Messianic Halakha comes to us from the Hebrew word to mean to walk, It is a term for rules and rulings that govern Jewish life. In this lesson we will cover of the Messianic Halakha importance of Shacharit, We have touched on the morning prayers in our past halakha lessons and today we want to dedicate this lesson specifically to Shacharit, There is some additional information to the essential purpose and reason for this Tefillah and i want to give you that additional information.
On the 25th when we resume the normality of our Kingdom Living Letters © news letters we will pick up on Minchah. It is to this purpose that when we end this series a few months a way that you our readers will have a complete list of Halakha as far as Messianic Judaism is concerned, I have sixteen more lessons to cover according to my notes, but it looks as if i may add some more to the list, I believe there are some additional Rabbinical Halakha lessons which i would like to add to the list. I think it would be undone without mentioning some of the latter Halakha studies which you should learn, mind you these lesson are mainly for New Jews and to reinforce what we already know, plus i have added to the Halakha my take on the lessons which you can dismiss or receive as fundamental resourceful information, Now the scriptures that have been listed with each lesson is given to prove that in the so called Old Testament(Tanakh) and in the so called New Testament( Brit Chadasha) that these Halakha lessons were the norm, and that even Yeshua himself observed Halakha and the scriptures proves that, Halakha was known to Rabbi Shaul and is a intertwining source in the text of the whole bible, as always if you have any questions concerning the lessons email us at mindchangingministries@minister.com
Lesson:
The Shacharit comes from the root word Shachar-meaning: Morning Light( Boqer Ohr)
The Shacharit is the mourning prayer, Halakha limits sections of this prayers recitation to the first three or four hours of the day while saying the Sh'ma and the Amidah, various prayers are said at this time upon arising. The Talis Koton (garment with Tzitzit) is put on or the Tallit is donned before and during the prayer service. The service starts with the morning blessing called: Birkot Ha'Shachar-including blessings for the Torah, the very next section is titled:
Pesukei D'Zimrah(Verse of Praise) containing portions of Tehillim passaged being Chapter(kothereth) 100 & 145-150
Tehillim 5.(as mentioned in the scripture listing above) verses 1-9 -says From The Orthodox Jewish Bible(The very best in my opinion!)
1.For the one directing. For the flutes. Mizmor Dovid)
2.Give ear to my words
Hashem, consider my meditation.
3.Pay heed unto the voice of my cry, Malki vElohai; for unto thee will I Daven(Shacharit, Tefillah, Prayers)
4.My Voice shalt thou hear in the boker(morning)
Hashem in the boker will I bring my prayer before thee as a spiritual sacrifice and wait for an answer.
5.For thou are not El that hath pleasure in resha, neither shall rah dwell with thee.
6.The holelim(arrogant) shall not stand in thy sight; thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
7.Thou shalt destroy them that speak kazav(falsehood) Hashem will abhor
the Ish damim u'mirmah(bloody and deceitful man)
8.But as for me, I will come into thy Bais in the multitude of thy chesed
and in thy fear will i bow down toward Thy Heikhal Kodesh
9.Lead me , Hashem, in Thy tzedakah because of mine enemies
make Thy derech straight before my face.
Shacharit covers such prayers as Yehi Chevod
which is made from the tapestry of biblical verses followed by Shemot chap 14,15 and then supported by the Barechu- The public call to Tefillah which introduces a series of corporate expanded blessings embracing the Sh'ma, Amidah or Shemoneh Esrei- a series of 19 blessings directly thereafter the prayer of Tachanun- supplications- which are omitted on days with festive character. The concluding Tefillah is Aleinu.
The Shacharit commemorates The Tamid Shel Shachar
The sacrifices once offered in the Holy Temple every morning!!!
Since we don't have a Temple just yet to offer our offerings and sacrifices, we offer our prayers instead(very important for you to remember)
The Shacharit comes to us today and was given to us from Avraham, who would regularly
offer Tefillah in the morning to YHVH ( Genesis 21.14) and he taught his descendants to do likewise, even “Yeshua and his Talmidim did Shacharit in the mornings” ( Mark 1.35 ) WOW
The Amidah is the central, critical section of Shacharit around which the other sections were built, In the times of the Temple- Beit Ha'Mikdash- when full Tefillah services were not required, Tefillah consisted of the Amidah alone...
The Shacharit adds Torah readings on Shabbat, Holidays- Monday and Thursday- an additional service called a Musaf is sometimes added.
There are 39 steps and 7 sections to the Shacharit service

______________________________________
The Shacharit( Morning Service)interprets the form and content of the Shabbat Synagogue service. While conceived as a concert setting of the text, the harmonic melodic structure also contains references to the traditional Ashkenazic Prayer modes of the service
Baruch She'amar- Blessed is the one who spoke and the universe came into being, opens with an timpani roll expressing the creative force of the word, Torah. The call to public worship (Barechu) chanted with awe and reverence, uses an ascending major third and descending minor third, as in the traditional call and response, The Chazzan sings all the prayers and the Rabbi recited them with passion, vigor, humility and drawing to each word of the prayers to assure proper recitation and proper thoughts and mind set with the prayers as they are Kodesh and point us to YHVH and Yeshua Ha'Mashiach, Keep in mind that these prayers are at least 3400 years old and Yeshua knew them and observed them as the scripture i showed you proved that, many assume that these prayers are all man made and imputed with man made traditions.
I want to correct that falsity, these prayers as the fiber of Judaism was a common normality for Jews at that time as today, mentioning these prayers would not have been anything uncommon or new or oblivious as apart of the core fabrics of Judaism, so it isn't surprising that Yeshua observed these and as a Jew spoke them as they are today in Hebrew, I have come to realize that since these Tefillah were a mode of life and apart of the scriptures as much as they are alive today, Yeshua and his Talmidim knew them well, well enough to recite them at the Temple for most of the times they went, for people who say the Old Law(Torah, Tanakh) has been done away with, can't see that the so called New Testament is nothing more but a continuity of all that ever was, Judaism doesn't have this mind set of Christianity were the doctrine and dogmas change depending on the mood, These core prayers are the same as they ever were, and they wore no new thing to Yeshua and they neither should be for us, Another thing i realize now is that until we learn Hebrew we will never realize our bibles and never able to connect the dotes of the times of Yeshua to this present age, “ He is here in Spirit, In the Liturgy, In the songs, In the Tallit, In Messianic Judaism and Judaism alike- He is here and when i hear the prayers it is easy to see him reciting them himself, It is easy to hear him calling out Tefillah, Davening, Baruchs and Sh'ma- because he did!! some how people really seem to see the Torah/ Tanakh and the New Testament as if they are not together- There really isn't any chapters in the Bible, men added that- from Genesis to Revelation it is all one-Echad not separated by any means, nor was it meant to be- It is complete as one, until we see that- we will forever separate the Law from grace, or Mercy from Torah-
When Yeshua never came to separate the Law or Torah, Matthew 5. When it states in verse 17. Don't think that I have come to abolish( chalaph- hasten away,chathath- break down,machah-erase) the Torah or the Prophets(Tanakh) I have come not to abolish( Destroy, break down, erase) but to complete(tamiym-entire completion,pleroo-to fill) 18. Yes indeed! I tell you that until Shomayim and HaEretz pass away(Heaven and Earth) not so much as a Yud or stroke will pass from the Torah not until everything that must happen has happened.
So then he is speaking as the Moshiach in the Brit Chadasha that he hasn't come to create a new religion that changes the very word of God, He hasn't come as a False Messiah that changes the word, He kept the word and never taught a contrary message to disobey Torah, The Torah will remain in place forever and will at the Yemei Ha'Mashiach Acharit Ha'Yamin be completed in him, Him stating that it won't pass until everything that must happen has happened, until the prophecies materialize and he returns as Ariel, It won't change, when he comes it won't change, his position changes from a meek and lowly shepherd to the lion of the Tribe of Judah, The Torah at that time will encompass those revelations as applying to himself, what will change is men won't be able to serve Judaism absent of Yeshua, what will change is that he will be Melech over Israel and men won't look for another Moshiach, What must happen is what Revelations states must happen, He has already been denied by men, who seek his father with out seeking him- That has already happened, What will happen is that the son of man must return, and every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that”YES”this is Yeshua Ha'Mashiach- Moshiach of Israel and the world!! until that confession comes, until he returns and fulfills all things, Torah doesn't change, The Torah won't change- Heaven and earth shall pass away but the word shall stand, so when does it change, it doesn't change- It fulfills its place in Moshiach , that can't happen right now- because men won't allow it to happen, men won't believe the records that he is Yeshua the only Messiah, men won't serve him- They want Judaism absent of the real Messiah, but a day is coming when they shall recognize and bow themselves before him, when he comes that shall be a day of true Tefillah, not such as ever been seen before or heard out of the mouths of men!!!!!
