Baqashot
The Baqashot (or "bakashot", שירת הבקשות) are a collection of supplications, songs, and prayers that have been sung by the Sephardic Aleppian Jewish community and other congregations for centuries each week on Shabbat (Sabbath) morning "from midnight till dawn". Usually they are recited during the weeks of winter, when the nights are much longer.
