Shavuot

Tomorrow is Shavuot, one of the biggest Jewish holidays.
Here is a link to a wonderful article about it
Shavuot

It is about recieving Torah - law, teaching, aiming at (translations from Hebrew). Interestingly enough one of the words for sin means "missing the sign" Torah being THE sign.

I just wanted to add that while in New Testament, in acts, there is described this wonderful moment when Holy Spirit descends few people ask why were all the apostoles in Jerusalem? Why were there crowds in Jerusalem? Why so many Jews speaking so different languages and arriving from so many places afar. Well, it was Shavuot. That was the reason for them to come on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. And of course apostoles - observant Jews - were celebrating it either.

What better occasion to celebrate than recieving God's word!
