havuot is a time of harvest. It is said that on the
day God gave Moses the Torah, Mount Sinai
miraculously bloomed in exultation.
Why do we traditionally eat dairy on Shavuot? One
explanation is that before the Torah, there were no laws
of kashrut. With the Torah, laws of preparation and
eating foods in particular combinations were handed
down. Because the Israelites were not prepared to eat
meat under the restrictions of the new laws, no meat was
served.
