Shavuot (pronounced shah-voo-OAT) occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (on Sunday, May 27 this year). It is the second of three pilgrimage festivals (Passover and Sukkot are the other two). Shavuot commemorates the day God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. It also has an agricultural reference, marking a stage in the harvest. One of the customs of Shavuot is to hold a tikkun, or Torah-based learning session, late into the night.
