Beginning with the second night of Passover and every night thereafter, it
is a religious duty to count the days for a period of seven full weeks (forty-nine
days), leading up to the festival of Shavuot. The fifthtieth day is Shavuot
(literally it means weeks – from the seven-week period of counting that
precedes it.
The holiday is also sometimes referred to as Pentecost, which means fifthtieth
day.) The Torah uses the name Atzeret, which implies a concluding festival –
an indication that the Sages regarded it as tied to and concluding the festival
of Passover.
Shavuot is also known as HagBikkurim – “the festival of the first
fruit”,
or Hag Hakatzir –“ the festival of the Harvest”.
It is also known as Zman matam Torahteinu – “the festival of the
giving of the Torah”. The event was the revelation when God’s will
was revealed to Israel, marking the declaration of the Ten Commandments.
