Day 44 of the Omer

עֲלִיַּת הַנְּשָׁמָה הִיא שָׁלֹשׁ פְּעָמִים בְּכָל יוֹם בְּהַג' תְּפִלוֹת

The soul ascends three times a day, during each of the three prayer services.

וּבִפְרָט נִשְׁמַת הַצַּדִּיקִים דְּיֵלְכוּ מֵחַיִל אֶל חָיִל

This is especially true of the souls of tzaddikim, of whom it is said, “They proceed from strength to strength.”

וְדָבָר וַדַּאַי

It is certain

אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל עֵת וּבְכָל מָקוֹם קָדוֹשׁ הֱיוֹתָם

that at all times and in every holy place they may be,

נוֹשְׂאִים רִנָּה וּתְפִלָּה

they offer supplication and prayer

בְּעַד הַמְקוּשָּׁרִים אֲלֵיהֶם וְאֶל פְּקוּדָּתָם וְשׁוֹמְרִים פִּקּוּדֵיהֶם

for those who are bound to them and to their directives, and to those who carry out their directives —

וּבִפְרָט בְּעַד תַּלְמִידֵיהֶם וְתַלְמִידֵי תַלְמִידֵיהֶם

especially their students and their students’ students —

לְהִוָּשֵׁעַ בְּגַשְׁמִיּוּת וּבְרוּחָנִיּוּת

that they be delivered materially and spiritually.
