Tikkun HaKlali, by R. Nachman of Breslev. [Breslev, 1821]. [Printed in the home of R. Natan Sternhertz of Nemyriv]. First edition.
Printed without title page. The title with the name of the book and its introduction appear on the first page: "Its name is appropriate - Tikkun HaKlali, because it is a tikkun of the brit called Tikkun HaKlali… R. Nachman" (page 1a).
The Tikkun HaKlali, ten chapters of Tehillim compiled by R. Nachman of Breslev to recite as a tikkun for flawing the brit. These 10 chapters contain 10 types of song which "are aspects of the 10 languages in which the book of Tehillim was written" (page 1a). The Tikkun HaKlali is also beneficial for atoning for sins in general and also advantageous for livelihood, health and spiritual and material success.
According to Breslev Chassidic tradition, R. Nachman merited the revelation of this tikkun from Heaven and highly valued it. Before his death, he said that "all who visit my gravesite and give a coin to charity and say these 10 chapters of Tehillim, in whatever manner he can, I will try with all my might to bring him good…" (page 1b). He is also reputed for saying that his life was worthwhile, even if only he came down into the world to reveal this tikkun.
This is the first edition of the composition, printed in the home of R. Natan.
After the chapters of Tehillim, the prayer Ashira L'Hashem was added on leaves 4-6. This prayer was composed by R. Natan to be recited after saying the Tikkun.
