Debbie Schlussel: To My Friends & Readers: In Observance of Shavuot/Pentecost
To my friends and readers, in observance of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot (also Shavuos and in English, "Pentecost"), I will be out of blog commission, tomorrow (Friday). But I have written several posts which my webmaster will post for me, including a special scoop/breaking story about a very disturbing Bush judicial nominee.
Also, tomorrow is the first Blogiversary of this site, which I will also recognize and celebrate.
To my Jewish friends and readers, Happy Shavuot. To my friends and readers who are not Jewish and want to learn about the holiday, go here and here. Basically, the holiday is a celebration of G-d giving the Torah and the Ten Commandments to the Jewish people. On the holiday, men traditionally stay up all night, the first night, in Bible study, and we eat dairy foods.
