Welcome to Shavuot!
The holiday of Shavuot is a two-day holiday, beginning at sundown of the 5th of Sivan and lasting until nightfall of the 7th of Sivan (May 30–June 1, 2017). In Israel it is a one-day holiday, ending at nightfall of the 6th of Sivan.
What Shavuot Commemorates
The word Shavuot means “weeks.” It marks the completion of the seven-week counting period between Passover and Shavuot.
The Torah was given by G‑d to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai on Shavuot more than 3,300 years ago. Every year on the holiday of Shavuot we renew our acceptance of G‑d’s gift, and G‑d “re-gives” the Torah.

Orange Continue to Make Chance Amie a Priority | Otto's Grove (.com; Kelly)
When it comes to the Dino Babers offense, everything starts with the quarterback. Syracuse appears to be in great shape for the future at the QB position, with Eric Dungey back and healthy for his sophomore year, Rex Culpepper waiting in the wings, and Elite 11 finalist Tommy DeVito already on campus.
But that doesn’t mean that Syracuse is going to stop trying to stock the cupboard with talented arms. After all, if anyone knows how quickly things can turn sideways at the QB position, it’s Syracuse fans. Thanks to an unprecedented string of injuries, the Orange have put six different QBs on the field since 2015 (Dungey, Zack Mahoney, AJ Long, Austin Wilson, Terrel Hunt, and Mitch Kimble). In other words: you can never be too loaded at the most important spot on the field.
And that’s why Chance Amie remains such a high priority for the coaching staff. The 6-foot-4, 191 pound gunslinger out of Tyler, Texas has been one of Syracuse’s top targets for awhile now, and while he was originally set to visit campus in the spring, that trip had to be scratched due to a track meet.
For now, the Orange will continue trying to get Amie – whose last day of school is this week – up to Central New York to check out the facilities and the school. Don’t be surprised if the coaching staff looks to get a commitment from the 3-star recruit as quickly as possible.

Syracuse Football Recruiting Update: OLB/S EJ Williams Offered (itlh.com; Edsen Jr)
The Syracuse football team continues to recruit and add talent to the Orange. EJ Williams could bring a versatile presence to SU defense.
Throughout this offseason, Dino Babers and the Syracuse football squad have done a phenomenal job of finding recruits in a variety of places. The key is integrating those players into his complicated systems on both offense and defense.
Speaking of, the offense seemed to find its’ stride at the end of last season. While the defense was abysmal, but improved slightly as season progressed.
A lot of that was because of injuries. We all knew the defense would be bad, but after key starters were lost, it got even worse.
So the best way to fix that for the Orange is by adding some depth. While the specific recruiting rankings vary across platforms, the Orange are higher than they’ve been in a while.
The Cuse are hoping to add EJ Williams a versatile safety/olb who should be able to be a plug and play kind of talent.
Blessed to receive an offer from Syracuse University #orangepic.twitter.com/9YRQOeviU7
