Feast of Weeks Shabouth Falls Wednesday June 4
The Feast of Weeks or Shabouth this year falls on Wednesday June 4. The observance marks seven weeks since the last harvest and calls for rejoicing before the Lord with offerings and gathered households including the Levite, stranger, fatherless and widow in the chosen place.
Feast of Weeks evolves from harvest festival to covenant celebration
The Feast of Weeks began as a simple agricultural holiday marking the harvest. Rabbinical Judaism transformed it into a historical festival commemorating the Decalogue, with a universal signification of loyalty to the Covenant. Reform Judaism added a youth confirmation ceremony, turning the rite into a consecration and graduation from religious schooling.
