200. רַבִּי חִזְקִיָּה הָיָה יוֹשֵׁב לִפְנֵי רַבִּי יִצְחָק. קָמוּ בַחֲצוֹת הַלַּיְלָה לִלְמֹד תּוֹרָה. פָּתַח רַבִּי יִצְחָק וְאָמַר, (תהלים קלד) הִנֵּה בָּרְכוּ אֶת ה’ כָּל עַבְדֵי ה’ וְגוֹ’. הַפָּסוּק הַזֶּה הֲרֵי פֵּרְשׁוּהוּ הַחֲבֵרִים וַהֲרֵי נִתְבָּאֵר, אֲבָל הַשֶּׁבַח הַזֶּה הוּא שֶׁל כָּל בְּנֵי הָאֱמוּנָה, וּמִי הֵם בְּנֵי הָאֱמוּנָה? אוֹתָם שֶׁמִּשְׁתַּדְּלִים בַּתּוֹרָה וְיוֹדְעִים לְיַחֵד אֶת הַשֵּׁם הַקָּדוֹשׁ כָּרָאוּי. וְהַשֶּׁבַח שֶׁל אוֹתָם בְּנֵי הָאֱמוּנָה, אוֹתָם שֶׁעוֹמְדִים בַּחֲצוֹת הַלַּיְלָה לַעֲסֹק בַּתּוֹרָה וְנִדְבָּקִים בִּכְנֶסֶת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְשַׁבֵּחַ אֶת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בְּדִבְרֵי תוֹרָה.
201. בֹּא רְאֵה, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁאָדָם קָם בַּחֲצוֹת הַלַּיְלָה לַעֲסֹק בַּתּוֹרָה וְרוּחַ צָפוֹן מִתְעוֹרֶרֶת בַּחֲצוֹת הַלַּיְלָה, אוֹתָהּ אַיֶּלֶת עוֹמֶדֶת וּמְשַׁבַּחַת אֶת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא. וּבְשָׁעָה שֶׁהִיא עוֹמֶדֶת, כַּמָּה אֲלָפִים וְכַמָּה רְבָבוֹת עוֹמְדִים עִמָּהּ בִּמְקוֹמָם, וְכֻלָּם מַתְחִילִים לְשַׁבֵּחַ אֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ הַקָּדוֹשׁ.

Zohar Vayikra
Continued from previous DZ
#200
Rabbi Ḥizkiyah was sitting before Rabbi Yitzchak. They rose at midnight to engage in Torah study. Rabbi Yitzhak opened and said: “הִנֵּה בָּרְכוּ אֶת ה’ כָּל עַבְדֵי ה'” “Behold, bless Hashem, all you servants of Hashem…” (Psalms 134:1). This verse—the friends have already established and taught its meaning. But this praise is for all those who are called “בְּנֵי הָאֱמוּנָה” ‘the children of faith.’ And who are the children of faith (Bnei Emunah)? They are those who engage in Torah study and know how to properly unify the Holy Name. And the praise of these children of faith is that they rise at midnight to study Torah, and they attach themselves to Congregation of Israel, which is Malchut, To praise the Holy One, Blessed be He, through words of Torah.
#201
Come and see: At the moment when a person rises at midnight to study Torah, and the northern wind—which is the illumination of the left side (Gevurah)—awakens at midnight, that doe—which is the Shechinah (Malchut)—stands and praises the Holy One, Blessed be He, who is Zeir Anpin. And at the moment that she (the Shechinah) stands, many thousands and tens of thousands stand with her, and all begin to praise the Holy King.

Notes:
When a person gets up at midnight to study Torah, they are not alone—they join the awakening of the Shechinah, and countless spiritual beings rise with her to praise Hashem. The northern wind (Gevurah) initiates the process, but the Torah learning sweetens and elevates it, turning judgment into praise and darkness into light.
This passage beautifully portrays how one act of devotion—a single soul rising in the night—can awaken heaven itself, uplift Hashem’s presence, and bring harmony to all the worlds.
