How are you doing Gunner?

We want to know how you're doing @Deleted User. A full analysis.

I'm ok I had a very long sleep tonight

From about 23:00 PM to about 9 AM

My dog slept on the couch in the living room because I turned the air conditioner on and he is afraid of it

I usually don't open it due to that reason

But tonight was too hot and I had to make the sacrifice of him not wanting to be in my room

He isn't mentally well

He is scared of a lot of stuff

Well some loud noises seems to be ok for him so I'm guessing it has to do with frequencies too

He is very sensitive

Not like me, I'm a rock to him

I can tolerate all of the noises

Yes and it is very new

And he felt that way about it since the start

wtf

Happy Shavuot by the way

to everyone

Just eat dairy products

Basically

I don't even know what the holiday is about

But I think it's very religious for some reason

For the orthodox

it was over the weekend

So it's only one day of vacation

Maybe that's what it meant?

no, that's not it

It's due to Yom tov sheni shel galuyot

"The need for a second festival day arises from problems encountered by Jews living in the Diaspora following the Babylonian exile. The Jewish calendar, is a lunar system with months of 29 or 30 days. In Temple times, the length of the month depended on witnesses who had seen the new moon coming to the Temple in Jerusalem. Following confirmation of their evidence, a new Jewish month would be proclaimed. News of this proclamation was subsequently sent out to all Jewish communities. If no witnesses arrived, the new month was proclaimed the following day. Those communities who didn't receive word of the precise date of the beginning of the new month by the time of a festival, would keep the festival for two days, to account for the eventuality the new month wasn't proclaimed only the following day."

It is very weird, yes

I don't get how they would know to have a festival with no witnesses in the first place

They had an approximation of how long it is supposed to take for the new moon to get to Jerusalem?

I wonder if they actually bothered to make astronomical observations to gauge that

And the witness was just supposed to confirm it

I'm talking about the new moon arriving to Jerusalem relative to their location

why dairy?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavuot#Dairy_foods

Most of these explanations seem super contrived to me

It was probably just a figure of authority who really liked dairy asked his rabbis to come up with a theological reason

Same for the partying for two days

ashkenazi is basically european jew
