HOD: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 1rst Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
ENGAGEMENT IN TORAH AND MITZVOT
Through the natural remedy of the engagement
in Torah and Mitzvot Lishma, which the
Giver of the Torah knows, as our sages wrote
(Kidushin 30b), “The Creator says, ‘I have created
the evil inclination, I have created for
it the Torah as a spice.’” Thus, that creature
develops and marches upward in degrees of
the above spoken exaltedness, until he loses
all remnants of self-love and all the Mitzvot in
his body rise, and he performs all his actions
only to bestow, so even the necessity that he
receives flows in the direction of bestowal, so
he can bestow.
-Baal HaSulam, Matan Torah [The Giving of the Torah], Item 12, Gems of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.
