READING: DAWN FRIDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 13th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh ( שמנה עשרה‎ ) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

FRIENDS AND THE CREATOR

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.

TZADIKIM צדיקים PRAYER FOR THE OLD RIGHTEOUS

Show compassion Adonai, our God, for the righteous, for the pious, for the elders of Your people, the House of Israel, and to the remnant of their sages, and to righteous converts, and to us. And give a good reward to all who truly trust in Your name. And let our lot be with them forever, that we will be proud that we have put our trust in you. Blessed are You, Adonai, who is the support and trust for the righteous.
