Tkhines or teḥinot (Yiddish: תְּחִנּוֹת, lit. 'supplications', pronounced [tˈxɪnəs] or Hebrew: pronounced [tχiˈnot]) may refer to Yiddish prayers and devotions, usually personal and from a female viewpoint, or collections of such prayers. They were written for Ashkenazi Jewish women who, unlike the men of the time, typically could not read Hebrew, the language of the established synagogue prayer book.
