Today Israel is Celebrating Shavuot

It represents the day that Israel received the Torah.
A Torah all night party
The Midrash tells us that the Israelites overslept on the day that they received the Torah.
It has become a custom to stay up all night and read and discuss the Torah to show
HaShem that we are excited to receive the Torah.

Shavuot is one of the three
pilgrimage holidays when in Ancient times Jews brought their first fruits to the Temple
as an offering to HaShem. The first fruits were called Bikkurim
