Tikun Klali (Transliterated English) – pocket size
Despair is not only meaningless, but it can lead to an even lower fall. But how can a person escape despair when he realizes the seriousness of these moral crimes? Repentance always helps, and most importantly, do not repeat your evil deeds. Rabbi Nachman teaches that a person can completely correct the sin of breaking the covenant if, after repenting, he immerses in a mikvah and reads the following Psalms (in order): 16, 32, 41,42, 59, 77, 90, 105 , 137, 150. After that, a person should continue to strive for excellence, without worrying about what happened. These ten Psalms are known as Tikkun Klali. In Likutey Moharan (1: 29), Rabbi Nachman explains that if a person can correct the sins associated with breaking the Covenant (that is, with a sin that includes all other sins), he will also correct everything else. Therefore, the correction ("tikun") of the Covenant is called the Tikun Klali ("General Correction").
