Shavuot 2025 is a Jewish vacation that commemorates the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. It is likely one of the three main Jewish holidays, together with Passover and Sukkot, and is widely known on the sixth and seventh days of the Hebrew month of Sivan.
Shavuot is also called the Competition of Weeks, because it falls seven weeks after Passover. The vacation is widely known with particular prayers, Torah readings, and festive meals. It’s also customary to eat dairy meals on Shavuot, corresponding to cheesecake and blintzes.
