Which passages comprise the classic Tikkun Leil Shavuot?

Question

As we count down to Shavuot, I find myself wondering:

[First, some background for those who don't know what a Tikkun Leil Shavuot is]

According to tradition, we overslept the morning of Matan Torah (the giving of the Torah), and to "repair" our behavior on the night of the original Shavuot, the kabbalists created a practice, called Tikkun Leil Shavuot (Repairing the Night of Shavuot), in which we stay up all night learning what is, in effect, the Readers Digest of Jewish Texts --- the opening and closing verses of every book of the Bible, along with other key passages from the Bible and the Oral Law. At sunrise we then pray the morning service.

Except that in practice that's not what's done. Lots of synagogues have what they call a Tikkun Leil Shavuot of some sort --- but it's usually some sort of targeted teaching and learning. Our shul, for instance, has a series of a half-dozen lectures set up for the adults, plus a separate overnight learning program for teens, and even a shorter program (that ends at 8:30pm) for the younger kids.

Here's my question: I've never seen anyone do the original Tikkun Leil Shavuot. I've never even been able to find a copy of the Arizal's list of what texts comprise the evening's program. Searching with Google is getting me lots of programs run by this shul or that shul, but not the Arizal's list. Hebrew Wikipedia has a partial list.

So: What is the complete list of texts that are learned as part of the original Tikkun Leil Shavuot?

Answer 1

I have a volume at hand titled "Seder Tikun L'lel Shavuos V'hosha'na Raba Hashalem Im T'hilim", published in 1964 by "Or Habahir" in Israel. I'm not about to list in detail all the texts included in its Shavuos litany (sorry), but here's what they are briefly:

• An introductory prayer.
• The beginning and end of each "parsha", in order. (Collated. I mean, the end of B'reshis follows its beginning rather than following the beginning of B'racha.) But some key texts, like the shira of B'shalach and the dibros are included also.
• An indication that kadish is said.
• The beginning and end of each sefer of Nach. The order used is the usual one rather than the one from Bava Basra. The t're asar are treated as one book. Again, certain key texts are also included, including some t'hilim.
• An indication that kadish yasom is said.
• The beginning and end of each maseches of mishnayos.
• An indication that kadish d'rabanan is said.
• Part (I'm guessing the beginning and end, but have no idea) of Sefer Y'tzira.
• An indication that kadish yasom is said.
• What appears to be an excerpt from the Zohar on Emor about Shavuos.
• An indication that kadish d'rabanan is said.
• An introductory prayer.
• A list of the mitzvos.
• Rabi Chananya ben Akashya omer...
• Something titled Idra Raba L'shavuos (I have no idea what it is).
• An indication that Rabi Chananya ben Akashya omer... and kadish are said.
• A concluding prayer.

Incidentally, re the question's "I've never seen anyone do" something like this: I have.

Answer 3

From Wikipedia:

The Tikkun Leil Shavuot ("Rectification for Shavuot Night") consists of excerpts from the beginning and end of each of the 24 books of Tanakh (including the reading in full of several key sections such as the account of the days of creation, The Exodus, the giving of the Ten Commandments and the Shema) and the 63 books of Mishnah. This is followed by the reading of Sefer Yetzirah, the 613 commandments as enumerated by Maimonides, and excerpts from the Zohar, with opening and concluding prayers. The whole reading is divided into thirteen parts, after each of which a Kaddish di-Rabbanan is recited when the Tikkun is studied in a group of at least ten Jewish, Bar Mitzvahed men.

You can buy a copy of sefer Kriei Moed, which contains tikkun leil shavuot, from MySefer.com. You can also find it online from hebrewbooks.org.

Answer 4

In the Rodelheim tikkun, all the Tanach and Shas parts as mentioned above will be found, but minus any of the Zohar, Sefer HeYetzira, etc. mentioned.
