Lit. evening. The evening part of a day, which precedes the morning part of the same day because a "day" on the Jewish calendar starts at sunset. In this case it is the beginning of Shavuot
Shavu'ot, the Festival of Weeks, is the second of the three major festivals with both historical and agricultural significance (the other two are Passover and Sukkot). Agriculturally, it commemorates the time when the first fruits were harvested and brought to the Temple, and is known as Hag ha-Bikkurim (the Festival of the First Fruits). Historically, it celebrates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, and is also known as Hag Matan Torateinu (the Festival of the Giving of Our Torah).
On the second day of Shavuot, as on Passover and Sukkoth, it is customary to recite Yizkor, a prayer in memory of a departed relative.
