Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. It is celebrated on the sixth and seventh days of the Hebrew month of Sivan, which usually falls in May or June. In 2025, Shavuot will begin on the evening of May 28th and end on the evening of May 30th.
Shavuot is one of the three major Jewish pilgrimage festivals, along with Passover and Sukkot. During Shavuot, Jews traditionally eat dairy foods, such as cheese and blintzes, and study the Torah. The holiday is also a time for reflection and renewal.
