The morning prayer service is divided into four general sections. The first (Korbanos) involves readings associated with the sacrificial system, the second (Pesukei d’Zimrah) consist of Psalms and other Biblical praises, the third is the Shema and its blessings, and the fourth is the Amidah and concluding prayers.

The concept of tzitzis: connecting holiness to one’s clothing. Therefore, tzitzis identifies the Jew and the Non-Jew as HaShem/Elokim servant, responsible for creation’s rectification.
All this, however, is based on the fact that man is HaShem/Elokim servant, and was therefore given the task of rectifying all creation. It is for this reason alone that his deeds can have such an effect and he can thus actually accomplish this.

King David wrote (Psalms 104: 20-23), “HaShem/Elokim makes darkness, and it is night, and all the beasts of the forest creep forth…The sun rises, they slink away…Mankind then goes forth to their work, and to labor until evening.”
Even through nighttime in general is the time when these Forces have authority, this is actually only true of the first half of the night. At midnight, an Influence of Illumination and favor emanates from HaShem/Elokim to all worlds, and authority is taken away from these Forces of evil.

Prayer is a daily obligation, requesting HaShem/Elokim’s good be supplied without interruption. One of the conditions ordained by the Highest Wisdom was that in order for mankind to receive sustenance form HaShem/Elokim, they must first motivate themselves in HaShem/Elokim direction and turn to HaShem/Elokim to request their needs. HaShem/Elokim desires and wills to constantly benefit mankind. He therefore arranged that prayer be a daily obligation. Through it, mankind receives sustenance, success and blessing according to their needs, as dictated by their state of being.

Man and creation are composed of 248 basic components, each rectified via the 248 words of the “Shema”. HaShem daily renews the Divine Influences which sustain all of creation and sends a new Influence particular to each day of His creation. The significance of the Shema, “Hear O Israel, HaShem is our G-d, HaShem is One,” is therefore to bear witness to HaShem’s unity in all its aspects, as well as to accept the yoke of His Kingdom and His Authority over all creation, and to resolve to give one’s life for the sanctification of His Name.

Problem and Solution Summary:
Due to a power problem at the data center resulting from an explosion in the power system that destroyed the utility room at the data center, our media servers went off-line Saturday afternoon around 5pm CDT. After many successive assurances that the server would be back in operation “soon”, it became evident that this would not be the case. (As of this writing, the server is still not available.) Measures were taken to restore backups onto a different server, and a good deal of that work is now done after about 2.5 days of almost non-stop file transfers and network configuration/redirection tasks.
