At the end of the tikkun, there are Kabbalistic excerpts from Sefer Yetzirah and Zohar pertaining to the Giving of the Torah and Shavuos. In many prints of the tikkun, these excerpts contain a number of mistakes. Those using these editions should note these corrections.
The end of the excerpt from Sefer Yetzirah reads:
... (Hebrew text) ...
This is incorrect, in my opinion. Not only does it strangely fail to conclude on a positive note, but it also fails to make sense. Rather, it should read according to the many books of Sefer Yetzirah that are printed as a separate volume:
... (corrected Hebrew text) ...
In many versions of the tikkun, including the Slavuta edition, there is a quote from Rashbi, beginning:
... (Hebrew text) ...
This quote concludes with two passages. However, in the original source in Zohar, a third passage appears. The tikkun should therefore be amended to read:
... (corrected Hebrew text) ...
We should publicize these amendments and print a correction sheet with the accurate excerpts.
Since we are permitted to carry on Shavuos, we can bring the tikkun to the synagogue together with a copy of the correction sheet.
