"for Aletta re Shavuot"


Shalom Aletta:

Interesting post regarding "true" Shavuot date.

Unfortunately not correct because of the instruction given for Shavuot is to count seven weeks, and a next day.  This demands 50 days and disengages Shavuot from a moon phase.  The other feasts are indeed counted on a lunar month date but not so with Shavuot.

Hope this helps.
