Feast of Shavuot

The Feast of Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) is a two-day Jewish holiday (one in Israel) marking the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, occurring 50 days after Passover, and celebrating the wheat harvest; it’s observed with all-night Torah study, reading the Ten Commandments, festive dairy meals (like cheesecake), and special synagogue prayers, symbolizing spiritual nourishment and a renewed covenant with God.
