Pious individuals recite [[Tikkun Chatzot]] which are said slightly before [[Chatzot]] (midnight) out of mourning for the Beit HaMikdash. It is split into two parts, known as [https://www.sefaria.org/Siddur_Edot_HaMizrach%2C_The_Midnight_Rite%2C_Tikkun_Rachel?lang=bi Tikkun Rachel] and [https://www.sefaria.org/Siddur_Edot_HaMizrach%2C_The_Midnight_Rite%2C_Tikkun_Leah?lang=bi Tikkun Leah].

	# In order to feel pain over the destruction of the Bet HaMikdash, every night slightly before [[Chatzot]], one should recite [[Tikkun Chatzot]].<Ref>Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 1:3 writes that it is proper for a God fearing person to be pained and agonize over the destruction of the Bet Hamikdash. Mishna Brurah 1:9 writes that the Mekubalim emphasized the great importance of [[waking up]] at [[chatzot]] to say the Seder of Tefillot organized by the Arizal, printed in the siddurim. </ref> Although, the Minhag is not to require [[Tikkun Chatzot]] and some Achronim justify the minhag, nonetheless, it’s praiseworthy to say it from time to time. <Ref>Piskei Teshuvot 1:10. Yavetz in Mor UKesiah ([[Siman 1]]) writes that the obligation only applies to Torah scholars and in [[Israel]]. The Chida in Machzik Bracha 1:3 argues that it applies to all people in all places. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 1:5 writes that it’s good to say Tikkun [[Chatzot]] if a person is able to wake up at [[Chatzot]] and say Tikkun Chatzot. Eshel Avraham 1:2 writes emphatically that there's no reason at all to critique someone who doesn't say tikkun chatzot because he is sleeping at that time. If a person sleeps a normal amount of time to stay healthy that is a grounds to exempt him from tikkun chatzot. However, if a person is up, then he should say or think about some of the pesukim about the churban. Orchot Maran (v. 1 p. 4) writes that Rav Ovadia Yosef didn't say Tikkun Chatzot, because he was involved in learning Torah at that time and it would have caused a great interruption for his concentration to say Tikkun Chatzot. However, he would advise those who weren't established in learning to say Tikkun Chatzot. Rav Ben Tzion Abba Shaul (Or LeTzion 2:4:8) is quoted as recommending it for everybody.</ref>		# In order to feel pain over the destruction of the Bet HaMikdash, every night slightly before [[Chatzot]], one should recite [[Tikkun Chatzot]].<Ref>Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 1:3 writes that it is proper for a God fearing person to be pained and agonize over the destruction of the Bet Hamikdash.
