The Jewish holiday of Shavuot begins at sundown this evening, June 11. Shavuot, or Feast of Weeks, is a significant Jewish holiday that commemorates the giving of the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai. Shavuot also has roots in an ancient agricultural festival celebrating the wheat harvest in Israel. The holiday is observed with various customs, including all-night Torah study sessions, the reading of the Book of Ruth, the consumption of dairy foods, and the decoration of homes and synagogues with greenery and flowers.
