During the time of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, <em>Shavuot <\/em>was the second of the Pilgrimage Festivals, the three feast days\u2014together with Passover and <em>Sukkot<\/em> (Feast of Tabernacles)\u2014on which God required all Israelite males to go up to Israel\u2019s capital to appear before the Lord in the Temple.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shavuot <\/em>has a deep spiritual and agricultural significance. Agriculturally, it falls between the grain and barley harvests and celebrates the ripened produce of the Land brought to the Temple as a first fruit offering. Spiritually, the Feast of Weeks commemorates the day God gave His instructions\u2014the <em>Torah <\/em>(Gen.\u2013Deut.)\u2014to the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai some 3,300 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>We find the account in Exodus 19. A fledgling nation of former slaves was <em>en route <\/em>from Egypt to the Land God had promised to the offspring of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Their exodus started on Passover, when God delivered them from the Angel of Death\u2014and the cruel oppression of Pharaoh\u2014through the blood of Passover Lamb. Seven weeks had passed since the nation, soon to be known as Israel, had left a plague-ravaged Egypt behind. And then, coming up to the fiftieth day, Moses received this instruction from God: <em>\u201cGo to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people\u201d <\/em>(Exod. 19:10\u201311).<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the story is well known. Israel heeded God\u2019s command, prepared themselves according to His instructions and gathered at Mount Sinai. Moses headed up the mountain as the nation\u2019s representative and received the <em>Torah <\/em>from God.<\/p>\n<p>Today, more than 3,300 years later, the offspring of those who stood assembled at the base of Mount Sinai on the morning of the first <em>Shavuot <\/em>continue to commemorate God\u2019s sharing of His instructions with the Israelites. And every year, the Jewish people use this day to rededicate themselves to the gift from the hand of God.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shavuot <\/em>begins on sundown on the 5th day of the biblical month <em>Sivan<\/em> and lasts until nightfall on the 6th of <em>Sivan<\/em>. Preparations for the feast include a practice called \u201cCounting the Omer,\u201d marking the days from Passover to the Feast of Weeks as called for in Leviticus 23:15\u201316, <em>\u201cAnd you shall count for yourselves from&#8230;the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.\u00a0Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The number of days from the second day of Passover to the day before <em>Shavuot <\/em>is exactly 49 days or seven weeks, which is the reason behind the name of the feast. The practice of counting the days from one feast to the next has a very specific purpose: it underscores the crucial connection between Passover and <em>Shavuot<\/em>. While Passover freed the Jewish people from the hand of Pharaoh and physical slavery, it was the giving of the <em>Torah <\/em>on <em>Shavuot<\/em> that led Israel forth into spiritual freedom.<\/p>\n<p>On <em>Shavuot, <\/em>Israel celebrates the generosity of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not only in receiving the <em>Torah, <\/em>but also the blessing of the Land of Israel, a land of milk and honey in which the seven species\u2014wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates\u2014grow in abundance. As such, the fruits of the land are found on the menu of many <em>Shavuot <\/em>meals. It is also a considered customary to feast on foods rich in dairy, like cheesecake, pastries and quiche.<\/p>\n<p>Sundown tonight marks the start of another Feast of Weeks tradition. Jewish tradition says the first <em>Shavuot <\/em>morning was marred because the Israelites overslept and Moses had to wake them for their appointment at Mount Sinai. As such, many Jewish men today will spend the night of <em>Shavuot <\/em>wide awake, studying the <em>Torah <\/em>with friends and family<em>. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>From Jerusalem, Bridges for Peace wishes all those who celebrate <em>chag Shavuot sameach <\/em>(happy <em>Shavuot). <\/em><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please note that our offices will be\u00a0closed\u00a0on June 12 for the Shavuot (Pentecost) holiday.
