Sivan 20 commemorates the massacre of Jews in Blois, France, in 1171, where many were burned alive due to false accusations of blood libel. This day was established as a fast day to remember this and other tragedies faced by the Jewish people. Sivan 20 corresponds to June 5.

Sivan 21 is significant in Jewish tradition as it is the date of the holiday of Shavuot, which commemorates the giving of the Torah to the Israelites at Mount Sinai. In 2026, Sivan 21 corresponds to June 6.
