Traditional Dairy meal will be served
At a unique crossroads between religion and cuisine – the Holiday of Shavuot celebrating the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai some 2300 years ago has become a celebration of fine dairy cuisine as well.

As the Torah was given and the laws of kosher dining were first received the Jewish People were not yet capable of properly preparing beef and poultry and as such ate dairy. The rest is history.

Exquisite cheesecakes, and other dairy foods all take center stage during this ancient celebration. Some suggest that this has contributed to the renewed popularity this holiday has seen.
