RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

ט  כָּל-הַיּוֹם, חֵרְפוּנִי אוֹיְבָי;    מְהוֹלָלַי, בִּי נִשְׁבָּעוּ.

9 Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.

VIDUI: Forgive and correct our every failure to connect

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ד  אֵיךְ–נָשִׁיר אֶת-שִׁיר-יְהוָה:    עַל, אַדְמַת נֵכָר.

4 How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a foreign land?

Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים

ח  אַל-תִּזְכָּר-לָנוּ,    עֲוֺנֹת רִאשֹׁנִים:
מַהֵר, יְקַדְּמוּנוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ–    כִּי דַלּוֹנוּ מְאֹד.

8 Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers; {N}
let Thy compassions speedily come to meet us; for we are brought very low.

CONCLUSION OF TIKKUN RACHEL:

Isaiah Chapter 52 יְשַׁעְיָהוּ

ב הִתְנַעֲרִי מֵעָפָר קוּמִי שְּׁבִי, יְרוּשָׁלִָם; התפתחו (הִתְפַּתְּחִי) מוֹסְרֵי צַוָּארֵךְ, שְׁבִיָּה בַּת–צִיּוֹן. {ס}

2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem; loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. {S}

TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 43 תְּהִלִּים

ב  כִּי-אַתָּה, אֱלֹהֵי מָעוּזִּי–    לָמָה זְנַחְתָּנִי:
לָמָּה-קֹדֵר אֶתְהַלֵּךְ,    בְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵב.

2 For Thou art the God of my strength; why hast Thou cast me off? {N}
Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?
