Sweetening the Judgments - Reciting the Tikkun HaKlali with the Esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland shlit"a

On Thursday, the 8th of Tammuz 5772, at the Winter Stadium in Ramat Gan, the awakening gathering of the esteemed Rabbi Eliezer Berland took place. More than 7,000 people gathered together to hear words that no ear has heard. At that event, the Rav shlit"a played the Tikkun HaKlali with the well-known and moving melody, with the entire audience participating with him together.

The virtue of reciting the Tikkun HaKlali is well-known, about which Rebbe Nachman said: "To rectify all the sins individually is very numerous and burdensome for a person, and it is impossible to rectify them, because there are many details and nuances in each prohibition. ...There are narrow and fine places that no rectification can reach, except through the Tikkun HaKlali" (Likutei Moharan 29:4) and "it is a very great and awesome rectification" (Sichot HaRan 141). Furthermore, our Rebbe added and said: "And if one says them with proper intention, certainly how good it is. However, even the recitation itself is very effective" (Sichot HaRan there). And he also said: "I am strong in all my teachings, but in this I am strongest, that these ten chapters of Psalms are very, very beneficial!" (Sichot HaRan there).

Rebbe Nachman expressed that due to the great importance of the matter, tzaddikim throughout the generations have engaged in finding an appropriate rectification for all the sins and defects and corruptions in the actions and sins of man, "Hashem has been good to me and allowed me to reveal this wonderful rectification to the world." After Rebbe Nachman revealed the Tikkun HaKlali, he instructed: Go and reveal to the world the "Tikkun HaKlali."

What could be better than participating in the recitation of the Tikkun HaKlali together with the voice of the tzaddik, accompanied by the spirit of the Shechinah.
