Shavuot is one of the three annual Jewish pilgrimage festivals. Before the year 70, all Jews were commanded to go to the Temple in Jerusalem for these festivals. Shavuot is also called Pentecost because it occurs 50 days after Passover, and it is called the Feast of Weeks. Shavuot is a harvest festival (the winter wheat harvest), and it commemorates the revelation of the Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai. In addition to the festival liturgy, Shavuot is frequently observed by eating dairy meals -- lots of cheese dishes and cheesecake, and by all-night Torah study sessions. In modern times, the Reform movement has created confirmation ceremonies on Shavuot honoring students who have continued their religious education beyond bar mitzvah age.
