The holiday of Shavuot celebrates our receiving of Torah at Mt. Sinai. According to tradition, each of us were there at this momentous event and we re-live this communal memory each year at this holiday and recommit ourselves to the values of our tradition. It is also one of the three important harvest festivals (shaloshregalim) which we celebrate throughout the year, the other two being Sukkot and Pesach. Shavuot occurs exactly seven weeks following the second day of Pesach, marking the conclusion of the counting of the Omer. It is customary to eat dairy products, symbolizing newness and rebirth, to commemorate the spring.

We are excited to be celebrating and reading from The Book of Ruth with our friends from Temple Beth Hillel, Farmington Valley Jewish Congregation, Congregation Kol Haverim and Temple Sinai.
