Hi Everyone! Shavuot is the Jewish holiday that celebrates the giving of the Torah, the first harvest, and the ripening of the first fruits. The two day festival (1 day in Israel) begins on Thursday night, May 28, 2009. The Jewish Trivia Quiz <http://www.jewish-trivia.com>http://www.jewish-trivia.com has a selection of multiple choice questions about Shavuot. What are the five names of Shavuot ? On what mountain did Moses receive the Ten Commandments ? How many letters are there in the Torah ? In the days of the Temple what did people do on Shavuot ? Who married Ruth ?
