Erev Shavuot
May 21
Shavuot is one of the three Jewish pilgrimage festivals, along with Passover and Sukkot. It is celebrated exactly seven weeks after the second Passover seder, which is why it is sometimes referred to as the Feast of Weeks. Although Shavuot began as an ancient grain harvest festival, the holiday has been identified since biblical times with the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai.
