WolfishMusings:- I don’t comprehend how this was your 1st time in 4 years rather than in 14 years? that you were up overnite, since last time that Shovu’os came out with Yaknehaz, was 14 years ago.
Being up overnite is lofty, and having studied Chaye Odom Hilchos Shabbos was effectively studying the 4th commandment which is leined on Shvu’os, so this is great.
But as an aside, the only Mitzwah [nowadys without Shtei haLechem nor Bikurim] prescribed by the Torah for Shovu’os other than no Meleches Avodo & Mikro Kodesh, is “vSomachto Lifne etc.” as leined on 2nd morning of Shovu’os, hence Simchas Yom Tov overrides Shovu’os nite up, if these are going to end up being 2 mutually exclusive events.
Maybe some cheesecake will solve this dilemma in future years?
