🌟 The Mystical Significance of Tiqqunei ha-Zohar in Elul and Tishrei 🌟
The study of Tiqqunei ha-Zohar is said to repair a person's soul. Consequently, there is a centuries-old 40-day kabbalistic custom to learn the Tiqqunim from Rosh Ḥodesh Elul until Yom Kippur.
As we enter this period of introspection and te-shuvah in the Jewish calendar, we at Margalya Press wanted to share a fascinating overview our team has put together about this tradition.
While the English translation of the Tiqqunei ha-Zohar Margalya is not available in full this Elul, parts of the translation are on Sefaria. The article provides options for people interested in following a 40-day Tiqqunic learning program with the assistance of an English translation.
The kabbalistic schools of 16th century Safed believed that the most appropriate texts to study during the Ten Days of Repentance were kabbalistic works and, in particular, the Tiqqunei ha-Zohar (Tikun Zohar).
