SLEEPOVERS

[5a top] Gemarah: There is a specific Mitzvah/requirement of Linah (to sleep-over the next night) after the bringing of an offering on Pesach and Sukkos. This was commanded so as not to appear to be rushing away from the Temple after completing Mitzvos.

E’s Lesson: We are also not permitted to run upon exiting a Shul. We should not make Mitzvos appear as burdens (from which we run away). We should always run TO do Mitzvos (to show our enthusiasm and zeal), but walk slowly AWAY from (to show our continued longing for) completed commandments.
