What is Shavuot?
Shavuot is a major Jewish holiday celebrated exactly seven weeks (49 days) after Passover. While Passover marks physical liberation from slavery in Egypt, Shavuot marks the moment the Israelites received the Ten Commandments, establishing a covenant with God. The Torah is the spiritual sweetness and nourishment of the soul.
This week, we’re celebrating the Jewish holiday of Shavuot by featuring a variety of delicious dairy recipes for our friends around the globe. The tradition is eating dairy products like cheesecake, quiches, and creamy pastas. Dairy symbolizes the sweetness and spiritual nourishment that the Torah is to the soul.
Shavuot (the Festival of Weeks) starts tomorrow, Thursday May 21, 2026 and ends at nightfall on Saturday, May 26. So take a look and enjoy some delicious ideas and recipes!
