TUESDAY PRAYER: HOCHMA -SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER
READING: DAWN TUESDAY
SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The 4th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
THE ABSENCE
The absence that precedes man’s existence
is the form of the beast. This is why it is
written, “a wild ass’s colt is born a man,”
as it is necessary for every person to begin
in the state of a beast. And the writing says,
“Man and beast Thou preserves, O Lord.”
And as a beast is given all that it needs for
its sustenance and the fulfillment of its purpose,
He also provides man with all that is
necessary for his substance and the fulfillment
of his purpose.
Therefore, we should understand where
is the advantage of man’s form over the beast,
from the perspective of their own preparation.
Indeed, it is discerned in their wishes,
since man’s wishes are certainly different
from those of a beast. And to that extent,
God’s salvation of man differs from God’s
salvation of a beast.
