Šema CZ
B-H, věrný král.
Slyš Izraeli, HaŠem je náš B-H. HaŠem je jediný.
Nechť je požehnáno jméno jeho vznešeného království na věky věkův.
Miluj Hašem svého B-Ha celým svým srdcem, celou svou duší, a celou svou silou. Nechť jsou slova, která ti dnes přikazují ve tvém srdci a ve tvé mysli. Opakuj je svým dětem a mluv o nich k sobě když pobýváš ve svém domě a když jsem si na cestách, když ležíš a když vstáváš. Uvaž si jako znamení na svou paž blízko svého srdce a jako modlitbu mezi své oči. Napiš je na pergamen a upevni je na veřeje svého domu a na své brány.

What about is all prayer, all Torah learning, and all character refinement and development about ?
In everything we do, our intention is to raise up the sparks of holiness.
Why we daily recite the passage of the OLAS TAMID ( perpetual elevation - offering - Kotbanos) ?
OLAT (offerings עולת) = TOLA (worm תולת)
According to the ARI, each morning the spiritual equivalrnt if worm, representing the forces of evil, attempts to devour and destroy everything - the entire world. Therefore, we recite the passage of the OLAS TAMID which has the power to counter this impure “worm”. This daily offering represents loving-kindness, the exact opposite of evil.
Meaning of reciting KETORES daily ?
KeToRes has same root as KaTaR (bind). Zohar speaks of the K. as binding all the worlds together, for it begins with the lowest levels of this world and ascends all the way up to G-D himself. 11 spices kf K. corresponds to the holy lights (sefiros) that are trapped in and give life to the kelipos. We recite the K.passage to free these lights from their entrapment and to elevate them. Per Zohar, the one reciting the K.passage daily will be protectwd from evil and suffer no harm. Zohar II, 218b.
The Name of the Almighty G-D, the great, powerful and awe-inspiring King, holy is he.
