☀️ SATURDAY PRAYER: YESOD-SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER

READING: DAWN SATURDAY

SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER and The MUSAF מוּסָף FOR SHABBAT:  of  Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה‎) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.

THE PURPOSE OF CREATION

All the worlds, Upper and lower and everything
within them, were created only for
man. This is so because all these degrees and
worlds came only to complement the souls in
the measure of Dvekut that they lacked with
respect to the Thought of Creation.
In the beginning, they were restricted and
hung down degree-by-degree and world after
world, down to our material world, to bring
the soul into a body of this world, which is
entirely to receive and not to bestow, like
animals and beasts. It is written, “A wild ass’s
colt is born a man.” This is considered the
complete will to receive, which has nothing
in the form of bestowal. In that state, a man
is regarded as the complete opposite of Him,
and there is no greater remoteness than that.
Afterwards, through the soul that clothes
within one, he engages in Torah and Mitzvot.
Gradually and slowly, from below Upwards,
he obtains the same form of bestowal as his
Maker, through all the discernments that
hung down from Above downwards, which
are but degrees and measures in the form of
the desire to bestow.
Each Higher degree means that it is
farther from the will to receive, and closer
to being only to bestow. In the end, one is
awarded being entirely to bestow and to not
receive anything for himself. At that time,
one is completed with true Dvekut with Him,
for this is the only reason why man was created.
Thus, all the worlds and everything in
them were created only for man.

CONCLUSION OF SHACHARIT שַחֲרִית MORNING PRAYER.

Psalms Chapter 71 תְּהִלִּים

יח  וְגַם עַד-זִקְנָה, וְשֵׂיבָה–    אֱלֹהִים אַל-תַּעַזְבֵנִי:
עַד-אַגִּיד זְרוֹעֲךָ לְדוֹר;    לְכָל-יָבוֹא, גְּבוּרָתֶךָ.

18 And even unto old age and hoary hairs, O God, forsake me not; {N}
until I have declared Thy strength unto the next generation, Thy might to every one that is to come.
