#5726 – Tell All About Nitel!
Question
Dear Rov Shlit’a .Why do so many not keep the tradition of not learning on Nitel?
Answer
Many believe that the Minhag of not learning on Nital Night is only a Chasidishe Minhag for some. In reality Likely most Yeshivot and Batei Kneseth keep almost their usual daily routine.
The חות יאיר in his (ספר מקור חיים (או"ח קנ"ה maintains that not to learn on Nital night is the Minhag of the מהר"ל מפראג(About 180 years before the בעל שם טוב).
