SHAVUOT
Shavuot is the Hebrew word for “weeks” and refers to the Jewish festival marking the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, which occurs seven weeks after Passover. Shavuot is a celebration of Torah, education, and actively choosing to participate in Jewish life.
This year, we observe Shavuot beginning at sunset on Thursday, May 28 and ending at sundown on Friday, May 29. Click here for more information about how we are celebrating Shavuot at Temple Beth Ami.
