๐ฏ Shavuot (or Shovuos in Ashkenazi usage); Shavuสฟoth in Sephardi & Mizrahi usage; (Hebrew: ืฉืืืขืืชโโ, lit. "Weeks"), known as the Feast of Weeks in English and as Pentecost (ฮ ฮตฮฝฯฮทฮบฮฟฯฯฮฎ) in Ancient Greek, is a Jewish holiday that occurs on the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan
๐
Shavuot has a double significance. It marks the all-important wheat harvest in the Land of Israel (Exodus 34:22); and it commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel assembled at Mount Sinai, although the association between the giving of the Torah (Matan Torah) and Shavuot is not explicit in the Biblical text.
๐ท๐ท๐ท The holiday is one of the "Shalosh Regalim", the 3 Biblical pilgrimage festivals. It marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer, and its date is directly linked to that of Passover. The Torah mandates the 7-week Counting of the Omer, beginning on the 2nd day of Passover, to be immediately followed by Shavuot. This counting of days and weeks is understood to express anticipation and desire for the giving of the Torah. On Passover, the people of Israel were freed from their enslavement to Pharaoh; on Shavuot they were given the Torah and became a nation committed to serving God. The word Shavuot means weeks, and the festival of Shavuot marks the completion of the seven-week counting period between Passover and Shavuot. The yahrzeit of King David is traditionally observed on Shavuot. Hasidic Jews also observe the yahrzeit of the Baal Shem Tov.
According to Jewish law, Shavuot is celebrated in Israel for one day and in the Diaspora (outside of Israel) for two days.
๐ In the Bible, Shavuot is called the Festival of Weeks (Hebrew: ืื ืืฉืืืขืืชโ, แธคag ha-Shavuot, Exodus 34:22, Deuteronomy 16:10); Festival of Reaping (Hebrew: ืื ืืงืฆืืจโ, แธคag ha-Katsir, Exodus 23:16), and Day of the First Fruits (Hebrew ืืื ืืืืืจืืโ, Yom ha-Bikkurim, Numbers 28:26
โณ The Talmud refers to Shavuot as Atzeret (Hebrew: ืขืฆืจืชโโ, "refraining" or "holding back"), referring to the prohibition against work on this holiday & to the conclusion of the holiday & season of Passover. Since Shavuot occurs 50 days after Passover, Hellenistic Jews gave it the name "Pentecost", "fiftieth day")

Shavuot was also the first day on which individuals could bring the Bikkurim (first fruits) to the Temple in Jerusalem (Mishnah Bikkurim 1:3). The Bikkurim were brought from the Seven Species for which the Land of Israel is praised: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates (Deut. 8:8).
๐ฟ In the largely agrarian society of ancient Israel, Jewish farmers would tie a reed around the first ripening fruits from each of these species in their fields. At the time of harvest, the fruits identified by the reed would be cut and placed in baskets woven of gold and silver. The baskets would then be loaded on oxen whose horns were gilded and laced with garlands of flowers, and who were led in a grand procession to Jerusalem. As the farmer and his entourage passed through cities and towns, they would be accompanied by music and parades. ๐ [via wiki]
