TIFERET: 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.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING TRUE TO FRIENDS
He who thinks that he is deceiving his friend,
is really deceiving the Creator, since besides
man’s body there is only the Creator. This is
because it is the essence of creation that man is
called “creature” only with respect to himself.
The Creator wants man to feel that he is a separated
reality from Him; but except for that, it
is all “the whole earth is full of His glory.”
Hence, when lying to one’s friend, one
is lying to the Creator; and when saddening
one’s friend, one is saddening the Creator.
For this reason, if one is accustomed to
speak the truth, it will help him with respect
to the Creator.

CONCLUSION OF SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER.
Psalms Chapter 49 תְּהִלִּים
טו כַּצֹּאן, לִשְׁאוֹל שַׁתּוּ– מָוֶת יִרְעֵם:
וַיִּרְדּוּ בָם יְשָׁרִים, לַבֹּקֶר–וצירם (וְצוּרָם), לְבַלּוֹת שְׁאוֹל; מִזְּבֻל לוֹ.
15 Like sheep they are appointed for the nether-world; death shall be their shepherd; {N}
and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form shall be for the nether-world to wear away, that there be no habitation for it.
