reason as to why Shavuot
is more obscure than other
holidays. When compared to
celebrations such as Passover
and Chanukah, Shavuot is
not commercialized in the
slightest. While these holidays
see entire sections of stores
dedicated to them, community
events for children and more,
Shavuot rarely, if at all, gets any
of these.
However, even though the
signs don’t point to it being an
important date, it actually is.
As mentioned earlier, it’s one
of the three harvest festivals;
although this was a bigger deal
in ancient times, this would
in theory put it on a similar
level to Sukkot and Pesach.
In addition, Shavuot is when
the Jewish people received the
Torah, a momentous occasion
to say the least.
To end, I would like to pose
a question: Why do you think
Shavuot is more of a “hidden
holiday” even though it has
such a significant background
and meaning? What can we do
to bring hidden holidays like
Shavuot into the spotlight?

Yiddish Limerick
Shavuot
Men zogt az mir alle in Sinai gevayn
Un Moishe Rabeinu mir alle gezayn.
Un Naase v’nishma gezogt with no fear
Farvos undzer Torah was always so dear.
Un in yeder Shavuot tzu shul mir vel gayn.
Men zogt- they say
az mir alle inn Sinai gevayn- that we all were in Sinai
mir alle gezayn- we all saw
Un naase v’nishma- And we’ll do and we’ll hear
gezogt- said
Farvos undzer Torah- Bbecause our Torah
Un in yeder Shavuot- And in every Shavuot
tzu shul mir vel gayn- to synagogue we will go.
