☀️ FRIDAY PRAYER: TIFERET-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.
THE ARIDITY AND DARKNESS THAT HAVE BEFALLEN US
The aridity and the darkness that have befallen
us in this generation, such as we have
never seen before. It is because even the worshipers
of the Creator have abandoned the
engagement in the secrets of the Torah.
So is the issue before us. If the worshipers
of the Creator had, at least, engaged in
the internality of the Torah and extended a
complete Light from Ein Sof, the whole generation
would have followed them. And everyone
would be certain of their way, that they
would not fall. But if even the servants of the
Creator have distanced themselves from this
wisdom, it is no wonder the whole generation
is failing because of them. And because of my
great sorrow I cannot elaborate on that!
-Baal HaSulam, “Introduction to The Book of Zohar,” Item 57 , Gem 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 ….
