The festival commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai, and it marks the start of the wheat harvest in the Land of Israel too.

The day is typically marked by the consumption of dairy products and fish, because before God gave his commandments his devotees were unsure of what kind of meat they would be permitted to eat.

Among the dairy dishes consumed are cheesecake, cheese blintzes, cheese kreplach and cheese sambousek. On top of this, there is also all-night Torah study, plus readings from the Book of Ruth and a liturgical poem called Akdamut in synagogue. Poppy Logo. FB house promo. Sign Up for News Updates.
