Best Answer

Shavuot "sha-VOO-ote" in Hebrew. The word means "Weeks", probably because of

the holiday's timing: It's the only holiday in the Torah without a date of its own,

defined only as commencing seven weeks after the beginning of Passover.

In 2011, Shavuot begins at sunset on Tuesday, June 7.
