# One should be very careful about Birchot HaTorah to say them before learning. <Ref>S”A 47:1 </ref>The [[Brachot]] should be said with great Simcha (happiness) that we’re fortunate to be chosen and be privileged with the Torah. <ref>Mishna Brurah 47:4 </ref> | # One should be very careful about Birchot HaTorah to say them before learning.<Ref>S”A 47:1</ref> The [[Brachot]] should be said with great [[Simcha]] (happiness) that we’re fortunate to be chosen and be privileged with the Torah. <ref>Mishna Brurah 47:4 </ref> | ||
# Before one learns Torah one must recite the Birchot HaTorah <ref> Ramban in Sefer HaMitzvot of the Rambam adds Birkat HaTorah as a Mitzvah Deoritta based on Gemara [[Brachot]] which learns these [[Brachot]] from the Pasuk ''“Ki Shem Hashem Ekrah Havu Godel LeElokenu"''. See Ramban there and Minchat [[Chinuch]] 430:5 who classify these [[Brachot]] as [[Brachot]] of praise. Because of the dispute in the Rishonim whether these [[Brachot]] are Deoritta or Derabanan the rule of [[Safek Brachot LeHakel]] still applies. </ref> | # Before one learns Torah one must recite the Birchot HaTorah <ref> Ramban in Sefer HaMitzvot of the Rambam adds Birkat HaTorah as a Mitzvah Deoritta based on Gemara [[Brachot]] which learns these [[Brachot]] from the Pasuk ''“Ki Shem Hashem Ekrah Havu Godel LeElokenu"''.

# If one didn't sleep all night, such as on the night of [[Shavuot]], there's a dispute whether one should make Birchot HaTorah. According to Ashkenazim, one should try to hear the [[Brachot]] from someone else, and then say some pesukim afterwards. If one is unable to do that, one should have intent that one's Bracha of Ahava Rabba should count for Birchot HaTorah, and then learn after [[Tefillah]].<ref>Mishna Brurah 47:28, Rabbi Hershel Schachter (cited by Bet Yitzchak vol 30, p. 592). The side that says one should say it views Birchas HaTorah as similar to other Birchos Hashachar, which are said every morning, regardless of whether one slept or not. </ref>However, the Sephardic minhag is to say Birchot HaTorah by oneself.<ref>Chazon Ovadyah ([[Yom Tov]] p. 312)</ref> | # If one didn't sleep all night, such as on the night of [[Shavuot]], there's a dispute whether one should make Birchot HaTorah.
