Happy Shavuot
Happy Shavuot today -- a holiday celebrating the harvest season in Israel. Shavuot, which means "weeks", refers to the timing of the festival which is held exactly 7 weeks after Passover.
Some information (since I certainly had to look up this one)
Shavuot on the Net
Wikipedia entry
Torah Tots
Apparently one celebrates by eating lots of dairy foods -- ice cream, cheesecake, cheese-filled blintzes, etc. Mmm.
