Shavuot for dummies

Shavuot begins Tuesday evening, May 25, and continues until Thursday evening, May 27, 2004.

Shavuot seems to be one of those lesser known holidays in the Jewish calendar, so for those (myself included) who could use a little more explanation, About.com has a great article about the holiday’s customs, history, and even some Shavuot recipes.

For the more advanced readers, be sure to check out Aish’s full Shavuot spread.
