What is Shavuot?
Taking place seven weeks after Passover, Shavuot is both a spiritual and agricultural celebration.
The holiday is a time to reflect on the importance of learning, faith, and tradition, and to renew one’s connection to Jewish values and community. Many people observe Shavuot through prayer, Torah study, festive meals, and gathering together with family and friends.
