Okay, good evening my rabbi side. This week Shabbos Kodesh Shabbos discusses can you tell your children to go to sleep on Shabbos afternoon because on Motzei Shabbos we have a bar mitzvah or it's erev Shavuos. Sometimes Shavuos falls out on a Sunday and therefore Motzei Shabbos is leil Shavuos. And that's the night we stay up and it's And that's the night we stay up and it's a mitzvah to learn all night. Brought down in the Zohar Hakodesh. So, I want to go to sleep on Shabbos to be able to stay up at night and I want my children do that as well. Is it appropriate to tell them "Geh shlafen. Go to sleep so you should have koach to learn tonight." Leil Haseder every couple of years comes out on a Motzei Shabbos. By the Leil Haseder, one of the most important nights of the year. If it's on Motzei Shabbos, great. So, you can sleep Motzei Shabbos, great. So, you can sleep on Shabbos and have koach. But are you allowed to tell that to somebody? And the shaila goes even farther. Is it assur or muttar on Shabbos and how about erev Shabbos? Can I tell the kinderlach, you know, tomorrow Shabbos is erev Pesach or erev Shavuos, you should probably chap a rein and go to sleep. Can you tell them on erev Shabbos? Let's see see the shaila and the chakira. The bakasha. Mishpacha she kavu la'arach es sudas bar mitzvah shel b'nam b'motzei Shabbos. Mishpacha decided that their son's bar mitzvah's Motzei Shabbos um machmas kein m'unyanim ha'av v'ha'em she'l d'eyam yishnu b'tzaharayim b'yom ha'Shabbos. So, they want their children to sleep. Kiday shoo a ram in the same car should this guy be mostly Shabbos so it should be awake on mostly Shabbos.
