Throughout the world, Jews are preparing for Shavuos, the holiday that celebrates the Giving of the Torah.  Here are some Shavuos fun facts:
- The Jewish nation camped at Mount Sinai as "one man and one heart." In the merit of their love and respect for each other, they received the Torah.
 - When G-d gave the Ten Commandments, no creature made noise and there was no echo.  This teaches us that everything on earth absorbed G-d's words.  Our job is to uncover the holiness that already exists in the world.  We do that by learning Torah and fulfilling the Mitzvos!
 - Shavuos is also known as Yom HaBikurim, the Day of the First Fruits.  Farmers would bring their finest produce to the Holy Temple to thank G-d for all His blessings.
