Shavuot, the festival of “weeks,” celebrates the summer harvest, when Jews of ancient times would make a pilgrimage to the temple to show gratitude for their crops. It also commemorates when the Israelites received the Torah on Mount Sinai seven weeks after the exodus from Egypt.
Shavuot brings us the story of Ruth and the middah (Jewish value) of nosay b'ol im chavayro, sharing the burden with one's friend.
