📜 NOTICE OF RESTORATION: Reclaiming the 3x Daily Prayer in Paleo-Hebrew
✨ BHS Restoration Series | Paleo-Messianic Alignment
We declare a restoration of the daily rhythm of communion with YHVH - not according to the traditions of men, but according to the witness of the Patriarchs, the Torah, and Yahusha haMashiach. The commonly used names for prayer times (Shacharit, Mincha, Ma’ariv) are not Torah-rooted and bear Assyrian/post-Exilic influences. Even the word Tefillah is of questionable origin. As part of Berith Haphak Saphah’s call to purify our lips and return to the Ancient Path, we hereby restore the true Paleo-Hebrew names and framework of daily devotion.

🧭 DIRECTION & POSTURE:

Face east if possible, or lift eyes to the shamayim

Lift hands or bow as Scripture leads (1 Tim 2:8, Teh 134:2)
-
Speak aloud or meditate silently - sincerity is key
🕊️ FINAL DECLARATION:
“And from the rising of the sun even to its going down, My Name is great among the nations... and in every place incense is presented to My Name, even a clean offering...”
— Mal’aki 1:11
We now reclaim the true, ancient rhythm of prayer - not through the lens of rabbinic Judaism, nor post-Assyrian distortions, but in the pure tongue of our fathers. Let the remnant return. Let the Berithot be honored. Let the Qodesh Names be lifted.
Barukh YHVH Tseva’ot, in the name of Yahusha haMashiach!
