What is Shavuot?

Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that honors one of the most important events in Israel’s history: Giving the Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai. It is, however, not a so familiar holiday for many.

Shavuot Meaning

Shavuot is the Hebrew word for Weeks.

 

When is Shavuot?

The Jews celebrate Shavuot seven weeks after the first day of Passover. If you count seven weeks, you’ll get 49 days. The 50th day is Shavuot. Because of that count, this holiday is also named Shavuot Pentecost, where Pentecost means fifty in Greek.

Why Celebrate Shavuot?

The Exodus celebrates Passover symbolizes the physical liberation of the Jews, and the giving of the Torah signifies spiritual redemption. Together these two events form the fulfillment of a journey and teach us that physical freedom cannot be complete without spiritual redemption.
The achievement of a complete physical and spiritual journey is the reason to celebrate Shavuot.

 

How to Celebrate Shavuot?

In ancient times, sheaves of barley were offered daily to the holy Temple. Farmers expected Shavuot with great hope. When it lastly got here, people would bring their first fruits to the Temple with a unique ceremony.

Nowadays, many Jews celebrate Shavuot by staying up the whole night studying and learning the Torah. At synagogue services on Shavuot early morning, the Ten Commandments read as well, as individuals reaffirm their commitment to honor and follow God’s Law.

 

Shavuot Greeting

It is common to greet people with a Happy Shavuot greeting. In Hebrew, it said – “Chag Shavuot Sameach.”

 

Shavuot Food

During the Shavuot feast, it is a tradition to eat dairy foods. There are several reasons for that tradition. Here are three of the most popular:

  1. The milk is the Torah, which nourishes the people as milk does for an infant. 
  2. Israel is named the land of milk and honey in the Exodus book (3:8). 
  3. The Israelites were considered as a newborn when they received the Torah.

Popular Shavuot foods consist of cheesecake, blintzes, as well as kugels.

The Seven Species And Shavuot

The period between Passover and Shavuot (March-May) is the Spring. During the Spring, we move from extreme heat to cold winds. The flowering and fruiting of the seven species take place during that period.

The seven species represent seven weeks of self-improvement and preparation for receiving the Torah. During these 49 days, the Jews count the Omer, turn to God in remorse and prayer. That’s why the seven species are linked with spiritual achievement.

 

  1. 🌾Wheat – Kindness. Expanding yourself and reaching for others.
  2. 🌾Barley – Restraint. Contraction, reduction, and setting boundaries.
  3. 🍇Grapes – Beauty. The difference between its contrary components.
  4. 🍇Figs – Endurance. The fig tree exhibits everlasting fruitfulness.
  5. 🍅Pomegranates – Glory. Thanks, respect, and recognition.
  6. 🫒Olives – Foundation. Like the strong stem of the olive tree.
  7. 🌴Dates – Kingdom. Allows everything to manifest below it.
