Exodus Chapter 17 שְׁמוֹת
ז וַיִּקְרָא שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם, מַסָּה וּמְרִיבָה: עַל-רִיב בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְעַל נַסֹּתָם אֶת-יְהוָה לֵאמֹר, הֲיֵשׁ יְהוָה בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ, אִם-אָיִן. {פ}
7 And the name of the place was called Massah, and Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tried the LORD, saying: ‘Is the LORD among us, or not?’ {P}

The 16th Tefilat HaAmidah תפילת העמידה of Shemoneh Esreh (שמנה עשרה) The Prayer of Eighteen Sefirot.
OPENING OF THE STANDING PRAYER: offering of 3 descents before the Amidah.
Blessed are You, Adonai ….
TEFILLAH תפילה: TOIL OF THE HEART
PRAYER FOR GOD TO ACCEPT MY PRAYER: WAY TO JUDGE MYSELF
To think of my remoteness from God
To entreat alliance of The Light
To judge & scrutinize my failure to connect
To intercede my egoistic intention with altruistic
FOR UNITY, PURIFICATION OF SOUL, AND ADHESION WITH THE CREATOR, OUR GOD.
CLOSING OF THE STANDING PRAYER: In gratitude for 7 ascents after The Amidah
Blessed are You, Adonai …
