Asking just to get a take where we were in the way of shul davening on shavous, lets try to have exchange without insults [rodfim, mosrim].
1 Shavous night, learned at night in shul, had a full house learning
2. Shul on Yom tom, all shuls operating at full steam, 2 outdoor minyam still operating in the neighborhood, rest closed and went back to original shuls, 95% of people davening btzibur.
3. Yizkor was held and both women and men attended.
4. live and daven in the Spring Valley1. Shavuous night, there were individuals learning in shul. My chabura learned in a house.
2. minyanim for mincha maariv in shul, 2 minyanim for shachris in shul
3. Yizkor for men only as we used the ezras nashim for social distancing.
flatbushShavuous night, I learned at home from about 12:30 until 4:15. (I slept a bit until 12:30… yeah, I know, that’s against the rules.). Then I went to shul for Shacharis.
The Wolf
My shul was closed for the night, so I tried to say tikkun at home but just couldn’t do it. I fell asleep at my desk some time during the attempt, and when I woke up a little later I just gave up and went to bed. Sorry, to stay up properly and say tikkun properly I need the atmosphere of a shul where other people are also up and learning or whatever. I can’t do it by myself. I used to have the same problem every Hoshana Rabba, till I started going out of my way to find a shul where I will be with people, and that works.
Also, I’m used on Shavuos to daven at sunrise and then take a nap. Since my shul was closed there was no early minyan, so I would have had in any case to go to bed at alos hashachar and wake up again for the regular minyan, which I always find difficult to do. Once I’m in bed I want to stay there until I’ve slept enough. So it’s just as well I went to bed earlier. Next year IYH I’ll do it properly. Hopefully at the Beis Hamikdosh.
