On Sunday the Hebrew Family of Guyana observed the Feast of Weeks or Chag Shavuot. Just for the occasion wishes of joy and prosperity were extended for all those embracing the celebration.
The observance of this Holy Day is in accordance with the Torah or the laws given to Moses by The Creator of Heaven and Earth, as is detailed in Leviticus 23:15-22 and Deuteronomy 16:9-13. Moreover, the Feast of Weeks marked the commencement of the wheat harvest in the land of Israel, where the children of Israel were commanded by The Creator to number seven weeks from the time the corn showed its first signs of being ready for harvesting.
“At the close of the Feast of Unleavened Bread or the Passover season, The Creator commanded that we begin counting from the day after the Sabbath (Sunday) seven weeks or 49 days; and on the 50th day we would celebrate and give thanks for our harvest which he had blessed us to reap,” explained a statement from the Hebrew Family.
In this day and time, while some Hebrew Israelites reside in the land of Israel, many Hebrews live in the western hemisphere, nevertheless the Holy Day of the Feast of Weeks maintains its significance to all.
“We were commanded by the Creator to observe this holy day throughout our generations in all our dwellings,” added the statement which as it noted that the Hebrew Family of Guyana observed the Holy Day during which it extended a joyful, peaceful and prosperous season to all Guyanese.
