RECITATION BEFORE THE TIKKUN RACHEL AND TIKKUN LEAH:
Psalms Chapter 102 תְּהִלִּים
כט בְּנֵי-עֲבָדֶיךָ יִשְׁכּוֹנוּ; וְזַרְעָם, לְפָנֶיךָ יִכּוֹן.
29 The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.’ {P}
TIKKUN RACHEL:
Psalms Chapter 137 תְּהִלִּים
ג כִּי שָׁם שְׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ, דִּבְרֵי-שִׁיר– וְתוֹלָלֵינוּ שִׂמְחָה:
שִׁירוּ לָנוּ, מִשִּׁיר צִיּוֹן.
3 For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: {N}
‘Sing us one of the songs of 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 51 תְּהִלִּים
ח הֵן-אֱמֶת, חָפַצְתָּ בַטֻּחוֹת; וּבְסָתֻם, חָכְמָה תוֹדִיעֵנִי.
8 Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart.
