RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

יא  מִפְּנֵי-זַעַמְךָ וְקִצְפֶּךָ–    כִּי נְשָׂאתַנִי, וַתַּשְׁלִיכֵנִי.

11 Because of Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.

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

ז  כִּי, אָכַל אֶת-יַעֲקֹב;    וְאֶת-נָוֵהוּ הֵשַׁמּוּ.

7 For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his habitation.

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.
