There are times when a person wishes to pause everyday life and renew their connection with their inner world. You can contact Rabbi Emanuel Shahar about prayer, tikkun practices and traditional spiritual guidance.
The word tikkun, or repair, may express a wish to return to values, strengthen good conduct or make room for prayer during a significant period. In conversation, you can clarify your concerns, what you would like to change and which small action might express that intention in life. The process begins by listening to the personal request.
Before joining a prayer or tikkun, ask the Rabbi about the wording, its source and how to participate. Understanding its meaning supports an informed and voluntary approach. Clarify the practical arrangements in advance and what, if anything, is expected of participants.
Spiritual renewal may include study, prayer, doing good and attention to relationships. There is no need to see every difficulty as proof of a spiritual flaw, and this page does not promise that a particular ritual will remove a problem. You can inquire about what suits your request and give the process a considered place in daily life.
