FRIDAY PRAYER: HOCHMA-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.
“ENGAGEMENT IN MITZVOT”
The impression that comes to a person when
engaging in Mitzvot between man and God is
completely the same as the impression he gets
when engaging in Mitzvot between man and
man. He is obliged to perform all the Mitzvot
Lishma (for Her name), without any hope for
self-love, meaning that no light or hope returns
to him through his trouble in the form
of reward or honor, etc. Here, in this exalted
point, the love of the Creator and the love of
his friend unite and actually become one.
”-Baal HaSulam, The Arvut [Mutual Guarantee], Item 22, Gem 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.
