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

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

כ  כִּי-הִשְׁקִיף, מִמְּרוֹם קָדְשׁוֹ;    יְהוָה, מִשָּׁמַיִם אֶל-אֶרֶץ הִבִּיט.

20 For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

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

ג  שָׁפְכוּ דָמָם, כַּמַּיִם–סְבִיבוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָם;    וְאֵין קוֹבֵר.

3 They have shed their blood like water round about Jerusalem, with none to bury them.

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

י  אוֹמְרָה, לְאֵל סַלְעִי–    לָמָה שְׁכַחְתָּנִי:
לָמָּה-קֹדֵר אֵלֵךְ–    בְּלַחַץ אוֹיֵב.

10 I will say unto God my Rock: ‘Why hast Thou forgotten me? {N}
Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?’
