BINAH: TIKKUN CHATZOT תקון חצות – TIKKUN RACHEL & TIKKUN LEAH.

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

יז  כִּי-בָנָה יְהוָה צִיּוֹן–    נִרְאָה, בִּכְבוֹדוֹ.

17 When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory;

VIDUI: Forgive and correct our every failure to connect

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ג  כִּי שָׁם שְׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ, דִּבְרֵי-שִׁיר–    וְתוֹלָלֵינוּ שִׂמְחָה:
שִׁירוּ לָנוּ,    מִשִּׁיר צִיּוֹן.

3 For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: {N}
‘Sing us one of the songs of Zion.’

Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים

ג  שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם, כַּמַּיִם–סְבִיבוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָם;    וְאֵין קוֹבֵר.

3 They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.

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 20 תְּהִלִּים

ז  עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי–    כִּי הוֹשִׁיעַ יְהוָה, מְשִׁיחוֹ:
יַעֲנֵהוּ, מִשְּׁמֵי קָדְשׁוֹ–    בִּגְבֻרוֹת, יֵשַׁע יְמִינוֹ.

7 Now know I that the LORD saveth His anointed; {N}
He will answer him from His holy heaven with the mighty acts of His saving right hand.
