FRIDAY PRAYER: KETER-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
READING: DAWN FRIDAY
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 13th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh ( שמנה עשרה ) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
TO LOVE THE CREATOR
What should one do in order to come to
love the Creator? For that purpose we are
granted the remedy of engaging in Torah and
Mitzvot, for the Light in it reforms. There is
Light there, which lets one feel the severity
of the state of separation. And slowly, as one
intends to acquire the Light of Torah, hatred
for separation is created in him. He begins to
feel the reason that causes him and his souls
to be separated and far from the Creator.
-Baal HaSulam, Shamati [I Heard], Article no. 34, “The Profit of a Land”, Gems of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.

TZADIKIM צדיקים PRAYER FOR THE OLD RIGHTEOUS
Show compassion Adonai, our God, for the righteous, for the pious, for the elders of Your people, the House of Israel, and to the remnant of their sages, and to righteous converts, and to us. And give a good reward to all who truly trust in Your name. And let our lot be with them forever, that we will be proud that we have put our trust in you. Blessed are You, Adonai, who is the support and trust for the righteous.
עַל הַצַּדִּיקִים וְעַל הַחֲסִידִים.
וְעַל זִקְנֵי עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשרָאֵל.
וְעַל פְּלֵיטַת סופְרֵיהֶם.
וְעַל גֵּרֵי הַצֶּדֶק. וְעָלֵינוּ.
יֶהֱמוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ ה’ אֱלהֵינוּ.
וְתֵן שכָר טוב לְכָל הַבּוטְחִים בְּשִׁמְךָ בֶּאֱמֶת.
וְשים חֶלְקֵנוּ עִמָּהֶם לְעולָם וְלא נֵבושׁ כִּי בְךָ בָטָחְנוּ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה’, מִשְׁעָן וּמִבְטָח לַצַּדִּיקִים:
FOR UNITY, PURIFICATION OF SOULS, AND ADHESION WITH THE CREATOR, OUR GOD.

Blessed are you, Adonai ….

CONCLUSION OF SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER.
Psalms Chapter 52 תְּהִלִּים
י וַאֲנִי, כְּזַיִת רַעֲנָן– בְּבֵית אֱלֹהִים;
בָּטַחְתִּי בְחֶסֶד-אֱלֹהִים, עוֹלָם וָעֶד.
10 But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; {N}
I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
