Tikkun Leil Shavuot

TikkunCover

The Jewish Sages teach that staying up all night on the holiday of Shavuot to study Torah is more than just a celebration, it is a tikkun, a spiritual rectification.

The 16th-century mystic Rabbi Itzchak Luria, better known as the Ari HaKadosh (“The Holy Lion”) or the Arizal, formally instituted the all-night study session, and prepared a special study guide for the night of Shavuot. While other Shavuot study guides have developed over the centuries, this book presents the Arizal’s original version, in both Hebrew and English.

To further enhance the text, a selection of penetrating insights and commentaries have been included, drawn primarily from the Kabbalistic teachings of the Zohar and the Arizal, as well as the Talmud, Midrash, and the wisdom of our Sages. Beyond the night of Shavuot, this book can be read throughout the year for more mystical insights into the weekly parasha.
