By Yehuda Altein | | | | |  | Which Jewish holiday celebrates Matan Torah? By Menachem Posner | | | | |  | Perhaps less known than Passover, the High Holidays and Sukkot, Shavuot is a Biblical Holiday celebrating the giving of the Torah at Sinai. By Menachem Posner | | | | |  | Is it Mezonot, like cake or crackers, or Hamotzi, like regular bread? By Yehuda Shurpin | | | | |  | While much of the synagogue services are similar to those on any other holiday, there are certain key events that take place only during Shavuot. By Menachem Posner | | | | |  | The Midrash explains that just as a bird is admired for its beauty, Tzipporah was admired for her loveliness.

By Dovi Paltiel | | | | |  | Marking the first yahrtzeit of Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky. By Menachem Posner | | | | |  | Philosophers and mystics are fond of pondering G-d's oneness, perfectness, goodness, omniscience and amazingness. War, disease, school classrooms and the view from the New Jersey Turnpike get blamed on us. By Tzvi Freeman | | | | |  | Did each tribe have their own standard? By Mordechai Rubin | | | | |  | On each day of the 49 days between Passover and Shavuos, it is customary to study a page of the Talmudic tractate Sotah, which consists of 49 pages. But the origins of this custom are immediately called into question: The Talmud existed well before the age of printing, and no two copies had the same format; the pages are always different. Additionally, the first prints of Talmud didn't have an identical typeface either. Later, one format became common in which Tractate Sotah happens to have forty nine folios. Why then, do we associate Tractate Sotah with the 49 days between Passover and Shavuot?
