Adorning the Home with Greenery & Flowers

Since it is the Harvest Festival, it is customary on Shavuot to adorn the home and synagogue with fruits, flowers and greens. Furthermore, our Sages relate that although Mount Sinai was situated in a desert, when the Torah was given the mountain bloomed and sprouted flowers.

NOTE: All arrangements should be done early on Tuesday, before the onset of the holiday, to respect the sanctity of Shavuot.
