Shavuot, the Hebrew word for "weeks," is the Jewish festival marking the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, which occurs seven weeks after Passover. In ancient times, Shavuot was a pilgrimage festival during which Israelites brought crop offerings to the Temple in Jerusalem. Today, it is a celebration of Torah, education, and actively choosing to participate in Jewish life.
