Israeli Shavuot festival 2007
Shavuot of the Hebrew month of Sivan, corresponding to late May or early June.
Shavuot marks the conclusion of the Counting of the Omer and the day the Torah was given at Mount Sinai.
Shavuot is one of the "Shalosh Regalim" - the three Biblical pilgrimage festivals mandated by the Torah, given by God to the Jewish nation at Mount Sinai.
Shavuot is also strongly connected to the season of the grain harvest in Israel. In ancient times, the grain harvest lasted seven weeks and was a season of gladness. The gladness began with the harvesting of the barley during Passover, and ended with the harvesting of the wheat at Shavuot.
This video was shot during the 2007 Shavuot festival in a small country side village in Israel named Kfar Netter.
This celebration is the remains of the ancient Biblical festival.
