FRIDAY PRAYER: YESOD-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.

“PROLONG EXILE”

Woe unto people from the affront of the Torah.
For undoubtedly, when they engage only
in the literal and in its stories, it wears its widow-
garments, and covered with a bag. And all
the nations shall say unto Israel: “What is thy
Beloved more than another beloved? Why is
your law more than our law? After all, your law,
too, is stories of the mundane.” There is no
greater affront to the Torah than that. Hence,
woe unto the people from the affront of the
Torah. They do not engage in the wisdom of
Kabbalah, which honors the Torah, for they
prolong the exile and all the afflictions that are
about to come to the world.

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.

וְעַל פְּלֵיטַת סופְרֵיהֶם.

וְעַל גֵּרֵי הַצֶּדֶק. וְעָלֵינוּ.

יֶהֱמוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ.

וְתֵן שכָר טוב לְכָל הַבּוטְחִים בְּשִׁמְךָ בֶּאֱמֶת.

CONCLUSION OF SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER.

Psalms Chapter 58 תְּהִלִּים

ט  כְּמוֹ שַׁבְּלוּל, תֶּמֶס יַהֲלֹךְ;    נֵפֶל אֵשֶׁת, בַּל-חָזוּ שָׁמֶשׁ.

9 Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away; like the untimely births of a woman, that have not seen the sun.
