Shavuot is one of the Three Pilgrim (or “Foot”) Festivals. It celebrates the giving of the Ten Commandments by God to the Children of Israel at Mount Sinai, 49 days (7 weeks) after the Exodus from ancient Egypt. Shavuout commemorates the fruit harvesting in the Land of Israel. It is also the culmination of the 49 days of Counting of the Omer. It has traditionally had Festive meals, all-night Torah studies and prayer seeking the Ruach (Holy Spirit). It has several traditions, like the recital of Akdamut, a liturgical poem in Ashkenazic synagogues, the reading of the Book of Ruth, eating of dairy foods, such as cheese blintzes and the decoration of homes and synagogues with greenery.
