Finally, we explore the Torah’s view on the night — from the simple act of sleeping to the mysterious world of dreams. We’ll see how Chazal and the Rambam guide us on healthy, purposeful rest, how kabbalistic and Chassidic teachings describe the soul’s ascent at night, and how dreams can range from meaningless images to profound messages from Above.
