*Shavuot traditions include the reading of the Ten Commandments and the Book of Ruth, a young woman who experiences much hardship in order to follow her spiritual journey and her heart. This 'convert' to Judaism was the great-grandmother of King David and, according to tradition, the line from which the Messiah will one day come. Home traditions include eating dairy foods (cheese blintzes, cheesecake, bourekas etc) symbolic of biblical Israel as flowing with milk and honey and also in Hebrew, the word for milk is chalav: Its numerical value in gematria is 40, which is a significant number in the Torah (40 years in the desert, 40 days on Mount Sinai...).....and, actually, the dairy foods in modern Israel are really good!!).
