Shavuot
Shavuot literally means “weeks” and occurs seven weeks after Passover. Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. In biblical times on Shavuot, people would make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem to bring crop offerings. In modern times, Shavuot is a time when we rededicate ourselves to studying Torah and living a Jewish life. Some stay up all night studying Torah. Many congregations have their confirmation ceremony during Shavuot because the 10th graders are confirming their intent to continue studying and living Jewishly.
