In many developments shabbos goy services were available for those ovens that shut off, AC or lights turned on etc. In a reverse of the usual, Parents, in laws, siblings flocked to Lakewood to spend tom tov with their children. The kol Torah was heard shavuos night in all yeshivos and botei midrashim of Lakewood. Many shuls hosted special learning programs for kids who stayed up late shavuos night. A dilemma this year among 5th grade rebbeim, if to encourage the boys to stay up or not various opinions were said, some held not to push kids at all to stay up, but rather had special learning programs over the rest of shavuos.
