On the first night of Shavuos, Jews throughout the world stay awake the entire night in order to learn Torah, and to prepare for receiving the Torah anew early the next morning. This past Shavuos, the Rabbinical College of Australia & New Zealand conducted its own “Tikun Leil Shavuos” program.
Beginning after midnight, Shliach Yehudah Zaltzman addressed the students regarding the integrity of the borders of Eretz Yisroel. At 1:00am, Rabbi Shmuel Lesches detailed the backgrounds of Rus and Naamah, and explained why the dynasty of Dovid Hamelech and Moshiach is rooted in the nations of Amon and Moav. Shliach Menachem Mendel Begun then delivered a Shiur on the topic of Moshiach, and he was followed by Shliach Yisroel Halon, who presented a Shiur in Masechta Shabbos, on the Sugya of Mattan Torah. Afterwards, the Zal filled with the sound of Torah, as the students finished their recitation of “Tikun Leil Shavuos”.
The program and refreshments were arranged by Shliach Shmuel Lipskier. Delicious cheesecake was prepared by Levi and Mendy Rosenbaum.
