A prayer for our return home; Rabbi Yitzchak Schwartz

Our Merciful father
We grieve for all that we have lost
We grieve, but with a grieving
that is full of trust and hope---
a trust that our grieving will be
transformed into pure joy---
a joy that comes when our prayers our answered and
our dreams are fulfilled

But most important, Hashem
We yearn for your Prescence
here on earth
in the Place that
You have chosen to Dwell
from time immemorial

Bring us all home Dear Lord,
Bring us all back home to Jerusalem
to the place that we have
never stopped loving and longing for
in every prayer
in every major event
of our lives

Return us to the Jerusalem
that shines in her full glory
to the Jerusalem of today
that is being transformed
into the ultimate Jerusalem
of tomorrow
with her Prophets
and her Scholars
and her Priests
and her Mashiach
and her Holy Temple
all shining forth
with the brightest
of Divine Light
a light that lights up
all the darknesses
of the entire world

Bring us home
our G-d and G-d of our fathers
Bring us back
to the home of our youth
bring us to a home where we know
that all that really counts is
to be with You
in all ways always

Bring us Home
to ourselves
to our fully expressed
fully blossomed
glorious selves
Open up the wellsprings of
Jerusalem
inside of our hearts and souls

for all this
and more than we
can express
we ask you, Dear G-d
to bring us home!!

A prayer for accessing the unification consciousness of Jerusalem

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


all the best
may we all be comforted and live to see the great day
when Jerusalem will ber rebuilt in all of her splendour and glory. yitzchak
