Shavuot: An Eternal Invitation
Shavuot (also known as the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) is from sundown on June 1 to sundown on June 3 this year. The counting of the omer for 49 days since Passover concludes on this 50th day, marking Shavuot. The feast celebrates the beginning of the wheat harvest and, importantly, the giving of Torah (which includes the Ten Commandments) on Mount Sinai.
