TIFERET: SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 4th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
THE TORAH
Those who engage solely in the dresses of the
Torah are gravely mistaken, may God have
mercy on them. And when the Creator’s demand
is abandoned and the majority of the
multitude of the sages of the Torah do not
know its purpose, and they consider the wisdom
of the Torah with its purpose as mere
addition of some quip to the laws—which,
though truly sacred and precious—they will
not illuminate our souls.
–The Rav Raiah Kook, Igrot (Letters), Vol. 2, 153 , Gems of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.

Numbers Chapter 11 בְּמִדְבַּר
יז וְיָרַדְתִּי, וְדִבַּרְתִּי עִמְּךָ שָׁם, וְאָצַלְתִּי מִן-הָרוּחַ אֲשֶׁר עָלֶיךָ, וְשַׂמְתִּי עֲלֵיהֶם; וְנָשְׂאוּ אִתְּךָ בְּמַשָּׂא הָעָם, וְלֹא-תִשָּׂא אַתָּה לְבַדֶּךָ.
17 And I will come down and speak with thee there; and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
FOR UNITY, PURIFICATION OF SOUL, AND ADHESION WITH THE CREATOR, OUR GOD.

12 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
