TUESDAY PRAYER: HOD-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
READING: DAWN TUESDAY
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 4th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
THE ASSEMBLY OF ISRAEL
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.
