Preparation for Shavuot

  1. Some say that thirty days before Shavuot one should start learning the halachot of Shavuot, whereas others say that one should start from Rosh Chodesh Sivan. [1] All the more so, on the holiday itself one should learn the halachot of Shavuot. [2]
  2. This doesn't mean that a talmid chacham should stop this regular learning to learn halacha of the upcoming holiday, but rather it means that a question about hilchot pesach is given precedence to questions not about pesach.[3]

Shavuot morning

Netilat Yadayim

  1. One who didn’t sleep at all at night, since there’s a dispute whether there's an obligation to wash Netilat Yadayim in the morning, one should wash without a Bracha. According to Ashkenazim, one who didn't sleep but goes to the bathroom in the morning, should wash Netilat Yadayim with a Bracha. [4]
  2. One should not learn after Olot HaShachar until he washed his hands in the morning. [5]
  3. If one slept less than 30 minutes [6] or slept in a temporary fashion (putting one’s head on the table) [7], in the morning, it as if one didn’t sleep at all. [8]

Asher Yatzer

  1. If one slept, one should make Asher Yatzer in the morning whether or not one went to the bathroom, however, if one didn’t go to sleep one shouldn’t make Asher Yatzer unless one went to the bathroom. [9]

Tzitzit

  1. 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. [10]

Brachot HaTorah

  1. If one didn’t sleep at all during the night, one shouldn’t make Brachat HaTorah but rather should hear them from someone who is obligated to make them (both must have kavana, and after the Bracha, both learn some pesukim such as Parshat Birkat Cohanim). [11]
  2. If one slept Shinat Kevah the day before staying up all night, one should make the Brachot hatorah in the morning after one didn’t sleep. [12]

Brachot HaShachar

  1. If one didn’t sleep at all, one should listen to Elokei Nishama and HaMaavir Shenah from someone who did sleep. [13] However, the rest of the Brachot HaShachar one can make oneself. [14]
  2. One should not learn after Olot HaShachar until he said Brachot HaShachar. [15]

References

  1. ↑ In Gemara Pesachim 6a, Rabbanan hold that one should begin to learn Hilchot Pesach thirty days in advance of Pesach, whereas Rabban Shimon Ben Gamliel holds only 2 weeks. Rabbanan learn this idea from Moshe who taught the laws of Pesach Sheni thirty days in advance which was Pesach in Nissan. S"A 429:1 rules like the opinion of the Rabbanan. Mishna Brurah 429:1 quotes some who entend this to other Yamim Tovim such as Shavuot, whereas the Gra held that it does not apply to Shavuot.
  2. ↑ Gemara Megillah 32b states that one should learn the halachot of Shavuot on Shavuot. Mishna Brurah 429:1 quotes this as halacha.
  3. ↑ Chazon Ovadyah (Pesach pg 1) explains that the halacha in Gemara Pesachim 6a is relevant in regards to the laws established in Tosefta Sanhedrin 7:5 which state that a person should ask relevant questions and a relevant question has precedence over the irrelevant questions.

  5. ↑ 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.
