Shavuot
Shavuot, one of the three pilgrimage festival holidays, celebrates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai and the harvest of First Fruits, Yom haBikkurim.
Observed on the 6 and 7th days of the month of Sivan, Shavuot is a holiday commemorating a number of events simultaneously. In addition to the giving of the Torah, Shavuot is a harvest festival marking the end of the barley harvest and the gathering of the first fruits.
