« By studying Torah at night, one draws down divine knowledge from the Temple; thus, in the morning, one merits receiving a thread of grace — expressed through the threads of the tzitzit. » (Likutey Halakhot, Rabbi Nathan of Breslov)
Night is a special time. The world grows quiet, eyes close, and the soul can finally hear what it misses in the brightness of day. Rabbi Nathan reveals a precious secret: nighttime Torah study draws down divine knowledge, a wisdom that originates in the Temple — where God’s light was most clearly revealed.
This knowledge is not just intellectual. It is an inner light, a quiet grace that descends upon one who stays awake to learn. And in the morning, Rabbi Nathan teaches, that light finds expression in the tzitzit — threads of gentleness, presence, and connection.
Studying Torah at night is entering into an intimate conversation with Hashem. It’s saying, “Even in darkness, I seek You.” And in return, one receives a new clarity — a light that precedes the sunrise.
