MONDAY PRAYER: HOD-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

READING: DAWN MONDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 1rst Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

THE BEGINNING OF ONE`S WORK

The beginning of one’s work is the recognition
of evil. This means that a person asks of the
Creator to feel how bad he is, meaning the will
to receive. Knowing it—that the will to receive
is called “evil”—is something that only the Creator
can make him feel. This is considered that
through the Torah, one can achieve recognition
of evil, meaning to know how evil the will
to receive is. Afterwards, he can ask for the will
to receive to be replaced and to be given the
desire to bestow in return for it.
