We celebrate Shavuot, “the feast of weeks,” seven weeks — or 50 days — after the first night of Pesach. On Shavuot, we honor the revelation and Israelite acceptance of the Torah as God’s Law given on Mount Sinai. During services on the second morning of Shavuot, we read the Book of Ruth. A Moabite woman, Ruth marries an Israelite man who dies suddenly. Rather than return to her Moabite family, she follows her Israelite mother-in-law, Naomi, back to Bethlehem.
