Immerse in any kosher Mikva 3 times for each victim of this cause. On the first dip have in mind that you are removing impurity. On the second dip have in mind that you are bringing down holiness and on the 3rd dip have in mind that you are elevating the soul. Any kosher Mikva can be used for this Tikkun but no Bidieved solutions like swimming pools.

  1. Go inside the Mikva, have in mind that you are going to going to do a set of 3 immersions in merit of a victim of this cause.
  2. Do the 1st immersion and have in mind that you are removing impurity from yourself and from the soul you are doing the Tikkun for if it is needed.
  3. Do the 2nd immersion and have in mind that you are drawing holiness upon yourself and to the soul you are doing the Tikkun for if it is needed.
  4. Do the 3rd immersion and have in mind that you are doing it for the elevation of the soul that you are doing the Tikkun for.
  5. If you are planing on doing multiple sets of immersions try to take break in between each one and have in mind that you are immersing in merit of a different victims of this cause. It is also fine to upfront have in mind that you will be immersing multiple times for multiple victims of this cause.

After the vote in favor of the partition of Palestine, the Syrian Government abetted and organized Aleppo's Arab inhabitants to attack the city's Jewish population. The exact number of those killed remains unknown, but estimates of those killed are put at around 75, with several hundred Jews wounded. Ten synagogues, five schools, an orphanage and a youth club, along with various Jewish shops and 150 houses were set ablaze and destroyed. Damaged property was estimated to be valued at US$2.5m. During the pogrom the Aleppo Codex, an important medieval manuscript of the Torah was lost and feared destroyed. The book reappeared (with pages missing) in Israel in 1958.

Following the attack, the Jewish community went into a steep decline. The wealthy Jews escaped the day after the pogrom and many more fled in small groups in subsequent months. Their property was forfeited and on December 22 the Syrian Government enacted a law forbidding Jews from selling their property. Within years after the pogroms, most Jews left Aleppo, a large majority of them to Israel.
