Celebrate Shavuot with Federation and PJ Library of Greater Washington! On Shavuot, we celebrate the receiving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and the first fruits of the late spring harvest. It's a holiday about food, setting up rules to live by, and reading. Find events and resources to enhance your family's Shavuot celebration with PJ Library's Shavuot guide.
