Question
Hello,
Regarding the study on Shavuot night, there are books with tikkunim for this night (the first 3 verses of each parsha, etc.).
Is there a significant advantage to this? Or can a person study whatever their heart desires?
Answer
Hello
The source of this custom is based on Kabbalah, and many communities are careful to observe it.
However, in yeshivas, it is customary to study other things and not to recite the 'Tikkun' at all.
Everyone should follow their own custom, and there is merit in each approach.
