Shavuʿot (Heb., ‘weeks’). The Jewish festival of Pentecost. The festival is celebrated on 6 Sivan (and 7 in the
diaspora) and is one of the three pilgrim festivals (see
Deuteronomy 16. 16). It falls fifty days after the first day of
Passover, and it originally marked the end of the barley and the beginning of the wheat harvest. The
first fruits were brought to the
Temple (Deuteronomy 26. 1–11), and in
rabbinic times the festival also became the anniversary of the giving of the
Torah to
Moses on Mount
Sinai.
