By tradition, only dairy foods
are eaten on this holiday. This
has its roots in the quotation
from the Song of Songs 4:11:
". . honey and milk shall be
under your tongue," implying
that the words of the Torah are
as pleasant and acceptable to
our ears and hearts as milk and
honey are to our tongues.
Although in the Diaspora the
agricultural theme of Shavuot
was largely replaced by the
religious one, since the birth of
the State of Israel there has
been a return to the original
emphasis.
In the kibbutzim and
moshavim, the collective set-
tlements, Shavuot has special
significance today. Whether
religious or secular, each kib-
butz celebrates the festival of
Shavuot in its own very special
way. As the season of the wheat
harvest begins, they express in
reading, song and dance, the joy
of the harvester.
The customs that modern
Israel has introduced to
Shavuot have brought us back
to our agricultural roots. But
there is also the realization
that the Giving of the Law at
Mount Sinai marked Israel's
entry into national maturity.
This has been Judaism's
greatest gift to mankind.
