Shavuot is a Jewish festival celebrating the harvest of the first fruits of the wheat. The festival is also known as the Great Correction and the Basque cheesecake.

The men march to the synagogue on the eve of the holiday and study until morning prayers. For years, the festival was a unique experience for us and some looked with some disappointment at the experience of the Shavot. But for me, it was all a holiday of giving the firstruits of the bread and of bringing the first harvest.
