Join the Tens of Thousands of the People of Israel

On the eve of Rosh Hashanah 5786 (2025) at 12:00 PM, the entire People of Israel in Uman, in the Land of Israel, and throughout the whole world, unite to recite the Global Tikkun HaKlali (The General Rectification).

Before you is a link to the live broadcast from the gathering for the Tikkun HaKlali at the Tziyun (holy gravesite) of our Holy Rebbe in the holy city of Uman:

The Tikkun HaKlali for Reading:

Chapter 16: A Miktam of David. Keep me, O God, for I have taken refuge in You. I said to Hashem: "You are my Lord; I have no good but in You." As for the holy ones who are in the earth, they are the noble ones in whom is all my delight. Let their idols be multiplied who give gifts to another; I will not pour out their drink-offerings of blood, nor take their names upon my lips. Hashem is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless Hashem, who has given me counsel; yea, in the night seasons my reins instruct me. I have set Hashem always before me; surely He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also dwells in safety. For You will not abandon my soul to the nether-world; neither will You suffer Your godly one to see the pit. You will make me know the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, in Your right hand bliss for evermore.

Chapter 32: Of David. A Maskil. Happy is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happy is the man unto whom Hashem counts not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept silence, my bones wore away through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my sap was turned as in the droughts of summer. Selah. I acknowledged my sin unto You, and my iniquity have I not hid; I said: "I will make confession concerning my transgressions unto Hashem"; and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah. For this let every one that is godly pray unto You in a time when You may be found; surely, when the great waters overflow, they will not reach him. You are my hiding-place (pause slightly here); You preserve me from distress; You compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go; I will give counsel, My eye being upon you." Be not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, that they come not near unto you. Many are the sorrows of the wicked; but he that trusts in Hashem, mercy compasses him about. Be glad in Hashem, and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you that are upright in heart.

Chapter 41: For the leader. A Psalm of David. Happy is he who considers the poor; Hashem will deliver him in the day of evil. Hashem will preserve him, and keep him alive, and he shall be blessed upon the earth; and deliver not You him unto the greed of his enemies. Hashem will support him upon the bed of suffering; You turn all his lying down in his sickness. I said: "Hashem, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against You." My enemies speak evil of me: "When shall he die, and his name perish?" And if one comes to see me, he speaks falsehood; his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he speaks of it. All that hate me whisper together against me; against me do they devise my hurt: "An evil thing is poured out into him; and now that he lies, he shall rise up no more." Yea, even my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me. But You, O Hashem, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them. By this I know that You delight in me, that my enemy does not triumph over me. And as for me, You uphold me because of my integrity, and set me before Your face for ever. Blessed be Hashem, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

Chapter 42: For the leader. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God: "When shall I come and appear before God?" My tears have been my food day and night, while they say unto me all the day: "Where is your God?" These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I passed on with the throng, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday. Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why do you moan within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him for the salvation of His countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore do I remember You from the land of Jordan, and the Hermons, from the hill Mizar. Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your cataracts; all Your waves and Your billows are gone over me. By day Hashem will command His lovingkindness, and in the night His song shall be with me, a prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my Rock: "Why have You forgotten me? Why go I mourning under the oppression of the enemy?" As with a crushing in my bones, my adversaries taunt me; while they say unto me all the day: "Where is your God?" Why are you cast down, O my soul? and why do you moan within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

Chapter 59: For the leader; Al-tashheth. [A Psalm] of David; Miktam; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the men of blood. For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the impudent gather themselves together against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Hashem. Without my fault, they run and prepare themselves; awake Thou to help me, and behold. Thou therefore, O Hashem God of hosts, the God of Israel, arouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to any treacherous workers of iniquity. Selah. They return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city. Behold, they belch out with their mouth; swords are in their lips: "For who does hear?" But You, O Hashem, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision. Because of his strength, I will wait upon You; for God is my high tower. The God of my mercy will come to meet me; God will let me gaze upon my adversaries. Slay them not, lest my people forget; make them wander to and fro by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord our shield. For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for cursing and lying which they speak. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they be no more; and let them know that God rules in Jacob, unto the ends of the earth. Selah. And they return at evening, they howl like a dog, and go round about the city. They wander up and down for food, and tarry all night if they be not satisfied. But as for me, I will sing of Your strength; yea, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my high tower, and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my strength, unto You will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.

Chapter 77: For the leader; for Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. I will lift up my voice unto God, and cry; I will lift up my voice unto God, that He may give ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; with my hand uplifted, my eye flowed in the night, and ceased not; my soul refused to be comforted. When I think of God, I must moan; when I muse, my spirit faints. Selah. You hold my eyelids open; I am troubled, and cannot speak. I have pondered the days of old, the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night; I commune with my own heart; and my spirit makes diligent search: "Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will He be favourable no more? Is His mercy clean gone for ever? Is His promise come to an end for evermore? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His compassions?" Selah. And I say: "This is my weakness, that the right hand of the Most High could change." I will make mention of the deeds of Hashem; yea, I will remember Your wonders of old. I will meditate also upon all Your work, and muse on Your doings. Your way, O God, is in holiness; who is a great god like unto God? You are the God that does wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. The waters saw You, O God; the waters saw You, they were in pain; the depths also trembled. The clouds flooded forth waters; the skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also went abroad. The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; the lightnings lightened the world; the earth trembled and shook. Your way was in the sea, and Your path in the great waters, and Your footsteps were not known. You led Your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Chapter 90: A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, You have been our dwelling-place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. You turn man to contrition; and say: "Return, you children of men." For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. You carry them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which grows up. In the morning it flourishes, and grows up; in the evening it is cut down, and withers. For we are consumed in Your anger, and by Your wrath are we hurried away. You have set our iniquities before You, our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. For all our days are passed away in Your wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away. Who knows the power of Your anger, and Your wrath according to the fear that is due unto You? So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom. Return, O Hashem; how long? and let it repent You concerning Your servants. O satisfy us in the morning with Your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days wherein You have afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil. Let Your work appear unto Your servants, and Your glory upon their children. And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; and establish You the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish You it.

Chapter 105: Give thanks unto Hashem, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples. Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak of all His marvellous works. Glory in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek Hashem. Seek Hashem and His strength; seek His face continually. Remember His marvellous works that He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth; O you seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen ones. He is Hashem our God; His judgments are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations; [the covenant] which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant; saying: "Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance." When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it; and they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes: "Touch not Mine anointed ones (Moshiachs), and do My prophets no harm." And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread. He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant. His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron; until the time that his word came to pass, the word of Hashem tested him. The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance; to bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. And He increased His people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries. He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants. He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen. They set among them His signs, and wonders in the land of Ham. He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word. He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings. He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders. He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders. He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm, and that without number, and did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground. He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength. And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble person among His tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them. He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night. They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant; and He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing. And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession; that they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.

Chapter 137: By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. Upon the willows in the midst thereof we hanged up our harps. For there they that led us captive asked of us words of song, and our tormentors asked of us mirth: "Sing us one of the songs of Zion." How shall we sing Hashem's song in a foreign land? If I forget you, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I remember you not; if I set not Jerusalem above my chiefest joy. Remember, O Hashem, against the children of Edom the day of Jerusalem; who said: "Raze it, raze it, even to the foundation thereof." O daughter of Babylon, that art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that repays you as you have served us. Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes your little ones against the rock.

Chapter 150: Hallelujah. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the firmament of His power. Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His abundant greatness. Praise Him with the blast of the horn; praise Him with the psaltery and harp. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and the pipe. Praise Him with loud-sounding cymbals; praise Him with clanging cymbals. Let every thing that has breath praise Hashem. Hallelujah.

O that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When Hashem returns the captivity of His people—Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice. And the salvation of the righteous is from Hashem, their stronghold in time of trouble. And Hashem helped them and delivered them; He will deliver them from the wicked and save them because they took refuge in Him.

A short prayer to be said after reciting the Tikkun HaKlali:

Master of the Universe, Cause of all causes and Reason for all reasons, You are above, above all, and there is nothing above You, for no thought can grasp You at all. And to You—silence is praise; and You are exalted above every blessing and praise. I seek You, I request of You, that You tunnel a path through Your hidden ways, through all the worlds down to my own spiritual evolution, to the place where I stand, as it is revealed to You, Knower of secrets. And through this path and way, shine Your light upon me, to return me in complete teshuvah (repentance) before You in truth, according to Your true will; according to the will of the choicest of creations: that I should not think in my mind any external thought, nor any thought or confusion that is against Your will. Only to cleave to pure, clear, and holy thoughts in Your service in truth, in the perception of You and in Your Torah. Incline my heart to Your testimonies (read as: Edvosecha) and give me a pure heart to serve You in truth. And from the depths of the sea, bring me out to a great light quickly and soon, the salvation of Hashem like the blink of an eye, to be enlightened with the light of life all the days I am upon the face of the earth; and may I merit to renew my youth, to return the days that passed in darkness to holiness. And may my departure from the world be like my entry: without sin. And may I merit to behold the pleasantness of Hashem and to visit His Sanctuary, which entirely speaks of His glory. Amen, Netzach, Sela, Va'ed.
