Tomorrow night I will never go to sleep. The day we’ve been waiting for is here. Tomorrow night begins the holiday of Shvuot- the Feast of Weeks.

33!
Come on. Let’s go on a picnic.
No, I am being dead serious. Today is the 33rd day between Passover and Shvuot. It’s called Lag B’Omer- not a very original name, since Lag means 33 and Omer is the counting we do as we await the next holiday; it was the time that Jews used to bring daily offerings of barley to the Temple. (The reason we count the 50 days from Passover because we are waiting to receive the 10 commandments and the Tora- that is what happens on Shvuot.)
Revelation…
Tonight, I will be staying up all night. And, eating dairy meals for the next two days. Because it will be Feast of Weeks, Shvuot.

Yesterday was one of my favorite days of the year. One most of you have never heard about. One that I have celebrated since I was 5 years old. (Maybe, earlier, but that is the first time I remember doing so.)
