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

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

כב  לְסַפֵּר בְּצִיּוֹן, שֵׁם יְהוָה;    וּתְהִלָּתוֹ, בִּירוּשָׁלִָם.

22 That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;

VIDUI: Forgive and correct our every failure to connect

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

א  עַל נַהֲרוֹת, בָּבֶל–שָׁם יָשַׁבְנוּ, גַּם-בָּכִינוּ:    בְּזָכְרֵנוּ, אֶת-צִיּוֹן.

1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

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 43 תְּהִלִּים

ג  שְׁלַח-אוֹרְךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ,    הֵמָּה יַנְחוּנִי;
יְבִיאוּנִי אֶל-הַר-קָדְשְׁךָ,    וְאֶל-מִשְׁכְּנוֹתֶיךָ.

3 O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me; {N}
let them bring me unto Thy holy mountain, and to Thy dwelling-places.
