Shavuot (שָׁבוּעוֹת in Hebrew, also pronounced Shavuos) is a two-day Jewish festival, observed in 2026 from May 21–23. It marks the anniversary of the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai more than 3,000 years ago. Following 49 days of anticipation through the counting of the Omer, the holiday is celebrated by refraining from work, enjoying festive candlelit meals, staying up through the night to study Torah, hearing the Ten Commandments read in synagogue, and partaking in traditional dairy foods. The festival begins at sundown at the end of the 5th of Sivan and continues until nightfall on the 7th of Sivan (May 21–23, 2026). In Israel, Shavuot is observed for one day, concluding at nightfall on the 6th of Sivan.
