cellioShavuot 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 :-) ).
