screen. What we're going to be learning today is a sicha of the Lubavitcher Rebbe which he presented on Shavuos in the year taf shin chaf bais. Shavuos taf shin chaf bais is 1962. It's published in Likutei Sichos chelek daled. Likutei Sichos volume four on Shavuos. Likutei Sichos chelek daled page 1024, 1024. As stated in Medrish, the the Lubavitcher Rebbe here is going to address a very very well-known story, a very well-known custom and tradition today in all Jewish communities on Shavuos. It has actually in recent years become so popular that even communities who are not so careful on uh some fundamentals, but nonetheless this custom and tradition has taken very uh has taken root into the Jewish psyche and to Jewish communities, and it's very interesting how that happened and why that happened. But uh it's certainly a fascinating custom, which we're going to be addressing. It's well-known, very well-known. However, when you really study it, it seems very very enigmatic, extremely difficult to understand. And this is the issue the Rebbe is going to tackle with and really reveal a whole new depth and dimension to this tradition, to this story, and to this custom. And of course, we're talking about that great custom of not going to sleep on the night of Shavuos. And I do have to tell you that for me personally, I mean for all of us, but I'll talk about me personally, this Shavuos is certainly different than any other Shavuos. HaShavuos hazeh mikol Shavuos. What makes this Shavuos different than all the other Shavuos? For me personally, usually the night of Shavuos I speak from around 12:00 a.m. till
