Shavuot, meaning the Festival of ‘Weeks’, is the second of the three major festivals with both historical and agricultural significance (the other two are Passover and Sukkot). Agriculturally, it commemorates the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple, and is known as Hag ha-Bikkurim (the Festival of the First Fruits). Historically, it celebrates the occasion of the receiving of the Torah by Moses and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. For this reason it is also known as Hag Matan Torateinu (the Festival of the Giving of Our Torah).
