We understand that just as a person has clothing in this world, so too does the soul (נשמה) have clothing in the next world. These garments are spiritual and are formed from the Torah and mitzvot that a person accumulates during their lifetime.
No one is perfect, and a person may have his imperfections and sins. However, this does not prevent their Torah and good deeds from providing benefit. Rather, these spiritual garments may become worn, torn, or incomplete. The sorrow experienced by the soul in such a state is profound. It is not sufficient to say, “I have many mitzvot, and they will serve as clothing for the soul,” because such statements do not help the soul that finds itself in this condition. According to Ari z”l in Shaar HaGilgulim (שער הגלגולים), no mitzvah alone is sufficient to erase a transgression.
First, the soul must atone for its wrongdoing, and only afterwards does it receive the reward for its mitzvot. The soul may be subject to light or severe punishments, which can last for many years and may include the punishment of Kaf HaKelah (כף הקלע). Only after the soul has accumulated sufficient merit does it enter Gehinnom, and even then for no longer than twelve months.
In conclusion, Rabbi Yehudah Petaya writes in Sefer HaNeshamot (ספר הנשמות) that it is possible to assist such a soul through a Tikun (תיקון). This Tikun involves specific recitations of Tehillim (תהילים) and the study of Kabbalistic texts, which help elevate the soul to a higher level and overcome the punishments intended to purify it.

What Can We Do?
We, the friends and family of the deceased, can help and bring comfort to the soul. When necessary, we may assist in rescuing it from Kaf HaKelah and from the cycles of reincarnation through the inanimate, plant, animal, and human realms, including the realm of Gehinnom, where the soul is judged. This is accomplished by pouring out our prayers and seeking forgiveness from the King of the Universe on behalf of the departed.
This is done by gathering ten worthy men who are knowledgeable in sacred texts to perform the Order of Rectification (Tikun) for the deceased. Even when the deceased is not personally known to the assembly performing the Tikun, it may still be carried out, provided the individual’s details are supplied in advance. Up to four Tikunim may be required to bring relief to the soul, or until such time as the soul appears in our dreams fully clothed in clean garments, peaceful and content.
When necessary, this Tikun may be performed for a single soul up to thirteen times. Ideally, the departed will appear in our dreams looking happy and at ease. It is praiseworthy to perform the Tikun at least once, and preferably within the seven days of mourning, as the soul benefits by being spared Chibbut HaKever (חיבוט הקבר).
The day after we performed the spiritual rectification, I met a man earlier that morning. He told me that during the night following the rectification, he saw the deceased whose names he had submitted for the rectification, as if he himself were burying them anew.From this, he understood with complete clarity that through the rectification carried out on their names, those souls merited a complete and proper burial, as though until that moment their burial had not been fully completed. This testimony deeply strengthened my faith in the power of the rectification — a power that continues to act even after a person departs this world, bringing completion and true rest to souls through hidden paths of mercy

The rabbi who performs the rectification shared a personal testimony about an event that happened to him himself. On one occasion, his wife submitted the name of her grandmother for the rectification. After the rectification was completed, they were shown a special vision in a dream. In the dream, the grandmother was seen ascending a staircase, step by step, until she reached a closed door. She tried to open it but could not, and she stood there waiting for it to be opened for her. After some time, his wife — her granddaughter — was the one who opened the door for her, and the grandmother entered. The moment she entered, her face was illuminated with a great light, and her entire presence was radiant and shining, filled with joy and serenity beyond doubt. The rabbi testified that through this, he understood that the rectification had accomplished its purpose — the gate was opened, and the soul merited to enter its corrected place, in light, mercy, and true rest

Another story from this past week: Honored Rabbi, thank God that we have a messenger like you who awakens and strengthens us. Recently, a man who was once a neighbor of my parents came to us especially to share something that moved us deeply. He told us that last night he dreamed of my mother and father, dressed like royalty, their faces radiant and filled with great joy. It is important to note that previously, we ourselves had dreamed of my parents in a troubling state, which caused us much sorrow and concern. And now, without knowing anything about those dreams, and without knowing anything about the rectification you performed, he came and shared a completely opposite vision—one filled with light. This testimony touched our hearts profoundly and strengthened our faith that things are indeed taking place in the heavens, and that the rectification bears fruits of light, joy, and comfort for the souls. Thank you so much, Honored Rabbi. May God bring you joy and grant you strength to continue your holy mission
