RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

כט  בְּנֵי-עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכּוֹנוּ;    וְזַרְעָם, לְפָנֶיךָ יִכּוֹן.

9 The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.’ {P}

VIDUI: Forgive and correct our every failure to connect

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ו  תִּדְבַּק-לְשׁוֹנִי, לְחִכִּי–    אִם-לֹא אֶזְכְּרֵכִי:
אִם-לֹא אַעֲלֶה, אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם–    עַל, רֹאשׁ שִׂמְחָתִי.

6 Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember thee not; {N}
if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy.

Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים

ב  נָתְנוּ, אֶת-נִבְלַת עֲבָדֶיךָ–    מַאֲכָל, לְעוֹף הַשָּׁמָיִם;
בְּשַׂר חֲסִידֶיךָ,    לְחַיְתוֹ-אָרֶץ. 

2 They have given the dead bodies of Thy servants to be food unto the fowls of the heaven, {N}
the flesh of Thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

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

ט  שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים, רָאשֵׁיכֶם,    וּשְׂאוּ, פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם;
וְיָבֹא,    מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; {N}
that the King of glory may come in.
