BINAH: 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 WONDER OF STUDYING THE SECRET OF TORAH

One of the wonders of studying the secrets of
Torah is that when a person studies these exalted
matters out of love and inner feeling, even
though he is not capable of perceiving the matters
with clear, intellectual comprehension,
they elevate his essence nonetheless, hence
these matters shine their light upon him.

-Rav Raiah Kook, Orot HaTorah [Lights of the Torah], Chapter 10, section 10, Gems of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.

Binah בינה‎ – understanding and wisdom

Numbers Chapter 11 בְּמִדְבַּר

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

17 And I will come down and speak with thee there; and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.

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

CLOSING OF THE STANDING PRAYER: Offering of 7 ascents after The Amidah

Blessed are you, Adonai ….
