The advice, though, is "I groan my groan, I wail my wail" — Hashem understands what a sigh of a Jewish heart means, a tear from a Jew's eye. This is only if one conducts himself with holiness, but with the power of Shabbos, which imparts holiness upon Jews, one merits this as well. He continued at length with tears, that Hashem should help that it should be "Hashem will establish you as a holy people to Himself," that it should not be possible to do evil to the holy chinuch of sons and daughters. "Hashem will establish you as a holy people to Himself" is a promise that Jews will remain a holy nation and will not change anything, not even the slightest bit, even when it is difficult. He concluded with abundant blessings that the year and its curses should end and the year and its blessings begin, and with a good inscription and sealing for all of Klal Yisroel.
