Shavuot
Shavuot, meaning “weeks,” falls seven weeks after Passover and marks the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. It is a time to reflect on our covenant with God, our dedication to learning, and our commitment to living a life guided by Jewish values. Shavuot is also called Chag HaKatzir (Festival of the Harvest) or Chag HaBikkurim (Festival of the First Fruits) in the Torah.
Yizkor is recited.
