Shabuot, The Feast of Weeks or Pentecost comes on the fiftieth day, just after the seven-week `Omer period between the beginnings of the barley and wheat harvests, and traditionally commemorates the Revelation at Sinai seven weeks after the Israelites left Egypt.
Erub Tabshilin: When the festival begins on Thursday evening, food for the Sabbath is set aside prior to the festival. See Prayers for the Festivals, by David de Sola Pool, p. 1.
The Biblical Book of Ruth is traditionally read on Shabuot, since it deals with both the Israeli grain harvest at this time of year, which this festival marks, as well as acceptance of the Torah, in this case by Ruth as a faithful convert. The younger girls of the congregation who take part are pre-assigned a few verses each, which they must learn to chant according to the congregation’s unique traditional cantillation system for this book.
Azharot (“Admonitions”) is the name given to the poem by Shelomo Ibn Gabirol with introduction by David Ibn Eleazar Pekudah, which enumerates all 613 Commandments of the Torah in rhymed verse. The introduction and the first part, listing the 248 positive Commandments, is read on Friday evening at 7:15, before Minhah. The second part, which enumerates the 365 negative Commandments, is read on Saturday evening at 7:15. Men and boys chant the poem to the Spanish & Portuguese traditional Shabuot melody in round-robin style, with each participant leading two lines at a time.
