Remembering The Weeks: As Abq Jew ® first noted thirteen (13!) years ago (wow! like it was yesterday!) in A Murder of Crows:
Several thousand years ago, all Jews then living, all Jews ever born, and all Jews ever to be born gathered beneath Mount Sinai to hear God speak to us.
We celebrate this wondrous event every year on the Holiday of Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, exactly forty-nine full days (which are, as we know now, seven full weeks) after the Holiday of Pesach.
... and just 10 days after Jewish New Yorkers joined October 7 hostage families for the Israel Day Parade.
Shavuot (שבועות) occurs on the sixth day of the
Hebrew month of Sivan. This year, Shavuot begins
on the evening of Tuesday, June 11.The festival days
are Wednesday and Thursday, June 12-13.

As we remember what our fathers fought for
and honor their sacrifice ...
Happy Shavuot!
We will dance again ....
