Hasidut untuk Mazmur 42:5

And this is the aspect of rising at Chatzot (middle of the halachic night) which requires a person to strengthen himself very much to rise in the middle of the night to greatly mourn over the destruction of the Holy Temple. Through this is the essence of the elevation of Malchut/Kingship from the externalities and the kelipot, as explained above and as is known in the kavanot (mystical meditations). For when a person mourns the destruction of the Holy Temple, as if he himself engaged in its construction, 'for all who mourn', etc., he merits to see its future joy (Taanit 30b). Through this, a person draws down upon himself the holiness of the Holy Temple, the location of the essence of the Light of the Face which is drawn down on the Three Festivals. For at that time it was required to go up to the Holt Temple to see the Face of G-d, to receive the Light of the Face, as it is written there in the Torah as explained above. We find that the essence of the Light of the Face is in the Holy Temple and therefore one must rise at Chatzot and to greatly mourn over the destruction of the Holy Temple. Through this, one merits according to his aspect to see the its (the Temple's) future joy and to drawn down upon oneself from there the vitality from the Light of the Face which illuminates all creatures from there in the aspect of Malchut, the aspect of Lower Wisdom, in order to merit the perception of G-dliness, as explained above. And this is the remembrance of the elevation of the Festivals through the rectification of chatzot in the Psalm (Psalms 42:2) "Like a hind crying" as it is written (Psalms 42:5) "When I think of this," etc., "how I walked with the crowd, moved with them, the festive throng, to the House of G-d". This is they used go up for the Festival to the Holy Temple, as in the explanation of Rashi there. This is the aspect of three times 'face' is mentioned there, as it is written there (Psalms 42:6) "Why so downcast, my soul", etc. "I will yet praise Him for His saving face". These three times correspond to the three times during the year, which are the three Festivals where people used to go up (to the Temple) to receive the Light of the Face, as explained above. Therefore it is necessary to engage in Torah study at midnight because each and every letter of the Holy Torah are all measures and holy contractions to perceive His Blessed G-dliness. Through this, as it is written there, and by the Torah one engages in at night, one draws down a thread of holiness during the day, as our Sages of Blessed Memory stated (Chagigah 12). By this Chesed/Lovingkindness, one shortens and cuts the Malchut and builds it in wholeness at the rise of the dawn, in the aspect of (Isaiah 16:5) "And a throne shall be established in goodness", as explained above in the Torah brought above, and as is understood in the kavanot.
