The Jewish festival traditionally associated with the giving of the Torah is called Shavuot.
Shavuot occurs six days after the end of Passover’s counting period, on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan in Israel and on the sixth and seventh days in many communities outside Israel. Its biblical identity is the Feast of Weeks, an agricultural festival connected with the wheat harvest and the offering of first fruits.
Rabbinic Judaism connected Shavuot with the revelation at Mount Sinai and the giving of the Torah. The biblical text does not explicitly state that Sinai occurred on Shavuot, but the association became central to Jewish tradition.
Common customs include studying Torah through the night, decorating synagogues with greenery, and eating dairy foods. The Book of Ruth is traditionally read because its story involves harvest, loyalty, and conversion, themes linked with the festival.
