The 16th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

OPENING OF THE STANDING PRAYER: offering of 3 descents before the Amidah.

Blessed are You, Adonai ….

TEFILLAH תפילה: TOIL OF THE HEART

PRAYER FOR GOD TO ACCEPT MY PRAYER: WAY TO JUDGE MYSELF

To think of my remoteness from God

To entreat alliance of The Light

To judge & scrutinize my failure to connect

To intercede my egoistic intention with altruistic

FOR UNITY, PURIFICATION OF SOUL, AND ADHESION WITH THE CREATOR, OUR GOD.

CLOSING OF THE STANDING PRAYER: In gratitude for 7 ascents after The Amidah

Blessed are You, Adonai …
