Shavuot

One this episode, we discuss the almost-forgotten Festival of Shavuot, In the Torah, it was an Atzeret, the end of the 50-day period following Pesach, when the late spring harvest arrived. During the days of the Second Temple, it was the Jewish Mardi Gras. And today, we celebrate by prayer, all-night study - and cheesecake! 

What does it all mean? You have to listen.
