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.

“TORAH AND MITZVOT”

Our sages said, “The Creator said, ‘I have created
the evil inclination, I have created the
Torah as a spice,’” meaning that the Torah
and Mitzvot spice the evil inclination, to give
it flavor, for the evil inclination is called the
will to receive.
When it is for oneself, it is tasteless, for
the restriction is over it, and it remains in a
vacant space. But through Torah and Mitzvot,
one reaches the intention to bestow, and
with this vessel, called “will to receive,” one
receives all the delight and pleasure.
Rabash, The Rungs of the Ladder, “Concerning the Goal”
Our sages said, “I have created the evil inclination,
I have created the Torah as a spice”
(Babba Batra, 16). The matter of the spice is
as our sages said, “If only they left Me and
kept My Torah, the Light would reform them”
(Yerushalmi, Hagiga, 6b). Thus, that there is a
power in the Torah to reform a person, referring
to the evil within man, meaning to make
the will to receive be in order to bestow.
