FRIDAY PRAYER: KETER-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
READING: DAWN FRIDAY
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 13th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh ( שמנה עשרה ) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
THE PROHIBITION FROM ABOVE
The prohibition from Above to refrain from
open study of the wisdom of truth was for a
limited period, until the end of 1490. Thereafter
is considered the last generation, in which
the prohibition was lifted and permission has
been granted to engage in The Book of Zohar.
And since the year 1540, it has been a great
Mitzva (precept) for the masses to study, old
and young. And since the Messiah is bound
to come as a result, and for no other reason,
it is inappropriate to be negligent.
-Abraham Ben Mordechai Azulai, Introduction to the book,
Ohr HaChama (Light of the Sun) 81, Gems of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.

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.
עַל הַצַּדִּיקִים וְעַל הַחֲסִידִים.
וְעַל זִקְנֵי עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשרָאֵל.
וְעַל פְּלֵיטַת סופְרֵיהֶם.
וְעַל גֵּרֵי הַצֶּדֶק. וְעָלֵינוּ.
יֶהֱמוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ.
וְתֵן שכָר טוב לְכָל הַבּוטְחִים בְּשִׁמְךָ בֶּאֱמֶת.
וְשים חֶלְקֵנוּ עִמָּהֶם לְעולָם וְלא נֵבושׁ כִּי בְךָ בָטָחְנוּ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’, מִשְׁעָן וּמִבְטָח לַצַּדִּיקִים:
FOR UNITY, PURIFICATION OF SOULS, AND ADHESION WITH THE CREATOR, OUR GOD.
CLOSING OF THE STANDING PRAYER: Offering of 7 ascents after The Amidah
Blessed are you, Adonai ….

CONCLUSION OF SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER.
Psalms Chapter 55 תְּהִלִּים
טז ישימות (יַשִּׁי מָוֶת), עָלֵימוֹ–יֵרְדוּ שְׁאוֹל חַיִּים: כִּי-רָעוֹת בִּמְגוּרָם בְּקִרְבָּם.
16 May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.
