- Q. Who are the great Gedolim and Poskim, that do not keep the Nitel Traditions?
Can one relay on them?
A. Indeed many prominent halachic authorities explicitly reject the practice of refraining from Torah study on Nittel Nacht. Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ZT”, continued learning on Nittel Nacht and instructed his students to do likewise.
The Chazon Ish Zt”l studied on Nittel Nacht, criticizing those who abstained, while the Steipler Gaon Zt”l studied discreetly to avoid contradicting those who observe this tradition. And in reality most Yeshivot and Torah institutions, keep the ongoing learning of Torah.
