שָׁמַעְתִּי מִפִּיו הַקָּדוֹשׁ: שֶׁבִּימֵי אֱלוּל שֶׁנּוֹהֲגִין יִשְׂרָאֵל לוֹמַר תִּקּוּנִים וּתְפִלּוֹת וּבַקָּשׁוֹת אַחַר הַתְּפִלָּה וְכוּ', וּמְאַחֲרִין יוֹתֵר בְּבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת וּבְבֵית הַמִּדְרָשׁ.
I heard this from the Rebbe’s own holy lips: It is customary to recite the Tikkuney Zohar as well as many prayers and petitions after the regular services during the month of Elul. It is also a custom to stay in the synagogue and study hall later than usual.
אָמַר: שֶׁמֵּהַנִּגּוּן שֶׁל הַתִּקּוּנִים וּמַה שֶּׁהַלֵּב כּוֹאֵב וְחָלַשׁ מֵחֲמַת שֶׁמִּתְאַחֲרִין בְּבֵית הַמִּדְרָשׁ, מִכָּל זֶה נַעֲשִׂין דְּבָרִים גְּבוֹהִים וּגְדוֹלִים לְמַעְלָה.
The Rebbe said, “The melody of the Tikkuney Zohar and the fatigue resulting from staying so late in the study hall are all taken on high and made into great and lofty things” (see “His Wisdom” #127).
