# In order to feel pain over the churban slightly before Chatzot every night one should say Tikkun Chatzot. <Ref>S”A 1:3, Mishna Brurah 1:9 </ref> However, the minhag is not to say TIkkun Chatzot and some achronim justify the minhag, nonetheless it’s praiseworthy to say it from tiemt to time. <Ref>Piskei Teshuvot 1:10 </ref>
# One is only obligated to make a [[Bracha Achrona]] on a food if one eats a [[Kezayit]] of food in [[Kedi Achilat Pras]].<ref>Magan Avraham 210:1, Sh"t Chazon Ovadyah (Siman 12, pg 184) </ref>
# Yavetz in Mor UKesiah (Siman 1) writes that the obligation only applies to Torah scholars and in Israel. The Chida in Machzik Bracha 1:3 argues that it applies to all people in all places.  
# <span id="Kedi Achilat Pras"></span> How long is Kedi Achilat Pras?
## Shiurei Torah (Rav Chaim Noeh 3:15 pg 203) writes that Kedi Achilat Pras is 4 minutes. Vezot HaBracha (pg 6) writes that many poskim (and quotes Rav Elyashiv as one of them) agree. See Aruch HaShulchan 202:8 and Kaf HaChaim 210:8.
## Rav Ovadyah Yosef (Sh"t Yachave Daat 1:17) rules that Kedi Achilat Pras preferably is 4 minutes and after the fact (Bedieved) it is 7.5 minutes.
## Or Letzion (vol 2, 14:17) holds that Kedi Achilat Pras preferably is 4 minutes and after the fact (Bedieved) it is 6 minutes.


===Drink===
==The feelings one should feel==
# One is only obligated to make a [[Bracha Achrona]] on a drink if one drinks a [[Reviyit]] of liquid in [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]]. <ref> Vezot HaBracha (chap 5, pg 40) rules that one only makes a Bracha Achrona if one drank a [[Reviyit]] in [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]]. He supports this with the ruling of the Mishna Brurah 210:1 regarding tea. Sh"t Yabea Omer 5:18(2) agrees. </ref>
# One should be pained over the destruction of the Temple. <ref> S"A 1:3 based on the Rosh (Brachot 3b). </ref>
# <span id="Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit"></span> How long is Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit?
## The simple reading of the Shaar HaTzion 210:11 is that Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit is two gulps.
## Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 11, pg 240-1) questions this because of the difficulty of swallowing a [[Reviyit]] in two gulps. He quotes and supports the explanation of the Haggadat Kol Dodi (Siman 2) which writes that Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit is drinking a number of gulps without any break and without removing the cup from one's lips. [See Harerei Kedem (vol 2 pg 46) who quotes Rav Simcha Zissel who says that it's a third of Kedi Achilat Pras.]
## Rav Ovadyah Yosef (Sh"t Yabea Omer 5:18(2), Chazon Ovadyah (Brachot pg 259-260)) rules that Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit is one gulp. Or Letzion (vol 2, 14:17) agrees.


==Al HaMichya==
==Relevative Precedence==
# If one ate a [[Kezayit]] of mezonot food (cake, cookies, etc) after one finishes eating one should make Al HaMichya. <ref> S"A 208:1 and 210:1 </ref>
# If one only has time for Tikkun Chatzot and Selichot, one should say Tikkun Chatzot. <ref> Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 9),  Yalkut Yosef (5764 edition, vol 1, pg 191) Rav Mordechai Eliyahu (Maamer Mordechai 34:6). </ref>
# As long as there is a proportion of 1 portion of flour to 6 parts of total ingredients one may say Al HaMichya upon eating a Kezayit of that food. <ref>Chazon Ovadyah (Brachot pg 190), Birkat Hashem (vol 2, pg 166), Or Letzion (vol 2, pg 169), [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=1565 Daily Halacha (by Rabbi Mansour)] </ref>
# If one only has time for Tikkun Chatzot and learning torah, one should say Tikkun Chatzot. <ref> Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 9), Yalkut Yosef (5764 edition, vol 1, pg 174) and Rav Mordechai Eliyahu (Maamer Mordechai 34:6). </ref>


==How long does one have to make Bracha Achrona?==
==How should it be said?==
===Birkat Hamazon for bread===
# It is the practice to say Tikkun Chatzot while sitting on the floor near the doorpost witth the mezuzah. One shouldn't sit directly on the ground rather one should sit on a cloth, pillow or small bench. If the floor is tiled one can be lenient to sit directly on the floor. <ref> Yalkut Yosef (5764 edition, vol 1, pg 161) </ref>
<!-- IF ONE CHANGES THIS SECTION ALSO CHANGE IT ON THE BIRKAT HAMAZON PAGE -->
# The Minhag is to place ashes on one's head in the area where the Tefilin Shel Rosh is placed. <ref> Yalkut Yosef (5764 edition, vol 1, pg 161) </ref>
# If one ate bread and is full, preferably one should make Birkat Hamazon within 72 minutes and after the fact, one may make it as long as one is full from what one ate. However, after 72 minutes, if one is a little hungry, one can no longer make the Birkat HaMazon. <Ref> S”A 184:5 writes that one may Birkat HaMazon until one is hungry again. Vezot HaBracha (pg 49, chapter 5) and Yalkut Yosef (Brachot pg 300) rule that if one didn’t make Birkat HaMazon until after 72 minutes, one may surely recite Birkat HaMazon as long as one is still full and one isn't hungry. Vezot HaBracha quotes Rav Elyashiv who says that it’s preferable to eat a little more before making Birkat HaMazon. Aruch HaShulchan 184:7 and 8 writes that since we don't know the precise determination of when we're still full must make Birkat HaMazon within 72 minutes and if one didn't then one should eat another Kezayit and then say Birkat HaMazon. Kaf HaChaim 184:28 writes that in order to fulfill all opinions if it has been 72 minutes one should eat another Kezayit and if one doesn't have bread one may make Birkat HaMazon as long as one is full.</ref>
# Another practice is to not to wear shoes during Tikkun Chatzot. <ref> Yalkut Yosef (5764 edition, vol 1, pg 161) </ref>
# If it’s past 72 minutes and one is in doubt whether one is still full one can make Birkat HaMazon, yet, it’s preferable to eat another [[Kezayit]] before making Birkat Hamazon. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 184:15, Vezot HaBracha (pg 49, chapter 5) </ref>
# Some had the practice to say Tikkun Chatzot communally in shul, even though some oppose the practice, it has what to rely on and has it's benefits. <ref> Sh"t Shevut Yacov writes that the practice of some groups to get together to say TIkkun Chatzot at night in Shul was inappropriate because it displayed arrogance as Tikkun Chatzot is something only a minority of people keep. However, Chida in Birkei Yosef 1:3 and Mishna Brurah 1:9 argue on the Shevut Yacov because it's preferable to pray as a community as it says "BeRov Am Hadrat Melech". </ref>  
# However, if one just had a Kezayit and was not full, one should try to make the Birkat HaMazon right away and if one didn't one may only make Birkat HaMazon up to 72 minutes after one ate. <ref> Yalkut Yosef (Brachot pg 300), Mishna Brurah 184:20 </ref> Some add that if one waited more than a half hour it's preferable to have another Kezayit of bread before making Birkat HaMazon. <ref>Vezot HaBracha (chap 5, pg 50) </ref>
# If one has a very long meal and continues to have appetizers or drinks, one may make the Birkat HaMazon as long as the meal continues even 4 or 5 hours. <ref> Mishna Brurah 184:18, Vezot HaBracha (chap 5, pg 50), Yalkut Yosef (Brachot pg 301) </ref> One should have something to eat or drink every 72 minutes, however, if one didn't then one may still say Birkat HaMazon. <ref>Vezot HaBracha (chap 5, pg 51) quoting the Magan Avraham 184:9 </ref>


===Bracha Achrona on other foods===
==When should Tikkun Chatzot be said?==
# If one ate any food and is full, preferably one should make Bracha Achrona within 72 minutes and after the fact, one may make it as long as one is full from what one ate. However, after 72 minutes, if one is a little hungry, one can no longer make the Bracha Achrona. <Ref> S"A 184:5, Mishna Brurah 184:19, Vezot HaBracha (pg 49-50, chapter 5) </ref>
# Ashkenazim hold that it should be said right before Chatzot and then one should learn from Chatzot until morning when one can pray. <ref> Mikdash Melech on Zohar (Vayahakel 195c) writes the Tikkun Chatzot can be said from the second section of the night which is 2 hours (Shaot Zmaniot) before Chatzot. Shulchan Aruch HaRav rules like that. Similarly, Yeshuot Yacov 1 writes that Chatzot should be said a little before Chatzot. So rule the Malbim in Arsot HaChaim 1:31 and Mishna Brurah 1:9. </ref> However, Sephardim hold that it should be said at Chatzot of night or afterwards until [[Olot HaShachar]]. <ref> Sh"t Yachave Daat 1:46 pg 135 based on the Zohar (Chaye Sara pg 132b) and Arizal (Shaar Kavanot pg 52d) that one should not say Tikkun Chatzot before Chatzot. So rules Aruch HaShulchan 1:21, Birkei Yosef 1:6, Ben Ish Chai (Vishlach 4), Yalkut Yosef (5764 edition, vol 1, pg 165), and Halacha Brurah 1:5 </ref>
# If it’s past 72 minutes and one is in doubt whether one is still full one may not make the Bracha Achrona, yet, it’s preferable to eat a [[Kezayit]] of another food make a Bracha Achrona on that to cover the earlier one. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 50, chapter 5) </ref>
# On shouldn't say Tikkun Chatzot after [[Olot HaShachar]]. However one can be lenient to say Tikkun Leah after [[Olot HaShachar]]. <ref> Igret Rramaz 11 writes that one should say it before [[Olot HaShachar]] and in a Shat HaDachak one can say it after Olot. This is brought down by the Shaarei Teshuva 1:6. However, Sh"t Lev Chaim writes that one can say it until the time to put on Talit and Tefilin. Ben Ish Chai Vayishlach 8 argues on this based on the language of the Arizal that one shouldn't say it after Olot. Nonetheless, Zichronot Eliyahu 400:17 and Nemukei Orach Chaim (quoted in Maasef LeKol HaMachanot 1:29) say that one can lenient regarding Tikkun Leah. So rules Rav Ovadyah in Halichot Olam 1 pg 49, and Halacha Brurah 1:6. </ref>
# If one ate any food and was not full, preferably one should make Bracha Achrona immediately or within 30 minutes, after the fact one has up to 72 minutes. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 184:20, Vezot HaBracha (pg 50, chapter 5) </ref>
# Women may say Tikkun Chatzot. <ref> Sh"t Rav Poalim 1:9 (Sod Yesharim), Ben Ish Chai Vayishlach 6 write that women shouldn't say Tikkun Chatzot. However, Kaf HaChaim 1:15, Halichot Olam 1 pg 48, and Halacha Brurah 7 write that women are allowed to say Tikkun Chatzot. Yalkut Yosef (vol 1, pg 173) rules like the Kaf HaChaim but writes that the minhag is that women don't say Tikkun Chatzot. </ref>
# During the three weeks (Ben HaMetzarim), Tikkun Chatzot should be said after Chatzot of the day. <ref> Kaf HaChaim 551:222. Hinted to in Mishna Brurah 551:103, see Piskei Teshuvot there. </ref>

==On what days is it not said?==
# If one drank a [[Reviyit]] in [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]], one should make a Bracha Achrona immediately and after the fact one may make the Bracha Achrona as long as one’s thirst is quenched. <Ref>S”A 184:5, Vezot HaBracha (pg 51, chapter 5) </ref>
# On the following nights no Tikkun Chatzot is said: Shabbat, <ref> Shaarei Tzion (beginning of sefer) writes that one does say Tikkun Leah on Shabbat, nonetheless, most achronim rule otherwise including the Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 7), Kaf HaChaim 1:13, and Halacha Brurah 1:8. </ref> Rosh HaShana, [[Yom Kippur]],Pesach ([[Yom Tov]] and Chol HaMoed),Shavuot, Sukkot (just [[Yom Tov]]), and Shemini Aseret. <ref> Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 7), Kaf HaChaim 1:13, and Halacha Brurah 1:8 quote this list of days that there's no Tikkun Chatzot. Of course one doesn't say Tikkun Chatzot on [[Yom Tov]] Sheni Shel Galiyot just like the first day [[Yom Tov]]. However, Chesed LaAlafim 1:2, and Kaf HaChaim Palagi 3:34 write that one does say Tikkun Leah on [[Yom Tov]]. </ref>
# If one is unsure whether one is thirsty and one’s thirst is no longer quenched from the original drink, should make the Bracha Achrona within 30 minutes, and afterwards one should make the Bracha Achrona but rather preferably one should eat or drink something else and cover the earlier food with it’s Bracha Achrona. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 51, chapter 5) </ref>
# On the following nights no Tikkun Rachel is said, but Tikkun Leah is still said: days when there's no Tachanun, Chol HaMoad Sukkot, Asert Yemei Teshuva, year of Shemittah in Israel, day after the Molad before Rosh Chodesh, <ref> Ben Ish Chai Vayishlach 5, Kaf HaChaim 1:11, Halacha Brurah 1:9 write that the night of the day of the molad has only Tikkun Leah even if it's not the day of Rosh Chodesh itself.

# If one did drank a [[Reviyit]] in [[Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit]] and it will be 30 minutes before the next time one drinks or one is unsure whether it will be 30 minutes before one drinks again, according to Ashkenazim, one should make a Bracha Achrona and a Bracha Rishona for the next time one drinks. <Ref> Vezot HaBracha (pg 52-3, chapter 5) </ref> However, according to Sephardim, one should not make a Bracha Achrona but rather have in mind when making the first Bracha Rishona that it should cover all of the drinks that one has. However, if one leaves the building one would require another Bracha Rishona. <ref>Yalkut Yosef 494:9</ref>
