Q. Dear Rabbi can our Women Torah Learning Group that meets almost every day for different Shiurim. also learn the night of Shavuot? They would like to join their husbands and children for the early Shavuot minyan. and then eat together the early Yom Tov meal. Should they also recite the Tikun of Leil Shavuot?
A. Poskim indeed permit women to learn Shavuos night privately. However, they may not recite the Tikun Leil Shavuos. (Piskei Teshuvos 494: 4 quoting Rav Poalim) Similarly they should avoid joining the learners of Torah in shul on that night. See also Q. 3714 .
