May it be Your will... that if I, Your
servant, am from the tribe of ___ whose section of the Nasi I have read
today in Your Torah, may all the holy sparks and holy illuminations
that are included within the holiness of this tribe shine upon me, to
grant me understanding and intelligence in Your Torah and my awe of You,
to do Your will all the days of my life....
- Prayer recited after reading the "Nasi of the Day" on the first 13 days of Nissan
