☀️ MONDAY PRAYER: HOD-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

READING: DAWN MONDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The The 1rst Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

WHY DID THE CREATOR BURDEN US WITH CREATION?

If the purpose of the Torah and the entire
creation is but to raise the base humanity to
become worthy of that wonderful sublimity,
and to cleave onto Him, He should have created
us with that sublimity to begin with, instead
of troubling us with the labor that there
is in creation and Torah and Mitzvot.
We could explain that by the words of our
sages: “One who eats that which is not his, is
afraid to look at one’s face.” This means that
anyone who feeds on the labor of others is
afraid (ashamed) to look at his own form, for
his form is inhuman.
Because no deficiency comes out of His
wholeness, He has prepared for us this work,
that we may enjoy the labor of our own hands.
That is why He created creation in this base
form. The work in Torah and Mitzvot lifts us
from the baseness of creation, and through
it we reach our sublimity by ourselves. Then
we do not feel the delight and pleasure that
comes to us from his generous hand, as a gift,
but as owners of that pleasure.
