It consists of many esoteric Kabbalah concepts including seventy commentaries according to Kabbala on the opening word of the Torah. It is attributed in most part to Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his Torah study partners. There is a custom to study Tikunei Zohar during the month of Elul through and including the High Holy Days. Kabbalists and many Hassidic books consider study of Tikunei Zohar as soul and body-cleansing and purifying. Furthermore, this period which is referred to as ‘Days of Repentance’, is an optimal time for rectifying our deeds. Many Hassidic communities promote this custom and disseminate copies of Tikunei HaTikunim for this purpose.
