This evening begins the Festival of Shavuot. Shavuot celebrates the ingathering of the first fruits of the harvest & the anniversary of the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai. On Shavuot we read the book of Ruth. Ruth joined the Jewish people & became the grandmother of king David. https://t.co/y2zuGiIdj3

As Israeli families gather to celebrate the festival of Shavuot, terrorists in Gaza continue to fire rockets toward them in southern Israel.

I took my daughter for Shavuot lunch with her grandparents today. And her grandfather was explaining to her about the renaissance period and the history leading up to it.
It was really good to hear from someone who actually learnt stuff and didn't just read it on the internet.
@JodiMcKayMP Well lucky for you @JodiMcKayMP saturday will be the eve of Shavuot so then you can condemn the terrorist you have previously praised for firing indiscriminately on civilians.
B/c if u don't use that opportunity..... Then you are kinda just saying you only want peace for 1 side
@JewsDownUnder Husband went to Shule this morning, but I just felt so exhausted. We had a nice Shavuot family dinner last night. Should have made a bigger effort to stay off Twitter today. At least I spent some time on the veranda with the birds 😊
@annarajagopal_ Anxna, I’ve always followed your posts, even when I disagree, because in spite of contention you’re passionate, which I respect. But this crosses two important lines - our presence at Sinai (and come on, it’s Shavuot tonight), and implicit racism. Or is that explicit? Do better.
