FRIDAY PRAYER: HESED-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.
THE RIGHT PRAYER
One should not ask the Creator to draw him
near Him, since that is insolent of the person,
for in what way is he more important
than others? Whereas when he prays for the
society—which is Malchut, called “the assembly
of Israel”, the entirety of the souls—that
Divinity is in the dust, and prays for Her to
ascend, meaning that the Creator will illuminate
the darkness within her, then the whole
of Israel will ascend in degrees, including the
entreating individual, for he is part of the society
as well.
-Rabash, Steps of the Ladder, “The Ruin of Sanctity”, 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.

וְעַל פְּלֵיטַת סופְרֵיהֶם.
וְעַל גֵּרֵי הַצֶּדֶק. וְעָלֵינוּ.
יֶהֱמוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ.
וְתֵן שכָר טוב לְכָל הַבּוטְחִים בְּשִׁמְךָ בֶּאֱמֶת.
וְשים חֶלְקֵנוּ עִמָּהֶם לְעולָם וְלא נֵבושׁ כִּי בְךָ בָטָחְנוּ.
