it is written (Deuteronomy 28:12), "The Lord will open for you His goodly storehouse, the heavens, to provide rain for your land in its season and to bless all your undertakings." Amen.
