☀️ 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 PURPOSE OF THE WHOLE CREATION

The purpose of the whole Creation is that
the lowly creatures will be able, by keeping
Torah and Mitzvot, to rise ever upward, ever
developing, until they are rewarded with Dvekut
with their Creator.
But here come the Kabbalists and ask,
why were we not created in this high stature of
adhesion to begin with? What reason did He
have to burden us with this labor of Creation
and the Torah and the Mitzvot? And they replied:
“He who eats that which is not his, is
afraid to look at his face.” This means that
one who eats and enjoys the labor of one’s
friend is afraid to look at his face because by
doing so he becomes increasingly humiliated
until he loses his human form. And because
that which extends from His wholeness cannot
be deficient, He gave us room to earn our
exaltedness by ourselves, through our work in
Torah and Mitzvot.

– Baal HaSulam, “The Giving of the Torah,” Item 7, Gem of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.
