THURSDAY PRAYER: KETER-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

READING: DAWN THURSDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 10th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

“THE PRIME GOAL OF RELIGION AND THE TORAH”

There is a common opinion that the prime
goal of religion and the Torah is only the
cleansing of actions, that all that is desired
concerns observing the physical Mitzvot (commandments),
without any additions or anything
that should result from it. Had that
been so, those who say that studying the revealed
and practical actions alone is sufficient
would be right.
Yet, this is not the case. Our sages have
already said, “Why should the Creator mind
if one slaughters at the throat or at the back
of the neck? After all, the Mitzvot were only
given to cleanse people.” Thus, there is a purpose
beyond the observance of the actions,
and the actions are merely preparations for
this purpose. Hence, clearly, if the actions are
not arranged for the desired goal, it is as if
nothing exists. And it is also written in The
Zohar: “A Mitzva (commandment) without an
aim is like a body without a soul.” Hence, the
aim, too, should accompany the act.
