In a nutshell, my POV is that not only certain days (e.g. Yom haKippurim)
and months (e.g. Nisan) but also certain times of the day have a certain
character.  While most of those "traits" (including, for example, the
nature of times of a day based on t'filos of the Avos) seem to be based on
Torah/mesorah characterizations and/or historical accounts, we know who the
real History Maker is and can consider that the "traits" existed at least
in potential before they were revealed to us based on what occurred or was
transmitted and that their revelation is important and should be considered
in our avodas haBorei.

G'mar chasimah tovah and all the best from
