HOCHMA: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 7th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה  of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

TORAH AND MITZVOT

This is the matter concerning the declining
merit of the generations until they reached
the final restriction in our generation, when
the wisdom of writers is led astray and those
who fear sin are despised. In that state, the
masses are indifferent and working the Creator
poses no obligation for them. Likewise,
they feel no lack in its absence.
Even those engaging in the work, it is
by rote. They are not thirsty, thriving to find
some freshness of thought in their work.
Were a sage to tell them, “Come let me I
teach you wisdom, to understand and to
teach the words of the Creator,” one’s immediate
response would be, “In my heart, I
already know that I will not be as Rashbi and
his friends … if I could only keep everything
in its literal form.” However, it is said about
them, “The fathers ate sour grapes, and the
children’s teeth are blunted,” for they engage
in Torah and Mitzvot prematurely, and the
teeth of their sons are made completely blunt,
and they are surprised, “What is this work for
you?” For you, and not for Him. And you,
too, blunt his teeth. This is the form of our
generation, which we are discussing.
