There is no other.

May it be Your will, LORD our God, God of our ancestors, who chooses good prophets, and their good customs – to receive our prayers and our circlings with compassion and favor. Remember for us the merit of Your seven perfect ones, and remove the wall of iron that separates us from You, and hear our pleas, and to seal us a good judgment – You who suspends the world over nothingness. And seal us in the book of good life.

On this day, invest Your mighty Presence with the five sweetened powers – by means of the beating of the willows, the custom of Your holy prophets – and let love be awakened among them. Kiss us with the kisses of Your mouth, which sweetens all might and all judgments. Shine light upon Your mighty Presence, by the name *Yod-*Heh-Vav, which is the dew that is a dew of light. And from that place, emanate plenty to Your servant, who prays here before You; lengthen his life and forgive him his sins and iniquities and rebellions. And extend Your hand, Your right hand, to receive him in full repentance before You. Open Your treasury of good, to satisfy the yearning soul with water, as it is written, “The LORD will open His good treasury for You, open the heavens, to grant your land its rain in its right time, and to bless all the work of your hands:” Amen.
