The question could be referring to two different feast days! The first is Shavuot, also known as Pentecost or the Feast of Weeks. This occurs on the 50th day after the first day of Passover, and it celebrates (among other things) the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. The other festival that is relevant is Simchat Torah, literally the celebration of the Torah, which occurs on the last day of Shemini Atzeret, the day of assembly (which itself lasts 2 days outside of Israel except for Reform Jews), an extra day tacked onto the weeklong festival of Succot, also known as the Feast of Booths. Simchat Torah celebrates the end and beginning of the annual cycle of Torah reading. The last verses of the Torah are read, and then the first verses, with some dancing and parading around the synagogue added to the event.
