KETER: 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.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE

Now you can understand the words of our sages
about the verse, “Therefore choose life.” It
states, “I instruct you to choose the part of life,
as one who says to his son: ‘Choose for yourself
a good part in my land.’ He places him on
the good part and tells him: ‘Choose this for
yourself.’” It is written about this, “O Lord, the
portion of mine inheritance and of my cup,
You maintain my lot. You placed my hand on
the good fate, to say, ‘This take for you.’”
The words are seemingly perplexing.
The verse says, “therefore choose life.” This
means that one makes the choice by himself.
However, they say that He places him on the
good part. Thus, is there no longer choice
here? Moreover, they say that the Creator
puts one’s hand on the good fate. This is
indeed perplexing, because if so, where then
is one’s choice?
