"The #festival of #Shavuot is, in many ways, the calm, quiet relation of the #Torah prescribed #festivals.

From a Torah perspective it is simply the date, 50 days after #Pesach on which the first wheat loaves of the new season were brought to the #BeitHamikdash.

Only through a set of calculations, not specifically tied to the festival in the Torah, do we know that it occurs when #Israel experienced the #Sinaiticrevelation.

But as is so often the case in #Judaism, custom stepped in where law left a vacuum. Hence while today its key identifying practice is #Torahstudy – #TikkunLeilShavuot – on the night of Shavuot, Shavuot also has its gastronomic aspect.

Regarding #food, one of the best-known customs of Shavuot is the eating of #dairy foods at the #holiday meals or during the nighttime study sessions. #Cheesecake and cheese #blintzes have become beloved and fattening Shavuot staples in #Jewish homes for centuries. Why?"

why the fuck is "matzo not suitable for passover" a thing

who looks at matzo and thinks "hm, yes, I'd like to have this OUTSIDE of when I'm religiously required to"

there's too many boxes for it to be some niche strain of masochism
