Shavuot morning

Netilat Yadayim

  1. 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. [1] One should not learn after Olot HaShachar until he washed his hands in the morning. [2]
  2. If one slept less than 30 minutes [3] or slept in a temporary fashion (putting one’s head on the table) [4], in the morning, it as if one didn’t sleep at all. [5]

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. [6]

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. [7]

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). [8]
  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. [9]

Brachot HaShachar

  1. If one didn’t sleep at all, one should listen to Elokei Nishama and HaMaavir Shenah from someone who did sleep. [10] However, the rest of the Brachot HaShachar one can make oneself. [11]
  2. One should not learn after Olot HaShachar until he said Brachot HaShachar. [12]

  2. 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.

  7. 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.
