The Way to Read the Tikkun

The Way to Read the Tikkun

Chassidus explains that at the Giving of the Torah, each Jew was given the ability [to study Torah on a level] that “the Torah law that leaves their mouths is the very word of G-d that was told to Moshe at Sinai.” Further, our Sages state that “whoever reads and studies Torah causes G-d to read and study in conjunction with themselves.”

When a Jew is engaged in Torah, he should “not consider the words he utters to be his own, but rather, the literal word of G-d.”

When we read or study Torah with all this in mind, “awe and fear will fall upon him as if he had received the Torah today at Sinai”—causing us to study “with the same awe, fear, trembling and perspiration as we experienced at Sinai.”
