What is a Tikun

In Hebrew, the word "Tikun" has different meanings. It can be understood as reparation or rectification, and also as function, relation or action.

There are different types of Tikunim:
- Tikunim that took place in the first emanations to repair the worlds.
- Tikunim for the construction and inter-relations of the Sephirot and Partsufim (configurations).
- Tikunim of certain Partsufim (function or action) for the guidance of the worlds.
- Tikunim (rectifications) for the souls.
