Some people say that the reason to consume dairy treats on Shavuot is because not eating meat makes everyone feel lighter, physically—a good reminder about the spiritual light that comes with receiving the Torah. Some popular Shavuot treats include blintzes, bourekas—a cheese stuffed pastry from Israel, and of course, cheesecake.

This resource contains 7 easy recipes that can be done with children in a school or congregational setting, or shared with families.
