Question
Hello, A person who slept for several hours at night and wakes up before dawn to study Torah, can he recite the blessings on the Torah? From what time can one recite the blessings on the Torah?
Answer
Hello,
One who slept a regular sleep in bed should recite the blessings immediately upon waking to study.
However, if he only dozed off at the table at the beginning of the night and then got up to continue studying, he should not recite the blessings.
