In ancient times, Shavuot was a pilgrimage festival during which Israelites brought crop offerings to the Temple in Jerusalem. Today, it is a celebration of Torah, education and actively choosing to participate in Jewish life. At Temple Israel, we celebrate the Confirmation of our 10th grade students on Shavuot.
