WEDNESDAY PRAYER: HOCHMA-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

READING: DAWN WEDNESDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 7th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה  of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

A GREAT TACTIC

The Braita warns us (Hulin 24) to not wait
longer than five years. Moreover, Rabbi Yosi
says that only three years are quite sufficient
to be granted the wisdom of the Torah.
If one does not see a good sign within
that length of time, one should not fool himself
with false hopes and deceit, but know
that he will never see a good sign. Hence, one
must immediately find himself a good tactic
by which to succeed in achieving Lishma and
to be granted the wisdom of the Torah…
This is the meaning of the Rav’s words,
that the surest and most successful tactic is
the engagement in the wisdom of Kabbalah.
One should leave one’s hand entirely from
engagement in the wisdom of the revealed
Torah, since he has already tested his luck in
it and did not succeed. And he should dedicate
all his time to the wisdom of Kabbalah,
where his success is certain.
