The Fire of Torah  – Shavous

R’ Chaim Volozin, the main disciple of Vilna Gaon, had an idea to begin a Yeshiva in Volozhin. He first went to his teacher, the great Vilna Gaon to consult and hoped that his Rebbe would immediately give his blessing. However after listening patiently, the Gaon did not respond. R’ Chaim left the home of the Gra bitterly disappointed at the Gra’s apparent disapproval of the project. He remained inconsolable for about a year, at which point he decided to return to the Gra and once again make his presentation.

This time when the Gra heard the plans his face visibly shone with enthusiasm and he eagerly  received the idea and became greatly animated.

 “But Rebbe I do not understand. When the Rebbe first heard of my plans he apparently reacted unfavorably. Nothing has changed in the interim! What has caused the attitude of the Rebbe to change?”

“You are indeed correct” answered the Gra “The urgency and the importance of the matter has not changed. However when you first came to see me I noticed a passion in your eyes that was uncharacteristic. I was concerned that perhaps the motivation for such an important Mitzvah was questionable. Now that I see you return and calmly present the facts I know that this undertaking will succeed and therefore I give my blessing.

HALACHIC BULLETIN

On Shavuos if you did not sleep at night, it is best to use the bathroom in the morning, wash your hands, and then make the Brocha of “Al Netilas Yadayim”

You should be Yotsei “Hama’aveer” and “Elokai” with someone who slept.

You should be Yotsei “Birkas HaTorah” with someone who slept, unless you took a nap of at least thirty minutes or slept on Erev Shavous.

 

Have a great Shabbos!
