~ This festival is referred to as the Feast of Weeks and refers to the seven weeks that separate it from the Passover festival. The Holiday commemorates G-d giving Moses the Torah at Mount Sinai. The moment of revelation also concludes the Exodus since the Exodus meant little without the revelation of G-d's word, the Torah, to the people of Israel. Customs include eating dairy foods and decorating the synagogue with greens and fragrant flowers.
