My parents come from Mehalovic, Slovakia. My parents or any of the few remaining relatives that I’ve had didn’t remember staying up all night but we do say Tikkun Leil Shavuos.

Rabbi berkowitz is one of the greatest Talmidai chochmim. And yes he stays up many nights learning and is in love with the torah
I’m still learning how to love myself. I keep checking all the garbage bins hoping I’ll find my self-esteem somewhere.
