TUESDAY PRAYER: TIFERET-KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה

READING: BETWEEN AFTERNOON – SUNSET MONDAY

KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה : 🌴

– PRAYER OF GRATITUDE ON NEW MOON

Therefore, when he practices Torah and Mitzvot he wants to
extend the Light of God not for his own benefit, but since he
cannot bear not being able to justify His Providence, which is in
benevolence. It pains him that he desecrates the name of God,
whose name is Benevolent, and his body claims otherwise.
This is all that pains him since by being in a state of
separation, he cannot justify His guidance. This is considered
hating the state of separation. And when he feels this suffering,
the Creator hears his prayer, brings him near Him, and he is
rewarded with adhesion. This is because the pains that he feels
due to the separation make him be rewarded with adhesion; and
then it is said, “As far as Light excelleth darkness.”

-Baal HaSulam, Shamati, page 105
