1 בס"ד תקון חצות Tikkun Chatzot - The Midnight Rite Tikkun Rachel, Tikkun Leah with Psalms, Readings and Confession Comparable to the Siddur Torah Ohr NUSACH HA-ARI ZAL According to the Text of Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi Compiled and newly typeset by Shmuel Gonzales. The text is consistent with the text of the Siddur Torah Ohr. It is provided via the Internet as a resource for study and for use for prayer when a Siddur is not immediately available. This text was created with the many people in mind that travel through out the world and find, to their horror, that their Siddur is missing. Now it s accessible for all of us in those emergency situations. One should not rely only upon this text. A Siddur is not just an order of prayer. It is intended to serve as a text for education in Jewish tradition and the keeping of mitzvot. This text lacks many of those qualities. Thus, one should own a Siddur of their own and study it. When printed this text is sheymish, or bearing the Divine Name. On paper it is fit for sacred use and therefore should not be disposed of or destroyed. If you print it, when you are finished it should be taken to a local Orthodox synagogue so that it may be buried in honor, according to Jewish Law. Version 3.1 December

2 תקון חצות Tikkun Chatzot The Midnight Rite It is, however, appropriate for anyone who is G-d-fearing, and all people of valor whose heart has been touched by Hashem, to rise at midnight and devote a little time to mourning for the destruction of the Holy Temple and the exile of the Divine Presence. Shulchan Aruch Ha-Rav, Mahadura Batra - Hashkamat HaBoker, 1:2 Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, The Baal HaTanya The scriptures tell us Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches, pour out your heart like water, facing the Presence of G-d. (Lamentations 2:19) It is the custom among the pious to rise up during the night and pray for the rebuilding of Temple and the redemption of Jewish People. The ideal times appointed for saying this devotional prayer is at the true celestial midnight; which is the actual midpoint of the night. This will vary depending on the season and location. The Baal HaTanya (S.A.HaRav; MB, Hashkamat HaBoker, 1:8) teaches us to calculate this as 12 hours after high noon, when the sun is directly overhead; this is agreed upon by many authorities including the Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 4). If one finds they cannot say Tikkun Chatzot at the appointed time then it is appropriate to say it at the first third of the night, or the second third of the night; or the end of the night, up until 1 hour before sunrise. There are various automated Zmanim resources available online, such as at Chabad.org or MyZmanim.com, that will calculate the halachic times for your location. The main devotion of the Israelite man is, in winter, to be vigilant to rise for the midnight prayer. And in summer, when the night is very short, less than six hours, and hence we do not rise at midnight, then he should be careful to rise in the morning early at dawn. Likutei Etzot, Chatzot 6 Reb Natan of Breslov If one rises to say these prayers and has slept during the night then one should say The Morning Blessings and the Blessing of the Torah. If one woke up before it's time, one - 2 -

3 should wait until chatzot (true-midnight) to say these blessings. However, if one cannot sleep and has awoken early then one may say the Blessing of The Torah and study until chatzot, then say The Morning Blessings and repeat the Blessing of the Torah together at that time. One will not have to repeat these blessings later, even if they return to sleep; their requirement to say them for that day has already been fulfilled. The prayers of Tikkun Chatzot are divided into two sections, Tikkun Rachel and Tikkun Leah. The central theme of Tikkun Rachel is mourning over exile and distress, and therefore is not appropriate to say on days of celebration. However, Tikkun Leah carries the theme of praise and longing for the Presence of G-d. Tikkun Rachel is only said on days in which Tachanun is said; it should not be said on days of celebration, including Shabbat and Festivals. Tikkun Leah, according to the Ashkenzi tradition, may be said on days even when Tachanun is not said; including Shabbat, Festivals, minor holidays, etc. (it is the custom of Sephardim to not say Tikkun Chatzot at all on Shabbat or Festivals). When saying Tikkun Chatzot, it is the custom to sit close to a door that has a mezuzah affixed to it. It is to be said in a solemn tone, being sang according to the melody of Lamentations or merely read aloud. תקון רחל Tikkun Rachel While saying Tikkun Rachel one should sit low to the ground either on a sheet on the floor or on a low stool, and remove their shoes. One should also take ashes and place them on the forehead at the place where the Tefillin of the head is laid, and cover their head with a shawl or cloth. Such symbolism represent the act of mourning. 1 ל_ שום לY אdבW לW י צb יון ל_ תW ת ל_ הU ם פ] אW ר תY חY ת אW פU ר: 1 Isaiah 61:3-3 -

4 It is the custom of most Chassidim and Sephardim to include this confession at this point on days when Tachanun is said. This text is not included in the Lubavitch siddurim at this point, as it is the custom to say this with The Bedime Shema ; however, it is being included for the use of those who follow this custom. This confession should be said while standing, upon completion one may be seated again: אjלהW ינו וWאלהW י אdבותW ינו, ת_ ב oא ל] פ_ נUיך ת] פb ל_ תW נו, ו] אY ל תb ת] עY לY ם מb ת] חb נ_תW נו, שU אW ין א_ נו עY זWי פ_ נb ים וק] שW י ערU ף, לומY ר ל] פ_ נUיך י] י_ אjלהW ינו וWאלהW י אdבותW ינו, צY דb יקb ים אdנYח] נו ו] ל oא ח_ ט_ אנו, אdב_ ל אdנYח] נו וYאdבותW ינו ח_ ט_ אנו: One should lightly strike the left side of the chest over the heart with their fist while א_ שY מ] נו ח_ מY ס] נו, ס_ רY ר] נו, reciting the sins mentioned in the following confession: גYד] נו,, ב_ _גזYל] נו, _טפY ל] נו שU קU ר. _עוb ינו, _פשY ע] נו, bדבy ר] נו דoפb י. _יעY צ] נו ר_ ע, _צרY ר] נו, bכזyב] נו, bקשb ינו ערU ף.ר_ הU עjוb ינו, Yלצ] נו, שY ע] נו, ]והb ר] שY ע] נו, _מרY ד] נו, נו,תb ת] bשחy Yזד] נו, bנאy צ] נו, עY ב] נו, ת_ עb ינו, תb ע] ת_ ע] נו: סY ר] נו מb מb צ] ותU יך ומb מb ש] פ_ טU יך הY טובb ים ו] ל oא ש_ ו_ה ל_ נו. 2 ו] אY ת_ ה צY דb יק עY ל כ_ ל הY ב_ א ע_ לW ינו, כb י אjמU ת ע_ b שo ית_ וYאdנYח] נו הb ר] ש_ ע] נו: מYה נ oאמy ר ל] פ_ נUיך שוכW ן ש] ח_ קb ים: הdל oא כ_ ל ו] הY נb ג] לות אY ת_ ה יודW עY : אY ת_ ה יודW עY ר_ זWי עול_ ם ו] תY עdלומות סb ת] רW י כ_ ל ח_ י: אY ת_ ה חופW ש כ_ ל חY ד] רW י ב_ טU ן ובוהW ן כ] ל_ יות ו_לW ב. אW ין ד_ ב_ ר נUע] ל_ ם מb מ_ ך. ו] אW ין נb ס] ת_ ר מb נUגUד עW ינUיך: וב]כWן י] הb י ר_ צון מb ל] פ_ נUיך י] _י אjלהW ינו וWאלהW י אdבותW ינו שU ת] רY חW ם ע_ לW ינו ו] תb מ] חול ל_ נו עY ל כ_ ל חY ט oאתw ינו ות] כY פW ר ל_ נו עY ל כ_ ל עdונותW ינו. ו] תb מ] חoל ו] תb ס] לY ח ל_ נו עY ל כ_ ל פ] ש_ עW ינו: 2 Nechemiah 9:33-4 -
