Just in time for the Festival of Weeks, a Shavuot holiday music video (produced by “Rebbetzin TAP & Friends”) reminds Jews around the world that Tuesday night is the time to “stay up all night!”
Jews have a custom of remaining awake throughout the night in order to study the Torah. The custom is kept as a means of compensating for the sin of the Jews who fell asleep at Mount Sinai the night before G-d gave the Torah to the Jewish People.
The holiday of Shavuot, which is observed for one day in the Land of Israel and for two days elsewhere around the world, commemorates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.
