_________prayers and blessings_______________
Jewish law requires a greater measure of concentration on the first verse of the Shema than on the rest of the prayer. People commonly close their eyes or cover them with the palm of their hand while reciting it to eliminate every distraction and help them concentrate on the meaning of the words. The final word, echad, should be prolonged and emphasized.
The (complete) Shema (Sh'ma)
1. Deuteronomy 6:(1-)4-9 (Shema): The core Hebrew prayer. Special emphasis is given to the first six Hebrew words of this passage (Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad) and a six-word response is said in an undertone (barukh shem kevod malkhuto le'olam va'ed). After a pause, Deuteronomy 6:5-9 is then recited, which stresses the commandment to love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, and might.
2. Deuteronomy 11:13-21 (Vehayah): This moving passage stresses the blessings that come through obedience to Adonai and the consequences that come through disobedience.
3. Numbers 15:37-41 (Vaiyomer): This passage concerns the use of a the Tallit, a rectangular prayer shawl with four fringes (called tsitsit). One tsitsit is attached to each corner of the tallit. The reason for wearing the tsitsit is to remind oneself to observe all of the commandments of the Lord.

The 13 Principles of Faith
Maimonides had a rational and analytical mind, and so felt the need to champion a creed for Judaism, as other religions did. He introduced the following 13 principles of faith (‘ikkarim in Hebrew) [Commentary on Sanhedrin 10]:
1. Belief in the existence of the Creator, who is perfect in every manner of existence and is the Primary Cause of all that exists.
2. The belief in G-d's absolute and unparalleled unity.
3. The belief in G-d's non-corporeality, nor that He will be affected by any physical occurrences, such as movement, or rest, or dwelling.
4. The belief in G-d's eternity.
5. The imperative to worship G-d exclusively and no foreign false gods.
6. The belief that G-d communicates with man through prophecy.
7. The belief in the primacy of the prophecy of Moses our teacher.
8. The belief in the divine origin of the Torah.
9. The belief in the immutability of the Torah.
10. The belief in G-d's omniscience and providence.
11. The belief in divine reward and retribution.
12. The belief in the arrival of the Messiah and the messianic era.
13. The belief in the resurrection of the dead

Tikkun olam is to say to repair the world. A highlighted focus on the subject is always stressing acts of kindness but can chastisement ever be used to repair or fix situations in the world? Spare the rod spoil the child, when nations tend to take things for granted and even make rebellion and immorality the norm its usually curses and destruction that get their attention to wanna fix an issue. Phincas stood boldly to turn the wrath from Israel when he killed a man for perverting the high holy places of Israel. ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikkun

The Haftarah of Parasha: Vayishlach, ends with these words (Ovadiah 1:20-21):
And this exiled host of the children of Israel who are among the Canaanites as far as Tzarfat, and the exile of Jerusalem which is in Sepharad shall inherit the cities of the Negev. And saviours shall ascend Mount Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord’sIn characteristic Sephardi fashion, the Arizal taught that a Jew must learn Torah on all four levels of Pardes, the “orchard” (the root of the word “paradise”), standing for: pshat, the simple reading; remez, reading between the lines; drash, the allegorical; and sod, the secret and mystical. Accordingly, he instructed that one should divide their study into quarters: a quarter for the Written Torah (including Nevi’imand Ketuvim), a quarter for Mishnah (and Midrash), a quarter for Talmud, and a quarter for Kabbalah. These correspond to the four levels of Pardes (as well as to the Ten Sefirot and the four mystical universes, as follows: Tanakh in Asiyah, Mishnah and Midrash in Yetzirah, Talmud in Beriah, and Kabbalah in Atzilut). The Arizal went so far as to say that a Jew who does not learn Torah on all four levels has not fulfilled the mitzvah of Torah study!
Chabad and Breslov are perhaps the most orthodox to Hasidim today. personal experience within both congregations The Hasidim tend to stress kindness and simplicity where as the Sephardi tend to stress the sod. yet it would be ignorant to say that either one doesn't apply pardes to their understanding. while some small differences both these divisions embrace the same basic tenants of Judaism.
Ashkenazi Jew just means a Jew who had resided in the land of Ashkenaz not any blood relation to Ashkenaz(geographical identification). many "Ashkenazi Jews" are Chassidism. "Sephardic" tends to point back to Spain. Both Chassid and Sephardic have people of many races and lands within their congregations.
