Shavuot: Difference between revisions

# One who didn’t sleep at all at night, since there’s a dispute one should wash without a Bracha, unless one goes to the bathroom and then one should wash [[Netilat Yadayim]] with a Bracha. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 4:30, 494:1 </ref> One should not learn after [[Olot HaShachar]] until he washed his hands in the morning. <Ref> S”A 4:14 says that if one was awake from before [[Olot HaShachar]] and washed his hands earlier, he should wash again at [[Olot HaShachar]] without a Bracha because of Safek. Piskei Teshuvot 494:5 says once there’s an obligation to wash one’s hands one shouldn’t learn Torah. </ref>

# If one slept less than 30 minutes <ref> Kitzur S”A 2:8, Dinei Nieyor Kol HaLaylah (pg 42) in name of Rav Chaim Kanievsky </ref> or slept in a temporary fashion (putting one’s head on the table) <ref>Ishei Yisrael 2:33 note 110, Piskei Teshuvot 494:6</ref>, in the morning, it as if one didn’t sleep at all. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 4:27, Ishei Yisrael 2:33 </ref>  

===Tzitzit===

# If one went to sleep (or stayed up) in Tzitzit, preferably one should make a Bracha on wearing a talit to cover the Bracha for Tzitzit, however if that’s not possible, one may make a Bracha on those Tzitzit in the morning and as one makes the bracha one should shake the Tzitzit strings. <Ref> S”A 8:16 rules that if one slept in Tzitzit one may make a new Bracha on it in the morning and at the time of the Bracha one should shake the Tzitzit strings. Mishna Brurah 8:42 explains that really this issue depends on whether there’s a mitzvah of Tzitzit at night and so it’s preferable to make the Bracha on a talit and cover the Bracha for Tzitzit. Piskei Teshuvot 8:30 adds that someone who that option is unavailable, such as bochrim who don’t wear talitim, should make the Bracha oneself like S”A. </ref>
