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

RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:

Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים

כא  לִשְׁמֹעַ, אֶנְקַת אָסִיר;    לְפַתֵּחַ, בְּנֵי תְמוּתָה.

21 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

VIDUI: Forgive and correct our every failure to connect

TIKKUN RACHEL:

Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים

ב  עַל-עֲרָבִים בְּתוֹכָהּ–    תָּלִינוּ, כִּנֹּרוֹתֵינוּ.

2 Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps.

Psalms Chapter 79 תְּהִלִּים

ד  הָיִינוּ חֶרְפָּה, לִשְׁכֵנֵינוּ;    לַעַג וָקֶלֶס, לִסְבִיבוֹתֵינוּ.

4 We are become a taunt to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

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

יא  בְּרֶצַח, בְּעַצְמוֹתַי–    חֵרְפוּנִי צוֹרְרָי;
בְּאָמְרָם אֵלַי כָּל-הַיּוֹם,    אַיֵּה אֱלֹהֶיךָ.

11 As with a crushing in my bones, mine adversaries taunt me; {N}
while they say unto me all the day: ‘Where is thy God?’
