The festival of Shavuot celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and encourages us to embrace the Torah’s teachings and covenant with God. Shavuot literally means the “Feast of Weeks” and is one of the three pilgrimage festivals. It is celebrated seven weeks after Passover. Here in Acts 2 the disciples celebrated Shavuot (Pentecost), obeying the Torah command to do so following the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah.
