KETER: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 4th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot
SECRET OF THE TORAH
Many thought that too much engagement
in the secret is not good, since the practical
Torah would be forgotten from Israel,
the forbidden, the permitted, the nonkosher,
and the kosher. And what shall
become of this Torah had we all delved in
the secrets of the Torah? …Yet, those who
despise it are not servants of the Creator
whatsoever.
-Rav Moshe Cordovero (Ramak), Know the God of Thy Father, 132, Gems of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.

יז וְיָרַדְתִּי, וְדִבַּרְתִּי עִמְּךָ שָׁם, וְאָצַלְתִּי מִן-הָרוּחַ אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיךָ, וְשַׂמְתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם; וְנָשְׂאוּ אִתְּךָ בְּמַשָּׂא הָעָם, וְלֹא-תִשָּׂא אַתָּה לְבַדֶּךָ.
