Ba'al Shem Tov, Shavuot 2/בעל שם טוב על התורה·
אבשם מורי נר"ו [הבעל שם טוב] צריך ליזהר מאוד אחר התיקון שעשה בלילה שלא יפסיק בשום שיחה בטילה עד אחר שאמר במוסף קדושת כתר, כי אז עולין כל קישוטי הכלה שעשה בלילה, על כן יזהר מאוד לטהר מחשבתו, על כל פנים עד כתר זה: (סידור הר"ר שבתי ז"ל). סליק
1One must be extremely careful not to speak a single idle word from the recitation of the Tikun of [Shavuos] night4, or “Rectification,” of Shavuos night is a collection of short verses and citations drawn from the Written and Oral Torah. It is the custom of many to recite this Shavuos night. These are called the “Ornaments of the Bride,” referring to the Shechinah – the Divine Presence – which ascends to unite with G-d during the Shavuos morning prayers. until after the Kedusha prayer of Musaf.5 prayer, begins “A crown they will give to You – Kesser itnu Lecha…” For then, all the Ornaments of the Bride ascend.6, as well as the 24 possible combinations of G-d’s holy Name Ado-nai, that correspond to the Sefirah of Malchus. By reciting the Tikun of Shavuos night, one clothes the Bride – the Divine Presence – in beautiful garments that make her fit for union with the King. Thus, one should be very careful to purify his thoughts at least until this Kesser.Siddur Rav Shabsai
