Question

Is it permitted to read the Book of Deuteronomy after midnight on Friday night? 

Thank you

Answer

Shalom uvrakha,

Even according to Kabbalah, which holds that it is preferable to avoid reading the Written Torah at night, on Shabbat night there is no concern throughout the entire night - even before midnight.

Sources: See Yabia Omer, volume 6 (Orach Chaim, siman 30, sections 3-5).

With blessings,

Hillel Meirs
