*What is a Tikkun Leyl Shavuot?   Shavuot commemorates the spring harvest and the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.   A Tikkun (repair) is a study session based on the 16th-century mystics of Safed, Israel, under the leadership of Isaac Luria.  The mystics had the idea that at midnight the heavens open and favorably receive the thoughts, study, and prayers of those who remain awake on the anniversary of the Revelation.
