First, Pentecost (aka Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks) is one of the 3 annual pilgrimage festivals of the Jewish year. Observance of Shavuot is included in the festival calendars in the Torah. Every adult Jew was expected to travel to Jerusalem on each of these festivals. Shavuot seems to have originated as the celebration of the winter wheat harvest, as well as a way to remember the giving of the Torah at Mount Siani. The evening service is shortened (all festival evening services are abbreviated), and the morning service is expanded with Hallel (the psalms of praise) and a reading of the Book or Ruth, as well as an insert for the festival in the Amidah (the central prayer of the morning service) and the addition of a special Musaf serevice, which is a second Amidah said after the Torah reading. The Torah reading for Shavuot includes the ten commandments from Exodus. The Haftarah reading is Ezekiel's vision. For those who celebrate a second day, the Deuteronomy version of the Ten Commandments is read, along with Habakkuk's vision.
