Is Shavuot becoming hip? The holiday, which begins June 12, may be one of Judaism\’s three major festivals, but it had never caught on in America like its more popular cousins, Passover and Sukkot.
The tradition of tikkun l\’eil Shavuot, the all-night study session that marks the commemoration of God\’s giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai, is celebrated by most Orthodox Jews and many Conservative congregations. But for many unaffiliated and non-Orthodox Jews, the holiday has gone fairly unnoticed.
