Its important to remember that tohor time-oriented commandments learn from D’vorah the prophetess and Hadassah, both women risked their lives. A time-oriented commandment NOT dictated by the time of the clock but rather the crisis confronting the times! A fundamental distinction

Ruth & איכה\Lamentations Book ends to one another. Hope of Redemption,,, contrasted by the bitterness of exile. This followed by קהלת\Qohelet: Vanity vanity all just vanity & אסתר/Esther, another set of opposing Book Ends which depict the disgrace depression vs. the primary causes for g’lut – assimilation and intermarriage.

Then comes the work of mysticism the Book of דניאל/Daniel. Mysticism describes the kabbalah of g’lut/exile of Jews guilty of worshipping avoda zarah; the wisdom how to do mitzvot לשמה – lost to g’lut Jewry. The NaCH closes with the contrast bookends of עזרא\Ezra, his humility vs. The Ego of נחמיה\Nehemya. History Books rather than prophetic mussar; דברי הימים\Chronicles which contrasts with the toldot of the prophetic mussar of מלכים/Kings adjacent to the Av Book of שמואל\Samuel, which teaches the prophetic mussar instruction of the Torah miztzva of Moshiach.

Herein a summation of the Order of the NaCH.The Av Mishna of ברכות makes a study of the Torah curses of accepting the Yoke of Heaven in the evening. The Book of יחזקאל/Yehezqel, it seems to me, serves as the Primary mussar aggadic analysis of this Av Mishna of ברכות; the chief focus ideal by which to explain acceptance of Torah curses as expressed through the mitzva of kre’a shma in the evening.

If you understand the Order of the Holy Writings, this gives you an essential leg-up on learning the Holy Writings as a commentary to NaCH prophetic mussar. When learning a Gemara, its ideal to choose one of the 3 major prophets, as your “fixed location”, which serves as the guide to interpret the Gemara aggadic mussar on any particular Mesechta of the Shas Bavli.

I bring as the main prophet the Book of יחזקאל/Yehezqel on the opening Av Mishna of ברכות. Common law learns by means of בנין אב/precedents. This means that if my commentary to this Av Mishna of ברכות compares a sugya of יחזקאל mussar with a similar mussar in the same Book of that prophet. Then the reader has the challenge to bring a Holy Writing commentary that serves as a toldot of g’lut mussar.

Herein explains how Torah common law works; how it weaves the warp/weft fabric of the T’NaCH into Talmudic scholarship. Once you have this Order of the Holy Writings you immediately have a working map how to bring these Holy Writing sources as a further commentary to prophetic mussar of the Book of יחזקאל/Yehezqel, by employing פרדס kabbalah logic as taught by rabbi Akiva’s explanation of the Oral Torah revelation.

Herein explains why its necessary to attempt to make an Order to the Books of the Holy Writings which serve as the Gemara to the Prophets “Mishna”! The post 2nd Temple Talmud follows after the 1st Temple T’NaCH literature model “ideal” of Jewish common law.
The Av mitzva of tohor time-oriented commandments as codified in the Book of the Siddur serves as the Primary model of how a person should study Gemara.

According to the B’hag, the mitzvot דרבנן as found in the Talmud, if raised to a tohor time oriented commandment, this k’vanna of applied prophetic mussar elevates these rabbinic mitzvot to Torah commandments! Av tohor time-oriented commandments, as codified in the sefer Siddur, they define how to elevate a rabbinic mitzva “tefillah” unto a Torah commandment.

Worlds separate doing mitzvot with k’vanna from doing mitzvot without k’vanna. All tohor time-oriented commandments require k’vanna. שב ולא תעשה ועשה מצוות do not require k’vanna. This places them on par with keeping the halachot as codified in the statute halachic codifications which fail to teach how to do mitzvot with k’vanna לשמה.

According to the Yerushalmi Talmud over 247 prophets occupied in writing the Shemone Esrei tefillah. Herein serves as the basis of all Jewish kabbalah.

A huge black hole: all discussion on the Siddur which fails to address the simple fact that the Siddur together with the Book of בראשית addresses the Av/toldot relationship between time-oriented commandments to their toldot positive and negative commandments in the other four Books of the Written Torah.

Removal of the sciatic nerve, one of the few Commandments together with fruitful and multiply and circumcision in the Book of בראשית the Av Book to the toldot other 4 Books of the Torah! The tefillah on the Yom Tov and Shabbat “remembers”.

Remembers what? The oaths sworn by the Avot, the k’vanna of kre’a shma which links the 3 Divine Names in the opening p’suk of this tefillah דאורייתא to אלהי אברהם וכו in the adjacent Shemone Esrei דרבנן.

What oaths did the Avot swear when they cut a oath brit with HaShem? HaShem swore oaths to the Avot (future born seed plus the inheritance of the land to this future born [עולם הבא] chosen Cohen nation seed). What sworn oaths did the Avot swear in their brit alliance with HaShem? The Baali Tosafot teach אלהי אברהם as a reference to מלכות. This משל term מלכות interpreted to mean the dedication of tohor middot. Hence 13 middle blessing affixed to the revelation of the 13 tohor middot ‘ה’ ה’ אל רחום וחנון וכו.

Tefillah stands in the stead of korbanot. Korbanot NOT a barbeque unto Heaven. But an action of swearing a Torah oath (which requires שם ומלכות) “dedicated” as Holy to HaShem. As the 13 Middle Blessings stand distinct from one another a person should possess the wisdom which discerns the distinctions which separate the definition of one tohor midda from the other tohor middot the one from the others.

This ability/wisdom to discern like from like defines the concept of k’vanna — which all time oriented commandments require. This basis of Torah faith qualifies as the meaning to the term “Fear of Heaven”. All time oriented commandments stand upon this יסוד kabbalah of faith.

Removal of the sciatic nerve remembers the crisis, comparable to the Akadah of Yitzak, of Yaacov’s encounter with his brother Esau. Targum Uziel says that Esau approach Yaacov with an Army led by 400 Officers! In short Yaacov toast, just like the life of Yitzak at the Akedah!

Removal of the sciatic nerve: a tohor time-oriented commandment. The Book of בראשית opens with בראשית followed by נח. Tohor time-oriented commandments express Moshe Rabbeinu’s life & death, therefore choose life commandment. בראשית, contained in the first תמיד מעשה בראשית of the opening ברכה של קריא שמע. And נח, the death of all living, contained in the second תמיד מעשה בראשית at the closing of this opening blessing of kre’a shma.

Tohor time-oriented commandments emanate the power to Create the world or destroy the world יש מאין. Torah oaths created from nothing זה וזה. The B’hag ruled that rabbinic commandments 100 blessings, nir shabbat, nir hannukah, reading m’gilah esther, etc. as mitzvot from the Torah. All these rabbinic commandments, according to Rambam in his introduction to Sefer Ha’Mitzvot, tohor time-oriented commandments. The B’had in essence held that just as the תרי”ג commandments existed as toldot of tohor time-oriented Avot commandments as located in the Av Book of בראשית, all rabbinic halachot within the Talmud, if sanctified as time-oriented commandments qualify as commandments from the Torah itself!

Time-oriented commandments require כוונה. Understood as the dedication of tohor middot reveal to Moshe at Horev and explained by the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva’s פרדס understanding of the כוונה of the Oral Torah revelation at Horev — 40 days after the Sin of the Golden Calf avoda zarah which violates the 2nd Sinai commandments throughout the generations till today. How many times does the bible or koran bring the revelation of the שם השם? Doing mitzvot לשמה separates Jews in Israel from Jews in g’lut. The RambaN teaches in his Chumash commentary that doing mitzvot in g’lut only a “remembrance” to doing mitzvot לשמה in ארץ ישראל – the oath sworn lands for the chosen Cohen nation.
