Shavuot
aeli Children celebrate Shavout at Kibutz Geva
Jewish people in India, Israel and around the world,
celebrated
recently the festival of Shavu'ot, an important day in the
Jewish
calendar, with both historical and agricultural
significance.
Agriculturally, it commemorates the time when the first
fruits
were harvested and brought to the Jewish Temple in Jerusa
Historically, it celebrates the giving of the Torah the
Books of Moses Judaism' s founding legal and et
religious text, at Mount Sinai over three thousand years
ago.
It is a tradition for Jews to eat dairy dishes during Shavu'ot.
On
the holiday table of many Jewish homes one may find
mouthwatering dairy dishes such as blintzes, quiches and
cheesecake. Some say this tradition is a reminder of the
promise regarding the land of Israel, a land flowing with "
and honey."
If you happen to be visiting a kibbutz, an Israeli communal
agricultural settlement, it is worth attending the annual
Bikkurim
ceremony. The agricultural settlements, and mainly the
kibbutzim, hold beautiful ceremonies and parades on Shavuot,
displaying the produce grown on their land. In most
kibbutzim
these ceremonies are open to the public.
