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

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

ה  הוּכָּה-כָעֵשֶׂב וַיִּבַשׁ לִבִּי:    כִּי-שָׁכַחְתִּי, מֵאֲכֹל לַחְמִי.

5 My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread.

VIDUI: Forgive and correct our every failure to connect

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ד  אֵיךְ–נָשִׁיר אֶת-שִׁיר-יְהוָה:    עַל, אַדְמַת נֵכָר.

4 How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a foreign land?

Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים

א  מִזְמוֹר, לְאָסָף:
אֱלֹהִים, בָּאוּ גוֹיִם בְּנַחֲלָתֶךָ–    טִמְּאוּ, אֶת הֵיכַל קָדְשֶׁךָ;
שָׂמוּ אֶת-יְרוּשָׁלִַם    לְעִיִּים..

1 A Psalm of Asaph. {N}
O God, the heathen are come into Thine inheritance; they have defiled Thy holy temple; {N}
they have made Jerusalem into heaps.

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

ב  כִּי-הוּא, עַל-יַמִּים יְסָדָהּ;    וְעַל-נְהָרוֹת, יְכוֹנְנֶהָ.

2 For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
