According to the Rosh<\/i> and most of the Rishonim<\/i>, one who was awake all night, as on Shavuot night, may not recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i> before Shacharit<\/i>, because as long as he did not interrupt by sleeping, the previous day\u2019s Birkot HaTorah<\/i> still apply. That is how many eminent Acharonim<\/i> rule (Pri Chadash<\/i>, Gra<\/i>, Chayei Adam<\/i>). According to Rabbeinu Tam<\/i>, however, he must recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i> before Shacharit<\/i>. Since Birkot HaTorah <\/i>are intended to last for a 24-hour period, even if he did not sleep at all during that whole day, when the time arrives to recite Shacharit<\/i> the next day, he must recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i> again. That is what is said in the name of the Arizal<\/i>, and that is the minhag<\/i> of the Sephardim<\/i> (Birkei Yosef<\/i> 46:12; Ben Ish Chai<\/i>, Berachah<\/i> 3; Kaf HaChaim<\/i> 47:26).<\/p>\n

In order to avoid uncertainty, it is preferable that someone who did not sleep at night hear someone else recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i>, <\/i>thereby fulfilling his obligation according to all opinions.<\/p>\n

If he cannot find someone who needs to recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i>, according to the minhag<\/i> of the Sephardim<\/i> and some of the Ashkenazim<\/i>, he should recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i> himself. According to the minhag<\/i> of the majority of Ashkenazim<\/i>, he should have kavanah<\/i> to fulfill the obligation of Birkot HaTorah<\/i> in Ahavah Rabbah<\/i> before Shema<\/i> (Mishnah Berurah<\/i> 47:28), for we have already learned (in halachah 2) that this berachah<\/i> is considered like Birkot HaTorah<\/i>. After praying he must learn a verse of scripture or a Mishnah<\/i> in order to adjoin his learning to the berachah<\/i>.[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Regarding that same person who stayed awake all night, if he slept a regular sleep during the day prior to that, according to all opinions he must recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i> before reciting Shacharit<\/i>.[9]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0(See earlier in this book 9:6 for a summary of the laws concerning one who was awake all night.)<\/p>\n

[8]<\/a>.\u00a0This is the Sephardic<\/span> minhag<\/i>, based on <\/span>Rabbeinu Tam<\/i>. One who was awake all night must be careful not to recite <\/span>Birkot HaTorah<\/i> before <\/span>amud hashachar<\/i>. <\/span>Shut HaElef Lecha Shlomo <\/i>33 writes that if he recited them before <\/span>amud hashachar<\/i> his <\/span>berachah<\/i> is in vain and it must be repeated after <\/span>amud hashachar<\/i>. That is also what is written in <\/span>Kaf Hachaim <\/i>47:29. The <\/span>Tzlach <\/i>in <\/span>Berachot<\/i> 11b is uncertain of this, and therefore the <\/span>Yalkut Yosef<\/i> 47:9 writes that if he recites the <\/span>berachah<\/i> before <\/span>amud hashachar<\/i>, he should have <\/span>kavanah<\/i> to fulfill his obligation in <\/span>Ahavat Olam<\/i>. (According to the <\/span>Ben Ish Chai<\/i>, those who are awake all night should recite <\/span>Birkot HaShachar<\/i> immediately after <\/span>chatzot<\/i> and only delay the recital of <\/span>Birkot HaTorah<\/i> until after <\/span>amud hashachar<\/i>.)<\/span>Concerning the Ashkenazic custom, the Mishnah Berurah<\/i> writes that if one is not in the vicinity of someone whom he can hear recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i>, he can have kavanah<\/i> to fulfill his obligation in Ahavah Rabbah.<\/i> That is based on the Chayei Adam<\/i> in the name of Pri Chadash<\/i> and the Gra.<\/i> It is also the prevalent minhag<\/i>. However, according to the Magen Avraham<\/i>, Derech HaChaim<\/i>, Eliyah Rabbah<\/i>, and Shulchan Aruch HaRav<\/i> 7, he should recite the blessings himself. That is what is written in Olat Ra\u2019ayah<\/i> p. 59, as well. The reason for this is because the obligation to recite the berachot<\/i> is biblical and sefeika d\u2019oriata l\u2019chumra<\/i>, (when there is doubt concerning biblical obligations, we are stringent). Obviously, one who wishes to rely on them is permitted to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[9]<\/a>.\u00a0So writes Mishnah Berurah<\/i> 47:28, according to Rabbi Akiva Eiger, that in this case, all poskim<\/i> agree that one must recite Birkot HaTorah<\/i>. According to the Rosh<\/i>, this is because after a regular sleep during the day he is obligated to recite the berachot<\/i>, and according to Rabbeinu Tam<\/i>, because the new day has arrived.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
