☀️ MONDAY PRAYER: BINAH-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

READING: DAWN MONDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The The 1rst Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

STUDY OF TORAH

Woe unto people from the affront of the Torah.
For undoubtedly, when they engage only
in the literal and in its stories, it wears its widow-
garments, and covered with a bag. And all
the nations shall say unto Israel: “What is thy
Beloved more than another beloved? Why is
your law more than our law? After all, your
law, too, is stories of the mundane.” There is
no greater affront to the Torah than that.
Hence, woe unto the people from the
affront of the Torah. They do not engage
in the wisdom of Kabbalah, which honors
the Torah, for they prolong the exile and
all the afflictions that are about to come to
the world.

Psalms Chapter 71 תְּהִלִּים

ג  הֱיֵה לִי, לְצוּר מָעוֹן לָבוֹא–    תָּמִיד, צִוִּיתָ לְהוֹשִׁיעֵנִי:
כִּי-סַלְעִי וּמְצוּדָתִי    אָתָּה.

3 Be Thou to me a sheltering rock, whereunto I may continually resort, which Thou hast appointed to save me; {N} for Thou art my rock and my fortress.
