Shavuot

Shavuot starts tonight and is then followed by Shabbat, so I'll be quiet for a couple days.

Shavuot is under-rated by most Jews, which is sad. It commemorates the event that makes us Jews -- the giving of Torah. But it lasts for one day, not a week, and doesn't have prominent props and stuff, so I guess it's easy to overlook.

Shavuot is special to me, though, because it's so closely bound up with my own religious history. I'll always have a warm spot in my heart for this holiday.

Chag sameach to those who celebrate (and are still reading LJ this close to the start :-) ).

Chag sameach...

To you too -- I'm too beat to make to shul to celebrate, but I'm going to the second day service on Saturday. (Yes, I know we don't celebrate second day in the diaspora...)

Eat plenty of cheese cake!

Chag sameach, though it will be over before you read this.

And a happy chag it was

I'm caught up, as far as catching up goes. We have lots of cheesecake. Any suggestions on how we can not waste it and not keep it around?
