Erev Shavuot is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the night before the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan, typically falling between May 15 and June 14 on the Gregorian calendar. This holiday, which translates to "Eve of the Feast of Weeks," has both agricultural and biblical significance, marking the wheat harvest and the giving of the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai. It signifies the end of the counting of the Omer, a 49-day period between Passover and Shavuot. Erev Shavuot is observed in Israel as a public holiday for one day and for two days abroad. Customs include decorating homes with flowers and green plants, enjoying dairy foods such as cheesecake and blintzes, and staying up all night to study the Torah in preparation for its revelation. The holiday is also known by various names, including "The Festival of Weeks" and "The Festival of Reaping."
