Tikkun Chatzot on Chanukah
Question
Does one recite Tikkun Chatzot on Chanukah, and if so, should both Rachel and Leah be recited, or just Leah? Thank you very much.
Answer
Greetings,
On any day where there is Nefilat Apayim, the Tikkun for Rachel is not recited, only the Tikkun for Leah (as stated by the Chazon Ish in his commentary on the Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 3:30). Since on Chanukah there is no Nefilat Apayim, only the Tikkun for Leah should be recited.
