Kavanot for Ashes

Putting on a sack and ashes is a very big Tikun
The best time to do so is during a fast, Tikun Chatzot and when doing Vidoy

• This Tikun goes very well together with the sack.
• There are many references to ashes used as part of the process to attain forgiveness.
• Daniel 9 "To pray and beg while fasting and wearing sackcloth and ashes". Ester 4 "He dressed in sackcloth and ashes"....

Burn some paper or a match until it turns to ash. Now place some on top of your head under Kipa and where you place your Tifilin.
