Shavuot 5772 at Tikvat Israel, Saturday, May 26 - Monday, May 28

Shavuot is the season of the giving of the Torah. Shavuot is one of three major festivals with both historical and agricultural significance, the other two being Pesach and Sukkot. Agriculturally, it commemorates the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple, and it is therefore known as Chag ha-Bikkurim ("the Festival of the First Fruits"). And, of course, Shavuot is also referred to as Z'man Matan Toreteinu ("the time of the giving of our Torah"). Our tradition was deliberate in not calling it "the time of the receiving of the Torah," for the Torah must be received every day.

In keeping with tradition, Tikvat Israel will observe the holiday with prayer, study, and song throughout. Come, participate, and learn.
