SHAVUOT
Receiving the Ten Commandments
The last windows in this sequence of Jewish Celebrations is the spring
festival of Shavuout. This is a time to remember when Moses received the
Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai during The Exodus. It is said that flowers
bloomed throughout the desert when that event occurred. Like so many of
the Jewish festivals and holidays, Shavuot not only celebrates an historical
event, but also an agricultural one as well, in this case being the spring
wheat harvest. |
