where’s the mitzvah for women to stay up and learn?
oomis- go right ahead if that’s what you choose to do, but I’m wondering what gave you the idea
It’s always a mitzvah to learn Torah, no matter when. Is it a SPECIAL mitzvah for women to stay up on Shavuos night? I am not sure if it is a specific one, but please bear in mind that the Torah was given to ALL of Klal Yisroel on Shavuos, men, women, and children, so it surely is a good thing for women to stay up to learn, even were it not a specific mitzvah to do so. Nothing GAVE me the idea – many women in my community attend shiurim on Shavuos night (all the shuls offer them) and well into the wee hours, if not all night long. The Yeshivah girls even have shiurim arranged by their Morahs’ homes, and after learning all night, they take a nap before going home or going to shul.
