RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

טו  כִּי-רָצוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ, אֶת-אֲבָנֶיהָ;    וְאֶת-עֲפָרָהּ, יְחֹנֵנוּ.

15 For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust.

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

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 42 תְּהִלִּים

ו  מַה-תִּשְׁתּוֹחֲחִי, נַפְשִׁי–    וַתֶּהֱמִי עָלָי:
הוֹחִלִי לֵאלֹהִים, כִּי-עוֹד אוֹדֶנּוּ–    יְשׁוּעוֹת פָּנָיו.

6 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why moanest thou within me? {N}
Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance.
