Shavuot is a Jewish holiday celebrated 50 days after Passover. It marks two important events: the end of the grain harvest and the giving of the Torah (the Jewish holy book) to the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
Shavuot means “weeks” in Hebrew because it comes seven weeks after Passover. It is also known as the Festival of Weeks. On this day, Jewish people remember when Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. This event is a key moment in Jewish history and faith.
People celebrate Shavuot by going to synagogue, where special prayers and readings are done. One of the main readings is from the Book of Ruth, which tells the story of a woman who showed great loyalty and faith.
It is traditional to eat dairy foods on Shavuot, like cheese, milk, and blintzes. Some people believe this custom started because the Israelites, who had just received the Torah, needed time to learn the kosher laws and prepare meat properly, so they ate dairy instead.
Decorating homes and synagogues with flowers and greenery is also common, symbolizing the harvest and the beauty of the Torah. Shavuot is a joyful holiday that combines religious, historical, and agricultural themes.
