As the Rov well knows I much like to learn Torah and I constantly tell the Rov my questions, chidushim and Vertlach. At my stage in life I have difficultly in staying up all night. How important is it really to do so?
A. My Dear friend, I much appreciate not only your many good Shailos, but most important your Divrei Torah and great Vertlach.
On question 4990 we wrote:
“Q. Is it true that on Shavuoth it is determined what are going to be the Chidushei
Torah that one is going to learn and reveal for others during the coming year?
A. Indeed the Sheloh Hakadosh (Shavuos 19), quoting other sources teaches that most important ruling and heavenly decision of this most essential day
However, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should not daven for this particular gift as it really depends on one’s personal effort and en-devour.
The Rov Shlit’a mentioned that for those who do recite the Tikun on the night of Shavuos, it would seem that they have a different approach and attitude, and then this praying is correct.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as revised by Horav Dovid Pam, Horav Aharon Miller, Horav Chanoch Ehrentreu and Horav Kalman Ochs Shlit’a
