The holiday of Shavuot is called by
different names, and each name tells us
something special about this holiday. In
the Torah, it is called Shavuot because
it comes after [music] counting 7 weeks,
49 days from the holiday of Passover. It
is also called [music] the festival of
the harvest because it comes at the time
of the wheat harvest in the land of
Israel. Another name is the festival of
first fruits because during the [music]
days of the temple, people would bring
the first and finest fruits of the
harvest to the temple. But, the name
most familiar to us is the time of the
giving of [music] the Torah. On this
day, more than 3,300 years ago, the
people of Israel received the Torah from
God at Mount Sinai. That was the moment
[music] when we were born as a people,
not just as a large family that left
Egypt, but as a nation with a special
mission in the world.
