Abstract
Three independent motives merged in medieval kabbalistic literature: praising God,mourning over the destruction of the Temple, and the study of Torah. Spanishkabbalists would rise at midnight in order to sing praises to God and also to mournthe destruction of the Temple. The study of Torah at midnight appears in many placesin the Zohar as a custom of kabbalists and Torah students. In Lurianic Kabbalah thismotif is even further developed. In the sixteenth century various orders of servicewere created, some brief and others lengthy. This article traces the kabbalistic customof awaking in the middle of the night, and likewise the custom ofTiqun Hazzot , andthe history of its appearance in seventeenth-century prayer books
