Shavuot Foods
Recipes for the Holiday
On Shavuot it is customary to eat dairy foods. Though no one knows for certain where this tradition came from, many believe it is derived from the biblical assurance that the land of Israel is a land "flowing with milk and honey." The dairy foods reference the milk in the land of Israel, and sweet desserts reference the honey.
