Personalizing your Tikkun

Students practice Torah Scroll Navigation, using a popular Tikkun:  Tikkun Kor’im Hamefoar: Tikun for Reading the Torah with Instructions and Laws in Hebrew and English – A. Walzer (245 Column / 42 Line layout).

To enhance learning, each student needs access to two copies of this Tikkun:

Personal Highlighted Tikkun – Students use erasable coloring pencils and highlight the beginning text of each Aliyah.  Students may choose to use one color for the Cohen Aliyah, and another for the remaining Aliyot.  Or  a student may choose to use different colors for Aliyot in different Seforim.

Shared Masked Tikkun – Instructor uses removable ¼” white tape to cover the Column #, Sefer Name, Parashah Name information at the top of each page, and the Aliyah / Chapter, Verse information in the center of each page.  This simulates the experience one feels at the Torah Scroll, where there are no clues regarding Sefer, Parashah, Aliyah except for the text and the layout of the text.

Students practice TSN Scenarios – First using their Highlighted Tikkun and then repeat the scenario using the Masked Tikkun.
