Question

I have been married for about two months. On the night of Shavuot it is customary to stay awake and learn Torah all night. If I go to learn, my wife will remain alone at home, and she cannot sleep at her parents’ house because they live in a different neighborhood. What is preferable to do on the night of Shavuot – to go learn all night, or to stay home with my wife?

Answer

Shalom u-vracha 

It depends on your wife. 

There are women who do not mind staying alone, and there are those for whom it is difficult. 

If it bothers her that you are going out, stay at home. 

[You can also learn all night at home.]
