		From a social point of view Russ was the most inappropriate wife for Boaz; however, because of her personal commitment to Torah and her extraordinary sense of humility, as well as Boaz's absolute commitment to the word of G-d and his personal humility, their shiduch set in motion the birth of redemption.
		The beginning of Sefer Bamidbar, the Yom Tov of Shavuoth, the birth and death of Dovid Hamelech, and the story of Russ and Boaz are all linked to the Jewish mission of being the world's role models and teachers.

		Shavuoth originally celebrated the spring harvest, but now, the giving of the Law to Moses.

	Shavuoth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Pentecost, which means count fifty in Greek, was a High Sabbath falling exactly seven weeks and one day from the Temple offering of the "wave-sheaf" the wave-sheaf offering, consisting of an omer of flower made from freshly cut barley from the new crop in a special Temple service.
		However, the Pharisees argued that the date of Shavuoth, that is Pentecost, should be set by counting from the High Sabbath and not from the weekly Sabbath.
		Following the destruction of the Second Temple, and the dissolution of the priesthood, Pharisaic Judaism redefined the meaning of Shavuoth proclaiming Silvan 6, a fixed date, as the anniversary of the giving of the Law— The Torah—at Mt. Sinai, determined from the date of the High Sabbath, as Shavuoth.

		Celebrated exactly seven weeks after Passover, the feast of Shavuoth is traditionally taken to mark the time when Moses received the law on Mount Sinai.
		Because every male Israelite was expected to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem (equality for women in those days, alas, was not an issue) to bring a sampling of the fruits to the Temple, this is also considered a pilgrim festival.
		No one questions the importance of Shavuoth in Jewish life.

	Nutrition and Shavuoth
		At this time of year when we track the days from Pesach to Shavuoth through a daily counting of the Omer, it is nutritionally tempting to reflect on the merits of barley, whose flour composed the original Pesach meal offering.
		Perhaps barley's marred reputation started through its association with the "sotah," the unfaithful wife, who was required to bring a barley meal offering to atone for her sin.
		As it would have required significant time to slaughter and kasher animal foods, the Jewish people first ate a meal of readily available milky foods until preparations were completed for a later meal of meaty foods.

		So basically the laws of the Torah which we receive on Shavuoth are not enough to protect us from the Golden Calf.
		And then on Shavuoth what we receive is even deeper than the secrets of the Torah, the utmost heavenliness and G-dliness of the Torah.
		The first Kiddush Levanah after Shavuoth, whatever we didn't do on Shavuoth, whatever we missed out, we can still do, because it is the month of Shavuoth, the moon of Shavuoth.

		The word Pentecost comes from the Greek for fifty, not five, and thus counts the fifty days from the 1st day of Pesach or from Good Friday depending on whose Pentecost and whose revelation you are referencing.
		I think in the past, more Christians celebrated or at least knew about Pentecost so the word was familiar to them and connected their holy day to ours.
		In addition, the Christian Bible describes an important event as happening on Shavuoth, and this event is called the Pentecost.

		On Sunday and Monday, the first and second of June, 1941, on the two-day festival [in the Diaspora] of Shavuoth, Iraqi Arabs / Muslims, incited by their pro-Nazi chief of state, Rashid Ali Kaylani, rampaged, plundered, looted, raped, and murdered 140 Baghdadi Jewish men, women, and children.
		Up until that Shavuoth there existed a comfortable status quo, especially for the majority who were urban Jews, who on the average, were well-educated and multi-lingual.
		The immediate Jewish communal response to such pogrom after that Shavuoth was, of course, to bury their dead, treat the wounded, place the new orphans with other Jewish families, mourn, fast, and say Psalms.
