Question 2

When is Shavuot 5786?

Accepted Answer

Shavuot 5786 begins on May 22-23, 2026. Shavuot, the Festival of Weeks, falls exactly 50 days after Passover, marking the culmination of the Omer count. It is one of the three biblical pilgrimage festivals and celebrates two interconnected themes: the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and the wheat harvest in the Land of Israel. According to tradition, the entire Jewish nation stood at Sinai and collectively received the Torah from God, making Shavuot the anniversary of the covenant between God and the Jewish people. The holiday is marked by all-night Torah study sessions (Tikkun Leil Shavuot), the reading of the Book of Ruth in synagogue, and the eating of dairy foods. Many synagogues are decorated with flowers and greenery, symbolizing the lush vegetation that miraculously bloomed on Mount Sinai when the Torah was given. In Israel, Shavuot is also associated with agricultural celebrations and the offering of first fruits (bikkurim).
