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

ה  אִם-אֶשְׁכָּחֵךְ יְרוּשָׁלִָם–    תִּשְׁכַּח יְמִינִי.

5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.

Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים

י  לָמָּה, יֹאמְרוּ הַגּוֹיִם–    אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם:
יִוָּדַע בַּגֹּיִים לְעֵינֵינוּ;    נִקְמַת, דַּם-עֲבָדֶיךָ הַשָּׁפוּךְ.

10 Wherefore should the nations say: ‘Where is their God?’ {N}
Let the avenging of Thy servants’ blood that is shed be made known among the nations in our sight.

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

ח  תְּהוֹם-אֶל-תְּהוֹם קוֹרֵא,    לְקוֹל צִנּוֹרֶיךָ;
כָּל-מִשְׁבָּרֶיךָ וְגַלֶּיךָ,    עָלַי עָבָרוּ.

8 Deep calleth unto deep at the voice of Thy cataracts; {N}
all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me.
