Shavuos is one of my favorite holidays.
On a deeply personal level, I connect to the story of Rus.
I get teary eyed every time and I am proud that my husband and I saw the truth from the lies that we used to live (he was not brought up religious or even traditional xtian but I was...) and the beauty of our holy Torah.

While it was very difficult to give up our secular lifestyles it was definitely worth it.
I’m not saying that I never struggled in my Judaism bc that would be a lie, but now I know and believe that everything hashem brings upon us is for the good.

Who else?

So beautifully said.
I am FFB but I love the whole aspect of celebrating when we received the Torah and staying up all night to learn. And that it's only one day! Smile (in Israel)

Is it ok if I love it for practical reasons? Pesach and tishrei come along with so much stress it takes away a part of the enjoyment. Shavuos comes at a calm time. Add to it cheese cake and flowers and it’s got to be my favorite too!

There is this famous Yiddish saying;

Pesach is like a Daughter in law- As much as you do it's never enough.

Sukkas is like a Son in law- It's work but it's nice.

Shavous is like a daughter- Whatever you do is perfect!


OP I am happy for you.
