Q&A Is one to avoid marital relations on both nights of Shavuos in the Diaspora?[3] Some Poskim[4] rule one is to abstain from marital relations on both nights of Shavuos, in the Diaspora. Other Poskim[5] however rule that it only applies on the first night. Is one to avoid Tashmish by the Shloshes Yimei Hagbala? Some avoid marital relations beginning three nights before Shavuos, during the Shloshes Yimei Hagbala.[6] However, according to the Arizal, one is only to abstain on the night of Shavuos.[7]
