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

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

כו  לְפָנִים, הָאָרֶץ יָסַדְתָּ;    וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ שָׁמָיִם.

26 Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.

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

יב  וְהָשֵׁב לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ שִׁבְעָתַיִם,    אֶל-חֵיקָם;
חֶרְפָּתָם אֲשֶׁר חֵרְפוּךָ    אֲדֹנָי.

12 And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, {N}
wherewith they have reproached Thee, O Lord.

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 24 תְּהִלִּים

5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
